Hard to catch slide without stability control

Nordschleife, optimum track for the most part, AC street cars, street tires or what it has, AC stock settings 21 c.

 

I've noticed that since 1.3 cold tires are much more unforgiving and the vast majority of my WTF moments happen in the first few turns after heading out with cold tires. Other than that I am sliding the cars everywhere on the Ring with almost no issues that aren't the fault of my own skill set limits.

Check out some of my vids ( https://www.youtube.com/user/NotRickyBobby ) at the Ring and see if it looks like the cars are behaving the same for me as they do for you.

 

You could use a camera, this would also allow us to see if you have input lag (the wheel should be visible of course)

 

@vegaguy 5555 is your virtual wheel tightly in sync with the real one? Because if you have lag for whatever reason the cars get unstable tendencies. It's very important to have no visible control delay. (For example just like a tankslapper happens in real life because steering wheel lags behind what car is doing, same can happen in game and often lag can be much greater making even simple corners a handful to control.)

edit: If you have virtual wheel disabled the idea of input lag still applies so turn it on for a while to check it.

 

You are probably a better driver but it looked like there was more response from your steering.
I will make a video with a camera so you can see my hands and wheel a little later. Thank you everyone.
Oh. I did try lowering the effects got about 75 frames and I do notice an improvement thanks.

 

Here is a quick vid I made using the BMW 1M with street tires at Nords. I can't drift, nor drive insanely fast, I am pretty much right in the middle of 'normal man' territory as far as driving skill. I simply made the vid to show how the car handles when I throw it around. (just noticed that I should have had the pedal app open, sorry about that)


Please record a video making the same run and we will have something to compare.

 

I will check into it your right.

 

75fps on Dual 980's ? Really ? thats not right AT all. Even with 24+ AI you should have Far more FPS.

 

Are you basing this off of real life or what you expect a "sim" to be like? Because I think it should be realistic, not some arbitrary level of difficulty to gamify and challenge players. These are supposed to simulate real life, not be a challenging game.

 

Oh yeah. My system is definitely not working that good. Are you using any stability control? I would need about 40% to get that kind of steering response.

 

Bear in mind that AC does have some bugs with the tires, and while I heavily disagree that sliding a car should be harder to be realistic, there is still some unrealistic behavior causing more grip, but also unnatural behavior that may put some people off. In the end, I think catching slides will be easier, but on the limit driving will also require a bit more care.

For me, there's not a huge problem, in any car. So it could be setup, or it could just be the driver. Sims are quite limiting in feedback and especially drifting feels quite intense in sims, due to the inability to look around without the proper setup, no g-force feeling etc. So it might be a case of getting used to it. When you do, it's quite natural and you don't even notice the bugs and strange behavior.

 

Totally agree with that.

 

That could be.

 

That's what I thought. I'm sure it's my bad computer skills.

 

No stability control, no TCS, only change from default set-up was choosing street tires. (I'm also using no auto clutch or auto blip; I heel and toe with H-pattern but that shouldn't matter at all for what we are looking for)

 

Do you do any real track racing? Not judging just asking.

 

I think you should listen to Michael.

 

I've raced 24 hours of lemons with friends, but no real racing. I mainly do track days/time attack and I used to own a 125cc rotax kart. I do about 15 track days a year. Started in an E92 M3 and now I drive a Honda S2000. My main reason for Assetto Corsa is to help improve my driving in real life and it has been a great tool. I keep all my driving videos here: http://www.youtube.com/user/radiantm3/videos

 

Lemons? 24 hours of citrus fruit?

 

That's really cool. Thank you for your help. I can't wait to get everything working right.
I want to do some real race track laps before I die.
