Version 1.6-Preview3 (Patreon)

It is time for p3. For this update, I continued my quest to improve the oversteer behavior, and this has led to a fairly significant rebalancing of the various core forces. As always, everything is experimental, and your feedback is critical to ensure changes are positive.

Force Feedback Strength Changes

• Increased default side force (25 → 30)

• Increased internal SAT force multiplier (0.002 → 0.0028)

  (Combined, the increased side force and SAT force multiplier significantly increase overall re-centering forces. The wheel is now much more reactive to what is happening with the front wheels, aiding with oversteer recovery.)

• Reduced internal gyroscopic force multiplier (0.18 → 0.065)

  (The gyro force was contributing much more of the overall force feedback strength than initially thought. This caused unwanted behaviors such as oscillation in high speed, high down force cars and unwanted feedback during oversteer.)

• Increased default damping strength (10 → 50)

  (To aid in controlling force feedback spikes and oscillation following the above changes, I felt that an increase in damping was necessary. That said, I tend to prefer a more damped feel, so feel free to tweak to your liking or even turn it off and try your wheelbase settings instead.)

• Reduced default suspension travel force (20 → 10)

  (Suspension travel force has been a culprit of oscillation for some cars for some time. Reducing suspension force further will help combat this, in addition to reducing overall muddiness from constant "bumps" while driving. Similar to damping, personal preference definitely applies here, so feel free to tweak to your taste.)

Other:

Added: Damping reduction multiplier on rear slip
(Reduce damping based on rear slip for a more reactive wheel.)

Changed: Disabled front slip reduction multiplier
(Initially intended to control erratic wheel behavior in FWD cars, I feel recent additions and changes to script may have made this unnecessary. As tweaking on the core forces settles, I will revisite this if required.)
