dual core & slow autoclutch

[joevenzon]

The amount of time to shift gears is dependent on a few things. One is the time after you press the shift and disengage clutch button (disengaging the clutch happens automatically in 0.2 seconds) and the engage clutch button. These are usually defined as the down and up motions of the same button. Another factor is this line in the car's definiton file (G4.car):

Code:

shift-delay=0.10

This is the amount of time it takes to move the shift knob around. Also important is the amount of time over which the clutch is automatically let out. This is currently defined at 1.0 seconds if you're in 1st and 0.2 seconds in any other gear. All of the clutch settings in the car's definition file also affect how quickly torque is transferred and the maximum amount of torque that the clutch will transfer without slipping. Finally, if you have the autoclutch on, that will override the clutch setting when your revs are below about 2000.

If you use an analog clutch, these should all become non-issues as I believe it would override any automatic clutch stuff.

I'd encourage you to tweak with these settings in G4.car as they are most likely incorrect:

Code:

sliding = 0.27
radius = 0.05
area = 0.12354
max-pressure = 4.0e5

and see if you can't get the response you'd expect.
