Double Clutching - Do You Practice It?

[marcf]

@Restruct62 , you could try adjusting the clutch range and sensitivity in controller settings
I think I have set the 'clutch range' at 1/3 to 1/2, so you won't need to press the clutch the whole way to change gear

While you're adjusting settings, there is a little yellow bar with each control (steering, throttle, brake, clutch) that shows the effect while you move the pedal


Edit: the game does not simulate clutch brake, so only an issue if you're used to the clutch brake in real life

Omg, finally I have found the man who could solve this puzzle. So, double clutch is impossible because we found out one big bug in game, which is going from ETS 1.27. FULL EXPLAINATION BELOW.
Gearbox has input shaft and drive shaft. When you in neutral depress clutch and hold it, input shaft, disconnected from engine, should slow down, but IT MAINTAINS RPM WHICH WERE ACCURATELY BEFORE DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH! Example. You slow to 1000 rpm on 6th gear, clutch to neutral, tap gas to 1600, depress clutch, press 5 gear button and.... OOPS! No gearing, but you made everything ok. Because input shaft HOLDS RPM which were before depressing, 1550, but you need 1400. And if you continue hold clutch pedal and truck starts go downhill and raise speed to match with memorised 1550 - 5 gear Will ENGAGED DESPITE OF 600 RPM IDLE ON TACHO! If after that you release clutch, you will see those 1550 rpm on tachometer. So, if it is possible, we ask developers to fix it and make input shaft slows down, when gearbox in neutral and clutch is depressed.

@jdkelley93 , I’ve found that RPM timing is a lot better in my preferred time more for the game ... “warp 0.7” (without the quotes) in the game console. It is unfortunate that this cannot be done in a config file, and every time you reboot the game, the speed resets and you have to type the command again, but in my opinion, warp 0.7 gets the acceleration, deceleration, and rpms matches best to what I experience in real life trucks.

I hope this helps.

Hi, just wanted to know, how i can edit things like this in the console ? where is the console ? I saw someone say you can edit alot of thing in that and i don't know where it is or open it

@marmat4 Go to the config.cfg from ~Documents/American Truck Simulator folder and change the value of the following lines, from 0 to 1:
g_developer "1"
g_console "1"

@IonutL and @Fawls, Thanks for answering that post. Appreciated. I've been away from the forum for a couple weeks so just barely catching up on questions/answers/etc

I don’t, I run automatic as I don’t have a shifter
