Chasing Fast Will Kill You VOTE
The last few days if been doing a lot of private races with the packs that are in the store, and there is something you need to know about the setups
I found that I'm a bit slower than some, due to some understeer, yet i see people flying off left and right, so I generally believe that you need the understeer to stay alive when your hyper focus is dropping off throughout the race.
TC values are very low in every LMU pack, as this helped me to rotate the car a bit under acceleration, yet when I'm in a race, I tend to forget that the TC is so low, and I have some dangerous moments in my races.
Should I change the TC in all the packs to a safe value?

They changed the tire model but neglected to compensate the fixed set ups. This is a major mistake. I used your latest LMGT3 set ups, the free ones, and they work. Of course I tweaked just a little for my own style, but LMU should just use those for the defaults. Your work is very much appreciated!
Yeah, and still I think they should give players an option, safe or aggressive. like some other sim that used to attract a lot of players
I think if I had to pick one track to use as the baseline for ‘fixing’ the murderous GT3 tires/setups, it would be Fuji. No other track wrecks you like that track, especially in the last few corners. I am Coach Dave Delta subscriber, and even their “safe” setup in the 296 GT3 has me walking on eggshells trying to turn and put down the power, and your free ‘safe’ default you released improves that but understeers so badly everywhere I’m having a hard time getting under 1:43. I dropped Brake Bias to 52 and that’s about the best I can get with it.
That just tells me the tire model is currently pushed too far in general. What also stands out is that I’ve never had this many people from the community sign up for free setups before. I’ve been doing a lot of test races with my own store setups, and it's clear: you either go with an understeery setup and survive, or you risk a twitchy setup and spin the moment you drop the ball. Another thing that feels off is how the longitudinal and lateral grip behave now. For example, you get loads of lateral grip on throttle. When the wheel is straight, you can run super low TC and it still hooks up fine. But the moment the car has just a bit of slip angle and you ask for longitudinal grip, you're gone. It's like the tire can't produce both at the same time anymore. You either get 20 percent or 80 percent or you spin. There's no blend, no in between.
Im happy to adjust to suit my driving,(which is bad) 😂😂but a lot better with your setups arnout
I think safe presets give a level playing field for beginners and experienced players. More experienced players will more often have a better understanding of how a car will behave if they experiment with the TC as they drive and so could change it to suit each car/track combo.
I might even consider a special guide to the product itself as you have multiple variety parameters to it
