Tuning help.

Hey

When increasing spring rates, anti-roll bars, things that measure in n/mm which way is firmer or softer? If I increase am I making it firmer?

Also for the damping, fast bump, slow bump, etc which way is firmer and softer?

[Paradox1126]

I was told that firmer is to the right and softer to the left. I asked the same question on the WRC discord.

[Imo]

I always turn down the spring rate to zero!

Dont bother saving your setups though, the next time you load them they will all be set to 0. Its a known bug for this crap immaturely released game.

[karik_FIN_134]

spring rates = higher value is firmer

damping = more towards positive value is firmer (+Bump Zone Division maybe towards bigger value activates Fast Bump more often, was like that in dr2.0)

cars with center diff torque bias = maybe shows % split for rear drive (would be reversed in this compared to dr.20 that shows % split for front drive in slider)

positive toe = toe in
negative toe = toe out

[Head_on_a_Stick]

In respect of the damping: "fast" controls the response to bumps in the road whereas "slow" controls the response of the suspension to the application & removal of power & brakes.

Guys I'm sorry if this has been covered already in thousands of other posts here, on discord, or videos on YouTube, or wherever, but I still have doubts about the differential. As simples as possible, what happens when I get to lower values, on each item? Do I lock or open? Can't find a clear answer to this anywhere... Thank you all!

no problem :)
btw, it depends on what open lock means to you.
higher % = higher lock = you force your wheels to turn at same speed.

yeah got it. I was following this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=dutch&id=2028926468
Which makes sense, but couldn't apply the concepts to EA WRC because of my doubt, you know.

The best settings are the ones that match your driving style :)
Good luck and have fun !

Curious about this. What kind of styles are there ? I'd imagine we're all trying to go flat out and stay on the best racing line?

I meant, I believe that we all drive differently and most importantly we all react differently.
That's why we can all drive the same "best" line but will have all different times.
What do you think ?

[Andrea6211]

Oh sure, I think the same, and it also depends on which device you're using, like if controller or wheel, and which one as well. And also your own experience, the way you basically use your hands on the wheel, or fingers on a controller. I'm a musician for a living, that's why I'm getting kind of detailed about this, but yeah, tuning should be done considering how you drive, more than other aspects.

Left is front, Right is rear
Left is soft, Right is stiff.
Left is open right is locked.

I think that covers it.
