FWD or RWD info in Car Spec ??

I had read some articles talking about toe in-out are setup differently for front & rear tyre depend if the car is FWD or RWD & is this also apply in AC ?? If yes then is it possible to show either the car is FWD or RWD in the car spec ?? Or already there somewhere but i miss it ??



Thanks for the concern

 

After driving the car you should be able to tell which layout the car is.

But since your a boy of time saving i guess they could put the layout of the car in the spec sheet.

The m3 being FR, the 458 being MR, the 500 being FF..

 

I already know the drivetrain layouts of all the current cars but I think it can be useful info when more cars are added.

I also suggest the addition of engine configuration and displacement info as well.

 

All relevant data should be in the car spec's, I'm in 100% agreement.

 

Would be a nice feature, for people who arent well informed about (the included) cars, even it isnt as necessary as in Forza/GT where are 500+ cars with many 4WD/FWD and many engine layouts. Many people dont even know, what a front mid-engine is.

A small icon with a car-sillouete, where the position of the engine and the WD are coloured could be useful.

 

Front mid engine! lol A bit of an oxy***** there me thinks.

P.S. Not saying you are wrong, just the words look silly together.

 

Im no expert regarding cars. Looking at Wiki I just saw how many cars actually exist:

FMR layout – Front Mid-engine / Rear-wheel drive


Front mid-engine position / Rear-wheel drive
These cars are RWD cars with engine placed between driver and front axle. However, due to the difference being fairly minor, these cars are referred to as FR cars instead.

• Aston Martin Vanquish, DB9, One-77 and GT2
• Bentley Continental GT
• Z4 (I4) and Z8
• Chevrolet Corvette (second through sixth generations)
• Dodge/SRT Viper
• Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and 612 Scaglietti
• Honda S2000
• Infiniti G, EX, M and FX
• Lexus LFA
• Maserati Quattroporte (Quattroporte V) and GranTurismo
• Mazda RX-7, MX-5 and RX-8
• SLR McLaren and SLS AMG
• Nissan 350Z and 370Z
• Suzuki Cappuccino
• Volvo B10M
• Previa, 2000GT and 86
• Most pre WWII front engine-RWD cars.

FM4 layout – Front Mid-engine / Four-wheel drive
This layout, similar to above FMR layout, with engine between driver and behind front axle, adds front wheel drive to become a four-wheel drive.

• Ferrari FF
• Hummer H1
• Nissan GT-R
• Toyota Previa All-Trac variant
• Toyota Van 4WD variant (first generation)

+Mercedes SLS
Simwise its interesting, cause it overal influence how the car acts/handles.

 

Am sorry Sir but I must say some of you really has a good way to encourage any sim newbies to continue explore & enjoy the game, i dont know your age but let me tell you this i only 16 so how the hell you expect someone like me to do something like "After driving the car you should be able to tell which layout the car is" ?? You expect someone like me to know & understand all these thing just because you drive or even race for many years ?? WTF ??

I dont like to sound rude but some peoples here always see thing from their point of view only, i glad i dont have a father like you, my father always being understanding and act reasonably. By the way why not just make the car spec like the picture below since you already know all those car very well ??



One more thing, i dont need your & some other people (you know who) answer for all my future question anymore, pls dont ever waste your time again with this lazy & stupid arcade player, there is an ignore function in this forum so use it. And yes I AM SERIOUS !!!!!

 

If that is not a personal insult i don't know what is and i meant driving them in the game not in real life..

 

Lazy I can understand your frustration, but simply try to filter out persons, where respect and the potential of a useful discussion isnt given.

No offense, but its exausting to read those reads, where those sim-experts appear and say whats wrong and right, then simply except other peoples opinions and them and the others try to "discuss".
As soon as I read about Robolin, Rui, ChrisR or Dyingscotsman, I know, that there is a potential of strong disagreement.
Others have similiar point of views or are HC-Racers, but tolerant about other kinds gamers. I would concentrate on them.

BTW: There is an ignore-function. Can be healthy and timesaving.

 

To be fair, his question was answered by xaotik with something I (and I'm sure quite a few others) didn't know about, search !filter.

 

Thanks for that. By the way I not really mean to find some specific car, i dont have the taste saying especially love this car or that car, to me all the car is the same so i just pick one and play. But since toe setup is different depend on FWD or RWD so i just wish that info will be in the car spec sooner or later so i dont need to go google or search in game to check if a BMW Z4 E89 is FWD or RWD

After all thats what car spec are for, right ??

 

I could add quite a few more to your list....

 

lazybug, in terms of how toe works on a car, between FWD and RWD it works the same, but they are setup differently depending what you want the car to do..

again, if you would of read my post rather than instantly dismissing it i told you how to setup toe between fwd and rwd.

 

Yeah thanks for the advise, from now on i will ignore them completely and even try to avoid them in MP but i wonder if they use the same name. By the way to me Dyingscotsman consider ok, he still has my respect, to me he much more steady & reasonable than those that you mention above

Of course i do meet some nice & understanding & helpful people here or in RaceDepartment, not all are that bad. Example you

By the way that FR / FF / FMR thing are just too complicated for me atm, you know i having a hard time right now learning all those setup theory from google for playing this game, i spend lot more time on reading & testing the setup than actually playing the game

 

Yeah got it.

 

Yeah thanks for the tips but then its really only one FWD in the game ?? Why so ?? FWD is bad or something ??
