[@realbartsimpson]

I wouldn't mind these changes if they applied them to all cars and increased their default speed but we all know that's never gonna happen.

[@mettaursp309]

​@NovaWolf Gaming Applying both the new anti curb boost flags and bumping up the top speed wouldn't change the apparent speed, as mentioned in the video. The map size would be a non factor because the cars would still be travelling roughly the same distance in the same amount of time. They would just be more consistent and logical in their behavior.

[@mettaursp309]

@NovaWolf Gaming According to what though? This very solution was proposed in the video with the reasoning that applying the flag also applied roughly a 30% slow down from lack of constant curb boosts on most cars. The engine power increase was proposed to offset that loss to result in a rough net gain or loss in speed of 0.

[@mettaursp309]

@NovaWolf Gaming I think that's just a break down in terminology usage at this point. I don't think anyone would reasonably suggest top speed changes, at least not across the board. This seems more like a case of colloquial use vs technical terms and a disconnect in which definitions are used. The proposition from the video is about keeping the top speed the same, and keeping acceleration curves roughly as close to the originals as possible, and it seems to be what the OP was referring to as well. Making extreme changes to the handling beyond correcting the negative impacts of specific handling flags goes against the spirit of the proposed change.

[@mettaursp309]

@NovaWolf Gaming The OP isn't saying top speed either. They said default speed, which if you're gonna stick by rigid technical definitions based on the settings existing in the game, is not top speed. You need to take into account the context the comment was made under, which the context shows a very similar suggestion within the video itself which doesn't say top speed either, but clarifies engine power. Of course neither of us can say for certain what the OP meant to say unless they come out and clarify. However, rigidly sticking to one interpretation based on rigid and specific technical definitions, something commenters tend to not stick to, and using a technical term that OP didn't even use when there is context to suggest another interpretation is a very odd choice.

[@mettaursp309]

@NovaWolf Gaming That's the problem I pointed out earlier: you're assuming they're using the same definitions you are. Given the context of the video, and how one of the newer handling flags is said to fix the curb boost issue at the cost of slowing vehicles down, and the following suggestion of bumping up their stats to offset that effect, I feel it is pretty safe to say the definitions being used are different. The context from the video much more closely matches the comment than the prescribed definitions you are pushing on it.

It's beyond me why you don't have over a million subs by now. Your content is second to none.

[@Voskaridis]

Idk why they are tinkering so much with flags and what not. It may sound easy to do but, why didnt they just make vehicles not gain a speed advantage by hitting kerbs, and not hinder the driving experience by having vehicles jumping around the road... Why not just make em smooth over kerbs and when hitting them not gain or lose speed. It gets complicated and really hard to keep track of which vehicle has flags or a flag.

[@broughy1322]

To be fair to them what you're describing is exactly what they're trying to do. It's not the work of a minute given these issues are inherent problems with the game engine, they need to experiment. However I do agree that the problem is that they're experimenting with current cars, so we're left with a mess where all cars in the game seem to have different characteristics and programming based on when they were released. Would've been better to keep it all in house and just push it for the next game (although maybe they needed the backlash to all the original engine and bouncy flags to know not to keep pursuing that avenue).

[@Voskaridis]

@@broughy1322 Understood.

[@HarryB4497]

I'm really hoping R* balance out the game with the remaster, I don't like this handling flag garbage but if they're going to use these handling flags on future content they should go back and add them to the older content, instead of doing everything half assed.

[@BigMobe]

So all the old cars become junk. No thanks. There aren't many new cars that interest me enough to buy them because of the advanced handling flags and that is my way of voting to have them removed.

[@BigMobe]

@NovaWolf Gaming The flags are not wanted. If R* wants to fix the boost then they should fix the general vehicle physics, test it offline then introduce it when hitting bumps doesn't change vehicle speed or cause them to bounce all over the place. All the bumps in the road are also a problem. They make driving in first-person annoying.

Instead of focusing on "hey, Rockstar seemingly finally did what they wanted to do for so long, congrats" you try to bash them for something completely off-topic to the video.

@@broughy1322 I agree with you. In an ideal world, they would overhaul every car and tweak their flaws accordingly.

But again, this is not a consistent thing that happens. Some cars benefit and some others dont.

