Hi all, I play FM on XBox Series X with this setting : Thrustmaster TX 458 Italia Thrustmaster T3PA Thrustmaster TH8A I can’t shift gears smoothly, whether I’m upshifting or downshifting. The transmission always goes into neutral for a brief moment before engaging the gear, even though I’ve alre…

I can’t either. I’m on console and the M+C setting is completely useless in any car without a transmission/clutch upgrade. I’m sticking with manual for now. There’s no way to improve it without clutch/transmission upgrades.

They wanted to nerf “power shifting” with manual w/clutch. So now we get granny shifting that is completely useless at any sort of competitive level.

If this is true, then it makes this game almost unplayable. What is the point of having a clutch if you can’t shift when you want, im forever waiting for the gear to be accepted unless you shift extemely slowly. Also, in cars with DSG for example like the Golf R, gear changes in that are incredibl…

Yeah this seems mad to me, I’ve driven manuals all my life and can shift gear very quickly, the game seems to imply that manual gearboxes take a long time for the driver to find the gear which is mad as it’s a split-second movement, especially during a race!

The change to the clutch is super annoying. I don’t know why they felt the need to nerf it, it’s been that way since FM2 at least. AFAIK, no one was complaining about it, so why change it?

Exactly. This is getting lame. They screw back the graphic settings because a series S could not handle it. They screw back functions because the ones who don’t want to spent lot’s of money on a setup would not win. And the people who spend the money on all that gear are screwed. That’s the sad real…

This is a problem for me too. Since when does a Mclaren F1 have rev hang? In every gear? At WOT? :rofl:

Same for me, this part is infuriating. I hate to keep saying Horizon 5 is a better driving game (Horizon 4 had a better map) but it really is. How did they take so many years to give us this much of a worse product. I’ve also been driving manuals all my life and I just don’t understand how they d…

For those that dont know, this was their solution for “power shifting”… you need to depress accelerator, full press clutch, shift, fully depress clutch and then you can accelerate again, otherwise if you’re too fast it will stay in neutral for 1-2 seconds before shifting. This is an issue even on p…

I have the exact same problem on my Fanatec wheel and pedals. It’s really terrible in my experience. i was playing Dirt 2.0 before the lauch of FM8 and expected that Dirt’s approach to Manuals was the standard by now. In Dirt 2.0 it detects if the car is a Sequential or a H-pattern, which also enab…

I requested an update of the golf 8r manual from DSG. since the car is nerfed and the dsg accelerates much more apart from not losing time between changes
