I feel the C7 Corvette handles nothing like the actual car!

It plows like hell.

Disclaimer: Power oversteer doesn't count as a balance characteristic.

 

I think the question is: If it was your Game/Simulator, would you change it because of the kind of feedback that you have given? I don't think I would because in most cases facts and data are more helpfull than the feel of an individual.

 

From wiki:

A bunch of electronic assists that keep the car in check. In my opinion it's quite self-explanatory why it feels different in-game..

 

Yes, I really think so.
The AC cars I've driven IRL are pretty spot on to me. But there is always a disconnect between RL and a sim. Your brain makes leaps of faith, suspends a little disbelief. However, it's convincing enough that going from my sim to a real trackday, I'm pretty much on autopilot. Entering understeer, trail-braking, lift-throttle steering, all seem in line with reality.

Hey, the first time I drove the C7 in AC, I was extremely impressed (and I'm a lifetime "Ford guy"). Assuming it handles they way it does on my AC setup, it is on my short-list if I ever win the Powerball. ( and @William Levesque , I don't feer[sic] understeer. )

 

Keep cool man, I don't take it as an argument but you ; I did not troll you and your point is completely irrelevant because you made that turn speed, 30 mph, 45 mph, etc THE point. And you admitted that you had opened a thread with both wrong evidences, and others explained to you that it's useless (at the very least, to stay polite) to open a thread saying : "Never the game should be like that" without any consistency, no video, no data, no hardware/settings data, no serious input.
Then you can say what you want but, in the whole thread you actually just demonstrated that you were typing faster than you think.
For remember : "the handling of this car is absolutely horrid in game! I have no idea where AC got their physics from when it comes to this car but it's way off. Taking turn 1 at spa at 30 mph the car gets side ways and spins out." ... "That's a 45+ mph turn easy." ... "Here is a C7 Z06 turning into that corner at 103 km/h (60ish mph)" ... etc so yes I say that I better trust AC devs than you. Sorry to say.

 

Sorry @WarFalcon76 but I could not resist it to check at La Source.

Corvette C7, street tyres, no blankets, 93% grip, no TC @ Spa,
I don't notice a heavy and hard turning, quite the opposite, very light and nimble, and the handling is pretty good.
Nice car by the way and congrats for owning own.

 

Maybe the C7 in Assetto Corsa don't feel like a real car because you don't drive a real car?

 

Be careful, he might buy a G meter & a GoPro to prove otherwise.

 

Yes it does, that's why I put max negative camber in the front.
And I tend to throw it into the corner a bit.

 

What?

I simply suggest you practice more, run loads more laps, then report back again with your thoughts.

It's always interesting to hear a real vs virtual car comparison but not after such little time.

 

@WarFalcon76
i recommend you to go into steam, right click assetto corsa > properties > local files > verify integrity of game cache. Maybe something is corrupted in your install.

 

Just drove the C7 at Okayama, 95% grip, car felt quite stable at turn in. I have over 1000 hrs in AC, perhaps I'm just used how it handles, although I'm certainly not a particularly gifted driver.

 

What bites a lot is that most street cars have default tire pressure at factory spec, which after some heating pushes them into red with ill traction. Drop like 3 or 4 psi on C7 and then 2 more on front to help with understeer, add some more negative camber while there. And as already suggested, do more laps. Do not push on the first one while tires are cold. It's a nice car and drives very well.
Thanks to Kunos for making such nice and diverse content.

 

Andrew, how the heck do you get the tires into red, I can't get past green.

Mind you I only race for 5 laps, probably has something to do with it.

 

pressure, not temp. small colored numbers in corners.

 

If it can be fixed relatively easy why it is not fixed?

 

I drove the C7 on the Nordschleife earlier today, and, i can't really say that it handles like a pig. Of course, due to the weight of the engine, it feels a bit sluggish, but, nowhere as bad as to the point of undriveability, or very hard to handle. Just... like one of those US V8 flagships, but, still quite agile for that.

 

You see what you've done, one of the least used cars in AC and now everyone wants to try one.

 

I wonder why. This is THE car for the wannabe pimp. Just kidding.

 

Thanks, I'll check that out.
