Are you using Auto Clutch at all? (The one-and-only aid permitted on the server?)

Yes, I have always used auto-clutch. I've have always been a paddle shifter and so have always let the car's computer (ie the sim) do the "clutching" for me. But your post has made me explore that situation. Up until now my clutch pedal as never even been mapped into the sim. So I activated the clutch and turned auto-clutch off. And yea verily, popping the clutch pedal in and out will get a slipping clutch to grab! Woohoo! BUT... with auto-clutch off, down shifts become a big problem. That is, it's up to me to do the rev matching! Arrgh! But tinkering a bit more I find that I can have my cake and eat it too! I can leave auto-clutch on to help the downshifting and still just pop the clutch pedal when I get slippage!

I know paddle shifting in every chassis is totally a gaming crutch but hey, I need all the help I can get. If I can ever achieve competitiveness using crutches I might consider going "realistic". But that's a big "if". You guys don't need to fear me... yet! (And oh yeah did map a deadzone into my throttle.)

I'm ready for a re-do at Zandvoort!
