> This is as real as it gets
like the times I've gone over a jump and ended up flipping onto my nose
and right over. It just seems unlikely even if I'm being a little reckless
:-) That's just an extreme example though. There are times when I just
don't feel the car's doing what I think it ought to.
However it is *highly* likely that this is because a realistic rally sim
is fairly unique in simulation terms. In most other sims you can drive
fairly fast while being logical and sensible. In rallying, you *have* to
chuck the car counterintuitively around to be fast, and while I have
occasionally indulged in a little light 4-wheel drifting in GPL, more
often than not it's been more by accident than judgement.
Which probably explains why the teaching section of RBR has given me such
trouble. I have to master a whole new set of skills in order to get the
most out of this simulation. Until those skills develop and become
automatic, I really must do as you suggest and train in the same way I
trained with Monza in GPL... lap after lap after lap until I understand
the car's behaviour and don't have to think about what my hands and feet
are doing.
This could take quite some time :-) But then that's the attraction of
hobbies like this.
