Having lots of fun racing this car in the league I'm in, but I have two questions concerning the car: - I noticed on some pictures there is a lever on the right side of the cockpit (on the 2010 model, probably also in the 2014 one) and I presume this is a sort of hand operated 'parking' brake like in some other cars (for positioning on the grid for example, DTM has it as well) Is this something we can use on our virtual car as well? - In a technical manual of the car, I've read that you'll have to use the 'gear' button on the wheel to be able to select first gear as a safety precaution. Are these things, which apply to many more cars than just this one, possible right now and if so, how?
AHA! The lever is an emergency clutch release for the marshals As that one is solved for this car, the gear shifting procedures question still stands
Still interested in hearing opinions on gear shifting (mostly to do with neutral) procedures. What also sometimes happens in race cars is that the use of 1st gear is limited to a certain km/h. This does change the way you (can) drive the car in some corners, it would really be awesome if this was built in to, as it is part of how you drive the car in favor of realism. Same with a shift delay so you can't shift down faster than the speed of sound like some simracers tend to do, simply because they can get away with it.. Also some minor issue maybe, having driven this car for quite a bit now, it does feel the car is bottoming out on bumps are kerbs pretty quickly, even when adding ride height. Could it be the collision hulls are simply placed too low in terms of position with the actual cars' undertray? Love it to bits, but even more with some adjustments to make it more realistic ^^
Take a good armchair, and relax, the problem was reported less than a year ago (may of last year). http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/19918-2014-Renault-F3-5?p=308370&viewfull=1#post308370
