well i understand how initial torq & accel work but imma little fuzzy on how higher or lower settings of the breaking sensitivity (decel sensitivity ) affects the handling under braking & off throttle ?
 
DeAccel seems to be the most agreed upon, but there are still a few alternate theories, that I can neither confirm nor deny.

In general, the lower the DeAccel, the more 'open' the rear end is under braking, or coasting scenarios. Higher values seem to indicate more 'lock' so harder to 'turn' but more 'stable' while doing so.
 
i can confirm it does feel more stable with higher value but as for making it harder to turn im not to shure it changes your entry a bit but ye it seems to be more stable with most cars. i generally dont go above 30-35 with it . im trying 2 get my F2007 to brake more stable late in to a corner but i was just confirming wat i thought the case was & i seem to heading in right direction thanks
 
There is usually a very small threshold between unstable corner entry and stable corner entry with LSD braking sensitivity. Most of the time I find it to be around 12-13 and occasionally a little above or below that.

As for initial and acceleration, there seem to be ratios that work well together.

1:2
1:3
1:4 (ie. initial 10 w/ accel 40)
1:5
8:7 (ie. initial: 16 w/ accel: 14; initial 24 w/ accel 21; initial 32 w/ accel 28; initial 40 w/ accel 35)
8:6

Then also some not so patterned combos like 19i:52a or 19i:60a, I'm sure there are more good pre-configured LSD combos but these are ones you can start with and get pretty good results, or fine tune in small increments away from.

budious' pre-configured LSDs for general usage: (trial and error for car and track)
  • 16/14/(12-13)
  • 24/21/(12-13)
  • 24/18/(12-13)
  • 32/28/(12-13)
  • 32/24/(12-13)
  • 40/35/(12-13)
  • 48/42/(12-13)
  • 56/49/(12-13)
  • 19/52/(12-13)
  • 19/60/(12-13)
  • 46/60/(?)
 
interesting, i usually set the decell to 5 then if the cars unstable under braking i mess with the suspension and brake ballance?
 
Im also intrested how you can calculate, based on your car specs, which settings you are going to have in the LSD. In my case, i want good settings for drag racing, which is maximum sensitivity. As far as i know, the hp/tq and car weight has an impact on the locking in the LSD. Any one that has any theory about this things?
