Smoothness does matter actually, it's how I've driven most of the time. Too violent with simulation steering and you're just going to spin....
"I did what I did for the good of the realm." "The realm? Do you know what the realm is? It's the thousand blades of Aegon's enemies, a story we agreed to tell each other over and over until we forget that it's a lie." "But what do we have left once we abandon the lie? Chaos? A gaping pit waiting to swallow us all?" "Chaos isn't a pit, it's a ladder. Many who have tried to climb it fail, never get to try again. The fall breaks them. Some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse, they cling to the realm. For the gods, for love. Illusions, only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is."

I found with the wheel and this game I have to be aggressive on turn in just to build tyre temperature then be gentle with it on the apex and exit.

I find when I drive it smooth the front tyres don't heat up so I try to attack at the apex more which just causes the rears to over heat making me drive even more slowly generating even less front tyre temp.

So, so far I just drive just a little like this, really attack the breaking and turn in point carry little apex speed due to lots of front brake bias, smoothly out of the corner using the throttle to turn the car because the front tyres won't.

Do any other wheel users find a lack of front grip/tyre pressure? or do I need lessons from michael and rucksack!

i dont use wheel so i dont know if there is a difference but with a controller there can be a difference if you do quick laps to doing a certian pace round a track as the tires start to loose some grip the car can get a bit slidey if you push it too hard..

When using simulation steering (as everybody does at home) it is effectively more understeery....I've never played that much with sway bars and tire pressures but you can bring it back to neutral. I don't crank the wheel on turn-in, neither does Ruckus !

Yeah, if you crank the wheel too much you're gonna "over-turn" and the front tyres will just slide... You can feel when you're about to do that with FFB :)

About front tyre heat, well I don't seem to have any problems with that... Maybe it's a setup issue ?

And by the way, if you're interested, a GT2 car uses 540° of rotation for the steering (assuming you have the CSR)

Well that's strange, I couldn't paint in FM3 but now I'm actually interested in creating more vinyls, I created a Dunlop logo that I'm pretty proud of.

Gonna be controversial, and say that it could have possibly been Shakespeare's wife who wrote them, and he stole them!

This. I am terrible at this game at the moment, I almost have to "unlearn" the old handling and then learn the new physics completely. -_-

Just be manly about it. You don't have to 're-learn' how to drive or change your driving style, you just have to do what you do well. If you naturally are very smooth then what good is forcing yourself to be abrupt with the car going to do? Its just going to make you slower, you can still attack the track if you are smooth, likewise you can still be controlled if you are aggressive. Changing to a way of driving that you aren't comfortable with will not get you anywhere! Trust me!

I'd like to sing a song about this, but I won't, I will just post this up:

I know where you're coming from Solo. I don't think I'm any worse than I was in the Prototypes but in GT (and pretty much anything lower than R1) I'm terrible. I used to be maybe 1 - 2 seconds off the top GT guys in FM3 but now I reckon it's more like 3 - 4 seconds. :P

Not that it really bothers me though becasue my painting has improved a shedload now. I think I enjoy painting now more than driving. :P

Although, I have a little item at home that, when I've had a chance to play with and set up properly, might improve my driving slightly. :shifty:
