LSD problems?

To my understanding, the higher you set it the less slip it gives, If one wheel looses traction it should back the power off that wheel and send it to the other that has grip?

In theroy, set it as low as possible untill you need it to kick in, but also remember you are playing a computer game that is suitable for children so dont expect everything to be as they should.

Take a real car if you have one, put one wheel (drive wheel) on some grass with the opposing wheel on tarmac, rev the danglers off it and drop the clutch... The wheel on the grass spins and the one on the tarmac sits there doing nothing.

An LSD should drop the power off the wheel without traction and send it to the wheel thats sat there twidling its thumbs

I think :|

ahah most disappointing thing thing. Yes tho is you move the top two on the LSD higher it will accelerate faster, but it might be too fast to the point where the tires just heat up read and it doesn't actually go anywhere.
 
The LSD does not make the car accelerate faster. It only regulates right and left wheel spin and how much torque is needed to make the LSD kick in. The GT5 LSD is not a slipper clutch that the off road RC racers are familiar with. If the LSD made cars accelerate faster we would all run it at 60.
