0.28 Weird Clutch Behaviour

I have fired up the game straight after updating, loaded in on the Automation Test Track, spawned in the ETK K series. As soon as i started driving (No assists on "realistic" gearbox) I have noticed that whenever i release the clutch on my controller the gears make a grinding sound. Has there been a delay or something implemented? I'm not able to shift as fast as I was able to before the update?

 

its supposed to be there you need to hold down the clutch until the full gear change

 

I have the same problem

 

from the devblog

IMPORTANT: We’ve resolved a problem related to manual transmissions and how they respond to clutch input!

Previously, even if the clutch assist feature was turned off and players expected full control over the clutch, this was not the case. Shifting gears only required a brief clutch input, resulting in perfect clutch timing every time, which is unrealistic. This issue has now been addressed, which is excellent news, however it also means that players will need to adapt to the new clutch behavior, as shifts may feel slower due to the removal of the unintended “God Mode.” Despite this, actual shift times remain the same or may even be faster due to other improvements and changes.

 

Alright, seems like i missed this. Thanks

God, it will take time to get used to that tho haha

 

They need to have a gameplay feature that makes it as it was. It's really brutal for gamepad players, and enabling clutch assist just isn't a fulfilling answer. Grinding gear when I clutch late is fun, stalling is fun, and being able to do that while rowing through gear aggressively is fun.

 

Yup, i do agree to that

 

Hey all, I've just found how how to patch this behavior out of the game:
Find this section in manualGearbox.lua (around line 247):

Code:

if availableSyncTime * maxSyncSpeed < absAVDifference then
            print(string.format("Available sync time too small. Required: %.4fs, actual: %.4fs", absAVDifference / maxSyncSpeed, availableSyncTime))
            print(string.format("Hypothetical sync rate required for this shift: %.2f rad/s", (absAVDifference / availableSyncTime)))
            isSuccessfulShift = true
            isGrindingShift = false
            maxGrindingTorque = 50
          else
            print(string.format("Good shift, perfection: %.1f%%", (absAVDifference / maxSyncSpeed) / availableSyncTime * 100))
          end

Remove these lines:

Code:

            isSuccessfulShift = true
            isGrindingShift = false
            maxGrindingTorque = 50

I personally also un-commented the print() lines so that I can check in the console when it would have normally failed the shift based on the new logic.
