The clutch is all about feeling the difference between the spring pressure and the friction.

I think this here is what gets me. With the cheap sim pedals, you can't feel anything, and have to go entirely by visuals, like watching the tachometer for a sudden spike. By the time you can react, you're already stalled half the time. I totally agree you need that visceral feedback from the machine to really use it with any degree of finesse.

I've driven a fair bit of heavy machinery in my time, and never had an issue working the clutch, but those simulators are a different beast altogether - at least at my price point. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford some realism, haha.
