Normal clutch behavior?
Is there a way to make the clutch in Assetto Corsa work like a normal clutch? Currently if the car stalls I can just put it in gear (without the clutch) and set off with the gas (again, no clutch needed). Auto-clutch is off but it still basically auto-clutches anyways.

Is this normal behavior for this game? Is there any way to change this? I just want the clutch to work like it would in a normal car.

There is no Ignition system, so the cars don't stall.
If it is in neutral it is running.
If it is in gear it is running.(even if standing still)
If you rev a real car and bang it into gear with no clutch, it will go.
Some real cars have clutchless launch controll.
It's easier to simulate auto-clutch than it is to simulate actual engine stall. Make sense?

You can make a car stall in Assetto Corsa, it just starts again when you hit the gas. Not every car is okay with being shifted without a clutch and not every car has a clutch less launch. What I'm asking is pretty simple. Is there a way to make the clutch in-game behave somewhat realistically?

The Tachometer says 0rpm, but it is still running. No ignition system-no stall. I digress.

There is no Mod or .cfg tweak that will change the behavior of the clutch. I guess that's all you need to know. Use it like a normal clutch if you want. You can certainly do that. But then you would be simulating a simulation within a simulation. What would be the point- Right?
Disclaimer- I tried simulating normal clutch use early on(even simulated turning the key) and realized it was a waste of effort and looked ridiculous. Now I see the Ready Player One trailer and think- Hmm! https://youtu.be/Z-vGWwRF_Qc

No, there is no engine stall and restart in AC and no way to properly simulate such without the developers taking to task simulating all the cars in game properly- some cars in real life have anti-stall features, these need to be replicated as Kunos doesn't like `generic one-for-all features`.
