GT7: LSD Tuning: Everything Explained

[@scottb3034]

@@jeridc3075 yes, 4WD would be great.

[@scottex.]

love how people are redescovering tuning through this game

[@GTTSON]

I appreciate the videos too. I have no problem testing things myself, but it saves so much time when it's explained vs just testing my changes

[@kanehood3478]

Also I believe the lsd tuning has been in all of the games to date but it really has changed how it acts due to older physics and hardware limitations, so for me it’s like a refresher course rather than learning from scratch

[@scottex.]

@@kanehood3478 yeah it does work in a weird ass way, but still if you know something from real life you can just use that and you'll get decent setups

[@jblackrevo9]

The initial torque activates when turning into corners and deactivates when driving straight. The higher the setting the more quicker the initial torque will respond (safe/understeer) . The lower setting allow for easy turning and the initial torque not being aggressive. Depend on drivetrain and suspension setup and power delivery will determine LSD setting. Braking acceleration makes car stable on hard braking but car will have severe understeer. As for acceleration sensitivity. This becomes tricky. A car with alot of power will benefit from a lower setting on acceleration sensitivity as you throttle in and out of a turn you need to keep wheels running independently. A car with less power is more versatile in raising or lower sensitivity. You don’t want to lock wheels (full power) as wheels cannot run independently around a turn and therefore the lsd cannot do its job in distributing power to the wheel that has the most traction (keeps car from spinning out of car/better throttle control). Basically snap oversteer. There are other factors involved but this is a basic way of explaining.

[@Doughtinator]

Yeah great words to explain this. I found it quite hard to really explain this stuff in a short sentence. It is quite complicate and situational 👍🏻

[@johnwayne-kd1pn]

This is one of the worst topics for me in regards to tuning, I feel so clueless having read the descriptions multiple times. At this time I'm trying to improve the Pagani Huyara and the used Dodge 2006 both with severe understeering issues. With my solution they still understeer if speed is slightly too high into the turn, which is annoying, but they can accelerate and steer excellently out of the turn, not even needing a soft acceleration, and it doesn't really oversteer, just steers very aggressively. That's not really the steering I wanted, but it is far better than the default, but very hard when you switch from a good car with normal good steering (like gr cars etc). The dodge I just never wanted to drive again after the first time, haha. Not liking FR cars at all, but maybe I'll figure it out doing these kind of things like you mention.

[@jblackrevo9]

@@johnwayne-kd1pn keep in mind if the type of suspension that each cars has and that you would still need to use camber and tow. Also downforce as well.

[@rinkumultani6515]

hi what should i change in settings if my car oversteer going in to corner? or pull to right or left under hard braking

[@jblackrevo9]

@@rinkumultani6515 increase your braking sensitivity to stop the pulling when hard braking. As for the over steering that’s more complicated. It could be your ride height , downforce, your frequency, compression/extension. Pay attention to the weight distribution of the car as adding too much weight in the front that if your cars isn’t already front heaving can caused that to happen as well.

[@somekidfromchi]

This was a great guide for beginners. I applied this methodology to my 84 GTO and it made an immediate difference. Aesthetically I didn’t want the wing on the car but it opened up the rear downforce customization which also helped immensely for high speed stability.

LSD: There are 3 settings (acceleration, braking, and initial torque). You want the braking one as low as possible without experiencing oversteer when lifting the foot off throttle in a turn (lower makes the car more agile, better turn in, when off throttle). The accelerating one u want as high as possible without experiencing oversteer when accelerating out of corners (higher will translate more power to the tarmac). Both have to be explored by testing in 5 or 10 point increments. The initial one in my view is best in between both of those two, because u don't want sudden big changes in LSD torque when pressing or lifting off the gas pedal. Have fun dude!

[@Doughtinator]

Yeah. I agree with that 👍🏻

[@dmtc6913]

I also agree with most of this, however imo there is no particular reason to aim for initial to be in between the other 2. As basically the lock you get on throttle is a function of accel acting on top of initial, and same goes for decel, though the impact is lesser than on Accel at equal values. So there will always be some unlocking when you ease the throttle, unless you have a very low Accel value. Also if you really try to go for weakest possible decel value it will naturally end up with the initial seemingly in between Accel and decel. However the units are not even the same, initial is a force that they just adjusted to a scale of 5 to 60 to match accel and decel scale which are angles in degrees. Similar initial on different cars might in fact be different amount of force that deliver similar level of lock when in neutral. Similar Accel/decel on different cars will mean the same cam angle but will deliver varying levels of lock depending on the torque of your engine. imo you also want decel as high as possible without generating too much understeer. that way you maximize the efficiency of engine braking, and the handling is a bit more consistent and balanced between the different cornering phases.

