Unrealistic Clutch and Engine Behavior in Manual Vehicles

I find the clutch and engine behavior in manual vehicles to be unrealistic. Even at idle, the engines have so much torque that you can release the clutch quickly without stalling, causing the engine to momentarily jerk but the vehicle to start moving smoothly. Not to mention, the clutch operates linearly rather than at a specific point like in real vehicles, which cannot be properly adjusted even by changing the settings. Even if you manage to stall the engine, the behavior is still far from realistic. I wonder if game developers and players are aware of this issue, as nobody seems to be discussing it or proposing any solutions.

 

wouldn't reducing the power of the engine at very low rpm (under the idle rpm) solve the issue or at least reduce it ? I saw somewhere @DaddelZeit talk about a lua setting that changes the power of the engine at idle speed and below with a coefficient to help the engine to stall, I don't remember much tho maybe he can explain it better

 

That's what I have been doing on all my engine mods, on the jbeam file the power is normal at idle rpm but it goes down a lot faster than on official engines and honestly it has some very good result. It never stalls except when you release the clutch too brutally. However that's a quite time consuming solution as it requires to update all the engines of the game manually. However the lua file I was talking about seems to do apply that on all ICE of the game.
When I say "reducing the power at low rpm" I don't mean to change power at idle rpm, it's perfectly fine as it is, but significantly reducing it between the 0-500rpm range, where most irl ICE barely builds enought power to maintain a constant rotation speed
