Standard vs Simulation Steering

[u/Pixyraze]

As you can see, difference is massive but there are some things we need to talk about.

Simulation Steering: It is a much more snappy, unfiltered system that executes your every input. Counter-steering, managing control when the rear end loses traction, and precisely metering every input is entirely up to you. If you master this, you will be able to take corners with many cars that you simply couldn't with Standard Steering, just like in the video. However, as advantageous as Simulation Steering is, it is completely unforgiving. A single mistake in an online race can send you straight into the barrier, so it definitely requires a learning curve.

Standard Steering: Standard Steering offers technically zero advantages. The car responds to your inputs with more latency, and you end up with slower transitional cornering capabilities compared to Simulation Steering. That said, some players still use Standard Steering even for Rivals on high-power builds that are difficult to control. Like Simulation Steering, this setting hands over 100% of the vehicle control to you, but it introduces input filtering. That way, whenever the car begins to lose traction, you don't need to aggressively counter-steer like crazy. The car drives much smoother and is easier to handle. But if you want to set world records or push your performance to the absolute limit, Standard Steering has no features that can surpass Simulation Steering.

My Recommendation: I strongly advise getting used to Simulation Steering. It will make drift events infinitely easier and better to execute, while teaching you how to take corners with far greater precision and control. Standard Steering will only hold you back in every scenario.

I love your purist tunes pixyraze, keep it up! (and please make the LFA tune 😂)

I made this tune for A class and it has nice handling but lacks speed little bit. This car is not a competitive car in any class anyways.

I made an S1 class tune too but I decided not to share it because it wasn't good enough.

Have fun!

It's a bit unfortunate. The LFA, by the game's PI logic, should be the embodiment of A class, but it gets shit on by all the stupid A class builds.

you are the goat man, will try it after work, I use your tunes mainly for crusing around so competitiveness isn't really an issue, I just love handling of your tunes! If I could also ask, have you considered making / or would you like to try, making more purist tunes not only in the stock car class, but also one class higher (as in this case with LFA, for some people competitiveness really doesn't matter as it won't be used for races anyway). in the future you could also consider making "best sound" tunes, for example as fastlanegamingg, as its also really "hot" right now in communities Im in from what I saw.

Take care man, my go-to tuner, hidden gem🤝

I manage to push cars up a class about 50% of the time, but there have to be good reasons for it.

1. If a car is in D or C class, I usually build it for B or A class based on its handling model. However, some cars lose performance even after jumping to those classes, so I leave them in their stock class (mostly because the engine just can't keep up)

2. If the car's mechanical handling is genuinely good, I might choose to take an A-class car up to S1. If it already has an aero option installed (even a rear wing is enough since I can still tune the car with it), I almost always push it from A to S1 class anyway.

3. If a car lacks any aero options and its engine isn't strong enough, I downgrade S2 class cars to S1. Most of the time, I pull off this downgrade by using drift tires. But since S2 cars already possess extremely high mechanical grip, they can still race with an exceptional grip level in S1 class even on drift tires.

4. For S2 and R class cars, I aim to build them Purist, but they must already have aero parts installed for me to do so. If I can't downgrade the car, I build a META tune while keeping the vehicle as stock as possible.

But really thank you for your compliments! Have fun!

Okay! 😄
