![Are You Using The Throttle all WRONG? [Sim Racing]](/img/n.gif)
Just to answer a few questions (I'll reply to each of you on Friday);
Brake Balance: Is going to be covered in cornering, this is literally all about braking into a corner.
Engine Braking (Gear changing): Is going to be covered in cornering as well, as it's very significant on a per corner basis :)!
Thanks bud. I just don't really understand it. Some info on what works best for what cars would be great and how it works too lol. Loving the vids mate
Would you say that really successful trail brake depends more on a set of quality pedals and the input its given, or is it just a matter of trying not to panicky slam 100% on the brakes?
I mean, im not exactly new to simracing but ... some of these guys on gt sport are ridiculously fast through the corners, like laguna seca for example... Im getting a feeling, since i cannot set any pedal sensitivity at all (unlike on pc) that some of these guys might have an advantage by simply playing on a more decent pedal set - even when driving the same cars. Sure some of it is propper trailbraking and good consistency, but after about two months in on my g29, im thinking on simply just upgrading, because the resolution on the pedals is hmm.. how to put this mildly, childish?? Im sure you could shave off 2-4 seconds per lap by adjusting technique or drive style on a particular track. But to gain 10seconds on a hot lap, I dont know man.. :D
@@teknastyk , I feel your pain. To run what I feel is a great lap only to see my time demolished by 2 seconds is a bit demoralizing. I have a set of Thrustmaster pedals on a PS4. My biggest challenge with them is the lack of travel from off to on. It seems only about a third of the the pedal movement is actually used. This makes "easing" off very difficult as there is such a small window of pedal use. Often, I thought I was letting up only to realize the last half inch or so of the pedal travel is not being used. I added a stop behind the pedals to ensure when I let up, I was actually letting up. I have researched dozens of videos & comments on the subject, but no one seems to have an answer on how to utilize the entire travel distance of the pedals. Thought about upgrading, but I'm not sure it would be any better.
@@scottraines6622 well it depends on the sensor used.. ive seen upgrades for g29 but im not sure about trustmaster. What you are looking for is a loadcell upgrade for your type of pedals. Ive found also that bodner cable for g29 thats suppose to add 2bits more to the resolution of the pedal. Short travel isnt a prob. as much as the potentiometers used. I suggest you search for spring/loadcell upgrade or a different pedal set. Mines are still in warranty and im thinking on selling the whole kit; get something like a fanatec Csl or mybe even sc sport
Oddly seeing the explanation in the spreadsheet was pretty good. It's easy to not consider that the tyres can only do 100%
Are the backs of the cars in front a good substitute for good braking technique?
Indeed they are, and that technique allows you to remove the breaks entirely to shave some weight of the car.
lol xD!
This guy asking the important questions
Trail braking. This is the first time I’ve spent any effort finessing it and I’ve gone from midfield occasional win DR D to win win win DR C. Nice. Thank you.
Hope this helps everyone :D
I'm really glad that you went over the technique of using the throttle while braking. I learned about it from watching Ti-tech's replays back in the day and it helped me so much. I could get away with using some very aggressive brake balance settings because of it :p
I think we both learned it from Ti-tech haha :P! But you're right, super aggressive brake balances are now viable haha xD!
I can't tell you how much this video has helped improve my lap times overall and qualifying in particular. You da man.
It's funny that you referenced Lewis Hamilton talking about his braking technnique. On the GT sport promo he did a few years ago he says he always brakes before cornering, alluding that he doesn't trail brake - but we all know he's hiding his actual technique. Oh Lewis....
I doubt he trail brakes much in an F1 car with no ABS and no traction control. He'll rotate the car using throttle inputs...
Iv started to rewatch this series as I’m struggling with going from a pad to a wheel. I’m on average 2 secs a lap slower on a wheel so hoping these will help bring that down or even improve my times 👍
The "always be doing something with the car" comment has really stuck with me and made a huge difference in my driving and lap times, so again many thanks!
That is awesome to hear, it's something when you think about makes perfect sense :D!
