Stability control, drifting, snapback/tankslapping

Hi all,
I wanted to start a small discussion on Stability control because currently I dont think its as good as it should be. However, maybe i am misunderstanding. Also, please dont take the as a criticism too much. I love Assetto Corsa and really want to help improve the sim .

I was doing a bit of drifting the other day (bmw e92 with drift setup and 35% stability control). On the exit of the corner with the throttle at 90% revs; the car snapped back on me, shoving me into the wall. This is unrealistic of a real car drifting (source: i drift). With the throttle at 90% you aren't going to be hitting the limiter (which *can* cause the wheels to regrip) and you aren't going to regrip naturally as you are holding the revs at 90%, they aren't moving slow enough to regrip just yet.

So, i did some testing, i lowered the stability control to 0%. At this point i found the car extremely hard to control. It was like it was on ice, no grip while drifting, it just wanted to spin. I couldn't hold a drift well enough to test the snapping issue.

I finally did one more test, at 5% i found the car was still very slippery (slightly more grip than 0%) and the snap back / tank slapping issues were almost gone.

My concern is, why do i lose so much grip when stability control is on 0%? Surely, stability control would be doing more with adjusting the weight than the traction. Maybe its the weight of the BMW causing the traction issue, i dont know.

To sum up, with stability control on low, the car has unrealistic tank slapping / snapback issues and with it off the car feels like it has very little grip.

 

I'm playing on 0% stability control and i have no issues drifting. I did have problem with the FFB so i lowered it to 90% and it works like a charm.
