This is the first thing that my father taught me when I asked how do I use manual in driving school. “Just listen to the engine boy.”

Finally someone made a proper manual video time to keep practicing nice work Alex

glad i found you man, 2 weeks into ur builds and guides and im already one head over my previous results

Important info for the PS5 players: If you dont feel comfortable with the default buttons for changing the gears up/down you can easily replace em in the system menu. Just go to the settings->accessibillity->controller and switch the buttons to these you feel comfortable with:)

Reduced dynamic range will always help hear the details of the car better. Great video Alex!

it's very well explained to learn to fly manually, thank you from France 😊🇫🇷

Thanks a lot for the tutorial on manual transmission (& boost control/discipline), it was metal. I haven't done anything like that since Project Gotham Racing 2 (Yh I know old game).

Man this educational video is the perfect for people changing from auto to manual transmission, much appreciated When i made this change myself (when i started following you and saw the acceleration difference from auto to manual, i said "oh i have to try this out") i couldnt pre shift and i had to search like one hour to find out that i had to turn off the auto reverse option I almost gave up for that stupid setting xD I also have to say that i discovered the redline tech in the first one or two days of the release ( im a fan of racing games from like forevah (pre PSX) so thats why )and after i saw a video about it and i though aaaahhhh there goes my advantage hahahaha My times are not the best ( well online 99% i finish 1st this matters haha :P ) but i am really having fun racing and now with this community is awesome Glad to meet all of you guys Peace!!!

You Alex, have honestly mastered tron turns.

HOLY I JUST LEARNED SOOOO MUCH

thanks for explaining redline tech, heard that term a lot, didnt know what it was

Killing cops with his eyes closed! Love the video❤ my first NFS game I’m going to do manual on!

Love the Foxbody ❤

Great tutorial!

Im sure this is a great video

I’ve played manual for at least 5 days and I was struggling in terms of shifting, most of the times my eyes are glued on the rev meter, it makes me not as focused, I’m more focused in automatic.

the goat

I've always been able to drive manual in forza but not need for speed I'm slowly playing manual more and more. But mostly still auto but hopefully soon I'll get to the point where I don't want auto anymore

this game forces you to have to look at the rev gauge because the engine noises get so muffled by the effects, particularly nitrous

Guys practice quick reflexes if you crash and get stuck in a race and need to reverse 😂 down shift completely to reverse. Also some cars like the Ferrari evo like to stay in 5th 6th and 7th for the whole run.

Playing like this is crazy to me, first time seeing someone use the stick to manual shift

Word has it That alexcornut likes automatic transmission when racing 🏁 !

Could u make a build with the Mercedes-AMG GT S Roadster (2019) in a class pls?

I think you forgot to mention that pre shifting won’t work if you change cars during playlists. I noticed it does work if I pick the same car for the second and third race.

Thank you for the guide been really usefull. I know its a stupid question and its been quite a long time just asking because I am having a issue with pre-shifting gears hope that u can help me. Just before the race start I cant shift to the gear I want I am on ps5. Do you know what can be the problem. Do I have to press anything else? Thanks in advance :)

I have a question. I'm using ps5 and I can't do advance shift in manual. I already set the auto reverse off but still I can't do advance shift. Is it only for PC version?

It won't let me launch in another gear other than 1st gear in VOL 3. and I have it set to manually shift to R?

I wish they'd give semi-auto as an option so you can have automatic but change gears if you wish too

Can you please do Panamera. Cant find the right class for this car

How do you preshift before the race starts ?

Alright, whats the hate on claw grip? Thats how I play all my damn games, from Monster Hunter to NFS bro 😆 hasn't hindered me at all! I got enough fingers for both bumpers and triggers so imma use them! Genuinely curious though, how does that create crashes vs your one finger method?

Does the 3rd gear start still works ? I have everything set up and still not working

How do you pre shift? It does not work when I’m starting a race

Think they need to fix the auto reverse so that you can pre shift and it not cancel. Was like that in heat could pre shift my rsr into 3rd

@AlexCornnut Now next time Hex is in my lobby and sends a playlist up, maybe I can use this to help me. I know I probably won’t win but it’s great practice.

It doesn't preshift. No matter auto reverse on or off. It just don't want to work. Any idea?

well i get good lap times in mannual in B class but as the gear increases and speed i m just unable to handle the car can help. i have been practicing for weeks now still struggle any tips.

Are we able to do redline tech on keyboards?

do i need to let go of the gas when shifting?

I think the music in this game completely sucks so I'm more than happy to listen to my engine:) great vid!

Hey does redlining still work or did it get patched as well¿

You don't seem to use downshifting to slow down going into a corner.

Also, being a musician with perfect pitch helps so much with this

Real racer as in a real racer that's like a competitive NFS player or a real racer as in outside of the gaming world? :D

You never did a Vulcan build tho

The manual transmission in this game is so fake and works so weird and unrealistic, especially when you're downshifting. Somehow the automatic transmission drives way faster than the manual mode, even if your shifting is faster and consistent you lose speed just because you're in manual. Ive tried both and its just so inconsistent the way the speed is shown.

"listen to the engine " what a discovery!! I bet none of the people that actually drive stick shift know about this! 🙄
