Wreckfest Science 1 - Stability Control and you!

[@Slakass55]

Finally, a place that nicely explains the ins and outs of using stability control - with great examples too. This feature always eluded me which is why I usually keep it "safe" at half/half/half. But since I do prefer FWD cars, your tip on turning off stab control makes a LOT of sense on these cars. Can't ask for a better tutor than someone with 12 million exp points! Edit: please don't add annoying background music to your videos, these are about as annoying as meeting a bus coming the wrong way when you're leading a race with a lap to go.

Apologies for the quiet audio, when I was watching it prior to uploading it sounded fine however now it seems to be much quieter It's also worth mentioning that I seem to have caused some confusion while explaining how stability control actually works, I explain how it works in a real car then explain how it things like differential and brake bias effect it, and while they do, its not quite in the way I explained. Stability control simply points the wheels in the direction of travel as you oversteer, I assumed everyone would be able to tell this because when you turn it off, the wheels don't counter steer at all, and they do when its on.. My bad I guess

Keyboard user here: I tested Full Stab and switched back to half,because its more fun and i can react better to other drivers in curves etc.Might be because i am used to it.[Boomer RS 4242 / 164,Bumpers,Rollcage]

I often see you online in your flashy boomerRS. Great racer. I myself allways drive a green car. ;) Half stab/abs off/tracion Half

19:22 killed me! Nice video! Thanks!

[@pasteghost428]

Anyone using wheel and pedals will definitely want to consider turning off all assists. If you're new to driving there is a learning curve but the rewards for overcoming gaps in technique is very noice.

[@thekollector2322]

I usually don't run any assist but in this game when your smashing and bashing a lot I would probably recommend half stability control

[@Ruudwardt]

Great guide man! Good catch on 'no music' - I nearly missed that being in the bliss of engine sounds. NO MUSIC please!

long time no see online. nice to hear the voice of a known player 😁

For future reference I didn't even look at what position you were in until you said what position you were in doesn't matter and if I sound rude I don't mean to I have learning disabilities so some people could take how I write thing in the wrong way

[@kijekuyo9494]

I enjoy your videos. I have probably seen more of yours than any other KZbinr save for FailRace (who focuses on group race footage). Did I catch that full stability and fully locked diff may not go together (because the rear wheels always spin the same)? By the way, I prefer no music or extremely light music.

[@slayerofmidgets3201]

I kinda mispoke, it's not that a locked diff means stability control does nothing, but it's noticeably less effective, it'll still make the car a lot less willing to oversteer with a locked diff

[@kijekuyo9494]

@@slayerofmidgets3201 Thanks, I had to ask. I wasn't sure if I missed more information later in the video.

[@scottthewaterwarrior]

So have I been shooting myself in the foot running all assists off? I also race in first person...

[@Necksbocks]

Great video mate, I find I get similar times with half and full. I have a world record on Midwest motocenter with full stability on ps4. But I think you’re right it comes down the the driver.

What settings do you use ?

[@BrettOssman]

Don't know of you still monitor this, but could we get your PS4 controller button settings?

[@slayerofmidgets3201]

this control scheme is old, ill tell you it anyway and the one i use now, both are with clutch manual left stick: steering (both) throttle and brakes are on the triggers (both) shift down: X shift up: square clutch is L1 (LB) handbrake is on circle (both) the new system i use has some issues but overall is faster i think, also with this system make sure in advanced settings clutch saturation is set to 5% and deadzone 95% shift down: right stick down shift up: right stick up clutch: right stick right this way you can flick the right stick up and right or down and right to shift and its very fast i find but it takes some getting used to and if you miss a gear its much slower than the older system and because muscle memory makes it really difficult to brake using my index finger i use L1 to look backwards

[@favkisnexerade]

what these controllers button mean though? xD

[@podcastbunker]

says the guy driving the biggest hacked car in wreckfest. LOL what a snob

[@slayerofmidgets3201]

It's not hacked at all, it's only good because it's a muscle car with the same engine as a muscle car but 6 gears, take the sv and set it to 5 gears, you will find it's identical to the venom when it's set to 1 gears, at that it's hardly an easy car to drive, and if you think otherwise ill gladly beat you in its normal counterpart

[@badbydesign8452]

No stability control....no driving aids... only way to go. Still need training wheels for your bicycle I bet!
