pretty much my feeling yes I mentioned this on this thread i think, the FW cars are just awful to drive with over magnified torque steer
I dont fully agree In AMS2 working out the cars behavior through setup but also custom FFB teeaking has achieved the balance i need so i have no hate cats in the game as we speak Just the Trucks they are too slow and understeery for my taste
Brake them hard, yank them into the corner and be VERY early on throttle...i mean VERY VERY early and the Copa Truck will transform into an oversteer machine. The trick is to manage tire wear and temps, while doing the early throttle and hard braking stuff, but you could be surprised, how agile they can be mid-corner to exits, when being early on the accelerator.^^
It's all even earlier, than a 911. With the 911, you brake into the corner, trying to keep as much weight at the front, as possible, the rear is coming out, coast/maintenance throttle through the apex, open up to about 70% throttle after it on exit, waiting until it "settles" and then open it up gradually. With the Copa truck, you brake as modulated and hard, you can get away with, without locking, also shifting all the weight to the fronts, to give more initial turn-in and already, before the apex arrives, you will keep on throttle, to spool up the turbine of that huge turbo, the torque and full locked diff will do their work, to apply some serious turning from the rears. At this moment, you have punished a lot of your rubber and brakes and you have to consider, on which magnitude you execute this, to save your truck from being useless after 5 laps.
Still they are too slow for my taste. I wonder how many people here like driving them regularly. Its a nice add on dont get me wrong but it doesnt hook me as much as the rest of the offering in the game.
The experience of running these updated rF2 GTEs at Sebring, no other other sim comes close to it! If you guys haven't tried it, the Global Endurance Cup is brilliant. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2110884303&searchtext=
I tried it briefly the other evening. - I don't know the circuit yet, but is the surface supposed to feel like a British B road?
I dont know if thats me but from the 2 GTEs I have bought, the Aston and the RSR I feel quite low and lifeless FFB. I am at 100% FFB multiplier and 4% smoothing but really my TS PC racer feels completely dull like nothing from the road/tires/kerbs come through. These are the only cars I own where I have this lackluster feeling, anything I could look at to correct this?
My experience with the G29 for those cars is very good. Raceroom should also get more GTE’s for its briljant track selection. The latter is an area where RF2 still falls short but mods fill the gap to some extent and quality always goes above quantity.
Can you share your FFB settings? We have very different wheels mechanism but i am curious because many people praise these GTEs and i am having zero fun driving them as opposed to many other cars in RF2.
A lap of Sebring in a Cadillac DPi I think S397 really nailed this track and those massive bumps coming around Sunset Bend
