Quote from Matrixi :

I don't agree. You can shift way faster with manual clutch pedal than using auto-clutch. I've noticed I can always pull off a tiny bit distance on the straights against people who are using auto-clutch, it's a tiny difference, but in the world of racing it's every second that matters. You certainly won't be losing anything by going for manual clutch.

are u guys using manual shifting with H-shifter ? or using paddle or up-down stick ?

well, i'm using actlab shifter and performance pedal..

of course i'm slightly faster or almost same with paddle + clutch

but you know IRL thiere is very rare seqential shift system in road cars..(just exept SMG,DSG...etc ) thats why i stick with H-shifter



does anyone faster with H-shifter and manual clutch?

if there is... maybe i need more practice

there is no advantage using manual clutch at this time.

its just anoying and potential mistake.


auto clutch and no lift shifting is way faster in accelation.(especially if u using H-shifter)


LFS must should have mission stress or slower auto clutch-shifting (except GTR,FO8..etc)

I think brake & throttle help penalty is not about fast or slow , its about tire conservation which is critical at endurance race. ( and that's a one of reasons many RL races banned ABS/TCS )

and those parts should have "some" weights of course ( yes! they are some metal parts..)

everyone knows auto(and semi auto) transmission heavier than manual , non-ABS/TCS car slightly lighter than equipped car

more instrument = more weight , its simple

As we all konw , LFS doesn't have any penalty for driving assistance...


assist option and transmission type should go under each car's setup menu

example

1. auto & sequential mission = + 10 kg

2. brake help = + 5 kg

3. throttle help = + 5 kg

4. auto clutch = + 5 kg : if u dont use this assist, u can stall your engine and u will get new "engine start" button for that. ( 3-5 sec delay for restart)

5. auto lift = + 5 kg

6. auto blip = + 5 kg


10 - 25 kg penalty is not a big deal for your lap time.

but it makes tiny difference between who does and doesn't

with this feature we dont have to force assist option for league players.



and i think we also need "pure weight peanlty system" for league which can set by host admin to each player (according to last race results, 20-50 kg winner's penalty)
