Unlike real life, when I press down the clutch, the car does not slow down. I wonder are there any ways to fix this? or am I setting something wrong? Thank you in advance.

The car begins to "coast" when the clutch is pressed; it acts as if the gear is in neutral.

Wind resistance/friction in CCD is quite low, therefore the car does not slow down a lot.
Also, in real life the car doesn't really slow down when you press the clutch, it is better to downshift.

Thanks for your reply. But the Toyota van that I am using for my driving lessons can be slowed down by pressing down the clutch.

Are you sure this isn't the brake pedal? They are very easily confused.

In all seriousness, Spoutnik is right. In a real car, the clutch shouldn't have a huge effect on the speed of the moving vehicle.

Yea,I am pretty sure about it. I am sorry that I didn't specify the situation that I was asking about. When I only use clutch control to move the car from still, I can release the clutch to friction point to move the car and subsequently press down the clutch to slow it down. Alternatively, I can also hold the clutch just above the friction point and then use the brake to adjust the speed of the car.

The problem about steering wheels in general for PC is that I don't think there is a single set of Force Feedback pedals. If this was possible, the biting point would be something that we could simulate. It's a shame as the biting point is pretty important in manual transmissions.

Generally a car will remain at the same speed when the clutch is pressed. The exceptions being when you are on a hill up/down where you would slow down/speed up respectively. If you're moving very slowly then putting the clutch back in from bite will remove the acceleration. If you want to stop put the clutch in and press the brake.
