| tuoyo said: Get what you are saying but it doesn't matter what speed I am on it just doesn't turn at all. At first I did not realise that I was trying to take the bends at like 90mph. But I have tried slowing down to like 30mph and turning while breaking and I can't even move a single inch in either direction whilst pressing the break button. That does not seem realistic to me because everytime in real life I have taken a turn at 30mph I have been pressing on the break and it hasn't stopped the steering wheel responding to my turning. Maybe I am pressing the break button fully when I think the 360 shoulder button may be analogue or something so you can press it without the effect being fully pressing the break paddle but rather gently tapping it which is what I do in real life. |
In sims you don't have peripheral vision like you would in the real world nor do you feel any G's either so 90 mph on a sim doesn't seem very fast. Because of this you have to look far ahead from your car. I agree you should be able to brakes some while turning but when it come to racing it's not ideal. Often using brakes when turning will cause you rear end to come around which it exactly what it's trying to do the whole time you are in the corner.
When you hit the brakes the weight of the car goes forward to the front two tires. The harder you brake the more weight shift to the front which eventually causes the back wheel to lock up (low weight) and swing around (unless you have ABS). Thus your front tires do most of the braking.
When you go around a corner the weight will shift to the tires opposite of the direction you are turning. The harder you turn right the more weight shift to the left two tires. In Nascar since they mostly turn left the right side tires wear faster than the left side since they are doing most of the turning.
Of course this is common sense but when you put both of them together you realize why it's a bad idea to brake and turn at the same time even with everyday driving especially in bad weather. That is it will shift most of the weight of the car to one tire. Two tires can stop faster than one. Also weight shifted to two tires can turn better than one. One tire doing most of the braking and turning could end up doing neither.
In racing you want to do almost all of your braking before you enter the corner then use all of your tire grip to turn the corner then when you start to exit the corner use more traction toward acceleration.
