Over rev

[frostie]

Hi, I've recently been enjoying the F1 Lotus '85 in GT6 but one problem that is bugging me is accelerating in 1st and 2nd gears. I've had this issue with RWD cars before and previously in GT5.

My problem is that putting full throttle down in these gears gives out immediate full revs whilst your still accelerating. Is this normal to hit max RPM but still accelerate? What makes it more annoying is that at max RPM it is hitting a rev limiter so makes a horrible splutter sound as you accelerate.

Is there some issue going on here with GT where the car is meant to spinning the wheels but actually not doing so, while the engine is acting as though they are?

It's called wheelspin, the wheels are spinning, but too quickly for the tyres to gain traction, so the engine hits max revs without actually translating all of the power onto the road.



Turn on Traction Control to get rid of it.

Yeah thats just wheel spin.
Try an early up shift or exiting the corner in a higher gear than you would usually. Or just try to be careful on the throttle, exiting a low speed corner under full throttle is rarely a good idea in a powerful car, try nursing the throttle until you are certain the car is settled and gripping before giving it a boot full

The technical term is "Throttle Control" ;-) You need to learn how to apply it.

Also this post indicates you do not drive real cars in slippery conditions.

Yes I know what wheel spin is and I know how it happens.

That is what i'm saying there is no wheel spin but the engine is acting as though there is.

In the F1 Lotus '85 for example.
In 2nd gear from 60mph - 85mph you get this happening where there is no wheel spin occurring but the engine is acting as though there is.

Sure if you put full revs at 30mph in 2nd gear and climb all the way to 85 you get wheel spin but this doesn't happen if you drive at say 55 then apply full throttle all the way to 85mph, like I said only the engine acts out the spin.



Now regarding throttle control, it is terribly modelled with the control pad compared to real life because of the extremely short range or lack of a curve in the analog. Is there anyway to adjust this or is it fixed.

It is wheelspin. Look behind you and you'll see a trail of smoke from the tyres.

Holding at 55 mph in 2nd gear then apply full revs to 85mph there is no smoke or spin just engine over revving.

It is wheelspin. See the picture below: Rear right wheel speed is 152 km/h, front right wheel speed is 99 km/h, 2nd gear, 11800 revs.

Ok cool thanks for your time.

Loads of wheelspin on this car. In first gear i had to gradually press the pedal so i didnt spin out. A fantastic car though.
