Sluggish behavior in corners in low gear. Found a cure.

Guide

I've really been enjoying the game so far. Playing very well for me on XBOX ONE with a controller. My only gripe is the cars all seem to grind to halt in low speeds in a tight corner in first or second gear. I started playing around in set up while in the pit and found Engine Braking under ECU/ENGINE/GEARING. The setting goes from 0 for full engine braking to 10 for none. The default for all cars is 3. I pushed it up 8 and now I can fly through corners so much easier. The is a game changer for me. I'm already hitting faster laps times and driving feels so more natural like it does in Pcars1, Assetto Corsa and Forza. I hope others can find this helpful in getting the most out of the game.

I'm gonna have to give it a shot because my cornering needs some work. Seems like there's one turn that I can can't get the hang of and it ruins the lap. My main issues is just plowing through the turns but I don't do it at every turn.

Why in the HELL is 0 full braking and 10 is none? WTF were they thinking?

How much fuel is sent to the engine when the pedal is not pressed. Higher number is more fuel, which results in less engine braking.

So I'm driving a Porsche on the shortened circuits and I can't get the thing to turn in, so would this be a fix?

While braking, coasting, or throttling?

Edit: Also, with a wheel or pad? And what assists?

Also LOWER your speed sensitivity in controller config.

I made a thread about slow corners the other day and it was a game changer. I can now take most corners at speed and cars don't handle like a boat.

I will also check this out, thanks.

Most of the controller set ups showing in other posts the last few days just left it at 95. I tried the 60 that you suggested in the other threads and it sure helped a lot. It was a bit too twitchy coming out of corners so now I'm working with 70 to 75 and am pretty happy with a results. I'm getting through turns way faster now and have shaved a couple of seconds off of lap times. Once you can get dialed in this game is really amazing with a controller.

Can this be applied to all cars on all tracks, or do we have to edit each car? I'm new to setups on this game.

You have to edit each car and apply the setup manually before each race.

Yeah it really does help! I even played online with super cars (I normally suck in fast cars) but it was a blast and came 5th which was a miracle!

Would of been 3rd but I fucked a corner :(

I'm on pad no assist other than auto gearbox. Do you struggle to get the tires up to temp? That may be the issue. I'm horribly slower than the ai. Since I pumped up all the difficulty.
