| you really really wont, the amount of feedback (i.e. reactions to your actions) in real driving should totally override any habits you pick up playing games |

| You'll probably be running over people, crashing into buildings, and trying to escape the cops, so yeah, I'd say no bad habits. Last edit: 2009-06-04 10:54:58 |

| The toy standard transmission will do little to nothing to help you with learning to drive a stick IRL just so you know lol |

| you are putting way too much effort in to learning standard... its really not that hard- first time outside of driver's ed I drove manual. First day I was on big roads (and that car had very touchy clutch) |

Might help you get used to when you should use the clutch and shift, but it won't really be like using a real clutch.
It shouldn't hurt, but I don't think it would be that much help either. |

I wouldn't have expected a quality poster to be asking such silly questions. :X
It probably won't affect your real life driving skills, unless you are one of those crazy twelve year old kids who kill people after playing GTA or something. Or that guy that killed his parents because they took his Halo away. |

To clarify, my concern is that if I play actual simulations (read: not GTA or NFS), then the timing of shifting or something could be off when I drive a manual irl and I damage my car when I get it.
I knew it was a stretch but I wanted to make sure before I blow $300 for a racing wheel. |

it (the games themselves) teaches good habits too fwiw but i'm not nearly at all qualified (in terms of both manual tranny rl cars + racing sims) enough to give good advice. although, i do have gt5p and a racing wheel (some 150-200 dollar one from logitech or something), there is no clutch and the stick is dinky and stupid (and only has 2 directions, up(shift) and down(shift)). so as far as a "real driving" physiological experience it's way off.
but yes the most i can say is, if anything, if you're not a very technical driver, racing sims will teach you some certain, helpful things. nothing too crazy, but technical stuff like understanding weight distribution of cars/diffs between rwd and fwd, cornering and acceleration/brake timing so as to keep efficient speeds but minimize over/under steer, blah blah blahLast edit: 2009-06-04 11:56:17 |

hahha that's pretty funny
I misread that as "the driving lines in online racing and real driving (racing) has become dangerously blurred" |

Do you also have a 37 inch penis, 400 iq, and 38 hot girlfriends?
This is not good advice to be giving someone who has never driven a stick before. Most people will at least stall a few times etc when learning from scratch... don't make it sound like you are a moron if you can't drive it almost instantly. |

driving a standard is soooooooo much different than a video game. For 1, you cant feel your friction point in a video game. In a car, you need to practice finding your friction point with your clutch. This takes a few weeks before you feel really comfortable. A driving sim wont help you at all for this. For example, learning how to NOT stall your car by releasing your clutch and pressing your gas properly. Every car is different, so really there is no way to practice other than being in the car you bought. Now, stopping and going up steep hills is even more tricky, and no videogame will be able to mimic that.
Driving is super easy, so it's hard to make a videogame that mimics that, because if they did, then where would be the challenge in the game? You'd just be drivin around bein bored to shit and back lol. |