I recently purchased this in offer on PS store. Your guide will really help me. I’m a worse player as of now. Let me apply the learning. Much appreciated.
I've not long started playing GT Sport and my better half has bought me a T150 for Christmas. I have friends that have been playing this since it came out who keep getting 3,4 or even 5 seconds faster times than me on the daily races. This video made a lot of sense about a lot of things I had never considered. Will definitely be watching this series probably more than once haha thank you 👍
Absolutely no problemo :D! I hope you are enjoying GT Sport :)!
This video was amazing! Hard to understand at first until you discussed 100% of the car! I watched it and then ran a few laps in this weeks C and man game changer and once I really get used to it I already know my lap times will sky rocket! Thanks dude! Keep em
Coming!!
Awesome to hear mate :D! Ye when you see a car as something with 100% you can start to realise what a car can and what it can't do :D!
Absolutely loved this video. It was the only one I could find that explained breakink in a way you can actually learn how to do it.
Great content, going through the backlog now as I’ve gotten MUCH more into GT lately.
Super knowledgeable and entertaining commentary/dialogue
The throttle while braking is a good technique specially for the top of Mount Panorama before coming down hill. Good way to keep the car straight. It saved me seconds on the lap.
Great video. I never knew about that secret sauce accelerating while braking technique.
Probably also worth mentioning you are (and everyone else is) running ABS on default so you can just brake 100% without thinking about it and it's better than turning it off
Cheers mate and yes you're right default ABS is normally the best :D!
MonkeyMatt Racing thanks for pointing this out specifically. I just switched from weak to default and instantly dropped multiple tenths off my GR3 qualifying at Interlagos. Did end up moving my brake bias further towards as I found it easier to rotate the rear of the car on corner entry. Guess I wasn’t being smooth enough with the brakes with ABS on weak and was inducing some push while trail braking.
Really appreciating this series and looking forward to the next one.
One more aspect, related to braking came to my mind and maybe you will cover this in a later episode:
What i found out, especially this week on Redbull Ring, is the difference it makes, whether you slam your brakes at the braking point, or if you apply braking in a more progressive manner. The latter lets you decelerate much much faster.
Furthermore i feel, that if you don't apply 100% brakes in a straight line, but more like 80% it will take more load off the ABS and help decelerate even faster.
I'm still working this out and don't have it 100% right, so maybe you could slightly cover this topic in another episode :)
That's kind of covered in this episode, I can kind of explain it. So with the last technique where you apply the throttle when braking you're essentially stopping oversteer while braking. If you go from 0 to 100% braking you have more chance of oversteer occurring which will be what is happening. Progressive braking settles the weight, but if you dab the throttle a tiny bit you can get more braking from 0 to 100 than trying to module perfectly 0 to 100. That's also where ABS comes in to try help as well, but it will be that I'm sure.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Brilliant stuff. Can't wait for the rest of the series. Lad.
Cheers mate :D!
Great Video! I definitely need to focus on my trailbraking skills.
PS: as an italian, your pronunciation of "Maggiore" really makes me cringe ahahaah:
Should be "Madge - oh - reh"
PPS: to be fair, I believe the English in my videos might be cringy for you too :|
:D
Oh my word, I am saying that completely wrong hahaha! I'll try to remember that next time :P!
Definitely a weak point for me trail braking. I'm usually all in on the brakes or the accelerator! This video helps a lot.. looking forward to future episodes
Glad it helps mate, and honestly the minute you start and get the hang of it, the times on laps tumble so quick :D!
This was awesome. I already thought I was weird for sometimes using throttle in braking-zones. I never even thought about why I'm doing it. Now I know why it's useful, and not just use it without realizing why I'm doing it instinctively :D Thanks for the lesson :)
Wow I didn’t think these would be so in depth! Love the slow mo side by side comparisons and I appreciate the time+effort that must’ve gone into this👍🏾
Absolutely no problemo :D! Lots of effort going into this school, as I want it to help everyone where I can :D!
Great series......watched it twice. Thanks 4 the knowledge man!
Absolutely no problemo :D!
I wish this tutorial series came out a long time ago back in the GT Academy days! Superb tutorial covering an important fundamental to racing in a very easy-to-understand manner.
