Help with the 2.03 understeer.

[LarryL]

This is my first time actually using the tuning forum, so sorry if this has been adressed a billion times.

But every car I had tuned to perfection for my driving (which isn't many, I only have a couple dozen I use all the time so only really tune those), they now ALL have understeer I think it is where it won't turn and I plow off the track almost every corner. It's universale, they all do the same be they FR MR 4WD, whatever, they all understeer and they all understeer indentically.

Since it's a universal problem on all my tuned cars, I'm wondering if you pro-tuners on this forum have worked out a universal fix to do to every car (I assume it would be the same amount of adjustment to them all since they all seem to oversteer the same amount). Or am I going to have to start from scratch on all the cars I use?

I found in the latest update than the suspension really matters now. There used to be a lot more leeway before, but now the smallest changes will make a difference. I would say just look at other peoples tunes for the cars and see what they did. Also let off gas when going around the apex of the corner keeps it closer and less understeer.

It is difficult to recommend a universal fix for your tunes without seeing them. Could be LSD? Springs, dampers, arbs? Toe or camber?

Oh, and sorry, I think I meant 2.02. I'm also playing and talking online about Skyrim. I'm getting my patches scrambled.

That's one I hadn't noticed. I play mostly offline, so that might have something to do with it. If what shmogt said about there being less leeway in suspension tuning than before, that could be a big part of it. The Bummer is your only option might be to sit down a re-tune all your cars.

What I found is if your tune was actually good before than it will still be good. Any cars that ate bad now never were a good tune. I didn't care much about dampers or anti roll bars before and would just kind of guess but now each change I make effects it. A change in the transmission will effect the LSD etc. everything works tighter with each other now.

OK, thanks. I don't know if I feel like going through the tweaking process anymore. Maybe I'll just start looking into other people's set-ups. Mine don't really hang online anyway, they were just drivable with no aids for my driving style. Hopefully I can find some stuff that works for me.

It sounds like you need to change your driving style slightly a rear wheel drive car shouldnt plough-on like a front wheel drive unless your just gunning it apply acceleration smoothly and progressively slow in fast out wait until you hit the apex then start applying power. Maybe try spending sometime racing online to see how others fair against yourself.

Ya you may have to learn to race a little different too. I have some tunes that you could just slam the gas and slam the break. but no more. I tried everything and tried other tunes, but nothing can let them do that anymore. I had to become a better driver. It worked out even better tho because you will be able to drive everything better.
