Update 1.12 discussion

The fast wheel turning is highly suspicious, that's faster than any race driver I've even seen lol, I suspect lower steering degrees even if he says it wasn't.

Just the amount of natural damping from a belt wheel, even with it unplugged I cannot turn it that fast, never mind whilst also fighting the FFB.

 

Doesnt replay make the wheel look weird too?

 

I tried the 911 GT3 Cup car the other day, does anyone know why the gearbox makes a thud noise on downshifts but no noise when up shifting?

 

Neither of these countersteers from 2 above vids are possible on G27 on 900 deg. It's way way too fast for G27's FFB motors. I'm not even sure if with FFB off G27 is that fast - I don't think so...

 

Is it possible that gamma/filter/speed sensitivity make the wheel behave like that?

 

Which grip setting did you use in that video?

 

I repeat that those videos are made in g27 and t300 with 900 °, green track, street tires. Prove yourselves before you say it is a lie. Support I think we are talking about different things, my complaint with the Lotus Elise is that you will never find understeer. The only way the back is released is to do crazy things with the steering wheel. In real life this happens in a natural driving. The Elise in AC allows a lot of driving errors and will never have a scare, it will always be stable.

 

There are times when I wonder if I am playing a completely different game

 

Are you comparing stock setup in AC with stock setup IRL? Because the setup has an immense affect on this car.
And as Aris said, many Elise run with modified setup IRL.

 

My Lotuses steer like derailed trains. Except the faster versions which are more balanced. The Elise has to slow to parking lot speed to be able to turn around the corners of Magione.
Edit: just did 1:31.343 in the stock Elise there.

Nah the backend does break out under braking, you even get some lift off oversteer though you have to release the throttle violently.

 

To be honest, I have always been baffled by some of the moves that I see when watching others on the monitor, and that video above is a classic example. I see people seemingly stopping cars from spinning out of control by using full lock and (what sounds like) full throttle, and it just confuses the hell out of me. For one thing, even getting to full lock with a 900 degree steering wheel takes me half an hour. Secondly, if I tried flooring the throttle when attempting to recover from a dodgy slide, those same slow motion hands on the wheel would result in a quick visit to wallsville. Maybe it's just me, but that "hands moving faster than a speeding bullet" lark has never been part of my skill set, so I don't even bother. I just try to drive my cars as smooth and precise as possible, and do my level best to avoid going anywhere near a full lock drift! That doesn't mean to say that I can't powerslide every now and again, but it needs to be done with a relatively stable car that requires minimal steering input to control.

The moral of this story? I can quite happily spin virtually any car in Assetto Corsa with remarkable ease

 

Let go of the wheel after the initial countersteer and it will wind itself to full lock (or lock of least resistance). I'd recommend doing some drifting in AC and after some time it will come naturally regardless of the car.

Flooring the gas in oversteer probably isn't an attempt to straighten the car but a try to keep the momentum while nearing the point where you'd want to change direction anyway. If the car already oversteers, sometimes is just faster to go with it rather than try to reset the situation.

 

It depends a lot on the steering wheel you're using. The G25 and the T300 are both relatively fast wheels. Try the same with the wheel that I have (Fanatec GT3 RS v2) and you're in a lot of trouble.
For me, this one of the main reasons why I wanted a direct drive wheel, because those are fast enough to be able to replicate real steering wheel movements.
And it will be the point of when I'll increase my steering wheel lock from 540° to 1080° or something around that.

Although I might revert that last statement, because I like a very direct steering.
The indirect response of some cars (read: have to turn the wheel for anything to happen) really is not my thing. Not in regard to being able to catch a slide or not, but regarding the overall feeling.
If I could choose, I'd setup my road car with something like 540-720° as well.

Another note about slides/drifts: going full throttle isn't exactly the best way to catch slides. No throttle is bad most of the time as well.

One other thing I noticed, which may or may not be related to the update 1.12, I'm not sure here.
If one sets a limit for the virtual steering wheel (in my case 270°) that value gets reset every now and then by the game for some reason I couldn't yet figure out.
It's quite annoying …

Well, considering I can do high 23's there.... It's not amazing, still think it doesn't feel as edgy as it should but it's not hopeless either :/

 

the exige roadster is plenty of fun , though it has ****ty flappy paddle gearbox

 

I thought it was h-pattern, no?

 

The Roadster is paddle shift, the other Exige S is H pattern.
