PD really have to adjust their smoke generation parameters.
How often do you go into a corner hard on the brakes, and without locking it, send billowing thick white smoke from the loaded outside front tyre?
It's almost impossible to sustain any kind of drift or slide, even with super-low-power FR cars like MX5/Miata etc without ludicrous amounts of smoke pouring off the tyres. Same goes for any 4wd car driven remotely sidewards.
It's really starting to annoy me. We've all seen BM videos of Keiichi and co "drifting" in RX7s etc the entire last turn at Tsukuba with just the faintest whisp of blue smoke so we all know what looks realistic, and what is just eye-candy (and dubious eye-candy at that, but that's another thread, cough-aliasing-cough). It's just not realistic looking at all for such huge amounts of thick smoke to be generated so easily, although I'm not saying it's impossible, of course. You just need big power and to be trying really hard, or big power and an open differential, but inside-spin is the not the case here.
The corner entry thing is perhaps the worst, though- absurd to say the least. I've NEVER seen a car pour smoke from its front outside tyre on corner entry without locking it and going straight on, it just doesn't happen, because it can't happen. Just because a tyre "goes red" doesn't mean it should spontaneously start smoking, especially not in those circumstances. For smoke you need spinning or locking. In that situation (the car is still turning, so the outside front is clearly not locked), if you were to lock a tyre and create smoke, it would be the inside front, not the outside.
Replays which might otherwise look quite realistic are ruined by this. I'd honestly rather turn the smoke completely off.
