Sorry I can't reproduce the symptoms you describe. For me it was stable braking into these corners.

All I can suggest is, yeah, rear downforce or try more negative front toe. Unless it's the weight transfer that is putting you off, in which case stiffer springs will reduce the motion sickness!

KMW Online Corvette RM 650 PP
Based on Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 C6 RM 2009
Tuned for v2.07 online

If your Corvette doesn't have "backlight" settings, then you should use Aerodynamics 35 / 35 and Brake strength 10 / 10 instead :embarrassed:
(in "driving options", change sensitivity to 7 and ABS to 1)


Is KMW dead? I hope not!! To try and keep this thing kicking, I've put together an online tune for the the C6 Corvette ZR1 RM. Also, this tune was a guinea pig for my new tuning method. While there's faster "PP cheese cars" around, I'm so happy with the way its turned out.

All that's left is is for you to review it, hopefully collecting some scalps online along the way!

Glad to see you're still at it, and I'll be glad to give it a drive...

...is what I'd normally say, but I can't go into online lobbies, so unless it can also handle offline, I can't really say much about this one. :indiff:
 
Heh, I've spent a bit too much time around both you and Temetias to say no for helping you out with some driving.

Yea, I've been so close to tearing out my entire internet thing because of it…but looking at the settings, I'm guessing understeer as well. One thing though, the picture says "Steering Sensitivity 7", but you say use 0…which to follow? :P
 
Heh, it shouldn't have mattered much, as far as I can tell, it drove brilliantly when I finally got my GT5 to stop working against me and got online. I did only test it at High Speed Ring, however, it left me with a good few impressions of it.

- It's a strange car to drive, at first. It feels like it wants to slide…but never actually goes as far as to snap back at you.

- When you turn into a corner, initially, it's quick to respond. However, it seems to resist turning more and more as you go through the corner, or just go too far the other way and get very close to snapping. It's similar to how a car would drive if you gave it really, very soft rear spring rates, it's quite hard to control. Granted, it's not as bad as I make it seem, but it does have an effect on how confident you can be in a race.

- Eh…10/10 Brake balance…a bit too strong? I don't know, I can't really feel the difference, but it does stop quite violently…good for a race with unpredictable surroundings, I suppose. :lol:

I haven't found a good enough place to test it yet, so just take this for now. :P
 
👍
Thanks for the comments. I don't mean to sound defensive, but I find it drives like an RR. Maybe this will help make sense of the handling.

Violent braking is good :lol: But if it's causing violent cornering then that's something that would need fixing.
 
Well, I spent more time with it, this time at that Tokyo street track. And here's a list of the cars that fell victim to it:
- Ferrari 458
- Merc SLS AMG
- Calsonic Impul R35
- Mazda Furai
- Nissan GT-R Concept LM Race Car thingy

…so despite what I say, it's really quite potent. :lol: It does handle kind of like a RR in that, you push it and it'll swap ends on you just like that. I really enjoyed it though.

I was also 0.014 from beating a RX7 TC…after a very close, very very close scrape. So it's quite a fighter. My only complaint was that I couldn't push it to the very limits due to the car's handling at the edge, but it performed extremely well nonetheless.
