So many rally purists here, yet ABS is in use across the board. Ironicly hypocrytic ;)

Or you can read the thread properly and see what the reason for it is :]

i used abs on at first then realized made me quite a bit slower so turned it off.

Do you have 'Clutch override' enabled?

Can you press your clutch when driving and see the revs increase?  Unless it's on, the clutch pedal is purely ornamental 

I'm using full H-pattern unless there's some kind of safety thing with shutting off the engine in spins, pretty sure holding the clutch should keep it alive. I wasn't even spinning, I just slid off the track a little and *booped* into a roadside car or something.

in RWD cars set the diff to strongest settings. makes such a difference .

Does strengthening the diff make it less vulnerable to stalling?

Sorry, missed the automatic gearbox bit  :D

Never used ABS, and I never will - no matter how silly the random engine stalls are.

I use ABS because it makes me enjoy the cars more which is the main reason I play any racing game. Driving/Racing experience, not "rally purism" or other stuff of that (BS) sort.

[JZStudios 631]

Well some of them did have ABS, which doesn't bother me on way or the other. It's not like were talking about that fun killer traction control here.

And then you agree that the random engine stalls are too much?

I stall my engine even on Greece with 5 ABS, but i am a #KeyBro so what do i know?! :( Would love some tweaks.

I stall my car very, very, very, very, very rarely. Usually I just make sure to not brake while the car is airborne, solves the problem for me. Or you can feather the throttle while hammering the brakes when you're airborne, should also prevent stalling.

[Snaky115 18]

I don't think i can react fast enough with the throttle because of braking on a part where it decides to stall off a 1cm high bump. >_>
The game ignoring the pre-race cutscene and starting me deep behind the start line isn't fun either, but, ah well.

KeyBro? I don't think I really stall on Greece much. But seriously though, why is there no push button ignition?

Yeah, they're exaggerated and they suck.

But I won't use ABS.

Yep, can cause dangerous understeer!

I think you mean oversteer.

Nope, because if I meant oversteer, that's the word I would have typed  :p 

A locked diff pushes the nose on slow to mid corners, rear or 4 wheel drive.  So it only works on the faster open stages, like Finland or Wales. :)

KeyBro being Keyboard player - i dont exactly get to choose my braking that well due to on/off switch controls :no_mouth: 
I had never stalled before on Greece, but this week ive been stalling on it with the Escort RS somehow, lol. I am not sure why.

I would say that ABS explains some of the crazy fast times but Porkhammer spoils the theory :)

For me personally it's the ABS and other assists that worsen the experience, but everyone plays as they wish.

[KevM 44]

You can't even feel 1 click of ABS, it negates some frustration!

Haha alrighty then. I guess as long as it's a common problem it's not too bad.

I treat all assists as being harmful to stage times

I like how this somehow turned into a discussion about assists, which was nowhere mentioned in my post... Aye, guess I'm just a topicbreaker.

You're a true pioneer!

I guess so.
