Sims that use a Clutch Pedal?

Hey, I've just finished making a clutch pedal add-on for my old TSW. Now all I need is a sim that uses a clutch ;-) What do you guys recommend? I've been out of the loop for a while now. (Nascar2 and TEN where my last sim experiences..) Thanks for any info. Mick

GPL of course. Some Call Me Tim

GPL and Nascar Heat both use the clutch, but in NH you don't need it that badly. -Stuart Becktell "Mick" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Hey, > I've just finished making a clutch pedal add-on for my old TSW.

Viper Racing can make use of it as far as I know -- Jah_Warrior86 Mick <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Hey, > I've just finished making a clutch pedal add-on for my old TSW.

That's realistic. It's been how many years since F1 cars used a pedal for the clutch? "mike" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:b9yE5.432369$[email hidden]...

I use the clutch pedal in GP3 for 2 things. Starts. rev it up and drop the clutch, and when I spin, pop the clutch and spin it around.... You don't have to use it for shifting, but it's still active for the other fun... heh.

Stupid. The question was basically in reference to which games support a clutch pedal, not necessarily a clutch. It's great the GP3 supports a manual clutch, but it would be more realistic if the clutch was implemented as a button on the wheel, not a pedal.

Actually, an analog paddle on the wheel would be more appropriate. Some wheels (Guillemot?) have switched gearchange paddles, and also analog gas and brake paddles if you don't want to use the foot pedals. Perhaps it would be possible to configure one as the clutch.

I have a Thrustmaster Sprint wheel and with some persuasion the analog paddles on the wheel can be assigned as a clutch. It's really awesome in GP3! -Gregor

> Stupid. The question was basically in reference to which games support a > clutch pedal, not necessarily a clutch. But GP3 supports a clutch whether it's on the floor or up your anus (provided it's connected). A clutch is a clutch, the PC doesn't know where it's located. > It's great the GP3 supports a > manual clutch, but it would be more realistic if the clutch wasimplemented > as a button on the wheel, not a pedal. Not at all, F1 cars use an analogue clutch paddle, so why not have an analogue paddle on your sim wheel, which, I think, would be highly realistic.

anyone use one on gpl, if so when do you use, is it analog and how easy to use ? Cheers Rich ps is there are a set of pedals available with a clutch that i can hook straight into a force -rs ?

It's digital. Can be assigned to an axis, but it's either ON or OFF. Other than starts, it's rather worthless. But the main problem with clutch pedals is that... I have yet to see a pedal setup that supports heel-toe shifting. I have the SRC wheel which has top hinged pedals, but the brake and gas pedals are not staggered. So if I can't toe-heel, then I might as well not use a clutch. "Rich" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Really? Bummer, I thought it was analog. Don McCorkle

Actually the clutch is analog in GPL, however it is no as progressive as you family car. Bare in mind GPL has a racing clutch coded and racing clutches are quick acting and strong. My friend has a Ford Sierra/Cosworth RS500 with a racing clutch in it and I found it difficult to drive around town due to the hard biting clutch. However getting off the mark at the light posed no problems. With my RRC pedal units the clutch in GPL is progressive to the point that I can gently let out the clutch under high RPM and the car slowly starts to move off while the engine takes the load. In practice however I just dump the clutch on the start grid. Nigel -- Redline Race Controls http://www.wave.co.nz/pages/lakewood/Redline2.htm Nigel of Lakewood Motorsports Hamilton New Zealand
