Hi, i'm new to srs, using with assetto corsa.
I'm experiencing handling issues with all cars that i use, cars handle fine within assetto corsa i:e quick race, hotlap, practice etc etc.
Yet they have virtually no grip whatsoever when racing in srs even once tyres are warmed up, spin outs occur far to easily and brakes lock with barely any brake pressure applied.
Take the Mazda 787B for example, handles superbly within AC itself, then attempt to race within srs and the car is virtually uncontrolable.
Any ideas or suggestions as to the cause and possible solutions please ?
Thanks

Hi, yes i normally use some degree of ABS and TC, even once grip levels are at 100% the handling is terrible though, any ideas on how to prevent brake lock ups and spin outs without having to resort to driving like a granny ?

If the car doesn't have ABS or TC, there's nothing else to do but practice without them and drive the car as it is meant to be driven.
I highly recommend using "Factory" settings on electronic aids when practicing offline.
And how to avoid lock-ups and spins out? Practice practice practice, you need to pay close attention to your pedal work and realize that brake and throttle are not binary inputs, they have a lot more positions than on or off.
SRS itself does not alter the behaviour of cars in any way.

Hi Adam, just incase I thought I'd post this, but it's a long shot. I use the Thrustmaster TX with T3PA pedals. EVERYTIME it starts up, even if my pc reboots, the wheel spins and auto calibrates.....the pedals however do not, and I have to manually calibrate them everytime by pressing them to their extent and releasing 3 times for each one after the wheel has finished. It may be your pedal require some calibration to operate properly but if you've been using all the aids it may not have been necessary.
Just a thought, and a long shot as I said.
One last thing you could try, go into the calibration setting in the SIM (AC in this instance) and make sure the pedals track how you need/want them to with the telemetry just to be sure. If they do, then it's down to practice and patience....TBH, I'd start with much easier lower powered rear wheel drive cars to learn racing without the aids. Good luck fella.

Yeah, I think that's been discussed on the forums at some point. I have the T300RS with the default 2 pedal setup, and after calibration I have to fully depress the brake while in game... otherwise it goes to 100% with just a brush of the pedal. I occasionally forget from time to time and that first turn is always a shocker.

I've also had TC and ABS disable itself on race start for cars that have them... Now I have a starting grid checklist I go through to make sure TC and ABS is where I want them, pedals and wheel are calibrated and such.

Practice, practice practice!!!
Not having ABS on makes you a much better driver too.
