Gavril Grand Marshal Handling Problems.

I have noticed in the game that the Gavril Grand Marshal will Sometimes veer to the left and right. So it is hard to not drift when you are simply stopping it from veering to the left and right. I also noticed that it is also a little hard to turn while driving it. sometimes i drift and fly off the road hitting a tree or something when i don't want to. So it is hard to turn on maps like Dry rock island and Small Island USA, When i approach a curve. Also when you try to do a sharp left or right it also starts to drift and it is hard to make it stop drifting without braking it real hard, Even if i am going at a slow speed. You need to do these kinds of turns in the maps i mentioned before when you turn onto another street. So i must correct it every single time. Can you please fix this in the next update? This would be Greatly appreciated.

 

I think it's actually pretty accurate for a car of that kind. You probably aren't driving like you would in real life. (Too fast, jerky steering, etc) If you're using a keyboard, that might be why.

 

You are probaly right. Right now I have a keyboard. I am trying to get a controller so I have to use my keyboard. Thanks for the reply.

 

I do have another question. is it normal for the car to veer left and right, or is that a bug?

 

It's probably because you're using a keyboard.

A real car veers to the left and right if you don't correct it, and when using a keyboard you can't do minor corrections, because you can't control how much you steer, meaning that you can only turn the steering wheel from one lock to another, oversteering the car and losing control.

If you use a steering wheel, or a controller, you can control the car perfectly.

 

I was kinda thinking that too... i was planning on getting a controller but for now i must deal with it. Thank you for your reply.

 

and also, the grand marshal is a REAR wheel drive car, so that+keyboard probably doesnt help either, but as electro said, the keyboard is the biggest factor there

 

Actually, I played around with the Grand Marshal a bit, and sometimes it really does veer to the left or right. If I respawn the car, sometimes it works fine. Maybe it could be because when it spawns, it falls from a pretty high altitude, so it damages the wheel or the suspension a bit. But I'm not very sure, so yeah, the keyboard isn't the (main) problem.

 

It sometimes does spawn a little high in the air sometimes, but even when it is low it still does it. but thanks for letting me know of this as well. i will test this out when i get a controller.

 

I did some testing and i just push the forward key it veers (left or right) without any input from me on a flat surface.

 

I noticed this as well (using a controller) and it seems the grand marshals front wheels don return entirely to the neutral position, even though the debug screens indicate that it has. Ive attached the captures below, hopefully you guys can also see that the alignment is fucked after one turn, let me know if the images dont show enough detail.


NINJA EDIT: this is a stripped down version of the car.

 

I also noticed this after the patch.
Edit: Dynamic steering problem solved already http://www.beamng.com/threads/3399-...?p=37936&highlight=dynamic+steering#post37936
