what a game. count me in (demo bram?)

Dave Stephenson · Jan 15, 2009

I just learnt to heel and toe while we were racing bram (Hardly what you'd call polished tho). With manual clutch it seems the only way to do it. That and hold off the first downshift for a little longer than i would in race.
Before when i had it on auto clutch and i had to fully retract the throttle to downshift which often meant locking the brakes.

Bram Hengeveld · Jan 15, 2009

Yes, we start with the demo so everybody that wants to try it can join

Bram Hengeveld · Jan 15, 2009

My experience was just the other way around. In simbin games i blip the throttle a little when downshifting to avoid locking the wheels on RWD cars. With NKP it works with auto clutch ON but a whole different story with OFF.
Heel-and-toe here i come

All my H&T practice with the BMW in Evo will come into use

I may have a giggle this evening, only done a few laps with the demo.

Thats exactly how i do it but manually operating the clutch. during the blip and flick down. i find in most changes i can part engage the clutch and the shift will be nice and smooth with the blip.

i could never nail it in race. I think it feels completely different in nkp, like your fully connected with the car. much better.

I just did a cold race, just installed, config and qual was over. Started with race. Was 4th, but Bram had shifting troubles therefor I finished 3rd.

Laptime sucked of course.

What a sim, all I can bring out right now. You have to try this!

Oh and I instantly bought it also hehe

Isnt it called Lastplace lake?

Yes you're right, I was lazy... Will correct it.

Ramon van Rijn · Jan 15, 2009

Its working here without problems with autoclutch on or off.
Must be something else Bram.

Btw the G25 is not nice for H&T techniques.

Bram Hengeveld · Jan 15, 2009

I drive best with autocluth on, thats for sure.. I really need the blipping to get the engine going and avoid lockups.. Did well on Spa just ago

Sander Hogendoorn · Jan 15, 2009

Even with Autoclutch enabled you need to blip throttle during braking and downshifting, else it's a nightmare :laugh2:

Bram Hengeveld · Jan 15, 2009

Thats what i mean to say (that style suits me best) but using the clutch for downshifting is a hell for me

Sander Hogendoorn · Jan 15, 2009

Thanks guys, maybe I'll hop in tonight too

Péter Bártfai · Jan 15, 2009

Great news!

I downloaded the demo. I had 1.02 demo before and it was fun lapping in it!

Really waiting for the first event!

Josh Healy · Jan 16, 2009

Yeah it was the XINPUT....
I just installed the DX options that was in that isntaller for the Demo, works great.

Sorry to the guys on the server last night....caused an accident at Turn 1 where I hit the inside curb and it launched the car.

Josh Healy · Jan 16, 2009

I'm not using Auto clutch and I rarely use Heel-toe

Important: Please pay special attention to Racedepartment's Golden Rule: If you hit another driver and disadvantage him, we expect you stop and let the other driver regain his position on you. If this costs you many places (eg first few laps) then consider this a penalty for your driving infringement. Doing this shows respect to your fellow drivers and will encourage drivers to be more careful. Please use some care when letting the other driver regain position, do not immediately stop your car on the driving line where it can cause further accidents. Not following this rule will result in your membership of the racing club being terminated at once!
