The online racing simulator
differential and realism and perhaps how i drive =)
hi everyone, i love lfs and the community and the constant mods/apps ppl are making =)
my question is when i drive my fbm using the clutch pack with the %locking and preload, the back end seems to be more smooth when compared to that when i use the vicous lsd. when i use the vicous lsd it goes in loose then it locks (then i understeer) then it losesns again, so basically it does a about 3 to 5 degrees twtich. does that happen in real life?
and how can i make it better, i get better times using the vicous lsd becoz its more loose compared to the clutch pack (no matter wht i do it doesnt give me the same lose/sticky ratio as in the vicous) but lately when i altered my driving style slighty to adjust to the lsd its better it twitches less but its still there. can someone kindly tell me whts wrong
i dont know much about visc diff, but i think you are saying that the car seems abit understeery with the clutch pack, a quick summary.

increase power locking more on power oversteer
increase coast locking more entry understeer
increase preload more understeer mid corner
Viscous LSDs never lock. They can't transfer torque with out slip.

In theory, the "twitch" happens, but it should get balanced really soon. Post your spr so we can see if it has something to do with your driving.
well yes the twitch only occurs for only slight ammount of time maybe less than 0.5s but its not the twitch that i dun like, its how i judge my corner entry, when i turn in its really poise and direct, then it kinda twitches into understeer so apply more steering, then it normals out. i feel that its making my already awkward driving more awkward. im not the smoothest driver but i want to try and improve the smoothness to make the car glide rather than it be jittery.
i will try to make a reasonable replay that i am not ashame to post
i can spot alot if issues, and this is not my best lap, and i seem to think that the twitch is actually less than it is when i first got the set, it seems to me that braking seems to be more of an issue thant the diff itself whatever the issue maybe i hope that one of you driving gods can tell me how i can improve my lap

Quote from carey :Do you ‘blip’ the throttle on downshifts? Ultimately I find it a bit slower (or faster than continually correcting the rear end is if that’s how you want to look at it) but it does help with stability.

no i dun blip, well even if i knew how to i couldnt becoz i use a crappy wheel with combined a axis so it doesnt work.
