Just bought Rfactor 2 and have some questions

I can't do a jump start. I can normally shift to the 1st gear and doing full throttle until lights go green. Can't do a jump start

 

Jump start...you start the race to quick...before red lights go out to the green. I simply can't do this.

 

Wow that's odd. Hmm.
Do you have any driving aids turned on?

 

You are probably running autoshift/autoclutch.

 

Autoclutch yes. So the only way for doing a jump start is disabling autoclutch? Which means it's not possible for a gamepad user or for those who don't have a clutch pedal?

 

Hmmm...in theory if you have manual shift and auto clutch you should be able to start before the green, at the opposite - if you have auto shift, the game will manage proper shifting for you and won't let you go before the green.

I just tried a random car (Civic) and I just got a penalty for that jump start.....so it looks it's working as expected.

 

I only have autoclutch enabled. Therefore I still can't do a jump start. Tried with all cars and can't do it. Does it matter which plugins you have enabled?

 

Why ?

When I had a Black Momo I used a wheel button for a clutch for years, worked perfectly ? , used to blow off 1/2 the drivers used clutches.

Use a gamepad button ? Easy ?

Having a clutch button does not mean you must use it for shifting. lol ?

That would be a unfair disadvantage ( syncing 2 buttons ) on top of what you are doing



Note: If you drive Cars like Howston require a clutch ......... disable the clutch button.

Easy ?

 

Well if I have to use a button for the clutch this means autoclutch is not working as intended or as expected. This means I have a clear advantage over everyone because I simply can't do a jump start and will most certainly be the best at the starting grid ^^ This can be clearly marked as "cheating" but if autoclutch is not working well it needs an attention...

 

Again, clutch and auto-clutch are doing what they are supposed to do; jump start it's also working. This means there's something on your side. Problem is I can't think anything to help you because I never heard about a similar problem.

 

How can that be on my side? If I have autoclutch enabled and everything else disabled than what else can I do? I can try by disabling autoclutch and try to do a jump start. If even that doesn't work than we have a problem.

 

But use a compromise.

Use the button to start races , pit in and stopping on track


Use no clutch for gears

Surely that is better then no clutch at all.

Even a button will give more sense of wheel spin and adjusting throttle level at starts, particularly driving older cars.

The other advantage of even a button clutch on track is you can dip it and not stall after a spin, people leaves huge time restarting cars.

You can replicate that with a neutral button though that will put you back to first gear.

If you do a 360 and dip the clutch button you can regain control, no nuetral

 

Will do it. But still if this is not working without a button this means it has a bug...

 

Show us a video please...
It is clearly possible to start before the start....
With and without autoclutch

 

Yes

What I am meaning you will find more feel to take offs etc.
Wheel spin too hard off start line you can still dip the clutch.

Clutch button can also help you in spins, a lot of people lose heaps of time restarting the car after a spin.

.and most of them have proper clutches........ but they never dipped it or hit the neutral button fast enough .... !


You can also set a neutral button for that but imho a button clutch is better as you can dip it and change gears while you are spinning.

Using the neutral button in a spin obviously you hit neutral p then the car will lose grip and spin differently then you have to grab the right gear for the given speed from Neutral.
To do that you really need a clutch to ease it into whatever gear you select.

So that is too hard for a gamepad imho harder then pedals.

Trust me use the clutch button correct for: pit out, in, race starts, stopping on track and spinning.
It will become 2nd nature until you get pedals.

Do alot of burnouts for testing too and get engine revs to match the button.

 

Durge, you are just confusing people!!!

This guy is saying he cannot jump start. What you are saying it's totally useless to trace the problem. Please....

 

Will do in a few minutes...

 

Good, thanks.

Also, please, may you try moving/parking your actual player.JSON in a different place so the game will create a fresh one?

After that just deactivate all aids and test.

Just to test on a virgin base.

 

Totally useless info to anyone reading uses a gamepad................right.

Sorry, I did not realize all threads stuck to one single topic

frak this I done



What you got your tits in a tangle cause I think AMS looks better then no HDR rF2 . lol

 

Set a Clutch button and Neutral button.

USE Auto Gears , YOU CAN STILL USE MANUAL GEARS........ or NOT
USE Auto Clutch, YOU CAN STILL USE A CLUTCH ................or NOT

( like you said it is bugged so why not use it )



TRUST ME
Try it exactly my way these guys have never even used gamepads or 2 pedals in rF2.

I did for 2 years

lol
