How Does The X2010 Turn?

[Crispy]

I was watching my Bob the other day, and it seemed everytime he turned the wheel, the car would turn, but not the front wheels. So does anyone really know how this car would turn?

Are you sure they are not turning. The wheels are covered so maybe you can't see that they are turning.

 

[killerjaaaaack]

That car does not need your stupid laws of physics to operate! It turns because it wants to turn.

 

[SmileyOr1]

That car is like Chuck Norris. It just thinks it wants to turn and it turns. It doesn't neet front wheels to turn.


Actually, in photo mode the front wheels do turn and the wheel cover turns with them.

Depending on how tight the turn is in the race you might see the wheels turn just a little. More of the turning can be through throttle input pushing the rear around the corner with the wheels just guiding it along when at speed.

Try it going slowly and look from outside view looking back.

The front wheels are covered, but the cover is fixed to the car, the wheel just bounces and moves about inside it on the suspension rods. But the wheels don't turn much, because the car is so fast and so sensitive so it don't need very much steering angle to get around the corners. Try to go very slowly and move the wheel or the controller to full lock in either direction and you should see the wheel turn.

It turns like it's on rails.....

I'm still trying to figure out how this car turns on Monza's sharp curva di lesmo at 350 km/hr, yet in an online race, most cars even with racing slicks dance around the tracks like loose elephants in a mouse ring. I should just realise that this is a video game, and not a real driving simulator. I still love this game despite its shortcomings and goings.

While close this grasshopper is not the truth...the car doesn't turn...indeed it doesn't move at all. Simply put by its very existence reality is reshaped...therefore while it is at one with the universe all else is forced to move about it thereby giving those who are not Zen masters the impression that it moves and turns!

 

[TehHO]

You Can see the front wheels ARE turning, if the car is going really slowly

This is how it turns: 1100111010011000010100111001000111001101010011.....

 

[Jack002]

It never turns or moves, the earth moves beneath it.

It's the X2010's Universe and we're just living in it!

It never turns or moves, it simply alters your perception of its location.

lol!!

Nerd time. Isnt that how warp drives work in star trek? They should put an add on of 2 necels on the side

 

[SlyckTires]

The track turns around the car, silly!

Does the x2010 really exist in gt5 or has the matrix programmed our brains to believe it exits and hence if we believe it exists then logic says we believe it turns. But the reality is that it can't turn because it doesn't exist.

It's 4WD. When you turn right, the car applies more power to the left set of wheels, making them go faster than the right side and having the car turning right. When you turn left, a propeller, applied to a vertical axis extended into the fuel tank from the main fan underneath the car, begins spinning at tremendous speeds, creating a vortex inside the fuel tank powerful enough to rotate the entie vehicle counter-clockwise. The problem here, though, is that it only works in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere the vortex would be spinning the other way, making both left and right inputs from the steering wheel turn the car right...

Racing slicks doesn't mean **** if you haven't got the downforce to make them stick to the tarmac. Combine a light-weight car with a powerful fan and some huge wings and there you go. The only totally unrealistic thing I've noticed is that the tires aren't disintegrating from all the lateral G's... but then again, it's a video game and I'm not using the x2010 for anything else than B-spec moneygrinding.

The X1 isn't 4wd at all.

I'll ask Bob how it turns when he finishes driving the wheels off it. (Go Bob go!) He earned it, it's his to drive all day and night until he gets replaced with another Bob with '0' experience and a funnier name.

Downforce.

Yes, and hypothetically it could work in real life... with the proper technological capabilities. The problem with a star ship traveling about the galaxy is that the galaxy is enormous. Even just our own solar system is enormous. At the speed of light, a mere 186,000 miles per second, it still takes light a full eight minutes just to reach us from the sun, the distance from Earth to the outer planets is much greater, and the outer planets are nowhere near the outer limits of our own solar system.

So, traveling anywhere at all in the galaxy would require going far faster than the speed of light, but you can't actually move faster than the speed of light. It would require infinite energy to get you moving at light speed, let alone much faster. It's impossible (at least based on our current understanding of physics) for you to ever exceed the speed of light. However, the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light. The reason this is possible is that it isn't the matter moving that fast but rather the space in between the matter expanding that fast.

So, if you can warp the fabric of spacetime, effectively expanding it behind you and compressing it ahead of you, you can move at insane faster-than-light speeds by sort of cheating.

(I hope I didn't screw any of that up. It's late and I'm half asleep.)

never mind how it turns. the pit crew put its tyres on through the fairings!?!!??!?!?!?!

event horizon,


that didnt turn out so well
