    It is like the clutch has a delay, which causes the engine to rev slightly after the clutch is released.

    Drove it directly after release, felt something strange while shifting, never came back to the bow.

    Yeah I don't think i've ever driven it for a complete lap.

    Something is odd about it when releasing the clutch, I really hate it because in a way it feels fake.

    I did not like the behaviour with H-Shift an clutch and only drove it with sequential shift since. But I have no idea how it should feel on a real X-Bow

    I haven't driven it in sequential, but there is a delay in shifting because it's originally an H shifter I assume, so I won't..

    It's strange that when you release the Xbow clutch. you get a rev, which is what makes it feel dumb.

    Either only few drive the X-Bow or there is a "not again" attitude caused by too many polls.

    My guess is the first, few drive the X-bow.

    True in my case, precisely because the clutch delay issue.
    I do drive the X-bow a lot in other sims though. In R3E...no... I regret having bought it.
    I can understand the delay when using paddles, so there is no advantage, but shifting fast with a H-shifter should not be "punished" imo...

    Is the KTM the only manual car that has this issue?

    Are there any other manuals which do not have this problem?

    As far as I experienced them, only the KTM seems to suffer...

    Not like the KTM but I have some problem with the Opel Omega. It's difficult to shift fast and clean. But this might just be me and it is not as obvious as with the KTM.
