SBR4 - Some minor issues

Hello,

I usually don't post in this section much, but there's some issues with the SBR4 that are not issues related to mods or a bad install - not really glitches, just bugs.

Issue #1:

It doesn't brake very well, it's very jerky and locks up frequently, plus the top-tier Stage 2 SRB4 can't brake even as well as the base model Sunburst, and it's only a little better than the big heavy pickup:

I did a three tests on the SBR4 in the S2 package, with one "normally" using the brakes, on easing on the brakes, and one pumping the brakes to lessen the jerky motion and lockup.

The results show that either the other cars in BeamNG are OP or that the SRB4 is weak in braking - a supercar from 2016 should stop waaaaaay before a heavy pickup or a family sedan. The Sunburst actually stops quicker, and the pickup stops smoother.

(for reference, 60 MPH = ~ 96 KPH - I don't know why it suddenly became metric)

Issue #2:

The ESC is really neat, and it helps the car behave a lot better, but I can't drive with it on because it actually worsens handling in some cases because it locks up the front tires occasionally.



The video might still be processing, and I'm exaggerating the problem to better show the issue, but nevertheless it affects the car even in very calm, realistic driving.

Thank you for your time, and thanks for the continued updates. I really like the SBR4 anyway.

 

Thanks for the reply, and thanks for tuning the brakes,

However, I know the ESC is for safety and whatnot, but I'm pretty sure it won't lock up the wheels in a semi-quick twist of the wheel. Plus, Sport ESC does not change this behaviour.

 

Thought this would be a decent place to post this. When the SRB4 has the front wheels off the ground and you turn either way lock to lock it breaks the respective spring.




Its not a major issues but its something none the less. It affects all variants.

 

If we're discussing minor flaws with the sbr, the rear bumper's attachment beams are probably too elastic and need rigidifying. Rear end the car and you will find the bumper's mounts stretch enough to leave it hovering, but detached from the body of the car. Just a minor thing .

 

They don't define how inaccurate the speedo app is... they have it set to the speed of the wheels, which isn't the same as airspeed... so it's inaccuracies are in realtime...


I personally just mod my speedo app to be airspeed so it is accurate.

One odd thing I've realized about the SBR4's wing is... if you stop at low speed with high braking the vehicle's wing opens but when it comes to a full stop the wing doesn't close while you continue braking... but if your at a complete stop already than you hit the brakes the wing doesn't come up.

Is this intentional or a minor bug?

I've had this happen to me and it really explains the very random squealing the front tires do under even mild cornering at moderate speed.
