Electronic devices have always been a problem to me.
Actually, upgrading those equip sometimes increase the time attacked per lap.

My problems are about the settings of LSD, full-customized one, TCS controller, and Yaw control system.

I'm in Taiwan. glad to have this BB that may be able to meet someone interested in GT games like you.

Correct me if there is grammar problem as well. Thanlks.
 
The problems are balancing these settings and knowing how much of a change will happen with each adjustment.

I am going to give this a go. hope I am right! :tongue:

I am not sure about yaw control, but I think that, for the traction aides, lower settings are soft, and higher settings are hard. This means that the influence of the system is less when the settings are lower, greater when the settings are higher.

Now if you have the settings low when you are about to do the initial acceleration, it may allow for too much wheel spin, but I think if it is too high it may overly limit the amount of power that can get to the ground, and is probably unnecessary. These are typically designed for low grip surfaces and tight corners. Too high front settings may interfere too much in a loose driving style, by over correcting for balance when you want the front tires to break quickly to the left and right. Too low may allow for too much wheel spin, meaning you will have to back off the throttle more than what may be necessary.
The rears can go either way, primarily depending on whether or not they are the drive wheels.

This is a VERY complicated question.
Traction control and yaw control are very nice if you are not a really good driver.  They help you keep your car under control and prevent spinouts.  My recommendation is not to use them, lest ye become dependant on them.  What these devices do is apply your brakes in specified manners so as to transfer weight and maintain control.  

Yaw control prevents spins, but restricts turning, traction control keeps whatever wheel is sticking to ground turning, but also restricts turns as the turning radius is different on each wheel.  All of these are good for stability, but bad for speed.

Limited Slip differential is different, and requires constant fiddling for each track.  Its designed for things like banked turns, powerslides and the like.  I dont know how to tune it, so I dont use it.  
 
I think yaw control is da control that yaw got, not my own in otha words.  If yaw got control, dats good.  Dat means da race will go good, nun of dis bobbin and weavin all over da street.  Traction is what you ain't got if yaw have no control.
