This has probably been discussed a million times, but oh well, this is my take on it.
I'm sure most of you have your fancy $300 G25 wheel with the clutch pedal and all, which is nice. Not everyone does though. I use my joystick, and have been since I started playing LFS YEARS ago. It worked perfectly, and I saw no reasons to buy a wheel. Of course I wouldn't mind having a G25 like mostly everyone on here. If I did I wouldn't be complaining about the clutch.
With the current patch thats changed. I am talking about the forced manual clutch and clutch heat (which is way off). With the clutch assigned to a button it is basically an on off switch. Makes getting off the line fast nearly impossible. You either get it to hot, or you bog down on the start. Both ways you end up dead last right away. The same goes for down shifting and up shifting. It is pretty much impossible to be smooth with the clutch assigned to a button.
It would be nice if you could still have the option to have the auto clutch. I see no difference having the option, but letting servers decide to force if it is enabled or disabled. Sure, the hardcore league servers would have the manual clutch, still knowing that I can join a server with the auto clutch and have a competitive fun race.
*obtains flame suit*
PS. I know the patch isn't released yet, and things can change in that time...
