LSD offline/online difference

Hi everybody!
I have been testing my LSD setups for a long time again and again in GTLife mode, practice, time trial, grip - REAL. ABS1 only. G 27. Car ReAmemiya FD3S.Comfort hards.
The problem is I couldnt see any difference between 5/5/5 and 60/60/60 and 5/60/60 and so on. I might be dumb, but my drift was always same on track.
Yesterday I went into online lobby, grip-REAL and I have figured out that my LSD is absolutely different from offline ( observasion is based on car behavour).
With my 5/60/55 settings I could drift quite good BUT my car was a way TOO twitchy and quick in transitions. Rear end swings from left to right too fast. Hard to achieve wheel lock. Required wheel corrections in mid drift. Speed was faster. Better to keep the racing line.
I had changed to 40/60/50. As result, it was slower in transitions and speed, but more stable in middrift and understeer on exit of a turn. Harder to keep on a racing line. Easy to reach wheel lock, longer it lasted, wheel stable in middrift.
Then I changed to 40/40/50. Transitions' speed and stability were the same, but on exit of a turn understeer had gone and car was much more better.
I dont pretend to say what setting ARE correct and BETTER. NO.
I just whant to say that LSD setups work for me ONLY ONLINE. Or is it just me?!
Please dont put a load of complains on me, its just my observations and feelings.

Hmm... Strange. I don't feel any difference between online and offline drifting. LSD - 30/30/60.

Low\Real grip difference will take effect only when you go off track, or when you practice rain drifing.

I use DS3.

Yeah the "REAL" grip setting only affects what happens when you go off track or clip a rumble strip.

What you said about your settings makes sense, a higher IT value will slow down transitions and increase turn-in time. Lower makes it more snappy, I usually run 10 60 30 (1.5-way diff) because it gives the advantages of a 2-way but with a little more deceleration control. You just gotta run with what feels best for YOU.

I barely ever test my cars offline because of the strange physics difference, when you go online it feels almost like a different car.

Do you test them in Time Attack mode, or in Drift mode?

Strange... I though I could do reverse entries a lot easier and more efficiently when the grip loss setting was set to Real compared to Low because there are no unexpected changes in car directions and the car in general has less grip. Next time I go drifting on GT5, I will have to test both grip settings and see for myself if there is a difference.

many people have say'd that online and offline physics are different... (and they are in one area, you cant roll over a car online and can offline) but apart from that, this might be the only one!

For me its the same and I NEVER had any differences whatsoever! but then again maybe its just me! But I do test and play both, online and offline, my online setups work offline and offline setups work online... maybe I cant tell the difference, but its damn same...
