Message: [QUOTE="ErikD, post: 12698095, member: 304334"] Dunno if someone already answered this, but if ur H-Pattern is hooked up, you CAN NOT use it clutchless, or otherwise, as you could previously in Sport Mode. Tried it out last night... Ur H-Pattern is null and void in Sport Mode, even if the locked/BOP settings specify "Manual Transmission"... Unless they get serious about the player-base interested in realism/simulation, ur stuck with paddle shifters in all Sport Mode events. Personally I think it stinks, and I also seriously doubt an update/fix is anywhere on their priority list going forward... I did some Touristen Fahrten last night on the Norschleife, and shifting is basically back to how it was outside of Sport Mode. They did keep the "Nintendo-ish" grinding sound effect though :-p A few other quick comments about this manual/clutch witch hunt while I'm at it... The guys with top 10 regional lap times are gonna kick ur [USER=1833]@ss[/USER] no matter whether ur using a clutch or not... I don't care enough to put any time into researching it, but I GUARANTEE there are a number of totally "non-simulation" tricks-of-the-trade going on. The one guy who posted earlier in the thread mentioned he was an EMEA finalist, and I'm sure he, if not many of you, know these other little "tricks". They are the things that are gonna make a hell of a lot bigger difference than some nonsense like using a clutch pedal... So why not hose that crap, if this is supposed to be "the real driving simulator"?! I mean look; on the Nordscleife, there's a jump at around Flugplatz, where you have to let off the throttle for a second, but in the game u can keep the pedal to the metal in most cars. Same goes for the last crest on the SchwedenKreuz section. Those video game lapses from reality are gonna make a lot bigger difference in the top lap times versus someone using a clutch. I love GT Sport, but I do get a little sour over this stuff, as it's really going far more towards E-Sports, than a simulator. [/QUOTE]
