Physics discussion thread

I suspect this "floaty" feeling you're decribing is more than likely FFB related. I don't think the cars are floaty. The term "floaty" IRL is used to describe a car that is lazy to inputs, basically you turn the wheel and chassis takes a while to react, turn in and settle. A lot of stock productions cars when taken to the track are "floaty" due to a combination of softer suspension, safer alignment and low grip tires.

Perhaps you're just expecting some FFB effect you get from AMS1 or AC that you're not getting from AMS2? I've come to learn that there are 2 kinds of FFB implementations in:
1. One that simulates the effects on the tires, not as realistic but has a lot of additional FFB effects (which I assume is what AC and AMS1 uses).
2. One that simulates the effects on the steering column, while more realistic lack a lot of FFB effects (which what games like iRacing and ACC use).

I really wish people would stop using the term "floaty" and just say the FFB is not as communicative.

 

Agreed the default TC setting of 6 is too high for advanced drivers.

Speaking of GT3 TC in different games, apparently ACC has the most realistic TC implementation. The one in LMU is supposedly unrealistic as all GT3 cars don't have TC1, TC2 and TC3. Also not all GT3s have TC1 and TC2, some may only have TC1. Honestly, I think the Reiza's resources could be better spent in other aspects of the game that need improvement over trying to model hyper realistic TC settings for all the different GT3 cars. Personally I'm content with the current TC implementation in AMS2.
