Weight Transfer in BeamNG

How accurately does BeamNG currently model weight transfer? I took the Bolide out for a spin on Gridmap. To my surprise, when I lifted off the gas and tried to steer, instead of getting the expected lift-off oversteer the car understeered. I decided to try again, this time with the Barstow (which is pretty much the exact opposite of the Bolide). Once again, lifting off induced understeer, whereas keeping the throttle on and turning induced oversteer (I know that too much speed will force oversteer as the rear tires lose grip, but we're talking a smoky spin from the slightest bit of steering). For a third test, I used the Race Covet, which actually did understeer at high speeds, but I attribute that more to its FWD drivetrain than weight transfer. Is there a reason why this happens, as my experience with racing sims show me the opposite should happen.

 

What controller are you using ? I think weight transfer is good, can do scandinavian flicks and all that. Also what speeds you was going ?

 

I was just testing with a Dualshock 4, though I have a G27 (didn't feel like setting it up). I was generally trying at about...60-80MPH, roughly.

 

things such as weight transfer aren't programmed into the game as such, rather the accurate general physics simulation still exhibits it normally. I've had no issues with weight transfer

 

The Bolide has been tamed, the suspension setup and tire dimensions are heavily tuned towards understeer, but lift-off oversteer does happen if you're pushing the 350GT really hard around a corner, try it at Hirochi Raceway. If you put the same tire dimensions on the Bolide, it's all oversteer, all the time, and you can't recover from it either, the back end goes out and you're in a barrier.

 

It's accurate. You might not get the steering force you want if your pushing the stick all the way to one side and turning the wheel to full lock. Steering is not speed sensitive.

 

So your saying the Bolide is overly sensitive well we all know that, but is it possible to make a suspension setup that could counter that?

 

Yep, if you raise the rear, lower the front, give the rear wheels more negative camber, or plenty of other things that should make it a lot less oversteer prone.

 

I am extremely crap at the setup wise can you give me the ideal numbers please?

I need it to be as if the car was on rails....

 

you probably won't get it on rails, there's only so much you can do with tuning alone

have a play, trial and error

 

I know trial and Error, I would love to see an easier set up options so it comes preloaded with some setups, I find it difficult at times to find the right balance...sometimes preloaded setup can help if your no good at tuning a preload would be helpful...or a how to guide of how to using the "Tuning" Tab...its an idea...but I donno if it could be implemented...but thanks anyway sixsixsevenseven
