ive read alot and i try to understand the tuning and it goes “ok” when i tune…
1 problem i got now is to know when the car is at its “best possible tune” i mean i keep tuning but how to know when i “nailed” it ?
can i see it somehow on the telemetry like on the tire temp etc? prolly stupid question but i hope u understand what i mean hehe
If you’d like some help…it would be good to have a couple of more details. What car, class, and track are you tuning for? If you want to share your tune, the community would certainly provide you with feedback. What are your trying to achieve (lap time improvements, etc…)? What issues are you currently experiencing with your build and tune? Do you have the right build for the track? etc…
Thing is i dont know what the right tune for the track is i go between B-A
For example i try to tune the RUF yellowbird A class. whatever i tune on it its like undrivable on the nurburgring, the steering is so slow that when i go fast and try to steer at any direction it hits the wall :S
To Swerve’s point, the car selection per track/class maybe your issue if you are not happy with your lap times and/or tune. If you want to stick and learn to tune on Nurburgring, then, look at the LB list of top cars per class. Then, build and tune one of those cars and start from there. Take a first pass at a tune and see how it feels (per Swerve’s point…“fits you like a glove”). If you want to stay with the RUF Yellowbird, AND, the same track. I’ll build something up which you can use as a compare.
You’ll know when a car is tuned well when it fits you like a glove. A good tune varies based on taste to a degree in that some like them neutral, others stiff and others loose.
If the tune feels good but is too slow it may be due to using too much downforce or the build needs revision.
Start camber at -3/-3. That’ll help with slow steering response for some cars.
The top leaderboard cars on most tracks have to much power for their own good so tcs is there to keep it on the track. I personally have used tcs for a long time and have no problem using it but I have turned it off a couple months back and don’t plan on turning it on again. The RUF Yellow bird is a very hard car to tame so to start i would change cars if you’re willing. I like driving no aero tunes around there like the saleen, Ford GT, and viper 13 just because hitting 210 on the back stretch and passing everybody is a blast in A class. The downhill braking zone after the stretch is a 50/50 chance of survival going that fast so pucker up and hold on lol. If u have questions on a tune send me a message and then a party invite and I can give u a hand if you would like.
im gonna try the saleen :=) also are u using normal steering or simulation? i see on replays that the steeering wheel in cockpit view is kinda “smooth” so i guess they are using a steering wheel ?
I’d recommend that you look in the HW section to get some tips on the TX wheel since you’ll need to make sure you get to a point when you can drive pretty good with it. Most folks go thru a learning curve on the wheel itself, let alone, trying to also tune at the same time. So, you might want to focus on one at a time.
Not every car is suitable for all tracks and you will drive every car different, there are many ways to properly built and tune but it all depends what you are going for. Whether its handling or speed or alittle bit of both also if you use a controller versus a wheel your tune will not be the same. Im not a MASTER tuner by any means but i can hold my own, the hard part is understanding what your car is doing. Good luck.
i dont have a wheel but from what i understand you got to “tune” the wheel itself. sensitivity, dead zones. and ive heard that its hard to get used to at first
