The only game that gets even close to your specifications, IMO, is GRID...but that's more of an arcade game to me than anything.
G25..manual tranny realistic?
Hi all
Question for people that has G25 + whatever driving game, and with a *real life* manual transmission car
![]()
I want to *learn* how to drive manual,( I currently drive an auto)
So I thought, I can get a crappy 2nd hand manual tranny car for ~500, drive it till I burn the clutch,then scrap it....or...get the ~250 G25, and play it on a game that has the best simulation of the manual transmission (Having engine stall, and such..)
So...is there any game that has the *closest simulation to the real transmission? Are they really comparable to the 'real thing' ? (excluding steering, braking, force feedback)
Cheers

I don't think there is a game that real. But the G25 is pretty much far away from a real car. I own both G25 and a Manual trans car, and driving simulations vs reality control wise, it's very different, especially when it comes to clutch control.

that makes no since you say get grid because "his specifications" he says he wants a sim, but then you say it's "more of an arcade game" so therefore not like a sim?
But, @ OP i've never played with the G25 but GRID is not a sim and just drive a friends car, it's not as hard as it may seem, if you're a decent driver you could easily learn in 20-30 minutes and then iron it out over time

Best way to learn is to find a friend that's willing to teach you. Other then that, best to buy an old junker with a killer clutch (meaning hard to manipulate) and start from there. The more difficult the clutch, the faster you learn. If you can find a Ford Escort Zx2 5speed, they have the most difficult clutches around. That was my starter for Manual |
