Hey folks, I have driving aids enabled for disability reasons.
I'm in the mx5 - set the second clutch button, press the pedal... and nothing, it just skips into first gear with 0 revs as normal.

Can anyone please help me figure this out?

I've tried keyboard and g29 wheel buttons, no difference.

I'm using simagic p500's without a clutch too.

Thank you in advance!

Edit: Contacted support, they confirmed that this is the intention. Asked them to submit it as a bug fix as it renders anyone unable to use a clutch and need driving aids with a significant disadvantage at race start

I put iRacing off for months because I need auto gears (disability).

One post on here, and dozens of you told me how to contact support to have driving aids turned on. It worked!

You were all so kind and positive, especially how I wouldnt always be at the back just because of it. And more likely due to my bad driving lol.

Thank you all, it opened up an online sim game I always thought I'd be excluded from.

Oh, and I'm posting 1.5 seconds off #1 on a track in the mx5 already, so I'm keen to keep pushing!

For anyone wondering about auto gears, or iRacing support - they're amazing. So helpful and kind too.

See you on track.

Running AMS2, top times in trials, and getting confident after a few months so naturally considering iRacing.

But, due to having the genetics of a discombobulated plumbus, I can't shift gears without needing shares in ibuprofen.

So, are you blocked from auto gears, or would you perpetually be last?

Thanks in advance

I've rebound several times and find that a lot of times, nothing moves. Suddenly, it will.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I have a lot of experience with head tracking, but it was in msfs and dcs(years ago).

But I'm trying to line up a shot and find the wobble is just crazy.

I'm back at flying after a long break and understand it all moves in 6dof, the plane constantly moves in all angles too.

But man, trying to line something up is sooo difficult.

Any tips please?

Love a good flight sim, and desperate to play but honestly, how can this price be justified?

I am struggling to justify the spend. There's a lot of mixed reviews and honestly, it's double what I expected.

Is anyone having buyer's remorse?

Typically on race loading, not seeing it anywhere else.

Anyone else?

I recently upgraded pedals, and took a lot of advice from you all on trail braking.

I hopped in a new car, a track I love, and just meditated for 45 mins.

Turned it up for a few laps and bam.. #1!

There's only a small amount of players, but it's lmp2 and I've never tried that style of car before and still struggle with gt3.

I'm really proud of myself. I struggle with erhlers Danlos syndrome which means racing hurts, but is worth it.

Last year I was still on racing line, I'm still on automatic gears!

Thank you everyone for all the positivity, support, etc.

Upgraded from g29 pedals to p100 simagic this month.

Roughly an hour a day in dedicated practice.

From 250~ and now down to within 1s of the lead for a couple tracks.

I'm slowly slowly getting the modulation of over rotation in trail braking for GT4s.

Almeida Racing Academy on yt is a huge help.

Now I just need to sit down, and do slow consistent laps to lock in the memory.

Thanks everyone here for the huge support and question answering.

I'm learning trail braking, and I only have so much time available a day.. which means I'm still slow and it's a long haul.

I'm in AMS2. But I'm aware the reset button in iRacing can put me back on a corner right after a trial run to re adjust my technique.

Yes, this isn't accurate for every track, but it would give me a precise understanding of my immediate technique that I can run 100x a day. Instead of having to run laps.

Think it's worth it?

Ello, I come from g29, and just upgraded today.

There's several springs, but no matter what I can do - I can only manage a max of 4kg in the calibration - I'm also on an office chair.

So the questions are:

1. To make use of the load cell, should it be completely rock hard, with no movement in the pedal?
2. If it's meant to be rock hard, why use soft springs at all?
3. If I stick to soft and work up, will I even be activating the load cell at all?
4. Setting the springs soft, and pressing hard, moves the load cell bar - but it flickers more on soft springs, I guess this is because it's only got a smaller amount of digital read with less stiffness?

Sorry, I'm struggling. And having to make the leap to load cell is hard enough without dealing with weak legs and an office chair. I know I should upgrade to a rig, I just can't sadly

Thanks in advance!

I just tried turning in-game stability and abs off, hopped in a GT3 Gen2 Merc, left ABS and TC on 8... smashed the pedal... wheel lock.

Since when does a dab of 100% brake pressure cause wheel lock in a straight line, flat road, warm tires?

Is that normal?

Btw, yes.. I'm learning lol

Edit, yep.. needed AUTHENTIC setting, thank you!

Title says it all.

Just giving myself excuses at this point.

Also, my ankles are crying from use.

Simracing isn't for the weak.

Please stop my madness if I'm wrong but, am I gaslighting myself into thinking I can recover minor slips, feel the more on oversteer, and even recover from spins in LMU compared to AMS2?

In a day of LMU, I'm recovering spins. I can't do this in ams2.

Before I refund, please help me solve an issue on input while steering.

After going around 90 degrees on the wheel, I feel force feedback disengage, no resistance, and suddenly the on screen wheel starts flicking randomly back to center.

Any ideas?

Reinstalled Logitech software, rebooted, etc.

Works fine on ams2.

Tried all toggle switches and degrees of rotation in the settings too.

I thought I had it down, till I kept spinning on two long corners at Spielberg.

"Why do I keep losing the backend at high speed corner entry?!"

I adjusted bias, setup, trailbraked.. still not consistent.

I thought I was doing the "wheel and pedal on a string" method.

But I think I'm turning too far, while still on too much brake. Overloading the lateral grip available.

I'm learning to trail with a tiny, tiny amount of brake pressure, not half a pedal worth and in slowly getting it.

But man, how tf do you do this every race, every corner, while handling non abs ?! I tried it outside Gt3... Lockups, loss of backend, no trailbrake effect.

It feels like such a loooong road to learn.

I can't imagine doing this without abs in my g29 rig.

How do you folks do it?!

Weeks of practice, years of the same trial and error?

I've always been put off by the length of it.

But, seeing Max in the 24hr, and my new appreciation for some racing has made me take the plunge.

Any recommendations to get up to speed quickly?

Anyone else still seeing the AI zoom off into the distance as a solo or two pack? And then the rest group off with 3-7 seconds between each one.

Specifically f1, v8 (new Renault) series.

AI: 100, 5x mistakes, medium Aggression

Does it exist or could it be made, where the visor becomes dirtier the more laps you do? Kind of how the windscreens can.

Thanks!

I'm finding ways to hide heavy duty cabling behind far off walls, with the transformers also hidden, and then running long wires horizontally from one side to the other.

Anyone got some magic or unusual tips or builds that hide or handle them a better way?

Thanks!
