Stability Control as of Vers. 1.4+

I said in AC NOT IRL.

 

The way you worded it was confusing. The only reason it's not modeled is because it's too much of a pain to make I guess. And pretty pointless.

 

That's the finest management talk...high system level at best Even if what you want is easy to grasp doesn't mean what you need to achieve it is simple. It's very complicated and Kunos can only skip the hardware part of a system (different systems) where software is at least equally important.

But I wasn't making fun of you - I know you know your sh*t. It just made me laugh in a positive way and I just had to answer that because I get similar phrasings at work on a regular base

On topic: It's best to test ACs SC for yourself and report back - most here drive without it I guess so there's an expert position vacant.
It certainly does evaluate the "driver wish" vs. the current state of the vehicle and adjust the throttle and brake accordingly. Interesting question would be if it only uses the systems the car actually has or, say, just uses fake torque vectoring for each car.
Personally, I drive without it on the pad but found small amounts (like 10 % or so) to be very helpful when driving on the edge with the pad. Never felt like it took away the nature of the car too much at those settings, either.

 

Yeah, it was a very rough overview, agree to that. And as I said, really modeling and essentially calibrating it for every car in the game is a whole lot more complicated. Wouldn´t want (and to be fair, couldn´t) to explain the several thousand pages of Bosch function documentation for ESP here...

I´ll try the AC ESC some time, just to see how it reacts.

A worthy point is, that even with a lot of cars where you can "disable" the ESC by user input, it still reacts if the instability gets too high, it just gives you a little more room for playing. This works in AC beautifully in regard to the TC of the M4 for example, level 1 catches most things and level 2 gives you a certain permitted angle before it cuts the engine torque. Don´t know if TC fully off is even an option with the actual car.

And there are loads of cars where you can´t disable it at all by means of normal user input. To simulate these cars, you´d have to drive with ESC on at some level, so I get why some are interested in it.

 

It was very simply explained. Not sure how you got confused. What part of my post was worded too confusing for you?

 

"ESC = electronic stability control? No cars in AC have that as a feature....."

Could have been worded better. But whatever who cares.

 

Me, I care, when your replying to my posts arguing with me, and I need to come back and explain myself.

Did you read the rest of my post? I'm sure that would have clarified the 'confusing wording' for you....

"Stability control in the game is as Tberg said, more for pad/kb users, it's an added aid of the game, not the individual cars."

 

*sigh*

 

*fart*

 

Stability Control? That thing used by youtubers to make awesome drifts in any car.
