1.21 Clutch Shifting Change?

[jl1101]

Is it just me being rusty after 3 months of GT6 hiatus that makes me feel clutch shifting after V.1.21 has change drastically, or is it because of a change in 1.21?

It seems to me clutch shifting is now a lot harder as:
1. I need to push the clutch really hard until it goes down to the bottom or it would go to N
2. Heel and toe is hence a lot harder
3. When shifting up, I would need to wait until the rev goes down sufficiently for the gears to match.

Anyone experiencing something like this? If it is so, does it make the experience more realistic (I haven't driven a car IRL)?
P.S. I'm using a G27

I've got a G27 and use the shifter exclusively on cars that have them IRL, and I don't notice any difference.

GT Clutch. Oh Boy. I dont miss it lol. But on other note has it improved or is it the same as 1.00?

I'm fairly certain it hasn't changed a single bit.

It's probably just a case of 'The Emperor's New Clutch' I'm afraid. Happens every update...

Using the clutch in any kind of time trial/competition is pretty much suicide.

I always do that and get easily gold, even win online races, but it is just training and the clutch in GT is stupid anyway

Missed this thread, for me Clutch is fixed, I can downshift with no problems now.

From my point of view Clutch has been improved, no more miss shifts from 3rd to 2nd and from 1st to 2nd much much better. I usually drive with heel and toe technique and it feels more natural, I can focus on driving for once!!!

Anyone else feels the same about clutch?

Cars I tried so far Yellowbird, Elise, Caterham, Ferrari GTO 84

Calle me crazy but I leave a vid drving the GTO, no ABS, heel and toe downshifting.

Oh my cripes ! LOL, I've owned my G27 for over 2 years and only just now accidentally discovered that pushing the gear shift stick down and south/east it goes into reverse !! All this time i've been cursing a lack of reverse in the gears and having to map a button elsewhere !! Oh i could kick myself
