I have the feeling that when I drive over (by mistake) sticky parts of the track (e.g. cutting a corner or going very wide), the car becomes uncontrollable. It feels like the TCS (which I have enabled) does not exist, and instead even a partial gas gives fast wheel spinning, and the car is very eager to spin. I think the effect is more noticeable on tarmac sticky areas than grassy ones.
I was wondering if I am the only one having the feeling that something is wrong in the physics?
Something wrong with the physics of sticky areas? Sticky grass and tarmac, in themselves, are meant to defy the laws of physics in order to force you to race the track properly. Of course it isn’t realistic.
Race drivers race the tracks properly as we do try also but being human mistakes are made. Forza should go the realistic route and bring Penalties in rather than the awful sticky grass.
I don’t want to start again the discussion on whether sticky areas are fair or not, or there is a better way to do it.
Also, maybe I did not explain myself. I know sticky areas cannot be physically real, however I feel that they should just limit the speed: instead, they make the car uncontrollable, with wheels spinning all the time even on low gas, and with TCS enabled.
When I hit a sticky area at high speed, my car slows down almost immediately - fair enough. But when I then start to accelerate, even gently, I almost every time get into a spin. This does not happen on non-sticky tarmac, even at the same low speed.
I can say without a doubt I’ve never lost control in a sticky area, due to the obviousness of it being sticky. The only time I’ve lost it is a high speed and getting two wheels off track and in grass thats not sticky or going over the raised corners on a few tracks.
You should spin out if your wheels are on grass and you are trying to turn? Not sure what you are asking. The sticky areas are there to prevent people from say going perfectly straight through S-turns and just mowing the lawn. If you don’t turn, you don’t spin, so they made the areas sticky.
