What really changed after the update

[Robbyelder]

I would like to get everyones views on the subject of how the cars act now. Vs how they acted before. As an example before the update my nsx with downforce at 17 would shread angle. But at the same time it would pull 60 to 70 mph from one transision to the next. I have also noticed that I am having to make my suspension alot softer than before. Vs a harder one before the update. What I wanting to know is what am I going to have to do to have my cars back to what they where before. the update without having to start from scratch.

The only way to get your car to be like what it was before the patch you will just have to keep tuning with a process of trial and error. I assume you used the car online a lot and is now less slidey. The thing that stands out about what you said is that your downforce is 17. With the new update the downforce has been tweaked. Try lowering it to 10 or lower. My 86 with 5 downforce drifts a lot better than when I had it at 15 downforce, so that is one thing to consider

more downforce slows down a cars now, where as before before it sped them up.

also the ride height characteristics has changed. If you have a car that was higher in front it didn't act the same as before.

2.08
"Adjusted the changes in control characteristic when altering vehicle height from standard height."

I believe the ride hight also alters the roll centers now. I lowered an S14 all the way and even with 12kg/mm springs up front and 10kg/mm springs in the rear with level 4 anti-roll bars and the shocks set to 7 on rebound it had crazy body roll. This was for a circuit tune, but, it is still relevant to this thread.
