@D0WTA Жыл бұрын

Quick question from a new racer. Do you left foot brake or right foot brake when you are driving or does it differ depending on what type of race it is? I currently use the anti-stall clutch, I don't use the clutch pedal, I left foot brake and manually blip to shift down as needed. I am currently using the Logitec G920 with paddle shifter and 3 pedals. (I plan on getting a quick shift and H-shifter as well as an e-brake eventually but was curious about how you are doing it.) Thanks. Loving all the videos, been watching for the past couple of months and has been cutting my time down quite a bit.

I am also interested in this. Being only new to sim racing (just under 2 weeks) but have been driving in the real world for over 20 years in only automatics, doing manual gear shifts is a whole new experience. I have been using Auto blip but what would you think is the best advice for someone in a similar situation as mine. Should I stick to Auto blip for now until I get more familiar with each car and track or should I just dive right in and go to none or anti-stall and learn that way. Also, even though I have the 3 pedals, I don't use the clutch as when you are calibrating your pedals in game you can just click done after doing the throttle and brake and you will have auto clutch. My question relates more to the shifting side of things as I know I will never be able to use a clutch given my real world driving experience.

@@SebastianWoodard I can guarantee that anti-stall isn't your issue. That's usually only helpful if you get turned and come to a stop. The only thing that would help on starts and restarts is traction control, which stock cars don't have. It's all about throttle control and maximizing the grip you have without spinning the tires. Also, you'll be much faster if you stab the clutch and don't lift when up-shifting instead of lifting and then shifting. I don't think anti-stall helps anything whatsoever on starts and restarts unless you're doing them from a complete stop. To each their own, I guess.

This impacts us sim racers with limited leg movement a good deal. As someone with cerebral palsy, just handling two pedals is already pretty difficult.

I’ll certainly start practicing without the auto blip, even if I can’t do the whole thing.

Anti stall will just add clutch to stop the car from stalling so it isn't doing anything to gear changes so it won't affect acceleration. Auto blip is the same as auto clutch just it will blip the throttle on downshifts as well. But that's a crazy difference between auto shift and none, i really need to get a h-pattern shifter again

@baribari600 7 ай бұрын

You can tell from the sound of the gearbox that it doesn't need a clutch to upshift (its a dog box), which is probably why turning off auto clutch is faster. Interestingly some of the cars will benefit from a manual blip when downshifting into first (or second for the Vee) even if you are using auto-blip, because they will tend to slide otherwise. This is just more evidence that every car needs custom controls. Haha.

Ive been racing a full season with a league with the Audi 90. I can tell you that anyone using driving aids with the clutch will be slower. The delay between shifts is longer thats why. I think its cool in a way because it encourages peoples to drive the car with the clutch even if its harder. To facilitate the driving, you can downshift without any clutch if you rev match well and that will help you downshift from 6 to 1 more easily

I know it was just to show the rough direction of where you're going but i thought i might share this anyways. Thanks for the video, have a great day Dave!

@billbenedict4664 Жыл бұрын

Each choice down the list includes all the clutch aids from higher up. So Auto-shift includes auto-blip, auto-clutch and anti-stall. When you chose Auto-blip, I noticed you using the clutch pedal in your test, but you did not need to. You still had auto-clutch included with auto-blip. I don't know on that particular car if it works or not, but you may even have been able to avoid the clutch entirely when shifting once you were at anti-stall or 'none' settings and been even faster.

Not sure it was mentioned, but with an h shifter in this car you can pre select the next gear, dip the clutch and keep the throttle pinned. I only race this car and have no assists and the clutch short calibrated. For up shifts I can move the shifter to the next gear then a quick press on the clutch at the right rpm and it shifts. Not sure if this is quicker than what Dave demoed. Works for me.

I used to race in real life so I would never use any assistance. I need to keep it as real as possible! Great video as always Dave!

This is why I think you should have to use whatever the real car had..

Just got curious, does it make any difference in gt3/gt4 ? Holy cow, thats a hell of a difference and you still maintained a great fight last video, awesome!!!

Gt3 gt4 cars don't use clutch for shifting in real life. Just click the paddle to shift. Their clutches are only for 1st gear starts and reversing

What about GT3 ? Maybe a stupid question but does it matter for GT3 ?

No, it's all done by the cars computer so it has no effect 👍

Who says a human can’t shift as fast as a computer 😂

It makes sense, if you’re using driving aids there should be some kind of consequence

+1. I'm sure iracing did this on purpose, or else no one would bother to drive the car as it's meant to

If you go to the race video, Dave has the Kamel website pinned in a comment. I can’t post it here because of KZfaq reasons 😒

Auto blib is only used for downshifting. Shouldn't matter with upshifts 😉

@alongfall1 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for giving me yet another reason to not go iRacing. Auto blip should have absolutely zero affect on acceleration because it should only be active when downshifting (in place of heel and toe).

At least it's an option for those that want it. Id rather be able to turn something off, than need it when I don't have it 👍
