thanks for all the responses gentlemen, i finally found the issue. it wasn't with my setup or even the way I drove, it was with the controller itself.
A while ago I bought a cheap, second hand logitech G29. I had only used it once before while playing GT and it worked like a charm..recently after university exams i started playing again but this time i tried it on for LFS. and ever since then i had been having issues with steering which i though was as issue with the game. Turns out there's an issue with the controller itself.
I found this issue today when i decided to play GT again. I was sliding all over Spa... when i found out it was the same issue as with lfs.
Either hectic understeer or when i tried turning hard, it would oversteer and spin out. The issue is funny because i've never encountered it before. the wheel turns normally uptill a certain point, after which it maxes out (this happens for both Left and Right corners). Anyways, so I tried playing with my old logitech momo wheel and it worked like a charm! NO understeer and NO spin outs
Thanks once again for your responses. It's really nice to see so many people responding to what was such an amateur mistake.
BTW: My times have drastically improved. First time, on blackwood with the FBM and i reached 1:19. I know its not that fast as compared to you all but i'm getting there.
Cheers legends.
Prost!
PS. How do I upload a video as a reply?

Help [Beginner] Hectic Understeer
I've been trying to complete just one lap around the blackwood with the fbmw. I don't usually comment on forums or even log into my account, but this issue of insane understeer has been driving me up the walls [pun intended]
I am not new to simulators, have played GT [Pro] and rF2. i might not know as much about car setups as some of the legends on here, but that doesn't mean i dont have any basics. I recently started playing LFS and loved it. The only issues i've been facing are understeer and spin outs. I know that the car can take so much more speed through the corner, and it feels like everytime i play with other AI, they seem to negotiate corners much faster than i can. [even on beginners they catch upto me]
It also feels like I just cant seem to take any curbs. It is almost effortless how the car just **** spins out. sometimes it happens mid turn as well.... sometimes while even coming into a turn. I've seen some of the players on youtube take those curbs like they don't exist. What am I doing wrong/.
The setup is use is default. I saw this guy finish blackwood with fbm around 1:15. I downloaded his setup, used it and my times didn't improve. the car still felt the same.... understeer-y and sliding all over the place.
Is there something basic i'm missing out? Any help from you is much appreciated... especially since i really want to start playing lfs seriously.
cheers
