2001. I'm wondering first what Throttle Assistance setting other people
are using. I had been using Low after reading on a web site that Low
was considered by some to be most nearly equivalent to real world F1 car
traction control. But I have found that on very low speed turns at some
courses like the hairpins at Catalunya or turns 2 and 3 at the A-1 Ring
that it is still very easy to spin. So I tried High and found that at
that setting I had very little acceleration coming out of those turns.
Out of curiosity I turned it off completely and found that even though
it was very easy to make a mistake without it, it felt like I could pull
out of the turns more strongly with it off. The problem is that with it
off I absolutely cannot tighten the wheel angle beyond the apex of a low
speed turn without spinning. Obviously you're not supposed to tighten
the wheel beyond the apex, but if you***up sometimes you have to.
Without throttle assistance if I***up my line and go wide the only
way to correct it without a spin is to back off on the throttle
slightly, which loses a lot of time. Alternately, I can turn down the
differential lock, but that seems like a bad idea. So I'm wondering how
other people are coping with low speed turns in this game. Throttle
Assistance or not? What are your differential settings?
Thanks,
Hal
