On what was this idea? Do you suggest to the developers?... because, apparently, was accepted

Quote from morpha :Button clutch IS instant, you can even shift by simply pressing shift-up/shift-down and clutch simultaneously. The button control rate is utterly irrelevant.

Yes, Button clutch IS instant, perhaps as proof of this, when you shift up or shift down with the clutch pedal and H shifter, you can see, for a brief moment in the shift display, the neutral position "n", which is not in automatic clutch. So this also suggest a package that in cars with "h" gearbox you can see for brief moments the neutral position when you shift up or shift down in auto clutch, with the resulting few time delay

Quote from irollgen4s :I understand what you mean and I'll try to clarify for everyone else.

What he means is, when using a clutch shifter and pedal, there is a time delay between gears(ex: going from 3rd to 4th, its more like 3rd, clutch, small delay, 4th).

Then with auto clutch on, the shifting is much faster and smoother then it is while using a clutch pedal.

Basically all he wants is for auto clutch to go 3rd, nuetral, 4th. to make even timing with people who use a clutch pedal.

Personally i would enjoy this alot, I LOVE using the FZR with my H shifter and clutch pedal, Its just that much more challenging!

Yess, this is.. thanks for your clarification =)

I too love playing with H-Shifter and clutch pedal, its much more challenging, entertaining and realistic..
Automatic clutch = Time delay

Hi,

I noticed that when you enable the option to change gears with automatic clutch in cars with default gearbox in "H" (UF1, XFG, XRG, LX4, LX6, RB4, FXO, XRT, RAC, FZ5, UFR and FZR), the time it takes LFS in change from one gear to another is zero, however if gears are change with a wheel with clutch pedal (and in real life too), there is always a small time delay between the change of a gear and another reason why which users who use a wheel with a clutch pedal have a significant disadvantage with respect to those who use the automatic clutch, because by adding the small time delay with the number of times you shift the gears in a race is a significant time.

Because of this I wanted to suggest that when you enable the option of using the automatic clutch when you use these cars with default "H" gearbox, there is a small time delay between the change of gear and gear about as a professional pilot average delay in change gears, while this delay should be seen on the "gears display" as "current gear", neutral, "next gear", so that in this way, users who have a wheel with clutch pedal (and "H" shifter) should not be disadvantaged by the fact of wanting to experience more real, and conversely, if the user is talented and the change gears can happen very quickly, have a slight advantage as it would in real life.

Sorry for my english.. i speak spanish

Enjoy!

"nah, in real live u would calculate... for example before the race u see it has 50 laps, than u tell ur crue, u wanna come into pits in lap 25 thats it.

and even if u come earlyer, u just tell it your crue for example when u get into the lap u wanna come into pit. than the crue would need maximal 15 secs to get ready.

even if u would call them when u re entering the pits, and your crew would be at the end of the pit, the would be ready when u come :S"

Yes, agree....I thought at one time about two or three seconds, enough so that other pilots are not suddenly in the space of the box called occupied (with cones materialized), as it is common for other pilots occupy the space of other box unemployed persons to enter and exit the box itself.

"It doesn't take time in real life so why in lfs?"

so that other pilots are not suddenly with the cones, and take a penalty. In real life the mechanics have to move square box with the whole team, and that takes a little time
More realistic and feasible pit-in idea

Hi!,
I know, the entrance to pits for each pilot is already suggested, but wanted to add a realistic suggestion to implement this idea in view of the progress made by programmers in the engine lfs. My suggestion is to activate the box itself through a command, so it take a little time to be ready to receive the pilot, and while is ready could surround the box square with cones around (obviously,three of four sides) appearing little by little (fade in) until it are finally materialized. this is with the intention that the other pilots who come to pit, especially those who come to Box nearby, dont´s passs for it, knowing that this space will be occupied while materializes, with the intention not to use it suqare box space to enter or leave to Box of these pilots. If these pilots go through this box once materialized, will have some sort of penalty. Once the box is ready, the pilot who activated the box, will receive a warning for gaining entrance to his box and after receiving the notice will have two or three times or laps (or programmers deem ) to enter his box, otherwise the box will no longer be prepared to wait for the pilot so that the cones disappear, and if this pilot wants to try again pits, you'll have to repeat the process.

I hope you understand, because I speak Spanish and I did this with a translator and my basic English.

thanks
