[D2D] Open Sourced Sauces

Thats Great, especially as you are enjoying the game more now. :slight_smile:

There are still some frustrating aspects but the stuff I can put in I am definitely enjoying a lot more.

Even if I end up losing to the AI for one reason or another, I’m glad that my lap times are improving, my confidence is building, and I’m getting better at tuning the cars.

Can’t wait to make my own tunes and then compare them to the ones you have for identical cars. :slight_smile:

If its anything I can help you with, shoot me another PM.

Has definitely helped me. I am still tweaking my Hyundai Genesis build with the advice he gave after driving the car. So far I have been able to shave 3 secs off my lap time by making the car handle better.

Thanks D2D!

Will give these a spin.

One question though… Why the larger front rim size in front like on the Boss Mustang?

On the Audi Avant I submitted the changes that Dust implemented shaved 3 or 4 seconds off of the time when he raced it. I took from that and made some changes to some of the career mode cars I had been using, drove a bit better, and instantly went from fighting for 3rd to winning every race.

You’re welcome.

2 reasons.

1: Added weight brings the PI down.
2: Stops the tyre flex, increased response.

The mustang is one of those cars where you steer it with the throttle, not with the front tyres, so to speak.

Larger rims are unsprung weight technically, but I am not sure that the game accurately differentiates between sprung and unsprung weight. In any case, they often result in a weight increase so they can bring the PI down allowing you to add something else as well.

Larger Rims also mean less sidewall on the tire itself as long as you are trying to maintain a similar side profile, which Forza does, and this can result in less tyre flex, better handling, and better response. If you’re racing on the track and avoiding kerbs you can use the larger rims to your advantage. If you are racing mostly off-road then you may want a slightly smaller rim so you can get more sidewall and have a larger “cushion” in the tire. As always, it’s finding the right balance of which size rim works best for the application you’re using and is this the compromise you want your car to have for this situation.

In real life, not in Forza, larger rims also mean you can fit in larger brakes.

Thanks for these, they are really helpful.

Thanks for awesome sauces!! Look forward to running them soon

@J, Red5tar, swtluu21.

No problem, anytime. Enjoy.

Tracker updated with new tune.
This one is more of a build due to the class and how much power it has. Use the throttle to steer. :wink:

Will have to try a few of these out.

S2000 is awesome. Top 20 at Road Atlanta Club.

Looking forward to building and trying out the others.

@ Dust2Death Aaahhh… Okay. Got it. Did you Pre-order? If so, from where I might have something for u depending on ur answer. Just to say thx.

@ PPi Drive Yeah it’s too bad I already submitted my car as it is much improved. Im trying to get there max time I can get out of it through tuning to confirm I understand what he explained. Then I’ll try his next suggestion which was looking at the parts selection for the optimal build for the track. I think I am learning because the RX7 I am currently working on handles well but it’s still not enough to break me into top 10s.

I didnt preorder. I just grabbed a copy when it came out.
I still got the Anniversary pack and a WRX and BMW codes.
Anyhow, thanks. :slight_smile:

Had the C Mazda out in C ghost lobby this morning ,
It was great !

Sadly I ran out of talent to take it to a first place ,
But at least I was competitive for a change !

Im pleased you like sir.

A new Tune for you all has been added to the tracker. This car isnt the easiest to drive. Throttle control is required. If you can master this car, you will be able to drive anything.

Ok. I might have something 4 u when I get to my cpu at home and take the stang for a spin.

Built and drove the 69 stang. I’m no missile car guy, but that thing is surprisingly easy to drive. Well done sir.
