That %&#@! Simulator!
Hey Everyone~
I am in CDL school right now and we have a simulator to play with. Working on shifting right now. Now, I have double clutched in the distant past when I drove a bus, so I really expected to do a lot better than I did on that simulator. I know that the sim is way different than the truck, BUT I WOULD HAVE AT LEAST LIKED TO HIT 1 GEAR! :x So really, how many of you REALLY use the clutch? |
Starting and stopping mainly. There are few times to slip the clutch, like you would in a 4 wheeler.
|
Other than to get moving Never
I couldn't shift with a clutch now if you paid me :lol: |
Amtrak's simulator
http://www.lady18wheels.com/cad/an_c...erated_car.gif Sorry Amtrak - I just couldn't resist. :lol: Other than from a dead stop, I use it once in a while just to make the slip a little easier. |
so how is it up there in the big HQ bldg
|
I also use the clutch if I make an error shifting and need to get it in gear ASAP, much like the post made above.
|
I love it Lady18! If you only knew me.
Well, I got right back up on that baby today and slid those gears slicker than...well, I made them all. Went back down even...and back up again! Same thing happend to me at the locomotive simulator...I was tearing trains up all over the countryside until I got the hang of the machine. Tomorrow, i am going to drive like a real trucker and leave the clutch at home. Hope the instructor doesn't see it. :D |
What transmission will you be driving tomorrow?
|
clutch isnt that the thing you only use to stop and start
|
I heard that the right pedal was good for stopping also! :shock:
