Automatic clutch

[Heath82]

If automatic clutch is on, the only difference i saw is that when the car is stalled i just push on throttle to make it go. Nothing else? Am I wrong? I logically had turn it off since i have a th8a, but when a gt3 car gets stalled I can’t turn it on anymore

Hello, it's me again! I'm not stalking you, honest. I've just got my helpful hat on today.

Somewhere in the gameplay settings there is the "Auto Start Engine" option. Check that it's switched on. For full immersion you can map the ignition and engine start functions to buttons. To add some extra buttons you can plug a usb keyboard in and assign functions to that.

Oh great, can i use throttle as an engine start?

With the auto start enabled, I think so. I have mine mapped to buttons - I like the act of manually firing up the engine.

Sounds good. But i saw that with automatic clutch turned off, even gt3 slip out when downshifting. It shouldn’t be like this

This is an important question for me guys, it’s not normal that cars having paddles spin out when downshifting.. so i’m wondering if it’s better to turn automatic clutch on. Is it so bad?

Depends on the car. It is right that some cars with paddles still need a blip in order to downshift smoothly.

So you say it’s better having automatic clutch turned off?

I think it is personal preference rather than a right/wrong or better/worse situation.
