hello, i am new here.

I just wanted to ask a few questions.

1. Is it possible to stall your car?
2. Is there a manual gear system where you have to use a clutch to changegears?

the reason i ask is i am looking for adriving sim not a racing game. i also heard gt ledgends was good.

1. Is it possible to stall your car?
No, lfs has an automatic clutch system, which is used for people driving automatic and sequential gear changes. This automatic clutch, even when turned off, will stop the car from stalling. It is possible to bog your engine down but not to stall. I don't think it has ever officially been said that stalling will be added but it would be nice.

2. Is there a manual gear system where you have to use a clutch to changegears?
There is a choice between, automatic, sequential and H box shifter. It all depends on the equipment you have. I'll give an example, i used to own a dfp, which had sequential paddles and a sequential stick shifter which mean i had to use sequential mode. Now i own a G25 so i can have the option of paddles, stick sequential or proper H gate shifting. So with the sequential i use automatic clutch but for H gate shifting the clutch is needed.

Driving game? You're probably better off with tdu. Although plenty of people enjoy citydriving in lfs.
