Anyone using this. You must turn it on under controller setting but once you do you can adjust traction control, brake balance, 4wd torque split all during the race. Any race. Although there is a problem with traction control. Seems once you enter an online race that the host disabled traction, the TC gets permanently disabled from this menu.
I hope they fix this soon. Anyone else use this?
 
Yeah, I've been unable to adjust TC settings from the RA menu both online and offline since the 1.05 patch.
 
I use the controller and no longer have the feature since the 1.05 patch either. I seldom use it, but there were many times it came in handy. Also what the point of mapping the functions out on the controller if you cant use it now.
 
Isnt working for me either.
I even loose the RA menu some times, and have to go back to options and re-assign the button.

The fact you can't use them is unintentional.

It's a bug, obviously. It gets broken when you go to an online race that has a no driving aids restriction. It gets stuck, never resets when you go to unrestricted races. People who have never raced online can still use it as it was intended.
 
Posted wrong - belong in Lotus Elise - Top Gear Test Track - Sesonal Event, sorry

Finally did it.

Driving Line: ON
Traction Control: 6
Skid Recovery Force: ON
Active Steering: STRONG
ABS: 4

Non of that RA Function, as I do not know what it is. (But I will for sure find out now)
 
Did this first thing for my DS3, not that I drive with them but because I kept forgetting new cars=TCS auto on. So id enter a race with TCS and this was the onli way to correct this.
 
.....After over a year of playing GT5, this is the first i hear of it. Thankyou, and i'm adding it to my buttons as we speak.

It come in handy with 4wd cars and rally races , and the eiger track with tarmac and gravel.
Its always worked for me.
If host disable TC you wont be able to adjust it in in that menu.
 
Works perfectly for me.
If the regulations permit the use of those aids, the option to change them is available, but if they're not they will be grayed out to stop people essentially cheating them in. ABS, Torque Distribution and Brake Balance are always available though. I have mine mapped to L3, with the d-pad buttons set for the adjustments.
 
I discovered this in GT5P as well. This is how I actually cheated myself through the Nascar challenges. If only I knew that the ASM turned off by simply deactivating the ABS... *facepalm*
 
It's always worked for me. I love using it in endurance races, where I'll turn it on to conserve tires for a while, then turn it off for a lap or two to hotlap and go for the best time of the race. Keeps things interesting, a great feature.
 
I have it set up on my G27 buttons to make it relatively easy to use during a race. I am in the midst of 24 hour LeMans. I first used it to better balance the brakes front/rear and extended my tire life by a lap. It then started raining and I used it to turn up TC and ABS to make the car easier to handle.

It also allows one to adjust brake balance in Special Events when there is no other way to adjust the setup on the auto.
