If you have all driving aids OFF, stop, select 1st gear and floor it - you should be smoking your tires like crazy. No wheelspin?

If you are in first gear and at 0mphgame developers have two potions: 1.Stall the engine - it would be a cool option. You'd have to add little throttle in neutral and then shift in 1st 2. Have an automatic clutch - like in GP2 which works just fine. They chose 3rd option - 0rpm (Cars in NFS II also stop at 0 rpm:). Sasa

hi sasa, > Is it just me or is anyone else out there annoyed by the behaviour > of the neutral gear. Why the hell is the car jumpin up and down > when you rev up in neutral gear. yeah i was just playing it again for a few races just before, and noticed the same thing, when in neutral the car kinda jumps around on its suspension as if i've got my brakes *** while revving in gear. also, i get lots of weird little wheel spin noises when revving in neutral which just makes me think more that it simulates "neutral" by having the car in 1st gear with the brakes on. well, maybe this is more proof that neutral is 1st gear with brakes. most of us don't have clutch pedals, so i guess they've done this to save us the hassle of staslling all thetime. since in a race we don't normally idle at all, this shouldn't be an issue:) yeah i notice this too, no real wheelspin in 1st. i have a theory, if a sim is perfect, all anyone would be able to say is "wow! this feels perfect!" but when there are little things slightly wrong, then this is what we notice the most, and thus all we *seem* to be doing here in the newsgroup is trashing the game. I would like to point out that apart from all these minor details, the whole game in general is very good, it would just be a shame to see such potential get lost due to very minor issues. even the tiniest change to how the car handles can make such a big difference in feeling. i hope they can fix it up in a manner to suit us all:)
