After a few days i finally unlocked a car that i can use my thrustmaster shifter with.
i immediately noticed that their is a lot of inconsistancy with the clutch, which leads to many miss shifts
clutch should not be engaged at 95 percent clutch throw.
another problem i noticed was that you cannot speed shift. the current way is set-up is like the feeling of learning to drive stick shift. (focused effort)
not to mention the immense amount of time loss to re-engage a gear. (having to push the clutch 100%)
release, throttle, engage clutch, shift, ect. literally we should not be concentrating our efforts in shifting.
i also know that this is to prevent an unfair advantage when other don't use the shifter as it takes much longer time to shift between a seq, and a full manual.
that being said, that's their problems,
we drivers who use shifter should not be hindered by the fact that other don't know how to drive stick shift. and limit the efficiency and skill of drivers who do
another problem that really bothers me is the miss shifts, every miss shift i had threw me into Neutral, with no consequence to Engine/Transmission damage.
i understand that Sony wants to approach a wider audience. which i call casual racers. but what about the hardcore guys that will play this for years to come. give us the option to turn this damage on in race settings.
Engine braking,
i am very efficient doing heel toe, and i did not come across downshifting problems as much as i did upshifting. but what i did notice was that their is'nt significant engine braking when doing so, no forward lunge, no scrubbing off speed, ect. (and purposely threw a low gear while on the rev limiter, again no consequence to engine damage. and it really changes the dynamics as far as going into a corner.
All in All, the essence of driving is their. but the subtle things that make you feel like your racing seem lackluster.
while i do enjoy the sim very much. the above is essentual to any sim, and in my opinion really puts pressure on all drivers to focuse their efforts on the core of what racing is,instead of pleasing a mass casual audience.
at least give us the option to turn this on, rather then hinder our skills to compete fairly with casual sim racers.
ill leave you with a video from Asseto Corsa. using hydraulic brakes. this is what shifting should be like.
video begins at 7:25 before that is just explanation to the Mod
