I have certain way to do it that so far works on all replica cars that I built in GT6 ( LSD works differently than in GT5 IMO ), check my replicas, build them and drive them, and feel the LSD works, some of the replicas with distinct LSD replica : The LSD also surprisingly works great, at least for me.
Stock in game LSD represents them, or it's told to be this way (since GT4).
Try drive the replica and compare to the stock GTR, try the Bee R R32 GTR that already posted Some Japanese tuner also opted for 2 way front and 2 way rear NISMO GT LSD ( usually uses the carbon or Pro variety ), and it works great as well on GT6.
Just a Q. : do you have access to technical details about real world LSD, and how they translate in term of GT6 gameplay ?Yes, but the preload torque is different on the NISMO GT that I replicated, and locking rate also differs ( cam angle, friction plates etc ) The NISMO GT LSD is an upgrade from the stock GTR active LSD
- so initial always fluid, while cam angle + number of plates - accel/brake sensitivity almost stays constant, I added extra value when the LSD has higher locking rate due to more plates used or higher diameter size. ( just rough approximation )
Say your LSD is 6/12/6 and it's locking at accel.I used my past experiences with LSD in real car, and I also do some research on manufacturer websites - ATS, CUSCO, NISMO, TRD, etc ( used google ). I did some research + compare on stock LSD of cars that I have driven IRL and that I have replaced with aftermarket LSD ( R33 GTST 300WHP and R33 GTR ( not mine, a mate have one ) + NISMO GT LSD ), check the stock value in GT6 and made a calculation on how to roughly translate different preload and locking rate. From this one car, I got a rough idea of how to adapt some real world LSD, just rough adaptation, but it works well for me ( no ABS and mostly comfort + sports tire )
Hint : I adapted the value range of initial in GT6 LSD in relation to a car's torque
So have you tried the Top Fuel Civic ? That car has LSD that most tuner here would never use
Say your LSD is 6/12/6 and it's locking at accel.
Locking, it will re-set your LSD to 6/6/6. If tires are still slipping, it will give you 6/0/6 until tires are even and unslip/unlock.
That's why initial should ever be the lowest setting of a LSD.
Accel/decel setting are not fully in relation with torque, it's more in relation with torque "when" the LSD locks.
Accel/decel setting represents % of slip allowed.
At 34 for exemple, you allow inside wheel to turn 50-34/2% slower than the outside = 50+34/2.
That makes 33% /67% or more or less the outside wheel turning twice the speed of the inside wheel.
So this is not related to torque : the moment at driving when you lock is torque dependant.
Just to say : beware of what you do, it seems that if you set the intial torque-related, that's sadly a track dependent setting...
PS - I didn't had the time to test, it's 10:12am there, I can't test until 8pm
edit - (I understand I'm saying now it's not final ratio related : it's final ratio related on the track you use in fact, because your tire will/will not lock depending on the rev you entered a corner - due, as you say, to torque applied)
Running low initial will always result in early locking, the higher the initial, the later it will lock, just like in real LSD torque preload, the lower, the more sensitive it is to lock, higher preload will lock a bit later, but usually will wear out the LSD quicker and maintaining stable high preload would be difficult due to wear and tear. RL LSD usually run low preload of 3kg to 9kg, some of the competition spec LSD have 20kg or more and high cam angle up to 60/70 degrees in acceleration and as low as 1 degree when coasting/braking and bigger plate diameter + more number of plates to strengthen locking ability.
