Civetta Bolide is Uncontrollable

Now that I have your attention

(imported from here)



Honestly though it bugs me how everyone complains about when they floor it in a sports car they burnout. Just wanted to show this

 

In reality, no car handles like this, EOT. On a 7-10 degree curve, you let off the gas where in reality, you could floor it even if it had RWD and 700 HP.

 

O: OMG HACKSS !?!?!?!

 

I'm glad you have so much experience driving 70's supercars.

 

Apparently, I have never driven a car made of rubber that is so damaged (and not supposed to be) it turns left or right on its own, be it a car from 70's or a new one.

 

Well, get in a fast car and accelerate at max, I bet it won't go straight if you just put your hands in the air. And of course it's not easy to "counter stear" with a keyboard becaue it gives big sudden moves... (Can I say it like that? my english is not top)

 

Yea you are right, it might turn a bit due to uneven road surface or a drive shaft's vibrations, but the point is...this car turns left and right even if you accelerate very gently

 

Yeah, it pulls to the left at about 80 mph. You do not have to accelerate fast at all for it to do that. You would think it would stick to the road a bit more, being as low to the ground as it is.

Also, how do you know how the bolide drives? you don't even own the game!

 

Also, guys, I have driven cars before, and notably the 07 Camry if you even have a small deviation in the road your steering wheel will jerk left or right, even at intersections.

 

Have you checked the condition of your stabilizer bars?

 

Ehrm, This is embarrassing but I don't actually know what those are XD

 

I have a 98 Ford Explorer which did not have a front sway (stabilizer) bar and it would jerk from side to side. If you took your hands off the wheel, it would immediately turn left or right.

 

I agree, it kinda feels like how most mid engine cars behave on really wet surfaces or on ice. Maybe the tires are made of plastic?

 

Well I guess I am in both camps, the only issue I have is the steering is too fast, I slowed it down after the video was taken and it handles alot better. I made this topic because I know alot of people were getting annoyed by several topics saying that it is a game bug that you cannot floor a sports car and control it.

 

Well said. If you can control a car in real life, in an emergency situation or normal driving (including drifting, off-roading, or auto-x), controlling vehicles in this simulator should come naturally to you.

The Bolide is a perfect example of a RWD sports car, 8 out of 10 times. Gabester said it best. More often than not, it's pure "user error".

My main grief with it is the fundamental 'quirks' it has. Like the veering issue.

My pickup is fully capable of over 900MPH. It turns, it drifts, it jumps...it can hold a straight line. To be honest it's absolutely perfect in every way, in my opinion. At least I'm happy with it.

The Bolide on the other hand, I can't get it past 450mph without a tire exploding, or I'm unable to keep it straight. So in that sense at least, a pickup should not outperform a sports car.

 

Haha, oh yes sorry. I understand it's comparing apples to oranges.

The tires brings up an interesting subject though. I tried swapping the entire code from the pickups default tires, and replacing the Bolides. I actually swapped a lot from the pickup to the Bolide, purely experimenting. But something other than tire code makes the Bolides wheels explode. (Of course at 300MPH+, I'm not complaining. Since this is realistic)

I mean I guess I'm just 'that guy' in a way, talking about how the Bolide can't match the unrealistic super speed of a modified fictional truck, so I'm not crying for a fix or an explanation. It's just simply interesting that there is a 'bug' in the the sports car design or suspension, where as the solid rear axle pickup or even the van seems to not have it.


Once the steering is fixed on the grand marshal...I wonder if my awd marshal can match the pickups top speed, since the marshal has a 4-link rear axle...

 

My only complaint with the car is that sometime the front suspension breaks very easily, sometimes after 6 seconds of driving, I'm not complaining about the handling.

 

i can make a few laps of laguna seca if i avoid braking and turning at the same time
