What setting for TC do you set when you drive an RWD car? Just got a C63 AMG, tuned it a little and its a bitch to drive on TC 8.

 

[CAM]

That's just a twitchy car to drive. I use the default TC setting (5 I think) and am good to go with most cars.

 

[Turtle]

For cars that are tricky to drive like the C63 I use 1, that is, if I'm not drifting it (but I'm always drifting it ).

 

[Milldrum]

Tc 1 for powerful cars.(TVR Speed 12)

Tc 0 for all others.

What button/stick do you use for throttle?

 

[Downhill Dino]

Zero. The only RWD car I use TCS on is the Sauber C9. I set it to 3 on it.

 

[Cobani]

I drive with a controller, but with 'triggers' on L2 and R2. Works great and gives me just that little bit more controll over the rpm's. 👍
And as a bonus your fingers don't slip off the gas and brake.

 

[C-ZETA]

Varies between 0 and 2 depending on how confident I feel. Sometimes I just drive cars with the stock aids settings though with TCS 5.

 

[Ev0d3vil]

On a scale of 1-10, 0 has the strongest TC?

 

[NK]

Nope,

10 is the strongest setting for TC...

Cheers...👍

What he actually means I think is the 'fastest'...although in that term you are correct

But yes, 0 TCS is fastest with the right driving style, because you have no limit to the amount of acceleration you can put down at all.

 

[ashes619]

I use TC 0 unless I am in a bad, impatient mood. Then I turn it up to about 3.
All it takes is a bit of practice to slowly apply the throttle.

 

[seanneedscar]

TCS off 95% of the time, but if im driving a RWD car with 900+ hp i usually go with 1, to save myself the hassle

 

[Crisp]

All aids off exept abs all the time

 

[E38]

All aids off except abs all the time

This.

I always turn TCS off on all cars. I haven't had an issue yet.

 

[WRECKU]

I have everything off except for the ABS. For me its more of a realistic drive, but have to admit with a DS3 it makes it a lot harder if your sitting on a lot of HP.

Also use L2 & R2 for brake and throttle. I purchased the clip-ons for L2 & R2.
These clips are cheap and well worth the price as they give you a little bit more throttle control. 👍

Where do you get those clip ons? lol.

 

[Onboy123]

I use 0 TCS, regardless of the car. Just use the R2 and R1 buttons, their better for controls.

I'll need to remind myself to try out that car But anyways, I usually have my TCS set to zero on all productions. Touring cars I still set to zero, but race cars/Le Mans/Group Cs/LMPs/etc. I set to one. But If I tune it right (most likely LSD), I'll maybe even set it to zero as well.

I have my accel. and brake mapped to L2 and R2 so it's pretty easy to modulate.

*sigh* You can get the same control with your X and square buttons, just have to develop a style to be able to do this.

 

[WRECKU]

I got mine from Walmart I do believe. They were pretty cheap $5.00 maybe.

What I really like is that they do extend the throttle slightly giving you more of a range of control. Using the x button just do not give you the same feel and R2 with a slight extension allows to run with TCS off. It works for me. 👍

That last bit saved your bacon, it works for you. 👍 The X button DOES give the same feel for me though, and I've been using that button for throttle control for well over 10 years throughout the GT series.

 

[Zach]

I'm not sure why people criticise me for not using TCS for grippy racing. Skid Recovery Force, Active Steering and Racing Soft for the win!

I ran the Nurburgring 4 hour in the AMG C63 and never used traction control, it's a great car but a little heavy. There really is no need for TCS on anything other than a few of the group C cars.

*sigh* You can get the same control with your X and square buttons, just have to develop a style to be able to do this.

Yup. I use the buttons rather than the triggers because that's how I spent years playing GT4, it's hard to adapt. I've tried with the triggers and there isn't any difference in sensitivity I can assure you.

 

[dxm8975]

I make it a rule to use TCS 1, SKR and some other aids for steady driving when I create a run in an ongoing event or at practice. Sort of I'm totally relying on the devices as I can only go nicely with a few powerless cars without assistance of them.

I use a SixAxis controller (although both are due to be replaced as they're pretty manky now). Never used TC, I don't like it, it just robs power.

May not be any difference in sensitivity, but I prefer to use fingers rather than thumbs. But then my thumbs make Megan Fox's look svelte...

Go away Mafs, leave my style alone I can still drive with X and Square, that's what a PSP is for. I just prefer the R2 and L2 buttons.

 

[ZeGermanBastorD]

The X button & the other 5 buttons might be pressure sensitive according to wikipedia, but you can be for sure more precise with the 2 analog sticks & the 2 analog buttons (L2 & R2).

I respectfully disagree. I, too, used the buttons for GT4, et al, and when I purchased the trigger extensions, I was able to modulate speed much more effectively. The reason, I believe, is button travel. The entire range of the X and square buttons is 1/8" (3mm) while the range for L/R2 is easily double that. That fact alone suggest that you should have a lot more throttle control with the triggers. That said, before I had the extensions, I hated the triggers as I'd continuously slip off the button, typically at the most inopportune time.

Ultimately, though, it comes down to what you're most comfortable with. 👍

 

[ZeGermanBastorD]

^^This. I have the L2/R2 button "extensions" as well, and they are great. 👍

Dam, I've just came across the EA Comfort Play Pack. Now I think I know what to buy next.
