Generic Traction Control Levels. 1 = Highest?

So, we know different cars come with a few traction control levels. Like the 458 Italia, for example. The TC system on that car has four different values you can choose. That being said, I was watching the latest video from Inside Sim Racing and they're saying that, in AC, It's the opposite of what one may think. In other words, 1 is the maximum level and 4 is the lowest one. After a quick Google search, I found this thread:

People are saying the same thing there too. Personally, I didn't know about it! Did you?

 

I knew about it, but it took me some time to figure out, and i thought it was backwards too.
I think it makes more sense for the road cars, in a road car the default is very safe TC, when you go up a driving mode you get less TC.

It makes less sense for race cars, but it was probably for the best that all cars follow the same logic rather than on this car "1" is super aggressive but on this other one it's super safe... Now THAT would be confusing!!!

 

Good to hear I'm not the only one who didn't figure it out straight away!

I think so too. It's definitely better to have the same logic applied everywhere.

 

Even though i found out about it, its so counter-intuitive, i sometimes second guess myself and have to double check to be sure

Wish for cars like the 458 they wouldn't name it numerically but like in the real car - Wet,sport, race etc. Also wich the display would work too, always stuck in race mode on the 458. I'm surprised that's something Kunos passed on tbh.

 

I had no idea this was the case until I stumbled upon this thread a few days ago, it's the same with ABS too. I've found I can pick my breaking points much better now in the GT3's.
I was wondering if anyone knew what the 0 to 100% in the brake balance setting actually meant; I'm assuming the 0 is all the way forward and 100 all to the rear, though I might be wrong :/

 

On pc it's the value of the front, so 100% means all at the front, 0% means all at the back.
I doubt it's switched around on console and I have never seen it differently elsewhere.

 

Doh! Really?
I'd prefer it to display F & R at the respective ends of the bar, 0 - 100% is an odd way of describing it.

 

The value always reffers to the percentage of the front brakes.

 

OMG that makes perfect sense. 4 seemed like nothing, I went looking for a fix for the car's (Italia S3) TC system and found this. TYVM
