This really isn't everybody. Adults who learn to ride a bike as a kid and then spend 15 years not riding one as an adult, they forget how to ride. Ive seen full grown adults literally get on a bike and wobble and fall to the side going 2mph

[@IriaChannel]

I've forgotten how to ride a bike, swim and even to speak a language (I can only understand it when it's spoken). So.. I get what you're saying, but take it with a grain of salt. I think these things are just hard to forget.. but you can forget anything with enough time lol

[@skellingtonmusic170]

I would argue it varies by car. Example my truck and my car have 2 very different clutches. Ones soft and sensitive vs the other being more forgiving. Of course in terms of muscle memory you don't forget what to do but it is a unique experience jumping into new cars trying to learn bite points etc..

[@axscy9685]

as someone with a wheel. i would use it almost daily at the age of 16-17 around that time im allowed to take my drivers test. 100000000% asseto corsa contributed to my driving skill. it helped me reach a level i never thought i could. i literally practiced paralell parking on the simulator and practiced driving in traffic. i only got a point for wide turning but passed. now im 18 more advanced and can drift like crazy etc. so worth it, all my freinds have 0 driving capability after u play asseto so much. like i was trying to play this racing game on my freinds controller and he was backseat driving so much and told me to slow down blah blah, since i have experence on asseto this game seemed so easy and i was taking corners like a pro. i instantly beat his personal best lap time on nurenburg and it just goes to show how much asseto corsa can teach you.

The game simulator is great. I love playing car sims, when the time I need to drive a real manual car. One of my mentor can't believe its really my first time driving a car. Of course I stalled the car 1 or 2. So its easy for mo cause simulators help alot. Thenl only thing i practice then more is to guage my left and right and to center my car on my lane. The the most challenging is in the uphill; its really hard for a beginners. Especially when you merge traffic from uphill and immediate right turn . Congrats to her.

[@JohnShadowofficial]

The instructor matters a lot too. My instructor was fierce and constantly shouted at me so it affected the way I drove. I did pass on my 2nd try tho.

[@kannonfps]

I thought about buying a wheel and pedal sets to learn the basics of driving cuz everytime i go on the driver seat of a real car to practice my legs would shake like crazy and i would shit myself (not for real obviously) cause of the stress, the car not being mine, me not knowing what the hell im doing and all that shit. would it be a good thing to actually practice on a sim to be less stressed about the real thing or the mental barrier is something i need to break in a real car even if it mean potential damages to the gearbox and all that shit ? i think damages on a car that's not mine is what scares me the most actually ... a lot of people are stressing me out about the fact that i don't have a driver license at the age of 24 but like i said before i find it way too stressful atm. and if it a good idea what would be the ideal wheel + pedal + gearbox for about 500/600 euros total ??? i know there are cheap options like the G29 but from what i heard it's really not the best and most people wanted to switch pretty fast after they bought it. ive heard good thing about the t300 but at the same time apparently overheating is a big issue on thoses ... HELP other than that it's really cool to see a beginner being able to do it. if anyone ever experienced it and overcame that shity feeling feel free to leave how you did it, everything is good to take at this point ...

i wanted to learn how to drift so i bought a sim setup with no idea how to drive stick. Driving stick is not this crazy skill that people make it out to be. I feel like lesser skilled men and younger men really love to cling to this as like a skillful trait and thats sill. It is a fun experience and does make you feel more connected with the road tho.,

[@monicanixon5140]

AWESOME, AWESOME to do it this way. Great idea!!! Hey, maybe if the teacher got in the seat first and demoed the simulator so she could witness and sense the rhythm, and listen and watch him and then let her hop in and give it a go, it might click a little bit with that.

I learned in my bedroom with tons of yt videos. Then I grabbed my hammer to act as the shifter. Shoes to act as my pedals. This way i learned to drive manual in 1 hour. Only problem is you might shift into wrong gears. Example from second to third you might accidentally go into fifth. Fifth to fourth you might go into second on accident.
