Okay.........I may spend more time off the track than need be....but it
happens. My biggest annoyance now is the stalling effect. I do not recall
this before. It's annoying when you are sitting on level ground and the car
stalls because I didn't get it into neutral before it comes to a stop. Or
off the line if you "pop" it.........is there any way around this. On level
ground you can't bump start.......which I learned you can actually
do.....cool, but would rather the car continue running.
Gees..........too many posts today....must have time on my hands to notice
all these things about this game.....ah well. It is still loads of fun.

This would be for GTr2002 by the way.......sorry.

Well, it seems the way the wheels cease rolling and the engine stalls is
much more realistic now, since you'd hardly expect to be able to roll a
real F1 car very far in a low gear without engine power applied :) Now, you
really need to have a button assigned to the clutch and push that in as
soon as things start to go badly wrong! (The bump starts, on the other
hand, are far too easy to accomplish, and would require quite a lot more
"oomph" behind them in real life, I think. But we should probbaly all be
thankful that they're a bit too easy in this game!)

Go back to the pre game menu and choose amatuer instead of pro. This
does not mean you are an amatuer, just that you wish to use the auto clutch
function.

Turn on "Clutch Assistance" from the Difficulty menu (that's where I think
that setting is, anyway)

I agree about the bump starts.......realistic to a point and cool....but to
a novice driver, a much needed bonus. I did figure a way to get it to stay
in gear with the brake on without stalling. I'll use this at least until I
can finish a short race without running off the track too many times, then
I'll add the more realistic stalling effect. But for
now............................thanks though. Maybe I oughta start looking
into a new wheel that comes with the clutch.........now that would add some
serious fun to the game I can imagine. What would be a decent starter wheel
w/clutch? I have been using the same wheel for about 3 yrs now and maybe an
upgrade would help..........maybe even make me a better
driver............SHEYA !!!!!!

Dave, actually that switches from manual transmission to
semi-automatic transmission, since FIA cars aren't allowed to use
semi-autos. You can use clutch assistance in either case.
