traction etc on/off thing?

[Amorphos_Z]

so as with many games, you turn off traction and stability controls, like its some big secret which everyone knows tho. just have the damn things on for everyone permanently and for everything!
why do games do shiz like this?

You can drive with both off, but if you're driving a RWD you need to be very gentle on the accelerator at low speeds, otherwise the power of your engine breaks traction on the rear wheels and then, well... [/quote]

I'd say it is first and foremost when accelerating out of corners and you haven't straightened out your steering/lateral Gs yet that RWD wants to bite you, and bite you badly.

don't your cars act differently on pvp? as i say, freedrive i can switch traction and stability off and drive no problem, i keep abs on though. its just on pvp that my cars act differently ~ no way to control them.

i don't think its my driving ability, although i have only been playing since fh5 come out so there's a few things i don't get.

i can't tune for 2 different behaviour sets, is all.

"real racers" don't have them on in game OR in real life. Not sure which limited edition google you've been using.

No no, they have' em irl, at least depending on the car. GT3 cars in particular tend to have fairly cushy, and very advanced assists compared to anything modeled in.. probably any sim/game/simgame under the sun. There's, like, a dozen different settings for JUST ABS in the newer McLaren GT3s, for one.

The only thing that's different between PVP and and free roam is your adrenal response, In Layman's terms your choking. If you show me a driver that has never choked I'll show you a liar. I usually close my eyes and take a deep breath before a multiplayer race just to try and center myself.

You dont want to focus too much as this is where mistakes are made. Great drivers will tell you they are in a state of zen, seeing and feeling but not thinking about the corner, like a dancer.
In fact I'm at my best when my mind drifts and my sub conscious kinda takes over.

yes, it is not my driving ability, anyone can add me, race me and see for themselves - at least see that i can race well.

thanks stinger, i thought that was so.

all i am saying is that if i turn off traction control, it is fine on freedrive, but not on pvp. it is not my driving ability if i can do freedrive with assists off is it!

ergo, whatever the reason for the difference on pvp, some of us do get that change occur - which isn't fair is it!

[kireta]

There's no difference, you're just bad at driving under pressure and make more mistakes

A few tips.
I'm no expert at this stuff so don't consider what I say religion it's just stuff that helps me.

1. Most important. Breath
2. Drive the course not the cars around you. Deal with other drivers as they come don't focus exclusively on passing everyone.
3. Remember slow in fast out. The more you antisapte corners and line up for the apex and exit the faster you will be overall.
4. You don't have to be fist every race. Enjoy the drive relax do your best. This one is damn hard to do in this game.
5. Rwd cars practice a neutral (enough throttle to maintain momentum not speed up or slow down) throttle position through the apex. If your full on the gas on the apex or the breaks you have blown the turn entry or exit.

Hope this helps somebody.

thanks for the tips, im on keyboard so full throttle or no throttle. thankfully forza has thought of us too, and the controller settings also work on keyboard. there is a delay when you take your foot off the peddle and for acceleration - as per whatever we set it as, but there is no half way or neutral as you put it.

its ok tho, there are ways in this game for everybody regardless off what your setup is. :) i find that e.g. ARB set at 50 13 - the opposite of what i do for AWD, helps a lot with how RWD works and oversteers in a different way.

also keyboard here and i m always using

abs = on
steering = simulated
traction control = off
stability control = off
shifting = manual

Simulation steering, no traction control and manual shifting with a keyboard?

That's pretty hardcore

[kireta]

Modulating and softer suspension in rear for some damping works well enough up to S1. Can even be used in S2, but is obviously less reliable.
Manual shifting is preferable because you can use early upshifting to reduce risk of breaking traction.

[Amorphos_Z]

abs = on

they could resolve the whole thing by making traction off not make your cars go mad - for some of us. i figured the devs done this to try to stop people using this on pvp?

as i say, i can use traction off for freedrive, but if i do that on pvp my cars are completely uncontrollable - and its not me! the internet is different for some of us perhaps, so its not you guys fault but imho devs should force traction on for pvp. this is because millions of people got less good internet, and seeing as said earlier, real racing does have it on, then why not?

Not hardcore at all. I have the same settings on keyboard and i find it perfect. FH5 is really great with keyboard if you know how to use it. And unlike FH4 here you can drive RWD cars with keyboard too.

Traction control is horrible because it slows you down by a lot. It's important to learn driving without it if you want good results online. If you find a RWD car difficult to drive then it's better to swap it to AWD instead of using TC to control it.

[Amorphos_Z]

nah i can use rwd no problem, its my connection that's the problem. if i switch traction control off and go online, then my cars are uncontrollable. it honestly isnt my driving, anyone can see that on the rivals menu to see.

i have seen it a few times now, some people's cars go sideways and slide for ages - as mine did yesterday once. earlier today it was fine and i won 3 races, then just now my car was so slow i had to leave and reset my modem.
