TC0 is utilised in real life, usually in qualifying trim. most GT3s have some TC 'bypass' functionality, so they can cut out TC intervention on exits. TC0 in ACC creates the possibility of more rotation on exit, but the way to see it is it allows you to accelerate whilst you sit on the limit of the tyres where TC1+ might see that as too much slip and begin to limit power. Mustang and Merc have very generous slip angles before low TCs start cutting in, so see fewer benefits from running TC0. Generally we get away with it in the sim because we have a lot of grip, even in "low grip conditions", and we also have no consequences to overdoing it. We can just RTG and go again and don't need our engineers to rebuild the car all night, splash out £100ks on a new chassis etc.

TC0 meta is the worst thing in my eyes that ever happened to ACC. Not even close to full negative toe and such this is by far the worst and made the biggest gap between pro and normal drivers. Ruined BOP for many people as well (because you have car bopped for TC0 laptime but you cant drive like that). And yes its unrealistic. In real GT3 they never turn off TC. Yes you drive different in real life so TC doesnt trigger that much and it also works better. But I hate it in ACC :D

Just for context about my spin on LFM PRO: I was meant to be on TC for that corner but forgot. Stomped on throttle expecting to have TC. I actually don't mind the TC off meta, it makes me feel like I'm in control of what's happening, instead of randomly losing time to TC triggers. The problem with TC is just that it's almost not a viable option anymore on eSports level due to the outdated TC slip values. It would be nice to at least have it as an option for wet and such.
@KrypticTMGАй бұрын
@@teemukarppinen9462 yeah I thought might be something like that but those things can happen specifically if your battling before the corner where you are suppose to put the TC up again. Do you find 0 TC more difficult in the Bentley than other cars.

@@KrypticTMG Not really, the torque actually helps because you can short shift your way out of a lot. For example kyalami you don't need 1st gear at all which makes it a lot easier than something like Lambo for example. But it does for sure take a bit of time to get used to, it does have a strong torque kick. 😅

@teemukarppinen9462Ай бұрын
@@WTFDust It's very track and car dependent. Some tracks are almost equal, some tracks you almost need to go tc off. Also some cars have a good tc like fiat and ford and they almost never do tc off. Some cars have really bad tc like audi and lambo and theyre tc off all the time. Also, if I'm not quite comfortable with the track or the setup, TC might even be faster sometimes. TC off truly is the last few tenths when everything else is already clicking. But when you are "dialed in" so to speak, TC off gains like 1-3 tenths depending on the track.

I thought what happened is that 1.9 changed the level of slip the tires experience, but they didn't remap the TC systems with the newer tires. So the TC cuts in before you actually reach the limit of grip

TC in real life is also calibrated per racetrack, probably even per session. You can find onboards of the BMW M4 f.e. where the driver is using TC1. Most cars also have a TC disable button, which disables the TC for couple of seconds.

This is a main issue with all sim race games, it's programmed with numbers and all pro esport players has this as work so they will always sitt in their own teams and look for glitches to find that 0.1s everywhere. Before every pro player was secret with their setups but since 1.9 some of them have shown the meta setups so players are generally faster now them before. If you want to make a sim race realistic you have to make a random number generator that has a certain impact to the game so you have to adapt to every race. That's not the case today! And the programming of the game is very generic as you can use almost same setup to every car and that's not good. All cars should differ and RNG should be implemented.

Realistic? Its a Game. You will never have the real Deal AS a Sim Racer. Just to have Not the responsibility for the health of Others and your self and to have the oppertunity to have infinitive track time makes a huge differences. And by the way ACC is more a Hardcore simcade than a simultion. They made many decisions that are pro Game fun and contra simulationfactor.

Your problem is that you need to do this to get faster in your acc journey. 95% of drivers have still a million other areas they need to improve on. Btw on the audi i found a non meta with tc that makes it feel more rotating out of faster corners. 1 second faster on redbull ring. Low 28s which obviously isnt alien pace but good enough for me

The only thing that saves TC0 is that for more skill you get rewarded. But even that isn't a great save, it's still a disaster. I have most of the commercially available meta set ups and while I'm nowhere near alien times I'm no slouch once I get the practise in. Example Nordschleife: 8.08:5 in "normal" 23 degree in the Beemer, 08.9 in the Mustang. Now with both cars I can do these times with traction control on or traction control offf. My main problem is that I am obviously not skilled enough to find that extra rotation and find that extra acceleration even on tracks where I've done thousands of laps with set ups I spent dozens of hours learning. I am driving them at the limit of my capability but I'm not seeing any gain in terms of lap times even though I can drive moderately competitive times for a normal human. This also makes it not worth the risk of running TC0 for me. If I could find a one second gain would probably be too greedy to turn TC on. but since it's same same, I have just resigned to not having that ultimate feel in my foot :D So it does seem to me that this extra one percent really is reserved for the very top skilled players. That in itself is not really a bad thing. The really bad thing is the trickle down effect which you explain so well in your video: set ups are all the same, driving style there is only one, BoP is made for meta cars with meta drivers ... and so it trickles down the tree and in the end makes the game less enjoyable for all of us. Great video and good points :)

There is really only one optimal setup that enables a car to go round a circuit the fastest. In real life motor racing this setup may only be exploitable by one, maybe two, drivers on the grid, for the other drivers this setup won't suit their driving style, therefore will require an alternative setup, and a result will be slower. So that setup is hardly a META in this context In sim racing you suddenly have 200 to 300 top drivers that can exploit this setup, and as they're all top drivers they'll all be in the top splits, and all racing together with the same setup. At this point it's looking like this setup is the META. However it's not really as if you gave this setup to, for example, one of the other 9700 drivers then there's a good chance that they'll spend most of their time off track, or not have confidence in the car and find themselves tippy toeing around the circuit. So IMO this isn't a META as much as it is a skill issue.
@KrypticTMGАй бұрын
@@slaphead90 Respect your opinion but I disagree. The ACC Meta has changed many times and just like when we ran the negative toe which was so much faster it was literally free lap time, it didn't take any extra skill. Some Metas are more straight forward than others. When you consider some pedals have there own software where can adjust the throttle curve therefore making the accelerator more linear which helps in situations like what we have on ACC today.