Was able to be the top 10 fastest at my local autocross last month in some boring ass fat 2013 Honda Accord all because of trail braking lol.
It was out back in the GT Academy days :D!
Very informative and very well illustrated! Also the references to the driving physics involved helps a lot in understanding why. At the end of the series people will not talk about „Aliens“ anymore but about „really skilled drivers“ 😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers :D! Haha, I think the alien talk will still exist though haha xD!
Hey Tidgney, just watched your vids having heard Kie25 talk about it on one of his vids and it was ace. I went for 10 laps on brands daily race qualifying and went 4 tenths quicker without even really pushing! Thanks mate! Really well explained video and really helpful. One thing I would say is as a beginner, I've only been playing gt for 2 months I also found this braking method much more stable and crashed way less which has been a massive frustration. Might not occur to someone of your ability but would certainly be worth pointing out to us novices. Keep up the good work fella and will look forward to moving through the rest of this series in the coming months.
Awesome to hear!! Hope the videos are helping :D!
They are mate although I'm having to rebuild my SR after the penaltygate. Then I can get back to moving from my current 4-5 seconds behind the fastest to 2-3 seconds behind the fastest. Consistency is definitely better having watched this a fee times and the psychology vid as well.
Thank you very much for this and other driving school videos. Good to see you learnt to tidy up in the background in future videos ;-)
Awesome video man , thanks for all your hard work 🤟
Absolutely no problemo :)!
Absolutely love the video man! Very knowledgeable keep it up!!
Aww Erick cheers mate :D!
Great video, something to practice this bank holiday weekend 👍
Fantastic Video mate, really informative and will now go and test it out. I have been trying it but finding it hard to get the balance right with using a pad as guess my fingers are just a bit to heavy handed.
Using that bit of throttle to help oversteer is amazing and cant wait to try it out.
You have now making me think I should have a go at the school again.
Many thanks again for doing this, the effort you are putiing in is really appreciated.
Cheers for the compliments :D! The driving school, in fact any challenge or licence test in any GT Academy can be useful for really homing in on certain skills. Golds may be much easier now but there's still additional challenges within them :D!
Really nice project this driving school. Thumbs up.
Cheers mate :D!
So I'm actually low A rating and I learnt so much from this video had a tantrum about gt and just came back and this was well helpful
Love how we're on a first name basis with Lewis lol
Your videos are brilliant mate. I've been on racing sims from the first gran turismo and 1st forza, learned so much from you
Very kind mate :D! And yes hahaha, imagine if Lewis has actually raced me you or anyone as he does play GT Sport, would be mind blowing :D!
@@tidgney if we had, he'd be easily enough to spot. Just look for the guy thanking God at the side of the road after every race win lol
I figured this out for myself back in FM3 days. Really helped when driving on a controller and is still helpful in Forza 7 now. Iv always referred to it as "Throttle Braking". I found it is useful if your a "steering tapper" like me. When you have all or nothing steering on a controller it helped keep the car a bit more balanced coming into a corner. It can throw you off however if you go to correct over-steer that isn't there, and when tapping the thumbstick that happens all too often. Never could get the hang of steady steering on a controller tho.
Great video! really breaks it down. Would love to see one all the aspects of slipstream in GT Sport. Especially when it comes to braking in it and the effects it has on fuel and such. Think it could help a lot of newer sim/sim-cade racers out there.
Glad you enjoyed it :D! Ye it's an interesting one, and certainly a hard one to apply on a controller! Slipstream will be making a big appearance in the overtaking episode :)! It'll also re appear as you say in the fuel episode as well :D!
Been waiting for the start of your Driving School! Finally arrived and really please with it! Thank you for you time Tidg!
Excellent! Glad you liked it :D!
@@tidgney How could I not? You are amazing man! Keep it up!
I finally noticed the blippy throttle downshift you guys use. I never noticed that before... I told the wife I'm probably locking the rear every time I downshift.