[@gameboy3800]

for open wheels, i could sometimes still induce a middrive by tapping both brake and handbrake at the normal top of 1st or 2nd gear to get the rolling burnout effect. i could do this a lot with my r88 when it was new.

"Only time will tell how they *_handle_* it." I see what you did there

[@ssmith7074]

Open wheel cars are still affected by wood boosting. Driving on the low traction wood texture on the edges of stunt tracks pieces does give a significant speed boost for some reason.

[@pedinhuh16]

Yeah but this is expected to happen since the wooden surface provides less grip on the tires, and therefore worse handling on corners.

Even the Tropis rally which was made for stunt's fails even on end over end flips. I sent a clip to rock star asking why they destroyed cunning stunts and all stunt driving by doing this . The only reply i ever got was a message of yes we have seen your clip of you spinning your car like crazy then landing on the wheels and continuing on. I gained a ton of rp from stunting cars and my rank is high due at least half of it to stunting. but i can't imagine they would nerf all cars over something so minor. Anyway if you could find any explanation for this I at least would find it interesting . It could be nothing more than more delivery goods get damaged and lost the longer the truck is on it's side ! but ruining races for that seams short sighted to me and why not at least remove whatever it is in races !

As someone who gets a tad upset by how much time an experienced driver gains by just kerb/brake boosting, it'd be a very welcome change. I can do kerb boosting well enough if I see other people gaining from it in a particular spot, but brake boosting is still a bit of a mistery. I know of one track where I could pull it off at all, and even then I'm very inconsistent, so I end up just braking with no boost to be found.

[@Pseudoscorpion14]

The reason Rockstar doesn't go back and change the old cars, by the way, is likely because of their microtransaction policy. I used to work for a moderate-sized AAA game company that sold various cosmetics and boosts in an MTX store, and often people (me) would give them feedback saying stuff like, "This item kind of sucks to use," or "This cosmetic clips with the player character" or whatever. Their policy was: once it's released, they cannot make changes to it outside of fixing obvious bugs, because you risk pissing off the customer who spent money (or a much larger amount of in-game currency) on it. Anyone who bought it presumably liked it, and so making changes to an item people 'like' was considered a risk, even for objective slam-dunk 100% beneficial changes. Similarly, Rockstar is in a similarly difficult place having only one unified economy, and selling in-game currency via Shark Cards. Basically, this makes every vehicle in the game potentially a 'MTX' vehicle that someone paid actual real life money for, and thus making changes to it is a risky proposition. And the fact that Red Dead Online is _two_ distinct economies - money (free/uncapped currency), and gold (premium/drip-fed currency) instead of just copy-pasting GTAO's clearly successful MTX schema supports this idea. Now, I personally don't agree with this, but I thought it might be useful to shed some insight on why these seemingly nonsense decisions are made. To use a metaphor that maybe doesn't exactly work, it would be like if you bought a shirt, then a week later the manufacturers broke into your house and changed the hem size. Maybe it'll still end up fitting, but it's not the thing you bought.

i see what you mean, but they have messed with vehicles in the past, such as changing the inner workings of downforce a dozen times, hardcoding some advanced flags into the viseris, changing the behavior of bouncy suspension and of course, above all, forced cooldowns for the shitstick mk2. and you can bet people paid real money to get the shitstick mk2.

[@TheGamingNorwegian]

3:40 "not as realistic", "realism" went out the window as soon as Rockstar added the Mk2 oppressor. And it is more realistic that bigger tires absorbs bumps better and gives a better ride. R* did this only to be a-holes.

[@jdx4174]

They could easily put in an option before each race that let's us choose "racing tires", which would make all cars go over bumps smoothly in the same way. This way, the looks of the cars in freeroam wouldn't be affected and the racing community could still have their smooth driving experience.

[@MRtiktikSMASH]

Hmmm interesting

[@R4M_Tommy]

Will PH adopt the anti curb-boosting flag on the server once FiveM updates to the current version? Would be a huge step up for racing quality.

[@Johnny362000]

back when I was there the answer was no because we felt that the mechanics that flag fixes were integral to the racing experience we loved but a lot has changed since I left

[@DiNmiTe]

iirc Grim was looking into the anti kerb-boost flag on the GT cars, but i havent heard any updates for a while so who knows whether he's scrapped the idea or waiting until FiveM updates to put it live

[@cyandrix]

I like this update, now racing lines actually matters for supers. Not just humping every curve on the track and causing lamp posts to be strewn across the track

[@Johnny362000]

racing lines always mattered

[@pedinhuh16]

@@Johnny362000 the ones that incorporate sidewalk humping and curb boosting matters much more than the others that don't though, and that's the problem.

