Does anybody know how to set the manual clutch back to semi-automatic? Since I
don't have a clutch pedal (yet), I liked it better as a semi-auto. TIA

I had to set the mode to 'amateur' and that seemed to do it.

Am I missing something? I don't have a clutch pedal and I set the car to
pro. All I have to do is blip/lift the throttle as appropriate when
shifting, I don't ever touch the button I have mapped to the clutch. Seems
to work.

Amateur just lowers the workload some.

I think you hit the nail right on the head Dave (as usual). And thanx for the
responses. Off to try it.

and it doesn't take much to get used to it.
Hmm, chewing gum and walking at the same time, that sounds like that will
require some practice....

Other than the misnomer of "Amateur" and "Professional," we can all be
thankful that the new gods of simming (SBDT) gave us these options, so we
can all configure the way we like and take advantage of clutch controllers
if we have them.

Can someone explain if there's any advantage in using a clutch pedal on the
pro setting? As Haq points out, it still seems very do-able even without
using a clutch.
Also, can some experienced racer explain the timing when blipping. i.e.
should I just quickly 'stab' the throttle and then downshift or should I
hold the throttle on while downshifting?

Haven't grabbed the patch yet, but I've been running a normal gearbox
since day 1 and it seems to behave like GPL or N4/2002/2003, aside
from not causing critical damage if you don't lift when you shift.
I hope the rankings on findthelimit.com are now divided into amateur
and pro since using a semi-automatic gearbox gives a decent laptime
advantage.
