I keep getting too lose in the corners and spinning out. (using T1) Can someone give some setup pointers in the newsgroup? I would like to get a good race going but I keep spinning! (btw: where are the cross weight front rear wieght ect at?) -- --Kai Fuller Senior Writer of IOR (previously INR) http://www.traction.git.net/ior/ GO Thunderbirds!!!!!!! (WHL)

: I keep getting too lose in the corners and spinning out. (using T1) Can : someone give some setup pointers in the newsgroup? I would like to get a : good race going but I keep spinning! Well, I get the same thing, but with a joystick. I think that the steering in this demo reminds me of World Circuit with steering help off. If you just breathe on the steering wheel then the car goes completely out of control. Even after I turned the steering ratio down to minimum and the "slow with speed" option to maximum it still does the same thing. I'll have to try it later with steering help on to see if that helps any.

I have discovered that if you have wider tyres in the rear the car becomes undriveble in high speed. Maybe this will help. Tomas Grankvist

I have had time to experiment with x-car for a while, and discovered the same problems......until I chose the Monroe Matic car.....what a dream ride, I can't even feel it when I go over the curb in the middle of turn one at Mid-Ohio......Can't say enuf about the engineers of this car. Anyway, after selecting this car, change the gears so that you have somewhere around 205mph top speed(there's a graph in the setup screen to look at), increase the wing and wing cord angles for high downforce, set the tunnel downforce to maximum(about twenty if I recall), leave the nine inch wide tires all around, adjust tire pressures as desired, increase the front camber a bit(1.5-3deg) and test. Adjust as necesary while enjoying the graphics. I am still getting used to them as they are quite diffent from GP2 or ICR2. What do you think of them. This demo runs really well on my P100, I bet it screams on a 166 or 200. Can't wait for the full version. Ps Don't forget to make your brakes Carbon-Carbon for best performance.
