DCT possable issues?

well not really issues but actions that I haven't come across and wanted to ask the community.

ive seen many 2011 use launch control and they have a flag appear and revs that go to around 4K, my car is a 2012 with DCT and when trying to activate launch control after following the correct procedure, when applying the brake and then the gas the revs go up slightly then falls back to idle RPM , no flag is ever visible. once I let go of the brake the RPM's climb till 4K then the clutch engages, seems to work but is different than what the manual and from what I've seen.

also sometimes when sitting at the stop light and I want to get on it and just nail the accelerator pedal the clutch and RPM's rev freely to redline (no engagement) as I release the pedal the revs fall and when the needle hits around 4k I hit the gas again and the clutch engages and im off, almost like launch control but without all the process.

I don't thing that however is normal.

what do you guys think?

thanks!
