I see, so does that mean he has had a promotion or demotion, lol

 

Not having to deal with the riffraff like us on the forums seems like a major promotion.

 

Here are the correct gear ratios for some of the cars that have them simulated wrong in the game

Audi R8 GT4
Audi Uk

Aston GT4


Merc-AMG GT3


Porsche GT3 R 991


Porsche GT3 R 992


BMW GT3

 

Are those gear ratios the same between IMSA, WEC and GT Challenge?

 

(And Império Endurance Brasil.)

 

Something that’s been bothering me for a while is the sensitivity of the gas pedal you simply can’t accelerate smoothly at all especialy in the JCW and I tried all the sensitivity settings, but they didn’t make much of a difference. So I tried ACC in a GT4 class car—no problem with accelerating—then tried AMS2 again, also in the same GT4 class car. And once again, the gas pedal on/off switch—the handling in GT4 in AMS2 is still like an ice rink with way too little grip. For now, I’m giving AMS2 a rest until I read somewhere that this handling issue has been resolved, and especially the gas pedal on/off switch.

 

Have you seen this video?
If not, it has an excellent explanation on real throttle behavior and how AMS 1 (and 2 I think) are about the only sims that get it right.

In short. You only need a little bit of throttle to get most of the torque. In most sims you need to smash the throttle pedal to get the car moving, but that is just not realistic

 

Yes I known that video, but the on/off switch throttle is annoying and I have this strange throttle behavior only with AMS2, Not in AMS1 or AC or ACC or raceroom.

 

Reason to this might also be that ACC simulates throttle response curves with ECU settings. Setting 1 often is linear while settings 2-4 are non-linear. Just like in any modern car with different drive modes, where throttle and power steering sensitivity, ABS and TC setting change a lot ranging from ECO to Track setting.

The problem with GT4 class in AMS2 might have another reason, since the class still suffers a lot from that old excessive throttle oversteer issue that plagued the GT3 class for a long time (and still does, to a lesser extend).

 

It's odd that you write that AMS2 behaves differently from AMS1 in this regard, since they should be more or less the same when it comes to the throttle response curve, and to me they feel like they behave in the same manner. So maybe what you're referring to is something else, maybe related to driver aids (Traction Control, etc.)