[@Doughtinator]

@@dmtc6913 agreed with that too 👍🏻

[@dmtc6913]

@@Doughtinator also worth noting that irl you don't find LSDs with less than 20°, though there is a 5° setting available for decel to make the diff 1way for FWD. (some brands express their angle in inverse manner, so 20° would become 70°, 5°=85°, 60=30) Lastly its hard to find a diff like say 15/40/60 in GT7. it's always like 15/60/60, 15/60/30 or 15/60/5.

[@Doughtinator]

Interesting. So these numbers are ramp angles? I just thought they were arbitrary numbers. I’d be very interested to know the actual logic/maths that’s used to make the diff settings work.

I the second this, this might be why I've had issue setting up some of my cars, high initial torque setting. I was using the Mustang 429 heavily modified and was having some issues that I mostly sorted out, one was the suspension frequency of all things.

[@Pluvillion]

The acceleration sensitivity I feel relates to how much power the engine gives to the wheels when your feet is off the throttle. Higher means even if there’s no gas input, the engine will still give some sort of “push” to the wheels and causes understeer while lower will cuts the power almost immediately which causes lift-off oversteer. With that said, it finally clear to me now. I usually tune the LSD and hope for the best (it oddly just… works?? haha). It’s perfect to balance it out with brake balance and ballast but I have heard a car’s handling can magically change just by the LSD alone. I’m currently tuning the F8 Tributo and at stock the car is a *_nightmare_* to drive. I will keep in mind what I’ve learned from this video.

[@Doughtinator]

I’m not sure this is how it works. I think it is the locking force in the diff when on throttle.

[@casualplayer7743]

as a driver who got all gold licenses i highly recommended you setup, i being used always high brake low torque and acceleration 35, i recommended those settings use in 90% MR, FR even some 4WD

[@Driftuner]

Well you cant go that high on the front lsd on FFs and awds, it will understeer for miles...

Easiest way to remember it is, max lsd is for drifting. It resembles a welded dif which is what most drift cars use. So open dif would be more for racing. Which is the lower setting.

LSD is like the front sprockets on motorbikes and bicycles... even when you stop pedalling, the force exerted on the wheel is still there, causing skidding.

[@scilens1049]

About Initial Torque: Once you have set up a good balance with "Acceleration S. and Breaking S.", "Initial Torque" is for when you add or decrease Horsepower to your car - then you just change the "Initial Torque Value" and your balace is still intact. Its basically a multiplier for when you have to tune or detune your car for a PP-limited Race.

[@Doughtinator]

Good information 👍🏻👍🏻

[@danardisimracing]

Excellent video and made it very clear. GT's implementation of the differential is actually more complex than some other games on the market who often only offer a preload figure for setups, but this makes it tricker to master. I've been working on some setups in GT7 and trying to harness the power of the diff is something I'm still grappling with. This video has been a big help!

Great vid - always found GTs explanation of LSDs to be a bit weird. I put together a bluffers guide to GT7 tuning for the leagues I'm in and the LSD page had me scratching my head for ages..! The bit in the vid that confused me though if I understood it right was the comment that high acc leads to power understeer; some sources I've read suggest increasing if excessive power understeer? Which kinda make senses as a more open diff (i.e. lower acc value) sends more torque to the inside wheel which will try to turn the car away from the corner?

[@JerkyFraser]

Good video. I understand what a differential does but have always been confused about why exactly a limited slip differential is desirable. I vaguely understand what it does but not why it's desirable.

Great explanation, you earned a subscriber and I will definitely put this to the test this evening when I get home. Got a Mustang that needs a very steady foot and I think these settings will make it much more controllable.

[@Doughtinator]

Excellent. Let us know how you get on 👍🏻

[@Bob_Raptor]

Can confirm, these settings and the understanding I now have of them have made my GT7 life a lot easier. There is still no cure for a heavy foot, and you must still show respect to how you come out of corners but yeah without a doubt its much better, my Supra benefited a LOT from this too. Thanks again for the tips. 👍

I dont know if this applies to gt7 but from Forza and other games I played basically you wanna set the accusation setting high enough that you stop the inside wheel from spinning but not soo high that you get understeer on throttle. A lower setting is more likely to break traction, but you get less oversteer when you do, and a higher setting is less likely to break traction, but you get more oversteer when you do.

