I got GTS a week ago now and am hoping I can get some help with being more consistent and learning tracks.
When learning a new track, I usually start with a slower and easier to control car and do a few dozen laps, trying to go as fast a second I can from the start. With each lap, I try to determine my preferred line and braking points for that car, but the latter always seem to vary (I’m assuming because I’m either entering the braking point at a different speed or a different angle, or maybe I just don’t apply the same percentage of brake/throttle, or my steering angle is different).
As a result, it seems to take me forever to learn a track, so I’m curious if there are any tips for improving consistency, or just general tips to help learn a track that any of you would be willing to share with me?
For what it’s worth, I’ve always played with the driving lines, cone markers, and brake indicators off (as I don’t want to get too reliant on them and I actually like the process of figuring it out myself - I just want to speed up the process). I play with a DS4 pad set to motion controls (steering sensitivity 4), and triggers for pedals. Always MT and TCM set to 0. ABS is default.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: forgot to mention that once I’m somewhat comfortable with a track using a slower car, I’ll move up to something a bit quicker and review/modify braking points as necessary, but it usually takes a few hours and different sessions to get there because of my inconsistencies.
