Trucks!

[Carson Downs]

Hey I need some helps with getting the trucks right. I have only got Lowe's right now but whenever I get into the turns or am getting out the back end keeps slipping out. I went to the Garage tab but have no clue what any of the stuff does. Any help would be appreciated for helping the back stay straight.

Thanks

Before I give you possible solution - what kind of racing wheel you got?

I had same problem with that when I bought the truck. I figured out why I kept doing that at straight and exiting turns - I hit gas too hard that cause tire spinning. So, I learned to take easy on gas.

Till.... I read on iRacing forum and learned about Logitech G25's setting (not related to problem I'm having with truck). So I fixed the G25 settings and my steering improved LOT. So, I decided to try truck and my spinning out at Lowes reduced! Even I slammed gas pedal and did not spin out. Well, I do feel some little loosen, but can manage it.

If your racing wheel is G25, I can give you instruction how to adjust the wheel settings.

Yes I am using the G25

Okay, I'm at work right now and I'll post it later in the afternoon.

Here's my G25 settings as well.

No Logitech Profiler all through Control Panel
101% FFB
900 degrees rotation - no reason to use anything else, iRacing auto adjusts per car to create linear steering no matter the actual lock to lock.
Everything else at 0% and unchecked centering spring.

In sim - 3%

My settings are simple, but it feels comfortable.

Edited to add rather than create a new reply-

I have been experiment few setting - mainly on FFB. I found it interesting... I tested it on SK modified because I'm going to focus on Oval license (I passed 3.00 on Road! Yay!) at Martinsville....

I set FFB at 107% per the link I provided, I ran about 20.750 to 20.900's and spun out few times. I set it down to 100% FFB, same lap time and more spun out. Then I went back to my original setting at 50% FFB and ran 20.200's to 20.400's - no spin out.

I wondered why...

 

[Carson Downs]

Ok I will have to try out what was on the link and some experimenting. Also thanks marcus for your feedback on what you use.

 

[JMH714]

Yes, experiment till you find a setting that fits you.

I just spent all weekend fooling around with Silverado on several tracks. I noticed that Silverado is very loose on few tracks: Lowes, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Michigan, and The Milwaukee Mile. And Silverado is very easy to drive on Daytona, Bristol, Martinsville, and New Hampshire.

On "loose tracks" I have learned to use gas very carefully - not to slam gas at every exiting turns that can cause spin outs. However, I'm still struggle with steering - if I turn the steering lightly, I can cause a serious oversteer. *sigh*

I downloaded Daytona yesterday - it's AWESOME track, with BUMPS on turns. It feel real bumps - not same as Revamped's Day/Night Daytona track, but realistic bumps.
