I am running an offline championship simulating the 79 procar championship, initially I was shifting in the "traditional" way, up shifting lifting the throttle and down shifting using the clutch, but I noticed I can up shift without lifting the throttle and down shifting without clutch just blipping the throttle, I know some gearboxes allow you to do it, the dog boxes I think, but I thought the M1 did not have this kind of gearbox. As I like to get as close as possible to reality I watched a bunch of on board YouTube videos and in literally all of them they shift "traditionally". Is the game shifting wrong?, or really you could do it in the real car although the on board youtube videos?.
Check in options\gameplay if the clutch help is off. I noticed it changes to on sometimes, I dont know why.
I am aware sometimes the auto-clutch change to on alone, but no, this was the first thing I checked, and it happens with the auto-clutch in off, at least in the config in gameplay. Do not happen to you?
Then like myself, to downshift you do not need the clutch if you throttle blip, if you do not do it in some cases the gear does not get in. I know the dog box gearbox allows this, but as far as I know the M1 does not have a dog box, also as said in all the multiple youtube videos of on board cameras of real M1s I found nobody is doing this, they all use the clutch. But more unusual is it allows you to up shift without the clutch, also this no one of the videos do it. My point is to know if this is realistic, maybe as all youtube videos I found are from M1s driven now, I did not find any on board of the original procar races, maybe now the pilots just use the clutch to be in the safe side but the original ones use it that way...?
Regardless of the setting, when you shift in game, in the HUD does the little clutch meter go up (as though you are pressing the clutch) when you shift?
Hi just tested now, there is no clutch bar active, if you gear change without the clutch, the clutch bar in the HUD is always zero, so it nis not the case the auto clutch is in some way active, so as said you CAN change without clutch without the auto clutch active, blipping the throttle in down shifts. That is why I ask because I think this is not possible IRL, as far as I know as the gearbox is not a dog box and also all the youtube onboard videos I found they always use the clutch in a "traditional" gear change.
