Peugeot 405 T16 Problem?

[Johnny[HUN]]

Well its weird but this car is... weird.
First, the turbometer is going like crazy, so unrealistic movement
Then it doesn't matter how i adjust the gears, it always has short gears despite i set the final ratio to the max
Third: The just doesn't turn. No joke, it doesn't turn in the corners no matters how i set the differential. Its like driving with a forward-wheel drive car, but i even set the differential to rear only and does the same.

Anyone else?

Cannot comment on the gears but you need to break befor the turn and and step on the gas through the corner then it wont understeer as much. Btw understeer is very common with old 4x4 cars with lots of power.

Boost gauge operation doesn't seem to be very different from 205. Didn't pay much attention to it, since the 405 doesn't seem to suffer from massive turbo-lag of its smaller brother. Short ratios are a pain, though, I agree. Setting the slider all the way to "long" helps, but only a bit.

How many gears does this car have anyway (the question to guys, who use sequential and not 6-speed H-shifter like me :D ).

braking is another joke in this game, i haven't experienced this before because PP is the only normal tarmac track, but if you push the brake even a very little at high speed the car will spin the f*ck out, a LITTLE, very little!!! brake in the corners sometimes makes the car spin out again.
This physics is a big joke. I did Pikes Peak in Assetto Corsa million times, was good, but here its a disaster.

Agree 100%

turbo is unrealistic? the turbo takes a while to spool up, doesnt start making boost until about 6K and doesnt seem to make full boost right until redline. very surgey power, like a single turbo supra, lots of lag but when it kicks in it goes

Dude, i said turbometer, not turbo...

the meter is half of what my observation is based off of, the other half is how it drives. So whats the problem with it

For me the turbometer (which shows the actual turbo pressure) is not moving normally. The arrow or stick that shows the actual bar. Its going fast and the game can't handle well its spinning like hell. Try to pull the handbrake, put it to neutral and play with the throttle. You will see that the meter will go crazy :D This is my only problem with the turbometer.

Set brake bias to one click before of full front. Works for RWD cars too on the icy stages of MC though you'll get massive understeer but that's the price of stability under braking.

putting the brakes to the front is not a good idea for rally... For circuit races it's okay, but for rally it is a suicide. You can't corner properly with this. Also, i use only brake instead of handbrake in dirt/gravel tracks, its quicker and safer.

With much front brake bias you need to brake before turning but it's true that you compromise turn-in ability for stability. Been using this setting for tarmac stages on all the cars so far and won almost all my masters championships.
