I've posted some other oddities in the bug thread where with some diff changes cars can bounce down the track or even pull wheelies.
Can someone explain what's happening here? It seems/feels like some inconsistent diff physics to me.
Basically this is every single last corner footage I recorded from a race today. 3 times some odd "super turn" happens. The rest is fine. Obviously my corner entry varies a bit but my use of the throttle, steering and revs are the same.
Pay attention to what happens at 1:00 and 2:50.
At the time I thought I might have over-revved the engine and locked the rears but each time I got this problem I have about 1000rpm to spare. So it's not that and besides it *should* do it as I engage the gear not a second or so afterwards.
It's like it suddenly turns too much. Not rear "oversteer" but too much "turn" for the whole car. I get no tyre slip feedback from the FFB - as far my wheel is concerned it's cruising round the corner. It's like the rears dig in and get too much grip and turn the car more than they should. And it's extra weird the way it happens AFTER that car is balanced for the corner. Particularly at 1:00. You can see the car is settled for the corner THEN it over-turns. The only reason I caught it on lap 13 was because I was expecting it to happen by now and caught it visually (and as such almost too late).
edit: I've also noticed there's a slight bounce from the suspension the moment it happens especially at 1:00, but there is no bump on the track here. It's almost as if it happens when the preload kicks in, in between braking and throttle blips. I have it set to 0. I wonder if it's getting a divide-by-zero error?
Diff settings were Preload 0, Power 75, Coast 35, so it's not like the coast diff was too aggressive.
Feel free to say it's a driving error, but please explain it. I suspect it could be a setup error and I won't be setting the preload to 0 anymore. I prefer controlling the attitude in the corner with my right foot but will settle for workarounds because getting this in a race really buggers up your championships.
