Hi Thanks for replies Erling and Tony perhaps i spend to much time looking at XD.
RE: auto clutch have assigned a button to switch auto clutch off and on the only difference i notice is gear change smooth with on and slightly joggy with off no difference at start. If i fit clutch pedal can you slip clutch in GTL for start?
With auto clutch on and using a clutch pedal at the start, it seems the game 'auto slips' the clutch - no matter how quickly I drop the pedal, the car always starts moving slowly. Just did some experimentation with auto clutch off. You CAN slip the clutch, but it was with the merest of travel of the pedal, so really difficult to do. Can't say if setting a larger dead zone might help.
How did you assign a button for auto clutch? I would like to do that, but can't find it among the functions you can assign to buttons in GTL. Did you use an external key mapping software or driver setting ?
Also experimented with starting a stalled engine. Managed to start it in most cases. Wasn't aware that there's a small delay from you hit the starter button, till the car actually starts. Sometimes though, it would enter a 'mode' where it wouldn't start, but a combination of putting it in and out of gear, pressing and letting go of the clutch, and possibly fiddling with ignition too, usually got it started again. Also found it very easy to jumpstart the car, if on an incline and rolling, even very slowly. Pressing the clutch, entering a gear and then dropping the pedal gets it started - in both forward and reverse, depending on the direction it's rolling in.
