Pickup trucks are way too f*cking slippery to drive

[Hetzrr]

Seriously have the devs never drove a truck before? Driving pickups in this game is like driving on f*cking ice.

Its all part of their never ending balancing fetish where they buff something in the game and then nerf some other element in order to counteract it and stay relevant in their pretend developer jobs. Meanwhile, every other video game development team in the world uses whats called "vertical slice method" where once the game is finished and released all that it gets is an occasional bug fix and perhaps an expansion. Then they just make a new video game.

Instead this game is in a constant state of disarray and what I like to call "dabbleware" where the new people that showed up late to the party fiddle around with the Unreal Engine blueprints and create things like noodle arms, gravyvision and ATGM's that purposely go to a different direction than where you aim.

Always has been. The best method is to hold shift when in 3rd gear so it doesn't go up to 4th. Yes you are a bit slower but you won't slide to the side as easy.

they kinda feel like their brakes are worn out or something lmao

What are you talking about you don't have full control of your vehicle when you drive the pickup trucks, you can't "learn". You can be an expert at racing games and still wreck because the physics make no sense at all in them.

thats just cuz the wheels are made from black cheese

Just don't press the Gaz button if you going to turn the wheel. Still slippery for sure, but its much easier.

One of OWI's legacy srew ups that never get fixed.

It's so satisfying to drive in this game when you do a full 5-10 minute logi run without spinning out. Take the racing line and learn how to induce oversteer and correct understeer with power input and tapping the handbrake. Also brake in straight lines and trailbrake etc helps a lot with not going over all available grip.

As a 3k ELO iRacer, can confirm.

Pro tip: when closing in to a corner, hold shift to lock 2nd or 3rd gear, easy on the gas and sail through the corner

Expecting to pull off 90 deg turns at 70kph in a toyota pickup?

[Seb]

Didn't know about the Shift at all, definitely will try that. Solution would be to make the thing 4x4 as it should be.

So it would flip end over end killing eveyrone inside when doing 90 deg turns over 30kph

"So it would flip end over end killing eveyrone inside when doing 90 deg turns over 30kph"
Yes 2 + 2 = 17
Wait what ?
I was just thinking it would make the front wheels pull forward. But guess 4 x 4 would make the truck flip and kill everyone, dunno what i was thinking. My bad.