[@Johnny362000]

@@pedinhuh16 fun fact: if you can combine racing lines _and_ kerb boosting you'll be faster than doing either on their own! It's almost like the two things aren't mutually exclusive and the people making this complaint just suck at driving. Also this comment is over a year old you necro-ing mf

[@johnsonboy]

Beautiful GTA car content, as always, Brough. But next iRacing content when?

[@mr_obst3077]

I think he was still waiting on some parts for his sim setup

[@Terminator2911]

To be honest it's a bit late in the day (as in how old the game is) for R* to be messing about with specific cars only, after people have got use to driving them & knowing what set ups are the best ! Surely R* have private servers where they could test stuff themselves !

[@ROCKY5516v]

I would be okay if R* added the handling flag to remove kerb boosting in all cars. But if they do that they should up all car's top speed and make all cars smooth over bumps, like it has off-road wheels installed. But I also don't mind the kerb boosting because i personally love the acceleration and the speed you get from the bumps. I just find it satisfying getting all the speed. So it's either fix it correctly or remove all the flags and have like we use too. just my thoughts on it

[@ROCKY5516v]

@NovaWolf Gaming What i meant was since the kerb boosting flag will be enabled, all cars will be a lot slower than they are now. So to have a balance i think increasing the top speed should work. For example the T20's top speed is 128mph with kerb boosting. But if you put the kerb boosting handling flag then the top speed is decreased to 108mph. So increasing the top speed on all cars could balance it. But i doubt R* would go that far. And yes I agree the map is small.

[@x-90]

Am I the only one that seriously never used off-road tires on normal cars? I only used them on suvs and offroaders

[@sharkeatinpizza]

Yes, because in the pursuit of best handling, they were kind of a must

[@Skyman58]

Nah I never really bothered with them either, they definitely did help but I just didn't really race enough or feel the benefits enough to justify how horrible they looked on most cars

[@OPTCO1]

9:30 never knew that, you should have tested it from 0 - top speed and the opposite, so we can see how it get higher and lowers lol

[@Panimioul]

double clutch works on open wheels though

[@TJK1025]

So on the old tires can clip cars where off roads still work, there’s differences to using other wheels compared to each other?

[@sharkeatinpizza]

Anything before the casino update still benefits from offroads if it has tcc, only real difference is these cars will handle bumps better when given offroad wheels

[@TJK1025]

I know that

[@masacarre]

I wonder if PH will add this "anti-boost" flag to all cars. Seems like a good racing mechanic which is kind of in line with their ideals.

[@MattyH1812]

@NovaWolf Gaming Kiwi? Is that you?

[@DiNmiTe]

iirc only the Racing GT class is being considered to have that flag, otherwise no intention of killing racing like that

[@BigMobe]

Live beta testing with cars players either grinded for or used Shark Cards to buy could put the community off to buying new vehicles. It certainly did for me after the RE-7B was nerfed instead of creating a new class for it, the Tyrus and ETR1 at the time. If you think the Zorrusso having uneven suspension is bad the Z-Type, which has been in the game since release, still has its body sitting offset to the left of its wheelbase center.

[@BigMobe]

@NovaWolf Gaming It's not about just how it affects its driving. There are problems with vehicles much older than the Zorrusso that have never been addressed.

[@anthonymorales2000]

Should the krieger still be used over the emerus in all super car races or does this change things?

[@Loaqki]

I think R* is just testing things for the GTA VI physics, they transformed GTAV in GTA VI Beta, and this might be why they don't release an anti-cheat for GTAO, cause it's not worth it anymore, they just need a few people that love to play that game in order to test things and give feedback so they can learn from it... If they were trying to improve and solve problems just for GTAV, they would have started by the AC Edit : Broughy said what I was thinking at 12:38, and I agree

[@Harms82]

Great news about the anti-boost flag. Those boosts were the main reason, I turned my back to any GTA racing.

[@sharkeatinpizza]

It's only on the open wheelers though...so they dont have a top speed of 335 mph (even though their TCC with race wheels would already solve that issue without this "new" flag)

[@Harms82]

SharkEatinPizza Yeah, I know but it's a start and gives me hope for the next GTA. The racing community I've been part of for a short while took themselves quite seriously and imo, silly boosts have no place in that environment.

