The tyre version 5 thread

Perhaps GM is referring to the progressive increase in resistance in FFB as one approaches the threshold of Grip-loss. GSCE does this very effectively but, I can't say that I found it present in AC, at least not to the extent that it's in GSCE.

@GamerMuscle, have you tried altering the controller.ini file? I believe there is a line for the "understeer enhancement" feature in there.

 

Maybe I'm a bit off, but to me SCE's lacks in thermes of FFB! I never was able to judge grip levels at all in this sim. Going 360 was a common pita, avoided this sim for that.
To me, AC does it in a more common way. Much more easier to getting used to imo.

 

Not sure. When I get understeer in my own car I can feel the wheel vibrate. In terms of the actual forces, I can't be sure, but it think it goes "lighter" rather than "heavier".

 

A slipping tire on the steering axle should give less feedback than a gripping one.

 

I suspect it depends on the tires and other factors but, I experienced a very obvious chatter in the wheel while inducing under-steer during an Autocross run using performance street tires. Slicks might be quite different.

 

That may be explained by the wheel in use but, SCGT is one of the titles that just works straight out of the box with the AF. AC is not too far off now either but, the build-up of pressure prior to grip-loss is one of the stand-out features in SCGT FFB for me. It's extremely effective when combined with the tire-squeal to let you know that you are "close to the edge".

 

Exactly, tier squeal! That's to me the only reminder of grip in SCE. Therefore I don't like it.
AC is different!
At least to me

 

wow! has anyone under braking just quickly snatched a brake and the car jolts to one side quickly!!?

brilliant haven't felt that in a sim before.. this new v5 is really something.

 

to retract im not sure what GM is talking about then i get/feel the feedback under braking try the FXX for that. It may not be as detailed as other sims in that ara, but its there in some form. I think i ahd my ffb set too light on the above example, ive since reset it and its felt better..

on that bombshell i bought dlc 2 last nite. hehe

 

Does anyone else feel the tyres lose grip too easily when they heat up? I don't think your tyres become like buttered ice after spinning them a couple of times on grass in real life. The effect feels exaggerated to me.

 

I love FFB in GSC but in terms

don`t know .. but apparently if you slide rear little bit in one corner (heat tyres up) , you need to go easier on next one in real life (in cars without TC) .. so who knows
if you wanna trust internet:

 

Well the heatup on grass is definately exagerrated. The grip falloff above optimum temp I don't know. I read some drift enthusiast are complaining about it in another thread.

 

I haven't noticed anything unusual about the grip after completing multiple successive fast laps @ Vallelunga Club.

 

Wow, the LaFerrari is a monster now @ Vallelunga Club with the Hypercar Road tyres, and TC disabled. My lap time is a second down, but who cares?!

 

if anything AC for me with the new updated tyres etc, has just become a great sim, it does manage to capture driving a car quite well (as much as a pc can) Yes it needs further tweaks but hell its only going to go forward.

Laptimes being slower,,,,... cant see a problem with that really.

anything else kunos will correct

ive hated AC for too long now (for reasons with handling ai etc ), and now I can say I don't. I'm glad its back

 

I can't even begin to describe how much more of a pleasure it is now to drive the Lotus Elise and Exige 240R. I have to be honest here and say that I thought the handling characteristics of these cars were "weird" prior to the 1.3 update. What puzzles me is why so few people questioned it. They are so much more stable and well behaved now....exactly like I expected them to be. So why were they so different in earlier versions? Why did they exhibit that awful (and extremely annoying) "spin out when downshifting even slightly too early" behaviour? Why are they not affected to the same extent by weight transfer under braking since the 1.3 update?

Answers on a postcard, please (preferably one with a stunningly attractive babe on the front)

 

wheel settings changed and the joy came back! no problem with tyres now and their temp. Now I am faster and really enjoying the game. Even with italia manage to do 1.52:2XX (last one was about 1.54 on optimum) on zandvoort with green track and there is still a place for a better pace!

thank God!

 

anyone else thinks the 458 is a dream to drive. I love the ruf to but the 458 kills it in composure me thinks.

will add though the 458 seems lighter in ffb I'm running most cars at 70ish ut 458 I can run a high 80 gain

 

Only half an hour left at work, and then I will be legging it back home for more test drives @ Vallelunga Club. First up will be the Lotus Exige Scura...

 

u like this track? I got several problems to feel it in gulietta, so I dont have a good memories
