TSW, clutch pedal and GPL?

Any TSW or TSW2 owners using the TSW clutch pedal upgrade with GPL? If so, how do you like it...is it worth the price...does using the clutch add a lot to the realism or not, etc. TIA ============================ Dave Mack (remove "nospamfor_" for correspondence)

This may not help, as I don't have a TSW, but I do have an analog clutch, operated by the left paddle of my TMGP1. I find the engagement point so narrow as to be nearly button-like in effect, and don't bother with it anymore for starts. Of the paddle's full throw (about 1.75 in.), clutch activation only uses about .25 in. I get better, more consistent starts without it. About the only times I use it are fanning it now and then to get the revs up without downshifting, motocross-style, and to spin the car back around quickly whenever I find myself backwards on the track! Don't know what a TSW clutch goes for, but don't expect too much in GPL performance gain from it. Steve B. Steve Blankenship remove "nospam" from address for email
I have and ECCI CDS4000 with a clutch, not a TSW, but compared to the TM Nascar Pro (my previous wheel) where you have to use a button for a clutch, I now typically blow most drivers off the line when on-line racing. Enough said. Timothy Moran

[snip] Do you use the clutch at any other time? I know that you don't really have to, but I was wondering if anyone with an analog clutch was using it not just at the start but while driving in GPL in general. Like, does anyone do any heel/toe downshifting to make this already challenging sim even more challenging (possibly to the point of too much realism)? This is probably an ignorant and ***ic question, I know. :) ============================ Dave Mack (remove "nospamfor_" for correspondence)