Side question, if you don't mind: GT7 was going to be my return to the franchise after only ever playing GT1-3 back in the day. I'll get it when home from traveling, but I am considering a wheel and pedal setup. Very expensive. It seems as opposed to going halfway and settling for something fair in the $400 range, it would be better to go for a Fanatec or just don't do it at all and stay on the DualSense. I'm sure it is, but do you find the wheel to be a large pat of the game's experience?

[@Doughtinator]

The advise I usually give. If you’re a gamer. Then playing GT on controller is good. It’s fun and you can be quick. If you’re a racer/driver and find using a controller awkward then a wheel will be a huge step up. I use a second hand G29 and I think I get 90% of the enjoyment of the wheel experience compared to a full FANATEC setup.

Yeah. I’ll go through them all eventually 👍🏻

[@ludens5129]

Great explanation about LSD. Thanks.

I vibe with that cat. I see catJAM, I like the video. Simple. But besides that, nice detail and informative video. I have a better idea of what I want to do with LSD which I have avoided purchasing for my cars until I found a video like this. Kudos.

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man. I did consider going for a full LSD meme at the start of the vid. But I kept it simple and subtle with the cat 🤣

👍🏻👍🏻 you’re right. I completely missed any reference to swazz. How on earth did I do that 🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess I went all corporate and technical 🤣🤣

@@Doughtinator lol fool why you all think you know what your on about lol

[@Doughtinator]

@@theexcellerantonehypertone79 I can’t find your other comment to reply to. I respect your opinion. Mine is different to yours. The braking setting on the LSD has nothing to do with braking strength. It is the action of the diff when decelerating or coasting. In GT7 there is no way to change ‘brake pressure’ which is the setting you might be thinking of.

[@theexcellerantonehypertone79]

@@Doughtinator I know what I am referring to is quite simple.... UNLIKE your reply 😉 but never the less....lsd is the final part of any tune regardless and won't stop excess wheel spin.. Alone... On the comment regarding the the advice given to increase your break sensetivity on a car that was experienceing bad weight transfer from a poorly tuned suspension again as I said was wrong... You must be thinking we are talking about forza 🤣 with deceleration but no it's gt7... I know a good channel of you want tips...

[@Doughtinator]

I’m always interested to learn more. But from my testing and tuning. What I explained is what I feel. It’s also what is demonstrated in the video. There are millions of ways to tune a car. Each tuner and driver will prefer to tune starting with different things. I’m just simply trying to show what I found in my testing.

[@kentfew3344]

Definitely interested on seeing this done on a 4wd car

[@Doughtinator]

I’ll get onto it 👍🏻

[@tommykaira8775]

Awesome, can you do one for 4wd lsd setting? Given the rwd lsd setting guidelines, anything else I need to be aware of for 4wd?

[@dukedub]

I've always done breaking on lowest. Accel and initial right where you had them. Never tried max breaking LSD always thought it made the car harder to turn

[@Doughtinator]

It does. But on the MR Gr3 cars especially. It’s really needed to stabilise them on the brakes 👍🏻

[@eSKAone-]

LSD: There are 3 settings (acceleration, braking, and initial torque). You want the braking one as low as possible without experiencing oversteer when lifting the foot off throttle in a turn (lower makes the car more agile, better turn in, when off throttle). The accelerating one u want as high as possible without experiencing oversteer when accelerating out of corners (higher will translate more power to the tarmac). Both have to be explored by testing in 5 or 10 point increments. The initial one in my view is best in between both of those two, because u don't want sudden big changes in LSD torque when pressing or lifting off the gas pedal. Have fun dude!

[@uncut_cowboy]

Awesome video, thanks Buddy

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man 👍🏻👍🏻

[@HashiriyaSquadron]

Agree with your settings, but GT7 has a problem with the tyres and how the stickier they're meant to be has the opposite effect. I find myself sliding out with racing softs on some RWD cars even with similar diff settings.

What do you recommend for drifting?

[@Doughtinator]

Good question! I’m not an expert. But probably the opposite of the setup at the end of the video.

