I know I'm gonna start sounding like a broken record soon, but the vibrations in my AWD vehicles must be due to the settings i'm running them at. I just completed the Turbo challenge in Ametuer League and won the rece spec Lancer. I tried it out right away and there was no vibration what so ever, even after I put in a Stage 1 turbo and lowered it. However on the Lancer Evo 7 that I bought and did up, i get constant vibration in the controller. Could this be due to the ride height, or maybe the suspention settings? I thgouht it was just because it was an AWD car, but now I see this isn't the case. Any help or comments welcome, and needed.

Cheers.
 
Yeah live with it. GT3 simulates the torque being sent to the front-wheels which is felt through the steering wheel. GT1 and GT2 both do this. The game was made this way.
 
mmmmm well I guess you could leave it.....

Or try playing about with the settings if vibrations are constant you probably lowered the car too much, or your spring rates are wrong.....

Ask for help in the GT Tuning/Settings Forum?

Hope you manage to get it sorted :gcar:
 
If your ride height is as low as it goes that could be your problem. If not I'm sure it's the power being sent to the front.
 
Your problem may be too low of a ride height. When you are goind down the track, if you are getting a nasty vibration and throwing sparks at every bounce, raise the car 5 clicks front and rear and try again.
When you get to a place where the car is no longer sparking over the bumps your vibration will likely decrease.
 
This was a HUGE pet peeve of mine as well. :mad:

One that you don't need to just live with.

The vibration is indeed caused by the torque to the front wheels and lack of clean power transfer to the road. I have been able to correct much of the problem by doing the following:

1. On 4WD cars, move more of the torque to the rear wheels.
2. Decrease the shock bound on the front. When the shocks are too stiff, the wheels are not able to put the power on the road cleanly.
3. Raise the rear (ride height) a bit. This will have a two-pronged effect. It will allow more weight transfer to the rear on acceleration, reducing the strain on the front drive wheels. It will also shift more weight to the front on braking/cornering for more traction through the corners--understeer (a problem on 4WD vehicles) will be decreased. Watch for the increase in front tire wear, though.

Smooth racing! :cheers:
 
For what it's worth, the FWD Beetle Cup car shakes the controller worst out of all the pavement vehicles I have.
 
Any car will do this no matter the settings...I run my cars on the normal suspensions, and it shakes it just as much as my cars where I set the spring rate at .5(hybridding), so no matter what you do it won't fix something that isn't a problem.

Just switch vibration off...I personally like it...I put the controller on the edge of my bed(I got a bunk-like bed, and it has edges)and it makes a fart sound...also just put the controller on your cheeck(face, please not the other kind of cheeck)and your face goes numb(lasts like 10 secs, depends on the vibration and duration that you have it on your face)...yea I get bored.
