Vcd

[Hot4]

I found this on the web and i was wondering if someone could please verify that it is accurate.

Thanks... 👍


The VCD allows you to alter the amount of torque going to the front and rear
wheels in a 4WD. This can be used to change the driving style of the car. It is
measured on a 10 to 50 scale, the default being 30. This means that, because
the setting is in the middle, that the ratio of torque to the wheels is 50/50.
Decreasing the number gives more torque to the rear wheels and less to the
front, and increasing it does the opposite. Setting it at the minimum of 10
will give all torque to the rear wheels, making the car handle like an FR car,
which makes the car easier to turn, both on tarmac and dirt, although the car
will lose speed more quickly off road. Setting all the torque to the front will
make the car handle like an FF car, off-road you'll keep a bit more speed, and
turning response will be similar to FR qualities, but it will become easier to
spin out.
Leaving the torque ratio somewhere in the middle will give the car maximum
stability, but make it quite difficult to turn. This can be useful in some
rallies, but on tarmac, it needs to be changed to give maximum cornering
ability.
I usually prefer to use a setting which gives the car FR abilities, regardless
of the surface I'm racing on, but you should try to find the setting which
works best with your driving style.

Sounds about right - as long as it's referring to GT4 ("It is measured on a 10 to 50 scale, the default being 30").

Plus, the setting is a percentage, so a setting of 10 isn't technically putting all of the torque to the rear .

There's a settings FAQ somewhere around which may tell you more!

Yeah ok thanks. I guess that having the vcd set at 10 isn't having all of the torque sent to the rear, but it mostly is.



i was just mucking around with this setting to help my evo 3 turn a little easier and i couldn't really see a difference.

Anyway thanks )

Yeah, setting the VCD to 10 will send 90% of the power to the rear wheels. It's great for drifting with a 4WD car.

...or for just turning the ZZII from an understeering pig, into the supercar it should be.

I see )

Thanks for your input. I thought that setting it to 50 directed most of the power to the rear but it's the other way around. If you want most of the power sent to the rear it has to be set to 10. Now im clear. 👍