[@MnEanythingrc]

Good shit, only logical explanation and reasoning for said explanation I’ve seen out here…I wasn’t too far off your settings but I was also using ballast and balancing the weight in lieu of my lack of understanding in this area. Playing gt since the original and o finally got the right balance in my 2wd cars ..for some reason i didn’t have any trouble tuning my awd cars with a center diff..so weird

[@Doughtinator]

Happy to help man 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MnEanythingrc]

@@Doughtinator i running my F12 berlinetta . I set my bias to -2 front, tc to 3, no assists otherwise besides default ABS, 798.99 pp mostly maxed and it is a savage..I left the rear camber at its default 3.0 neg and front 3.5 negative..ride height 2mm lower in rear w-downforce fr/rr applied, front sway bar-3/-rr-4 then the LSD initial isn’t available for whatever reason but the acc sensitivity is 25 and the braking 60 man it is almost perfect on any track so far, just ran the spa 60 min run man I was in 1st 11mins left and goddamn rain, had no inters or wets. Needless to say the last 11 minutes I fell 2 laps and 4.5 mins behind 🤣🤣🤣, just bought both wets and I’ll do it again later. Ur tips were fire spot on…subscribed to ya . If u wanna see the video of me on Nurburgring I did 2 sessions about 80% recorded. Was just getting used to the car and was on hard but finished 1st check it out not bad for that narrow monster track

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man. Much appreciated. I’ve made the no wet tires mistake a few times before 😳🤣👍🏻

[@MnEanythingrc]

@@Doughtinator bro do you have any idea how to enter the neoclassic challenge? It’s keep saying not available. I finally beat the spa race while I came in second sadly but it’s an hour grind. The weather was different. It started raining almost immediately and then throughout the entire race, my grip got a little sketchy in the F12, so I had to turn traction control all the way up, and really only go half throttle bursts, so I was limited for about 48 of the 60 minutes but those 12 minutes I got the grind I caught up but I keep saying it’s not available. I’ve completed the other four challenges I want to do this I’m getting angry do I need to buy a car first or what? Please help

[@Doughtinator]

@MnEanythingrc yeah you need to have active or already played the menu book which contains this race. Check in the cafe and make sure you have Neo classic available. 👍🏻

[@joel761000]

Great explanation mate very helpful indeed… 🏆

[@Doughtinator]

Glad to help 👍🏻

[@KainsTorment]

Thank you so much you’re the only one who actually bothers to explain things… I’m new to GT 7 and I love it as I’m actually disabled so I can’t actually drive in real life, I saw a vid saying in LSD (whatever that stands for) that 5 5 60 is the best to control any car however I’ve come across 2 really annoying issues… Issue 1) I love my Lamborghini and it’s 4x4 wheel drive, but how come the famous Nürburgring track is like ice even with driving assistance on strong the brakes seem pointless. I know I’m not great but it seem like the driving assist Brakes and steering are turned off for that one track or am I imagining it? Issue 2) How the hell do you control any Dodge Mustang? When you accelerate you always hear wheelspin so I assume that the Mustang has too much power going to the back wheels and I’m guessing in car language Power means Torque? My Mustang is a complete bitch to drive as if I accelerate while turning the car just spins around. Any tips would be appreciated thanks

[@Doughtinator]

Happy to help man. I have an LSD video for 4WD cars too. That might help with your lambo. For very high power cars. Someone’s no matter what you do with the diff can tame them. Rear aero often helps bring them under control.

[@Doughtinator]

LSD means Limited Slip Differential. 👍🏻

[@KainsTorment]

@@Doughtinator Thanks and what is “Rear Aero” and where do I find it?

[@KainsTorment]

@@Doughtinator Thanks, assuming Lamborghini’s are all 4x4 is it better to have equal braking numbers (the same front and rear)?

Let me know how you get on. Braking sensitivity is easy to understand. Acceleration is a little more driver specific as it does depend how you get on the gas. 👍🏻

@@Doughtinator no problem brother. I have an unrelated question, when I set up an online lobby race, say with a friend, why is it that I have no option for rain? Is this something that needs to be unlocked in the license or mission pavilions?

Would these setting work when doing daily races with balance & performance?

[@Doughtinator]

Unfortunately most daily races are BOP and fixed setups so you can’t tune. I really wish they had one race each week with open setups at least.

[@Gamer_Dan_79]

Excellent informative vids thanks

[@Doughtinator]

[@Ethelberts]

How to increase acceleration on the exit corner? Did the LSD setting has effect? Or the suspention?

[@Doughtinator]

Increasing acceleration sensitivity should help. But too much and you might suffer snap oversteer.