We don't do that, the game does that automatically :O! Literally if I come down a gear it's literally me braking and going down a gear, not touching the throttle (Unless the cars oversteering)
@Tidgney, thanks so much. After analyzing literally hours of video & replays trying to shave the last golden seconds off my laps, what I've found is it's not my top speed where I lose, it's my bottom speed in the corners. I am consistently 3-5mph slower through the middle of the turns. I'm working diligently to improve this. In the BoP races, it just seems I cannot hold the speed others do as I tend to lose the front wheel grip and was out.
Great stuff! Especially the last part of throttle-braking, definitely going to incorporate that into my racing.
Definitely always worth thinking about if the cars oversteery :D!
Oh shit man that was the most informative explanation EVER! I'm so 100% grateful Tidge, thanks! Subscribed!
Excellent, glad to hear you liked it :D! Welcome to the channel!
Actually learnt something, nice video. Using this throttle blipping technique should unlock the more unstable cars for better laps
Excellent, great to hear it's helped :D!
I learnt that what I was doing is actually right but I don't have the pedal control so I guess I need more practice. Thanks for these videos they are going to help a lot of people I think
Cheers for the comments :D! Practice does help to be honest, I say it to everyone, including myself!
Excellent video. I was struggling with braking and this helped me a lot. Thanks.
The bit about using the throttle while braking, very interesting. It's something I may want to learn.
That is if I can actually be compent with trailbraking first. It's not so much not understanding the idea of it but for whatever reason, my results with it in GT Sport have gone backwards from my GT6 days. I might as well add here my theories in case it helps anyone else as they learn on their own:
- The brake pedal itself: I use a G29 and I just don't like the feel of its brake pedal. There's sometimes a disconnect between the amount I believe I'm applying versus actual. My time with the TGT's brake pedal in Vegas was a struggle but I couldn't shake the feeling I thought my trailbraking was better when I did it right.
- Rolling off the brake pedal: Related to the pedal itself. Common problem I have is not reducing braking pressure enough since the range I have is too small. I lose front grip and understeer off line.
- GT Sport's ABS system: On occasion, I feel like it's doing something that affects braking effectiveness even if I'm using the same braking marker and force.
- Engine Braking: I know you'll cover this later but I have a bad habit of being clumsy with my downshifts while braking.
- Camera View: Right now, I'm using bumper cam. This is problematic in traffic when I literally can't see my braking points.
Look forward to the rest of the videos!
I'm sure you're better at trail braking than you think Outlaw as you've made some finals :D! Braking is the hardest part of GT Sport especially vs GT6, I know a few people who have struggled. I find braking to be the biggest time gainer in this game vs any other GT Game.
Look forward to trying all of this in practice. Thanks for taking the time to do these tutorials.
Absolutely no problem at all, I hope it helps!
Looking at the amount of time gained in one corner from trail braking, I'm assuming it's perfectly possible to gain between one, and two seconds a lap? Dependant on track, of course.
I suddenly feel a bit better about my times, as I currently use the "100% brake, all the time" method.
Because I suck at trail braking on the DS4.
As I'm reading your comment......I'm realizing that my best setups and circuits, I'm always just 1 to 3 seconds away from top 10 leader board in global lap times.
And I had the same epiphany as you. I was sure, the difference was because I use a controller when those people have wheel setups. So I just bought a G29 to try it out. I only have one night of practice with it and I clearly need weeks and months of practice.
But hey, maybe I can try some extra trail braking to make up the time instead of the wheel. The wheel is fun but I'm no where near ready for online races.
It can do depending on the track. The way to look at it is with the old GT Academy times, day 1 everyone always said no-one will go quicker but as the finesse came in and trail braking got more precise for everyone the times tumbled down, down and down. It's one reason I say there's no such thing as a perfect lap as you can always get more precise and a slight bit quicker!
The transition from pad to wheel does take some time, especially in terms of consistency so do keep at it :D!
Great video. These evening I will give it a try. Keep up the good work
Cheers Eric :D!
Started doing these tips recently, and seeing this video really help. Thanks for the videos Tig 😎 👍👍
No problemo :D! Glad it helped :D!
