Well the leaderboards show what the angle hack does, watch the replays of the top few in some of them and all you see is a car moving in a straight line but going sideways due to the hack. Yes I know this is the drifting forum, correct me if I'm wrong but surely the drift leaderboard should be talked about here and not the racing or b spec section of the forum. Nice try.
Honestly, not many people in the drifting forum care about the drift trails. Just because you are number one in the drift trails doesn't mean a thing to most of the people here. The point system is total crap anyway and before hybriding I would lose points for going 90 degres around a corner anyway.
Not to mention the TVR Speed 12 being one of the most hated cars in drift lobbies because of the drift trails.
Let me inform you of something. This is coming from someone who has tested the steering modification before you even knew about it.
Let me tell you about the PROS and CONS.
PROS-
You can correct the problems of not having a realistic/correct amount of degrees of rotation. Which pretty much every real life car has 1080 degrees of rotation. So if you are using any wheel besides a Thrustmaster, you won't get the correct amount of stock degrees of rotation anyway.
When done correctly you can replicate real life steering modification (aka steering knuckles) as realistic to D1GP and FD standards. I know people who use it realisticly to the point they only correct PD's screw up, and I also know people who like going higher than that.
But you can only go so high on the adjustment before you get wheel bind and go totally unrealistic with it.
CONS-
When used wrong it can be a pointless modification. Mostly people who know nothing about it will do the thing you have seen in the drift trails.
If you have a unrealistic amount and decide to join a lobby with the big part of the community you will get kicked out.
You start using a unrealistic amount you are laughed at for it because you don't know much about drifting period.
All I am trying to say is that you need to stop being so judgemental to this modification before you actually understand it. You are seeing the bad side of it only and are judging it solely on that, which isn't really the best way to go about it. Gain some actual knowledge on the subject before you judge it completely.
