Vehicle Physics :-(
I have over 950 hours in Just Cause2 and 4450km of driving distance mainly with Motorcycles and cars/jeeps.
With Just Cause 3, I can't go 100' feet without the motorcycles flipping around, nearly impossible to handle. Massive dead spots in the center of the wireless controller. I don't get this in JC2.
Is it always going to be like this or can we tweek some physics settings somewhere???
Some cars need this too, pull the ebrake at 15 miles per hour and the cars stops instantly, no inertia.

Funny I get none of this. I hit ONE spot in the road where my car went out of control (airborne) but that's more of a map bug than the physics.

I get that too at the beginning of bridges, throws the cars or bikes about 20 feet into the air.

It's another case of
"Let's release a broken game and let the modders fix it"
Now we wait for mods...

I don't get that either, unless its raining, but that makes it more realistic.. I like the new vehicle handling...

People complain about realistic handling. If its not press a button and turn left or right perfectly then people complain. The system is great, you have to actually judge how fast you're going around curves and turn just the right amount. Heavy vehicles tend to speed up slowly and don't turn as efficiently where as the sportier cars tend to speed up quickly and turn sharply.

The only thing even remotely wrong with the driving system is the handbrake which I feel is too sensitive.

But the DRM blocks the mods,

So basically we're screwed.

Oh boy do I agree so much with this. I hated the handling in Just Cause 2 and when I saw their videos I thought wow they must have fixed it! Good grief was I mistaken. The handling is so shockingly terrible! As many hours as I played in JC2 I can't help but feel left down by JC3. I've run out of stuff to do really quickly for some reason so yeah. Plus my PC needs an upgrade in order to play it actually well so I'm kinda bummed out by this. The new DLC looks sick though.

Don't contradict yourself.

How did he contradict himself? He mentioned being let down by the main game but said the dlc looked sick. This isnt contradicting yourself.....

The game's car & bike physics are some of the worst I have seen.
They are not realistic, they are not arcady. They are just bad.
No matter the weather, if you are going at a fast speed you will instantly flip the care 180 degrees or go airborne with a mere tap on A or D.
I shouldn't have to go 20 KM/H with a formel 1 car that is MADE for fast racing & turning.

This is the man, he speaks the absolute truth.

I agree they are terrible; and for me a downgrade on jc2's car handling which was extremely twitchy. I will say if you use a controller they are much, much better than when you use keyboard.
