Stock (real) ABS and TC info for all cars,especially race cars.

[lGNAl]

This is so important in race cars, but also a nice helpful feature on road cars too. What is the stock real life ABS and Traction Control settings for a certain race/road car/s ??

For example the GT3 cars, do they have ABS ? If yes then what is it from the 1-10 setting in the game ? ... The same goes for TC.

The same for road cars. We all know older model cars and some new ones don't have TC or/and ABS.

Not knowing what is the stock ABS/TC settings takes away the full experience when player's want to drive any car in stock setting. Providing info on what is the stock setting for every car.

It's not imposed on you (us). They just show us what is the real settings (default in the game), then you can change it however you want.

IMO, ABS 1 anymore. I think this may help to clarify the issue a bit more:

Well, take this into account:

None of the "aids" system in GT games - ABS, TCS, ASM - are "simulating" those very aids. They are simply assists for the driving model (suspension, tire slip, braking threshold…), not virtual representations of their real-life counterparts.

They are simply called like that because, well - comprehension, probably.

"TCS" is not simulating traction control. "ABS" is not simulating anti-brake lock systems. "ASM" is not simulating suspension roll assist. While "SRF" does not simulate anything, it is the One Assist To Rule Them All.

In my opinion, the cars in GT5/GT6 are have their real-life assists already "built-in". So, for example, there is vast difference when driving F430 on the Sport Hard tires with no assists and F40, simply because the F430 have both braking and traction assists of some kind already virtually simulated in their very model.

When you use driving assists in GT games, you are not "making" car more similar to its real-life counterpart (famous argument of "that car have ABS, so I am using ABS"), you are simply using a physical-engine driving assist which - I say it again - does not represent virtual simulation of such real-life assist, but it is simply a assists to the physics model.

Also, every single assist - TCS, ABS, ASM, SRF - influence all other assists as well, even if you have them disabled. For instance, having ABS at 1 will not only stop the tires from lockup, it will also improve traction (what TCS do) and suspension stability (what ASM do).

In my final opinion, the only proper setting for the traction control is zero (0), where you rely on the "built-in" suspension characteristics. Of course, you are more than free to use whatever suits you 👍

I disagree with that.

For the realism's sake, yeah, why not. Altho' with my hammy fingers I DO need all the assist I can get!!
