I read in here that N4 will have a fully functioning analog clutch. Does
anyone know if we will have to use the clutch to get the car rolling (like a
real WC car), and have the clutch in during pits? That would be sweet. It
would just add to the imersion effect. We're getting pretty close to almost
being there. All I need to do is to dress in a race suit, and get the heat
up to about 125 degrees, and I'll be set.. LOL

Ever try F355 Challenge? Go to your nearest acarde and give it a test
drive... It feels and reacts like the real d@mn thing... As for
fricton point, you KNOW from the engine sound, grips etc... The pedal
itself doesn't have to have FFB.

I would think it would be an option, and here's why.
YES! Because why have a clutch if you don't need to use it...
NO! Very few people have controllers with a 3rd pedal at this
time. (I have heard you can connect a 2nd set of pedals but most people
can't even connect a VCR properly so that too limits the # of people who
could take advantage of the feature.)
So probably a toggled option somewhere in the setup.

I would hope so as that is what it's like in Nascar Heat. If you don't have
the clutch depressed when you jump in your car, you stall the engine.

I don't see the point of it.

It was possible to "slip" these games into motion, but come on,
you KNOW everyone would just sidestep it and roast the rubber!

I tried this with my old VW Golf the other day. There is absolutely no
feedback through the clutch pedal. When the clutch engages you feel it
in your butt. Of course, you don't have that luxury in a race sim, so
maybe it should be faked through the clutch pedal instead.

Not to mention that a racing clutch doesn't slip.....much :-)
I had one in my road car a couple of years ago along with a Quaife close
ratio gearbox with straight cut gears and looooong first gear and a
regular rear end (3:42), darn thing did 60 mph in 1st gear and 120 in
4th, let's just say that I didn't use it for my daily commuting around
town....:-)

You dont get feedback when turning the wheel, but people still race
sims...it is something you get used to.

Used to have carbon racing clutch installed in my 3rd gen RX-7, it
just doesn't slip! Need some getting used to at first, and might stall
from time to time when starting up hill, but it sure is sweet!! The
carbon clutch along with C's short stoke shift is the best combo!!
