Yes, I am new
Now, I've played a few "sims" (or what claim to be sims) before, mostly game-like, such as the gran turismo series, enthusia, etc. I am new to LFS and I can't figure out how to work some cars.
In the hatchback (X-something?) or especially in the lower end turbo RWD cars, I seem to be fine when doing ok, but once I mess up, it's all over, and the game seems to lose touch with reality and go into "tires have no tread or grip" mode.
Why is that? I can soften up the rear suspension and control the massive amount of oversteer somewhat, but once I lose a wee bit of traction in a turn, say understeer, I just lose all control, either countersteer too fast or too slow no matter what I do, and end up pulling off 3 complete turn arounds while going above 40-50mph.
Can anyone give me some pointers to help me out? I know I'm used to the games where TCS ABS ACS (I think those are the correct letters..) etc are my best friend.
