I have a thread pertaining to this in the technical assistance section, but wanted to put somthing over here as well. I know there's a ton of improvements and suggestions, but not having throttle cut on upshift available, while NOT using auto clutching, really detracts from the gameplay for me. I'm stuck driving with a joystick for awhile yet and by enabling throttle cut on upshift, and throttle blip on downshift, I was able to assign the clutch to a button and manually shift up and down without problem. Now though, (I just came back to the game after having not played for months, and updated to the newest patch), I can enable throttle blip on downshift but no cut on upshift. What this does for us joystick drivers is add more movements to the stick in order to control shifting, which puts me all over the road as I lift off the throttle. If possible, please make throttle cut on uphshift available with auto clutching turned off.

Thanks,

Why don't you try a fresh install? I have the option in my game, version U.

What I don't understand is why you need to use a button clutch. Surely it can't make you any faster, unless you've changed your clutch rate to unrealisticly high. Why not just use auto clutch, throttle cut, and throttle blip. Oh, and by the way, when I used to use my joystick, I cut the throttle myself

I'm seeing a trend.. this is obviously a pointless discussion as everybody just says: why not just use auto clutch. :rolleyes: I however am not looking solely for the fastest way around the track, I'm looking for the most realism I can get while driving the fastest I can, with a joystick - but also keeping it driveable while doing so. Yes GTS, I know, as I can manually lift off as I press the clutch on upshift, but to me, that really gets to the point of having too much input on a single control which alters so many direct aspects of driving the car. Driving with a joystick is already a handful, (and I've got the other stuff setup correctly to help with it), and being able to choose "Throttle cut on upshift" just made the game alot more fun and driveable, while holding onto as much realism as possible, with my available hardware. I'm alot less likely to play now though, till I can get my hands on a wheel.

PS-Primoz, go turn Auto clutch off and the option of Throttle cut on upshift should dissapear - unless you haven't updated to the U patch.

Short and sweet version of why not just use the Auto clutch? It feels like GT4. Yesterday I was looking at a certain, real, car to buy, and decided to see if it was in any of the Gran Turismo games, so I could go drive it around. (I know, not completely realistic, but still fun, and I do own all of the GT's) I checked GT3 first and remembered how cool it was that they'd flubbed up and had that little glitch with using the Reverse button as an upshift/downshift control. But yeah, just banging up and down through the gears with Auto clutch feels less realistic and more like all the other games out there.

AH, i'm using auto clutch. Sorry then.