Amazing video! Subscribed 👍 and followed on Twitter.
Will definitely practice this during the weekend. Few questions... do you suggest i complete GT Sport driving school and challenges?
I thought trail braking was braking while accelerating at the same time? I guess i was wrong. Thanks for the driving tips
Cheers for subscribing, welcome to the channel! If you're struggling with anything or really want to improve if you're not A+ I would recommend doing the driving school and challenges and focus on beating friends first then trying to get as close to top 10 times. The thing is it may sound dull and boring but your finesse will increase, and with finesse will come improved lap times else where :)!
Great video. Can’t wait for the next. See you in the final in 12 months time! 😂
Yes! I love this comment, see you in 12 months (If I make it and you don't beat me :D)
I always knew about threshold braking and trail braking. I've never even heard about using throttle to straighten an over-steery car. Although I don't drive road cars that much, I've got to try that out!
Some hardcore simracers go into these points in more detail, like Empty Box, because mastering these techniques can play a huge role on races in more hardcore sims. In GTSport the setups are fixed, and usually very safe, but when you're able to change the car setup, the setups that are faster are also usually harder to drive, and you have to use these techniques to extract all the potential out of them
That's very true, WFG is a good example as I believe the cars were super pointy in that to make the finals which is great for turn in but oversteer becomes a big thing!
Yeah... trail braking on McLaren F1 GTR is a pure torture :)
Great tips thanks keep it going 👍🏾💯
Cheers mate :D!
Thank you, looking forward to the series.
No worries :)!
Fantastic video! Gunna put this into practice!
Great series, keep on the good work! Much appreciated.
Cheers mate :D!
Great video, thank you!
No problemo :D!
New sub. Great content mate. Cheers from Australia. 👍🏼
Thanks for the tips. Took 3 seconds of gr.3 at Monza.
Thanks so much for this. Really appreciate it. Can't wait to try improve my driving and hopefully will end up at that level eventually lol.
Absolutely no problemo :D! Keep practicing, and pushing never give up and anyone can get to the top!
@@tidgney thanks for the reply tidge. 😃😃 keep making the videos dude, absolutely love them. Hope it brings nothing but success man, stay grinding 💪
Nice tidg..been focusing on this thr last couple weeks and my times r geting really good..
Excellent to hear that mate :D!
10x mate, wonderfully explained 🙏🏻
Great video,this will always help people who are new to racing games.😀
I'm not new and it will definitely help me, lol :)
Hopefully it will help everyone :D!
Please could you explain the brake balance on one of your vids. Much appreciated
Brake balance will be coming in episode 3 for you Steve :)! Mainly due to it affecting cornering far more than braking. Although it will appear throughout future episodes after that as well.
Have you done or considered doinga car setup guide. Something very basic that newbies like me could understand what the various suspension and drivetrain settings do and how they will effect the car , their pros and cons.
I think that could be one of your most popular and most viewed videos !!! It would be relevant to all drivers across all different software platforms.
It would get you a lot more likes and subscribes.
Thanks for all your videos brother very entertaining and helpful I hope you can address my setup concerns please and thank you.
I have but I'm really not the best at car setups. Glad you've enjoyed the videos :D!
thank you for this just those few tips helped me shave time awesome work m8
No worries, glad to hear it has helped :D!
I don't have GT Sport, but I figure that these tips will be useful in Forza 7
coasting is alot more effective in forza 7.
Nah, won't help in forza. They don't use brakes over there from what I hear.
Haha, to be honest it will help in any racing game irrespective, mainly because any racing game applies similar techniques it's just how efficient each technique is vs the physics. So as Noxiuz said, if coasting is more effective, then potentially you may have to do that more.
Great vid. It would be good to have an episode to understand more about which corners and car types etc. best suit trail braking. Thanks.
That's an interesting one, I'll keep that in mind!
2021 im stilll trying to improve :) thanks T this will help me 4 sure :)
Cheers boss 👍👍👍👍👍
Very useful video, thanks for these 👌
Absolutely no problemo :D!
Thanks a lot! Well explained! I knew about trailbraking but in never heard about acceleration while braking to get the car more stable.
