TC ON/OFF

[ItsHwurr 2]

Good morning everyone,

I want to play without TC but I can’t, I’m always spinning and even by training more than 3 hours I can’t...

I’m playing with mid TC so do you have any tips or is there really an advantage to play without TC ?

I feel for you bud. Everywhere I look and hear people saying that you can't be fast/competitive with TC on and I too have tried driving with it switched off.....with disastrous consequences. Nope....I need TC....otherwise with all the spin offs my lap times would be about a minute slower! Even if I have all other assists off....I've got to have some level of TC on.

Hi! I think I have something that will help you both! It will be necessary very much testing and improvement wont be fast, but it will be much more fun!

I will supose you have your steering wheel and use your feet to acelerate (inspite if you use a PS controler I would try the same)

Yes, TC off will make you faster, but it takes long to be good with tc off and in the begining you will be slower, just trying not to get out of track.

The problem with TC off is this: a huge AND suddenly discharge off power go to the tires, and they dont have enough grip, then you loose control.

Note that this happen in the lower gears (I will supose you already are running with manual gear). In the lower gears, it's too much power coming from the motor.

The REAL solution is to slowly achieve a better control of your feet in the acelerator, so you you will be able to control the power transfer without sending to much.

I know, saying like this dont help too much, but it is necesssary for you understand my tip.

If the problem is to control the acelerator, and make a soft release of power to the wheel, you must adjust the linear control of your acelerator.

The linear control is in the controler set up.

I think the linear control should have another name. What this control do is this: if zero is selected, then it will release power in a linear way, I mean, more pressure on the accelerator, more power goes.

But if you change this control for higher numbers, it will make the inicial pressure on the throtle parcialy absorved, and less power go to the wheels, until half of all pressure available, but after this half, it will increase the power discharge.

Saying it in a diferent way, the initial pressure of your right feet will be not totaly transfered to the tires, and as you continuing pressing the accelerator to it's full course, it will change and transfer more power.

The point is that when you turn tc off, you use to loose control in the lower gears, in slower speed, after a turn. And the change in the linear will act just where you need.

So, turn your tc off and change the linear to 100. It's too much, but as soos as you begin to achieve control you will change this control, and one day you will get rid of it.

The ideia is to give you time to get used to it. It wont be easy or fast, but you will get it.

Also, you will have to change gear early. Dont wait to change from 1st to 2nd, or 2nd to 3rd, and 3rd to 4th. Short shifting. Hear the sound of the motor, see the lights in you pannel. When the first green light is on, you up your gear. It's not the best but it's necessary in the begining. In time you will be able to also control this better and begin to change gear much more near to the best changing point.

Thanks for your answers guys. It helped me a lot thanks !

Driving with TC off is definitely doable ItsHwurr. Just whack your throttle linearity up to max (100) and try a few laps. You will soon get to know when and how much gas to put on out of a corner so as to get a smooth transition. Give it 20 or 30 laps of your fave circuit. I've tried it out.......and it's starting to work!

Keep us updated. I'm now driving without TC assist and it's amazing how much faster I can be into and out of corners. Still getting spinoffs but I wish that I tried playing with no TC assist before now.
