I’m on the last series of the career mode and I cannot,for the life of me control the Lotus. The turning is way too sensitive and I’m hoping some of you great people can give me some,pointers.
Throttle control is key in gears 1-4, as well as being quick on the gear shifts to maximise the acceleration you get out of the car. Once you get to fifth gear though you can more or less full throttle it until the next turn though.
Alter the setup. A little understeer on a car you might find tricky blunts the outright handling and performance, but speed is largely confidence, you’ll probably go faster
Do you have simulation steering on and are you racing with a steering wheel? Try turning sim steering off and let us now
I’m using a controller with normal steering.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought it’s recommended not to use simulation steering with a controller.
Perhaps if you told use your setting?
TCS? STM? Clutch? Auto Clutch?
I would recommend with a controler to use TCS and Auto Cutch. This car for sure looses performance IMO with Manual clutch.
That might be because humans can’t function fast enough. The last figure I saw was that F1 cars change gears in 0.05 seconds.
I found controlling the E23 to be all but impossible on Nordschleife. I just switched car classes (to 70’s Grand Prix) I ran the 1976 Ferrari #1 312 T2 very comfortably to a podium finish on my first try. I highly recommend it.
It is true however that there is a Showcase event with the E23, so I at some point I will have to get back, hopefully on an easier track.
I’m using manual w no clutch, tcs and stm. The handling,is just too damn sensitive.
Oh, so you’re referring to the handling meaning steering sensitivity… correct?
Using a pad I’m not sure what to do then, because they’re is no speed sesitivty adjustment under advanced control setup… is they’re for pad users?
Sorrry for my misunderstanding, handling could mean many things.
Good Luck… RK
Like I said, try cutting the amount of revs you put into the car in the first four gears, there’s a sweet spot that lets you gain speed without losing control entirely. Honestly though this is standard fare for any high-horsepower, low-weight supercar.
I’d say take it for a test drive on a simple course like Catalunya and get a feel for it there without any competition. You’ll start to familiarise yourself with how much you can squeeze the throttle without losing control.
Thanks for the advice guys and sorry,for not being,more specific. This car just STEERS too well, maybe I’ll mess around with the advanced settings for the controller. I’ll get it down eventually,
I knocked up a tune for you while I was messing around. It aint gonna be setting laptimes in the hands of pros, but it makes the turn in more progressive for sure if you have difficulty with snap of the car and should be better on the bumpier circuits like Nurburgring.
not something i suggest doing in terms of a good tune. really just take the time and learn the car, things just happen very fast. but if you must, give the car some negative front toe, this will slow the front end of the car down a bit. Are you having trouble with spinning out when exiting the corner or just generally driving the car? the car requires rediculous quick reactions. I dont suggest going to a track you dont already know in this car, atleast not until you know how the car is going to react in most scenarios.
My advice to you is to turn on TCS and STM and set drivatars to novice and play it trough to proceed, it’s not worth even trying, it is the worst simulation of a car I ever experienced.
Did the same, you can always try again later on a higher difficulty. And try setting all the deadzones off the controller on 0 and 100.
I can’t say I have driven an F1 car unfortunately but I have driven lightweight single seaters on slicks with downforce. They feel like nothing else, especially when you start to feel signficant downforce which 99.9 percent of people have never actually experienced in a car before. They can be twitchy, they are incredibly responsive and they do veer off when you so much as cough. An F1 car must be like that times 1000, they are hard to drive.
A more progressive tune will ease you in and then you can dial it back to neutral as you go. Give it a go, it’s only what professionals and amateurs alike do- seeking out a comfortable base setup and going from there to look for more speed if needed