But you still look for your apex speed? So you just try to brake later and still hit the same apex speed. So the approach is like, brake later, trail brake and sill get the same apex speed.
I don't really look at apex speeds unless I'm at a point where I'm struggling to gain time and compete on the leaderboard, that then identifies any corner I may be having an initial problem with? But ye you're right generally speaking the later you can brake but still slow the car the better :D!
This is exactly what I dream of thank you very much,
Absolutely no problemo :)!
Do you trail brake every corner or does it depend on the shape? Just asking as I love watching your vids and watching the throttle/brake levels and I notice some have very little trail braking. Also....do you ever start turn in with full brake applied?
Very dependant on corner, sometimes you'll only do it a tiny bit, other corners you potentially do it for a long period. You can initially turn if in with full braking, especially for hairpins as you can create the V type of corner, so braking at the start of V 100% get to the point huge turn then straight out
Brilliant. Thanks for posting Tidgney.
Man that was very good, i wish PD could have made "better" the driving missions, i learn more from you at this point...
It would be good to go back to really difficult challenges I feel, it will help push people a bit more.
Thank you for this explanation well done .
Cheers :D!
Trail braking worked so great in nations race!
That is awesome to hear!
Thanx for the vid. As I understand you are using the Fanatec CSL Elite PS4 as well. If you are using LC - which of the 3 resistance-grades in combination with what bfr-setting provides the optimum range for effective trail braking? thanx & cheers uli
I'm using a T-GT at the moment, I stopped using my Fanatec CSL elite awhile ago, unfortunately I can't remember any of my settings either.
@@tidgney fair enough, cheers
Nice
Great stuff. Thanks.
Thank you for the nice lecture.
I have one question. Why is ABS default better than ABS weak? I thought it is quicker with less assist, at least for top drivers. Do you and other top drivers use default all the time?
We all use default. The main reason being ABS weak initially will be better but the minute the wheels lock up you then lose braking efficiency and it becomes worse. Without FFB in the pedals you'll never know if you're locking up or not.
@@tidgney I understand. Thank you for your reply. I am using default now.
Thanks for those videos Tidg.
No problemo
Perfect! Thanks a lot!
Finally 😁 cant wait
Trail braking and standard braking requires two different angles into a corner.. but you used the same angle which benefits trail braking.. i feel like there is a time to use both
To be honest, it's very rare the first way works vs trail braking in any part of GT. I've always trail braked, but I talk about cornering in the next episode. This was just to demonstrate the difference between braking and why trail braking is so good.
Are you going to go in depth with brake bias in another episode or did you just forget? I suspect you'll cover that in a later episode... anyway great job man!
Brake balance will be covered in the Cornering episode and a few more after, but mainly the cornering episode :)!
I was wondering if you had taken the corner with the maximum speed.
Thanks for all the videos, it's amazingly helpfull, i've been a GT fan since the first one and i discover that i can still learn how to be faster, closer from these "Aliens" ;)
There something tho, i got the T-GT but i'm not a left foot braker, i wish i was cause sometimes i would like to trail brake just a tiny bit or just tap the brakes for a split second to settle the car, but the time to switch from one pedal to another makes the all thing not worth it.
I've tried it but i feel so clumsy and not consistent, and also the playseat configuration doesn't help because the trunk is on the way between my left foot and the brake pedal so i wonder if it's a thing i should really consider going for and practice much more (i'm considering swapping the clutch and brake pedal to have the brake right under my left foot) because right now i can't do the throttle brake technique either!! ;)
I'm also asking the question to you all wheel users, did you go straight for left foot braking?
Thanks for your insights
Ye right foot braking isn't the best, although Akagi does do that, kinda of insane to watch to be honest with you! I went straight to left foot braking when I got a wheel.
@The Nervous Buddha yes that helps 😁
Actualy after missing GTS for about a week i though this break would be a good opportunity to stick to it, and i think i can do it, but i don't really feel the resistance from the brake pedal anyway (no mod) so i might try the clutch one by swapping the connection inside... I did all my time trials in dailys today with left foot braking and i feel good about them so we'll see !
