I think it was a reference to the G25 having a manual clutch pedal, so who would do something silly like slip the clutch mid spin. This of course applies to anyone with a clutch pedal, but the reference to G25 is simplier than writing all drivers who use a clutch pedal.
Yes Tristan is right, what I meant was that if you're using a G25 or any other wheel with a clutch pedal (with autoclutch disabled of course, who the hell has a clutch pedal and uses autocluch :really, it's actually quite hard or at least takes considerable effort to do what the autoclutch does all by itself.
-- if you have a G25, your mom bought it for you. Yeah, OK.
Of course when you spin a car you hold in the clutch, duh.. Even if you didn't the clutch wouldn't necessarily burn up, it is hardly the weakest link in the chain. Whenever someone spins their car in a race on TV, the clutch is always the first thing to go, even if they forget to depress it and stall the car right? No.
You don't have to spin the car to test the clutch anyway, you can just stop and go while SLIPPING the clutch in a realistic way and have the clutch die pre-final patch. That was the question that was not answered though, is it different now or not?
It's also telling that the quote "Join the "We're glad LFS is harder and more realistic now" club " blindly accepts things that aren't true or even implied to be true, such as a sim being harder automatically implies it is more realistic. Anyone who defends that statement needs their head checked.
Some people are so rabidly defensive of LFS around here they can't even have a simple back and forth conversation without throwing insults around. It's sad.
