Neutral should be disabled when driving a car in manual mode(wheel)

[moofy76]

Hi

Neutral should be disabled when driving a car in manual mode(wheel). Other direct competitor games do it, it can’t be hard to disable neutral when you select the option to put the game on manual (no clutch).

Example, I drive with wheel and shifter most of the time on manual mode. Whenever I move through the gears the game will slip through neutral briefly, apart from this being silly and an ongoing oversight for a long time, it doesn’t affect the car most of the time. But on some cars it’s not good at all.

Where do I contact to request/leave feedback for this simple fix to be noted to be implemented in the future, at worst in the next game? It would be pretty much be a few lines of code.

Thanks.

I’ve been using wheels for nearly ten years and I don’t remember ever seeing neutral. You can leave your feedback here though: https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us

Have your been using your wheel in manual mode (no clutch) with a shifter though? It will always flick through neutral when going through gears, or even putting in neutral. Shouldn’t happen.

Looked at the link, don’t see where to leave feedback? Just FAQs of issues etc.

Same here. I drive manual 100% of time. No issues

I don’t have a shifter for my current wheel. I use both manual with and without clutch depending on the car. I had a both shifters for my Fanatec wheel, sequential and H gate. The gated shifter did not have a neutral position. Maybe I just never noticed.

You could try posting here: https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000095934 but since support for this game has ended I doubt anything will come of it.

How could you ever change gears with clutch if your shifter couldn’t register neutral though?

I don’t understand the problem honestly as, in a lot of cars in real life, for a brief moment of time you are in neutral. You can also probably negate this effect with deadzones, short throw shifters, software mapping, etc.

You can submit a ticket to them if you feel it’s an issue though, here’s a link, just follow the instructions:

If you drive without clutch in the settings, it should disable neutral and dry act ike a sequential shifter. The same how it works with the controller. You have probably used a controller in manual, imagine if it went through neutral briefly and the revs went into redline on that time. It’s fine in 95% of cars, in 5% it can cause engine damage. It’s also a bit weird.

The thing is, it should with just like the controller and other direct competitor games. Pretty much like a DSG.

When you say like in real life, you are taking about clutch. But if you are driving without clutch, there is no neutral (or shouldn’t be). It’s disabled in with controller, should be with shifter too. It makes the game a bit annoying to play with a shifter in manual (no clutch) mode and forces one to use the paddles, which don’t go through neutral as you would expect.

Thanks for the links. I’ll submit and I realise it probably won’t be fixed in this game. But hopefully in the next. It would literally be a few lines of code lol.

I use a wheel as well, so don’t worry, I do understand where you are coming from

If you want to use the clutch more like a sequential for cars that are built that way (that have a clutch just for starting) you can put some wheels in “autoclutch” mode. You simply bind the A button to clutch (which should be in controller presets) and you enable autoclutch mode and it’s just like a sequential shifter. Or you can just run manual mode.

Like I said though, you can probably eliminate the neutral issue with deadzones, mapping and a short throw shifter mod.
