Thanks Johnny! I can match your tune now (except that I have a few extra horses due to oil change).
Your garage is looking pretty awesome there Johnny. Love the layout and everything looks clean and tidy. Great job so far.
Hi JohnnyPenso,
thank you for the setup DINO good old car, I love 👍
putting weight reduction level 3, I can not get a 1115 KG
I am a 454 PP, I do not understand ??
EDIT: I just tested the new version of the Ford Focus and is much more aggressive, I love this version !!! congratulations
Again, dumb mistake on my part overwriting another tune and not correcting that. Sorry. Fixed now and yes, left is front and right is rear.
Well this is embarassing..I hope so or I'm going to believe that Johnny's genius is a simple fact a great science blunder
. The items are indeed backwards as they are presented here which would explain a lot. However the tunes themselves were done correctly. I shall make corrections right away.
For those tunes I didn't use the transmission flip. Just buy custom transmission and tune the FGR to what's in the tune, then the individual ratios. I will update them soon with the transmission flip settings.
Hiya Johnny, thank you for the tune. Is this meant just for online - and are the dynamics different? I never race on-line so don't know. I have just taken this car for a spin around Suzuka against some 500pp's and won. However, it understeered like crazy and was way, way loose to the point of basically tip toeing through spoon and could hardly keep it on track at the top of the straight. Almost like a cart it was so touchy. Is this how its meant to handle in-game? Also I wasn't sure from your tune sheet whether it was the intake tuning or the isometric manifold, so I got the intake. I don't think HP is the problem though as I was still able to reset the bottom and top of the Trannie and calibrate your gear settings correctly. I do however have to take it down to 89 on the limiter to get to 450pp (my bad, probably should not have changed the oil unless specified). Don't get me wrong, its a great car - but not the easiest drive, is that right? Cheers.

Sorry, just realised I have replied to someone's comment - mine is just a general question. Thanks.
I'd like to try that for myself and see what happens. And yes, everything I tune is tuned online.
Thank you for the prompt and comprehensive response. You are right, like most MR cars it takes a little getting used to. The right entry speed into the corner is the key thing and resist meshing it at any time. I really should not try out new tunes after 11.00pm with the flu! Great tune, look forward to more. BTW in reference to my OP, is there a difference in the way the cars perform/react in normal gameplay if they have been tuned for online? Thanks again for all your help, guys like you are a definite asset!I assume you're talking about the Dino? It is a great car and also not easy to drive at all. Weight shift forward and back is something you have to pay attention to. Braking and turning is difficult and likely to cause you to lose the back end. You have to go from track to track and figure out the corner entry speeds and braking points and work with what you get, but once you work it out it will be extremely fast. Took it to Deep Forest last night and it was 1 second faster than my BRZ and 2 seconds faster than the Focus but it took me several laps to figure out how to get it around.
Your approach has to be to get the car set up for the right entry speed and then keep it balanced around the corner. Making big corrections big corner will cause you to lose control. Braking mid-corner will cause spins. Riding inside curbs will cause a loss of control quite often. It may not be suited to all tracks you'll have to experiment and see what works for you. If the car was a couple of seconds off the pace it wouldn't be quite so rewarding, but it's so fast you just have to master it.
I am finding the MR's much more difficult to drive and tune this time around. In GT5 you could easily tune out the worst tendencies and make them easy to drive, in GT6 using the same methods, most of those tendencies remain. I have a feeling it will stay that way and so we're left with adjusting our driving style to accomodate them, while trying to tune in some consistency.
Where exactly was it understeering? I can't get it to understeer at all.
I am testing my Wangan Midnight replica - Legendary FC soon to be released on my replica tuning garage, full power at close to 500HP - still WIP and stock weight, I experimented with lowest spring rate front and back, lowest damper compression front and back, slightly higher extension, weakest ARB, more than 3 degree front camber and more than 2 rear camber. Driving at SSR7, surprisingly, it handled very well, it grip so good under braking on the first left turn ( up hill ramp ). This was on comfort soft ( street tire ) and has racing brakes kit. I can't believe how late I can brake on the 1st turnWow, from over 285 kmh to just under 160 kmh in just over a second or maybe 2
It performed well on the next hairpin, the right down ramp exit, the high speed esses that leads to the 1st tunnel, the hairpin before the 2nd tunnel - all of them was smooth and with no drama. I love my FC3S. I looked at replay, and paused when the car is turning or braking hard into a corner, I can see the soft suspension allows the outside wheel camber to work it's magic
The usual place for me to test car balance is at Big Willow - the 2nd corner long right curve is a great spot for throttle steer and fine tuning handling balance ( LSD, ARB, camber and toe )
Hi Johnny. Trying to run a test on your tune, but can't get to your transmission settings. Is it possible that they got corrupted when you updated the tune? Your help would be greatly appreciated!