Hi Tidgney, thanks for your videos. I have a question...actually two. You can't apply trailbranking while doing a chicane, can you? And also, while you're on a controller you can't brake and acelerate at the same time...at least I can't. Braking always overpowers the throttle while playing with DS4. Thank you looking forward to more videos.
Hey Pedro! You can apply it in a chicane, but of course it will be really reduced as you're steering a lot during it :). It really depends on your controls whether you can brake/accelerate. Personally yes you're right you can't with what I would use which is the sticks, but their are additional pad driving aids in the background which should help with oversteer issues :)!
Hey tidgney thank you so kuch for the series. One question i have is: am i supposed to try and trail brake in every corner than requires brakes? So you're saying standard braking is pointless? Thanks again man
So in terms of trail braking, if you have to brake in a corner, then I would look to trail brake in the vast majority! This is because you want to maintain as much speed as possible (Extended the braking zone means longer at full throttle :D). The only time you wouldn't is if it compromises an exit to much.
@@tidgney thanks again bro
Well done mate, this is a great help to all please don't stop you have my full support.
salsoulrecords - ps4 on TGSports and Asseto Corsa.
chears...
@TidgneyRacing Hey . I sometimes see some really fast guys braking for just a split second some point before a corner, then lift off the brake and down shift, then they go into the corner with just steering while engine rev is maximum.
Those corners I mentioned are not necessarily fast ones.
Is this a recommended strategy?
That really depends on the corner, occasionally hitting the limiter can slow you down but it will also cause significant issues with car stability. I wouldn't recommend it as I believe you should always be doing something.
They should add accelerating without tcs and breaking without abs to there driving school aswell in the higher parts of the driving school :p should learn people about the grip circle aswell :p
There's so much that could go in to be fair :D! In terms of no ABS I think I'll pass that though, only because it's very much pedal dependant, and user dependant and you can change setup on pedals and stuff! We'll see about accelerating from 0 without TC though :D!
Anyone know how to fix the lag between the pedals and in game cuz when I let go on the display it just slowly moves down and it has been bothering me
You’re the man
Waahooooo!
@Tigney thanks for this video. I use a pad for the game, and have found trail braking extremely hard. As I basically have 3 settings I can use, 100%, 50% and something which is not very easy to control.
What would be the best way to do trail braking using a pad?
Racing on a pad can always be difficult. If you can move to the sticks that will help a lot. That is what I used when I used to play on the pad as it gives you that little more precision when braking.
Hey I got pretty fast with the pad trail braking, what I did was hit the left trigger 90% brake to begin then right away release to about 30 % and continuing to let off to about 10% at the apex or just before the apex then a brief moment to settle the car then gentle on the acceleration 15% to start and then 40% then 100%. Hope this helps
I can't trail brake due to the way I use the controller. Acc and brake on the right joystick
You can still trailbrake on the joystick (It's what I used when I was the fastest Pad player in the world). Just try to focus on the sensitive movements of the joystick.
Great video, can’t wait to apply this to my own driving. Never understood what it meant with trail braking. What I had been doing was the lightly using the brake from start to finish (not all the time, just trying to improve my time overall). Got varying results lol. Always been afraid of using brakes while turning.
Look forward to the brake bias and steering tutorial now. Again another thing I dont fully understand.
See with traction control I’ve real issues exiting corners when using 0 without spinning. Would trailing braking help more with that? I usually have 2 for traction control.
Just wish I could drive manual as I’m hopeless at that anytime I’ve tried. Been automatic my whole life with racing games. Wish I’d sorted that out a lifetime ago 😂
Again thanks for this great video 👍
Brake Bias is interesting for cornering and it will help a little with your exit of corners. My latest episode acceleration will certainly help when exiting corners and also explain what may be happening. Trail braking may actually worsen the effect if not done right, but it will help if you do it right. So if not done right the weight will move more significantly and that means corner exit is affected.
Try and go to Automatic if you can though, as it will be a really benefit to you, and really improve the immersion!
Cool hat 😎
Cheers mate :D!
