Physics discussion thread

I'm just trying to do this as correctly as possible in my area of expertise, in ways that are accessible to me and most players...And to do this, I suggested on the forum that other players conduct a test under the same conditions. This is the simplest test, I think you understood it perfectly =)

 

I have got no idea what your talking about, but I just know that such a test will become irrelevant in time .

 

Okay, I totally get it.

 

Those "tests" only make sense if they are made in controlled environments. If you ask 3 different drivers for their opinion of handling you'll get 4 different answers and won't get any conclusions. Guaranteed.

No sim out there is anywhere near real physics due to huge computing power required to calculate various things hundreds of times per second, whereas real physics are dynamic all the time.

Just choose your poison and enjoy the driving where you like it the most and live happily ever after

 

That reminded me of a older video from RaceBeyondMatter where he was talking about ABS in context of iRacing where you don't want to lean on too much even with the ABS activating, you end up having understeer with the amount of load on the fronts kinda fluctuates while ABS is doing it's thing.

IRL, I have understood you tend to want to lean on the ABS a bit more and use that benefit on something like GT3 to be able to both slow down and also turn at the same time (at least some) with benefit of not locking up. I wonder if you lower the ABS setting on AMS2 (it's quite high on default on all cars), you that help with some of the issue on cars with ABS.

 

there’s different systems for race cars vs street,
And knowing how my own road cars behave under abs activation, they don’t slow up as fast as they would be without activation that doesn’t lead to locking.
The Abs system actively releases brake pressure to avoid locking in a pulsing fashion , it is just a pump actuator.
This is counterintuitive to peak stopping performance, but still better than locking and going straight on into an obstacle with speed not reducing of course, and stopping a few meters later than perfect with abs is still a better outcome in an emergency.
your not worried about making an apex then .
