How do I correct this? I've tried softening the suspension to absorb more of the impact, but it only mildly affected it.

What happens is when I go airborne, the car lands slightly front first (perfect IMO), then the front bouces up... sometimes as much as 45deg like it's trying to take off! :scared: I'd try to adjust the front spoiler, but it's not adjustable!

I Love the car otherwise, fully tuned I'm outrunning most everything without a problem, but when you have to slow down for the jumps at Seattle to avoid losing control or braking ability, they can catch up pretty darn quick 👎 .

Any ideas?


Thanks for any help. =)
 
I know some of you have some kind of idea... Think it might just be a characteristic of the car???

Give me your thoughts... anything could help =)
 
all i can think of is increase front bump and soften the front springs, if that doesnt work, go over jumps slower

Well, I'll see if it helps to really soften it up...

I'm surprised no one else has any ideas...


Oh well... =)

same problem but i got an srt-10. I don't think its bouncing i think air is getting under the car and lifting the front end up.
 
I haven't driven the vipers at all in GT4, but I remember in GT3 they would do that... it's like they were way too heavy in the back.

With the Saleen, though, the car jumps beautifully, staying level with maybe just hint of a nose drop... But when the front it's the ground on those Seattle Jumps, the nose bounces off the ground like it's got hydros...

The only place I have trouble with it is on the Seattle jumps, no where else has jumps drastic enough to do it.



Ebiggs: are you talking about adding weight to the front?... didn't think of that... may be worth trying...
