A little help driving without traction and stability control

As i said, not dorifto, controlled powerslide. You don't need huge lock to lock inputs for that... maybe my non native english is not good at explaining it properly . Caman Ducky, why would I tell him to do anything hard for a basic exercise. Don't worry though, as I stated above I shall make another vid to satisfy your pleasure. This time with fraps and not shadowplay so can record the launcher as well before I set off to show my assists, which are always on factory factory off, as that's what I recommend everyone to use every single time because you can turn down TC and ABS as per your comfort zone as you get familiar with the car but SC always stays off.

EDIT - Just realized, maybe it's the track grip level that is the culprit here, Because I always drift on 86% grip level... That could be something to do with it. \o/

 

Oh man I took out the RUF AWD a week ago and originally thought that it sucked and had terrible braking and cornering.... Then I realized that the thing was just accelerating so fast that I was attempting cornering and 140MPH!! haha that thing is one hell of a ride, very fun! The yellow bird is very hard to drive I'll have to try that one again. Not going to have much time to play today. Leaving for a six day vacation and I'm actually kind of sad I won't get to play for that time. I've put 70 hours in the game in the last three weeks with a full time job and a girlfriend. I'd say I'm addicted! I'll probably take an extra day off work so I can have an entire day to play when I come back.

 

Heh, I barely dedicate any time to AC, just use it for the occasional 'ring lapping and still ended up logging in 700 odd hours with the most casual usage scenario. Time does fly quite easily as long as you are enjoying yourself I guess. Enjoy your vacation!

 

Everyone does that with the RUF RT12 Enjoy your vacation. A break from AC will make it that much more enjoyable when you get back. And when you get back, a massive update to the sim will have occurred. Big tire model updates

 

Is 1.5 being released soon????!!!!

 

I have already been released.

 

Do you identify yourself as the big 1.5 update?

Release the kraken!

 

One with the nature.

 

It's already been updated.

Some release notes highlights. Circuit updates are graphics improvements. Bold is what I thought is most noteworthy.

So I just got home from vacation a couple minutes ago. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD this new tire model is INCREDIBLE! Feels like a completely different game and right off the bat I'm understanding the cars need much better now. What's with the reverb though? Not sure if I'm liking it or not. Also, the Corvette C7 Stingray is a very fun car. I've never really liked Mustangs so that one is just meh to me. I'm also enjoying the graphical improvements and the new Black Cat map. About time we had a street/canyon map. Oh, and I saw a sign while driving on that map that says there is a Japanese car pack coming out May 18th. Now THAT is my cup of tea.

@Seria17hri11er as usual thank you for your awesome posts. I wish there was a way to give you gold (as in reddit gold).

 

Theres an audio app in the game now, i think you can tweak the reverb there.

 

I'm not seeing any options in that app for reverb. It literally sounds like I'm driving in a tunnel/cave, but they did such a good job with this update that I have no right to complain about it!

 

Thanks bud . You are very welcome.

It is very good isn't it? I've barely been able to drive it myself. Since it's came out, every time I sit down to drive, I get interrupted by my wonderful kiddos after about 10 minutes .

I too really like the Stingray. I'm working on repaints for it now. Mustang, it may grow on me. Japanese car pack? Yea! See my sig.

As for the reverb, quite a few people are feeling the same way. It will probably get tweaked soon enough

 

What's wrong with the reverb? I don't recall noticing any sound problems during my testing over the past couple of days.

 

By the way Ravage, try turning off "Enhanced Understeer Effect." See what it feels like without it in 1.5.

 

Also, I just learned I misunderstood "Dampening." I thought if you set dampening, that it would constantly damp the wheel, but that is incorrect.

Check out this thread:

http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/weird-and-unrealistic-ffb-behavior.31847/

 

To me, it's just way over done in some places. It's such a wet reverb and I don't think it's that realistic to hear it like that in the cockpit.

Thanks I'll test that out! I actually have been running 35% dampening for a while now because I need some weight on the wheel when stopped. 100% dampening is just crazy though. Way too much!

 

Well you can "laserscan" the reberb, that would be very cool

 

What do you mean by "laserscan"?

 

It's a scan using lasers, sharks are optional
