two questions about FFcars

[mach-9]

i can't get a proper way to use handbrake when driving a FFcar on dirt tracks,
pls tell me how to make a cool drift (or even a slide) on FF rally cars by using the handbrake

 

[mach-9]

another question is the LSD for FFcars---especial Dec and Int.

I'm not sure about this but I would Level The Brake, and step or press the gas botton and inbetween those I would give it a hard jolt into the way your turning.

I just swing the car until the rear end gets loose and slide around the turn

This is how you would go about it IRL...because I tried "knock off" rally crossing in my FF car once..You use the handbrake just enough to get your rear tires un parallel with your front tires...then that should be enough traction loss to keep the tires from regaining it in the middle of the turn..Then just guide it in with the front tires

Handbreak.


Have fun.

A good FF car 4 drifting is the New Beetle fully tuned to a sweet 361hp w/Stg3 Weight Reduction and racign Tranny and suspension. It is a natural Drifter which even n00bs liek me can do it! (vben tho i have played on GT2 since i was 11 [for 3 years])

LSD is, in the way of FF cars, pretty much just a way to get both the front tires pulling at once. Normally, only one of the wheels on a car will do the work. In FF, usually the front-left wheel, in FR, the rear-left, in 4WD, the front-left and rear-right. The exception to this is AWD, in which all of the wheels are driving; hence the name. LSD gets both of the front wheels about equal amounts of torque.

The initial effect is how much happens off idle; deceleration is just the opposite.

Try the Mini in the 'special' section...drifts like a dream though it's FF

...or the engine powers the front-right wheel or left-rear or two of the four, whichever has the least traction at the moment...

...just 'cause she cooks one wheel don't mean the power always goes there, the classic case of the stuck truck on a boat ramp. First, truck gets stuck. Right Rear wheel just goes werrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and smokes and burns up. So, four guys get in the truck bed. They lean right, and, surprise, now its the left rear wheel! SO they rock back and forth, and the wheel that loses traction is the one with the least weight, which changes when the guys shift their weights. Finally, the guys get desperate and start jumping like monkeys on a bed, which doesn't help much other than to make the truck go up and down and the tire tries to dig in but the other one picks up instead. Finally, after half an hour, the truck gains traction from the puddle of rubber that's laid down on the slick ramp and gets going.

Now in AWD it depends on the diffs. You can have an AWD with open diffs (all power to the path of least resistance) which will give you four times the problems with traction (any 1 wheel will slip and get 100% power) as opposed to something like a serious AWD used in rally cars, which have Limited-Slip diffs front, center and rear. They can spin all four wheels, but not really on the road because of all the grip.

Now you ask, why open diffs if they get that bad of a traction? Answer: Saves $$$! Better gas mileage, cheap to make, and a little less wear on the tires.