[@TimmyXaero]

I hate those (mis)handling flags. Great content Broughy.

[@spear97]

So if the anti boost flag was removed from the open wheel cars what would they drive like (potential video idea) surely they would be a lot faster

[@grapeseed427]

Do the old cars get nuked everytime a new dlc comes out?

[@shremk9100]

I think a reasonable thing that Rockstar should do for the next-gen release of GTA Online is to apply the anti-curb boosting flag to all cars but increase engine power by 30-50%. This would make them about equal in terms of speed on bumpy terrain and faster on smooth roads (which would also probably help with all the people complaining about the low top speed of cars in the game). Additionally, I think a good middle point for the problem of tires can clip is to make all tires clip about half as much as offroad tires currently do. This would make the cars reasonable smooth to drive without looking ridiculous with high-end/sport wheels. This last bit is more wishful thinking, but it would be awesome if we got a new category of "racing" wheels that could provide different benefits to the car (ie. one type of wheels could allow for a lot of clipping/smooth driving and another could shift the grip more towards the front or rear of the car).

[@branbaker77]

Anyone know the paint job on that Zentorno at 1:43?

[@chilbiyito]

Was midnight club good with how the cars handled?

[@xXValentineXx]

So Kerb/Break boosting only not working on Open Wheel? I don't want to talk about this boosting nicely, but it takes some skill to do it perfectly. at the time I thought it was stupid but somehow they adjusted to it. if all cars would be affected by it now, that would change a lot, at least for stunt races.

[@Kelemeth]

Awesome. Hate kerb boosting. Have they also fixed Open Wheel cars getting speed boosts from driving off the track on the rockstar courses?

[@TheCazadorSniper]

I can tell you that they have not.

[@BulletSponge71436]

I'm a little confused. So Off-Road wheels do still work on Zentorno (for example) or not? Do i need to change the wheels on my Zentorno or i should leave it with off-roads?

[@broughy1322]

The only cars that have changed from before are listed in the video

[@salmonsmoothie]

Were these changes made just in the last few days, or with the cayo perico dlc?

[@broughy1322]

I say when the changes were made in the first few sentences of the video

[@CaptainBroadSword]

So, are these changes already implemented or will they be introduced in the near future???

[@АнтычекГорлов]

Hi Broughy! It seems to me that 811 is broken : I was driving in the premium race "fight against traffic jams" and my 811 was developing a very high speed, more than usual and from the suspension I could hear sounds on a flat road . Please test it. (811 wheels type - sport)

[@Johnny362000]

The 811 has always been like that

[@holycivic7440]

Question: So in sports cars for Stunt races, does this mean that the Pariah is now better than the Itali Gto, Itali RSX, And Neo?

[@broughy1322]

No, considering none of this applies to any of those cars

[@TonyMarinou82]

Does this being the S & A race tiers a bit closer together then, particularly with respect to Super cars? It seems like a few of the A tier cars can still use off-roads for benefit.

[@broughy1322]

Since the S tier cars now have slower lap times but the A tier cars stay the same, that's exactly what this means.

[@jameznash]

very interesting and very well explained as always.

[@stevecarlson2351]

Sorry if I missed it in the video..... is this live on console as well or just pc?

[@fastlane8154]

I find the boost (in free mode) very fun to use, it lets quite a few already fast vehicles, such as the Vagrant, go even faster. And yes, faster than a pariah 😎 Although for racing, yeah, get rid of them, it lets lucky players get ahead because they hit the right patch of road. It would be nice for R* to do something about their game, but we already ask so much of them

[@lfla0179]

I actually used kerb boost once to regain 1st on a race where a player pit me off the track, but yeah, it should not exist.

[@stinker6829]

Weird.... I thought the emerus was better with street wheels. I prefered them over off road anyway, so i dont think this is a problem. I need to test out the krieger and how it drives, really noticed off road wheels difference.

[@raafmaat]

soo..... what cars do now still benefit from the Wheels Can Clip flag? i know the Vagner does, is that now the best overall car to use for races with street tiles?

[@sharkeatinpizza]

Anything with TCC before casino update still benefit from them. And the kreiger/emerus are still the go-to cars for supercar races
