You tried it without clutch help?That I dont understand Norbert. If you use LC without any LC override tricks, the rpm will never go below 3000rpm

Ya. I started at Indy in WC and crashed into an FTS car, which was standing on his Grid spotYou tried it without clutch help?
Than FTS car is different to other teams carYa. I started at Indy in WC and crashed into an FTS car, which was standing on his Grid spot
PS: And I even only had a button assigned at clutch and no pedal
Like i did in Long Beach 3.5 Winter series.
Or the other possibility would be, that EVERYBODY have to use the LC without TC Override. Than its for everybody the same and you have no disadvantageWe override The launch control procedure because the RPM of LC is really too low. We need a very very short 1st gear to have a fast launch. The major problem is we cannot change that RPM to be optimized with the torque or gear ratio.
We override the LC too because if you stay with LC after your start, the car doesn't accelerate as fast as when you override it. ( TC handicap )
i always said in WC we need to ban that LC. We have enough skill to use the clutch without difficulties. Of course, it can cause drama if we stall... Like i did in Long Beach 3.5 Winter series.

that can actually happen even with no LC-trick or wtv. For example we had at Twister once too long first gear, and it did that, antistall all the time.. we had to change gears.
He had LC and 30% of throttle I think.
Anyway, I don't know how there could have been that many incidents when there was no LC... I did two GPVWC races some months ago, there is no LC, and noone crashes. And it wasn't even the top division.
I think there's more fun in holding clutch and half of throttle and releasing clutch and controlling the wheelspin with the throttle pedal, even if we don't have special torque maps and double clutch. More fun than holding two buttons and controlling wheelspin by... tapping a button.
Also John why do you say "more realistic", is FSR trying to be as close to F1 as possible or what? This might be really offtopic, but we (or at least I) don't have any fun copying F1 tracks, DRS, dirty air and stuff. I think there's muuuch more fun when having 10% of dirty air than we have now. Why do we simulate something that kills racing? More real wins over more fun for you?
I have the nostalgy: 4 years ago in a race with friends: a car in front of me, can't wait to close in and have a great battle. Nowadays: a car in front of me, oh no I'm screwed up, I gotta change strategy, maybe let's try to pass noooo tire just went 2% in one single corner...
Maybe worth of another topic: noone ever talks about using some non F1 tracks. We keep using some of the modern f1 track which are basically 2 weeks of frustration. But there are some amazing track which are pure joy just to drive, and we still rather copy F1. At some of our tracks I just wanna quit because it's no joy at all. You know what would be joy? To use F1 tracks that were too dangerous in reality. They aren't too dangerous for us. Forget Bahrain, new Hocke, Melbourne, think about Old Spa and Nordschleife. USA also has some fantastic tracks like Road America that noone ever thinks about. I wouldn't be able to sleep for two weeks as I'd be so excited. Then here comes Bahrain, meh, I rather go for a walk than race there.
Btw I'd like to say a big thank you to all the admins that keep FSR running I hope the future gets sorted out and the league lives further. I could go to other league but you guys make FSR so nice that I rather complain about tracks here
I was driving for years in leagues, where was LC disabled almost every year. There were also drivers at the end of the pack, who struggled with pace, but still were really clean and were able to start without LC and without any problems related to it.Anyway, I don't know how there could have been that many incidents when there was no LC...
