Launch Control

[Trombepis]

This is probably the most necessary feature for the next update, seeing as 80% of cars in this game have it in real life, and it's absolutely necessary to get a sequential car off the line without wheelspin. Inb4 "use the clutch you wingus" there is no clutch pedal in a sequential car. Also, an option to disable downshift protection is absolutely critical. I'm reluctant to push my car's limits just because every time I do, half of my downshifts get vetoed for being a femtosecond too early, and I go wide into a wall.

To the best of my knowledge downshift protection can't be removed from the same cars that have it in real life. You simply need more seat time to learn how to drive the car within its limits.

"there is no clutch pedal in a sequential car" Me: Are you serious???
Aniway for the launch control, i would like to see it implemented..
For the downshift protection, i agree with Nakadai, you have to learn to drive correctly, like in real life and not overdriving..its not a grid game(-;

i would like to see launch control but for the amount of work kunos would need to put in to get such a small feature into the game might not be worth their time
for the downshift protection i think you should get used to the game first learn how to dproperly drive the cars and if anything downshift protection will make you slower not faster and go into a wall lol you cant really complain about this anyway as you only have 50 hours on the game , just play it more and get used to it better ;)

The down shift protection was added because people used to abuse downshifts in an unrealistic manner to improve braking performance - especially on servers with damage turned off.

Servers would be able to turn it on if it was an option rather than a requirement, I wanna be able to damage my engine if damage is turned on. I'd rather learn the hard way and money shift it than have the car not shift when I tell it to. Not sure how many of you stare at the gear selection display when breaking, but I'm guessing not many. It takes me out of the immersion when I have to all the sudden figure out how many more times I have to hit my shift lever WHILE adjusting my brake percentage and steering

A 3 position slider like ABS with OFF, FACTORY, and ON would do the trick for me.

Sorry but I do not think anyone looks the gears display while braking and downshifting..you have to understand the right time for downshifting listening to engine noise and depending on the distance from the curve, it must be a very "instinctive" thing, you have to let each gear do its "job" helping you to brake the car ... you can not just downshifts as fast as possible! It does not work that way in reality .. I've never had any problems.

I understand that it requires skill to downshift correctly, that's not my point. If steering gamma wasn't a setting in the game and someone wanted it, would you be saying "well, you should probably learn to steer correctly"?

The "problem" with that analoque is that steering gamma is there to assist people who don't have the capability in their hardware to "steer correctly" meaning they have less rotation in their wheel than the car has. Whereas "gear down/up" is the same binary function for everyone, which is "press button" or "pull flappy paddle".

*edit: don't think i'm saying this out of spite. i often "miss" downshifts myself due to the protection. but that's MY fault, not the game's. is it annoying? yes. but i wouldn't call upon the devs to "fix" something that's essentially just MY fault.
