engine stall

[mrk]

Hi, how do u properly start off in realism mod? I get some oversteer or engine stall sometimes and was wondering about a proper procedure.

You asking how to start the car manually?

[in memoriam of Sharky]

You have to use the clutch pedal like in a real manual shift car else the car will stall if you put it in "gears" without enough throttle. If you don't have clutch pedal you can try to push about 75%+ throttle so the car might not stall but than you have to deal with the possible oversteer in the first few sec until there is enough grip to start to accelerate.

hold down clutch press shift+i for ignition then s to start car (requires a clutch)

There is no proper ignition and engine start function in AC :(((
Like for example in Project Cars.

Huh? Well, I kind crashed 3 times on Spa a few min. ago and had to restart my engine every time Works fine. Before each race I push one button for ignition, another for engine start. U just need to set up your buttons, mate

What mode you played?
I am focusing on playing time attack as I am still learning different class car handling and tracks. Maybe in TA there is very dumbed down engine function as when I have gear on while pressing start race button then car stalls but as soon as I put off gear then engine is starting up on its own.

When I spin out out of a track on high gear and do not press clutch in the process then engine gets quiet but as soon as I put on neutral, engine starts on its own...

I have ignition and engine start button mapped.

So do we play other games versions or in career mode maybe there is such realism as stalling engine and ignition is mandatory to start the engine?

Guys, you need to enable these options in the realism menu.
The reason to do this instead of letting the game do automatically it's because you can do it much faster than the automatic procedure. You can save you some precious seconds during pit stops.

First of all, check what buttons are set to Start Engine and Ignition. I recommend you map it to your wheel.

So, to the procedure:

1) Put in Neutral.
2) Press Start. You will see the power switch turn green in the HUD.
3) Press and hold Ignition for like a second or less. You should hear your engine running.
4) Use the clutch and put 1st gear and slowly take your foot from the clutch.

That's it.

Oh wait...
I just realized something!

Why I am in AC Competizione forum? xD
I Own Asseto Corsa and I was mentioning it instead of ACC.
So maybe in ACC there is such realism in terms of car ignition but in AC there is not... WHY??
Developers dont give a damn about AC anymore it seems. What a shame!
