Is something going to be done to fix the P550’s broken physics?
Or is silly reverse physics just the new meta. It has totally broken E-B class.

What’s broken about it?
I’m not asking sarcastically or cynically - I’m genuinely curious about specifics because something doesn’t smell right about this car, but I don’t know exactly what it is.
With certain tuning values you can dramatically increase the top speed and average corner speed. And This type of setup makes no sense in the way it behaves. It Squats under braking and dives when accelerating. WTH.
And they way it needs to be driven is counter intuitive. The more you make it want to slide and loose traction the more it grips up and goes faster.
Go and watch the friction telemetry on one of the top rivals times. It will have you scratching your head as to in what universe this is possible.

Yes, I downloaded someone else’s tune some time ago that did this, but I could not see what the settings were since downloaded tunes are locked.
Those types of shenanigans are one of the main reasons why I almost exclusively only ever use my own tunes.
I’d like to know what those specific tuning settings are. Hopefully, the more the problem goes public, the greater the urgency will be for the studio to fix it.
I assumed it was just some sort of tuning imbalance they’re not likely to fix (considering other longstanding balance issues), but if it’s a bug there’s hope if we can pinpoint it.

There’s loads of it about.
Picaso who does a lot of top tunes discovered one for the Honda Integra that gives mega grip and drive out of the corners. He put a sample video In discord showing the difference and it’s mega.
Fortunately he’s a good enough guy to not use this exploit other than to show people how broken it can be… Hopefully they fix this but probably not.

There has been a tuning exploit on the Porsche for months now that t10 has still yet to fix
Multiple people have tried to tell mods / devs about it but still nothing has been done
I really hope every 550 time gets cleared from rivals but t10 doesn’t seem to care
Max rear ride hight / max rear camber / soft springs and some crazy brake bias make the car pull WAY more g’s then it should be able to

Yep, I told them months ago before it caught on too. This can’t be what they intended.

It started with the brands hatch update.
It effects cars that already had an issue, when you lowered them, it would add toe to the rear wheels. (This was discovered on forza motorsport 7, seemas like a few items are not built from the ground up, lol)
When they added brands hatch, they also did a change to grip levels, and by doing so, created this issue.
Im going to say how its done, as lower class lobbies are now wrecked, so it cant really make anything worse.
So lower the front to minimum, and raise the rear to maximum. This activates the “glitch”
The greater the distance between the front and rear height, the bigger the speed increase will be, per click.
So, maxing the offset, anti squat, will give you a few km/h in top speed, for each one you max out.
Rear springs, the lower you go the more top speed you will get.
Rear camber, will increase top speed to a point.
And rear toe, -0.8 is around the point, each click can increase top speed by a few kms/h.
Basically, your rear wheels are running at a 45 degree angle, and it makes you faster, and tire wear doesnt seem to effect it either.
Tthe pirsche speedster, gordini, datsun 510 (only slight increase) and a few others are alk in the same boat, and can be glitched. But none of these cars were in the top 3 or 4 fastest cars in the lower classes, like the 550 is.
After a few people shared the glitch version, it totally wrecked online lobbies.
I had one yesterday, there were 9 550’s, against me in the cosmo, and every one that i got close to tried to wreck me. Seems like every exocet driver has a porsche 550.
Lower classes are dead to me ti this gets fixed

I’ve discovered it works no other cars but just not as good as the 550.

Thank you - hopefully shining more light on it publicly will bring enough attention to the problem that fixing it becomes a higher priority.

What this screams to me is that their physics engine is broken at a core level and could never account for the values some cars can tune to.

Physics engine was broken at the core level from day one. Phtaaat to all those FM8 lovers praising the great physics of the game. Yes, it’s different than FM7 and FM6. But it isn’t better, just different. Still broken in some of the same areas and in some different areas and maybe better in a few areas.
As far as posting the glitch setup, I hope it sets a fix in motion. But I hope it doesn’t encourage players to use the setup.

Sure! If they can fix the money glitch so fast then they can surely fix another glitch that gives cheater’s an unfair advantage right?…. right?

Wrong! They don’t care about cheaters unless they’re cheating on getting more credits. You can cheat on races, that’s ok. Just don’t cheat on credits.

bump
save the game
save the lower-class lobbies
save the rivals boards
if you can’t be bothered to fix it then pull the car. simples

I was in an E-class Featured Multiplayer lobby a couple nights ago with some rando who was driving the Porsche 550 Spyder…
…and they were actually genuinely talking smack over their mic about winning in their meta car on race tires against my Mk1 GTI on sport tires - as if their victory was entirely attributable to nothing but “sKiLL.”
Give me a break, brochacho. Drive what you want, but don’t run your mouth when you bring artillery to a pillow fight.
Don’t be that guy.
You know who you are.

They way things are, I wouldn’t be surprised if instead of fixing the issue T10 will make it a spotlight car and run a rivals competition for it.

Or instead of fixing it (which they probably can’t or won’t do) they just remove it from the game.

The issue is actually runs deeper than just the one car unfortunately. The P550 just amplifies the problem because of its other meta attributes aswell.
