Hi, I've been absent for some time and noticed that I can now only drive for about 10 laps until I'm unable to shift. This KPL thing is the reason, the more the bar reds, the less I can shift. So it probably has something to do with the clutch ??? What is it and how can I prevent that it 'overheats' (setting ? driving style ??) thanks ...

Lift when you shift.

I'm guessing it's the German abbreviation for "Kupplung", so the clutch, yes. To fix it, do what NotAnIllusion said; lift the throttle while shifting to the next gear.

If you're using autoclutch also make sure
1) if you spin, get OFF the throttle
2) if you recover from a standstill (after spin, etc.) shift down to first gear before accelerating, and don't make the first gear too long in the setup

Not doing these things can burn out the clutch really bad.

ok, thanks. Now that you say it, I could probably have guessed that it's Kupplung.
Anyway, it works, but it stresses my plastic pedals extremely when I do that. It's an old DFP, the pedals have been repaired multiple times by me. Isn't there an option to automize that lift, or to disable that feature completely, like it was before ? If not I probably better use an older version.

thanks anyways.

You _may_ use auto shifting, but that's not recommended.

You could also settle to driving cars with ignition cut. (FOX, BF1, fo8?, all gtrs except the fzr iirc.)
