The hardcore mode is very good i think, but has anyone else noticed that sometimes the driving aid doesnt work even though its turned on??

Please explain in detail what you mean.

Understeer, Oversteer or Wheelspin? (There is also lots more lol)

It's kinda hard to help when you barely give us any info to work with.

But I am willing to state one thing for sure, it is very likely your driving style.

Well in real life, virtually all of the high performance cars do just that!

they have to put driving aids on real life cars cos the numpty's that buy them don't know how a car has to be driven at high speed, which is why we now have to put up with traction control systems that stop the wheels from losing grip which affects the performance of the engine and also changes the inertia of the car.

in my opinion a car should be driven in real life without any aids cos your then not restricting it in any way, which gives you total access to the cars true power....

but then thats just my opinion.... :nuts: :nuts:

i was just driving my gallardo spyder (not tuned) round the corner in hardcore mode, as i was turning i gave it full power, expecting the revs to be limited and the car to grip and go, the revs werent limited and the car spun out as i was not expecting dramatic oversteer. Its definetly not my driving style as i cudve limited the revs my self if i knew it was goin to happen. It was truly unrealistic as Lamborghinis are 4wd and have over-protective ESP systems.

4WD doesn't seem to work in TDU, slight bug there. Plus, I'm assuming you've got Driving Aids off, which would technically disable the over-protective ESP systems.

almost everytime my driving aid is on, and over-protective ESP system is called that because it still interferes when ESP is supposedly turned off because of inexperienced drivers.

Thus a reason not to own a Lambo if you want a 'drivers' car...

anyway, even AWD can spin out, as Lambos push more power to the rear than the front, initial oversteer can happen at lower speeds (1st and 2nd gear usually, depending on the BHP)

If you punch the throttle midturn in any car you will upset the balance of it, thus under/oversteer is caused...

TBH, I am surprised that you oversteered and span instead of understeering, cos the front wheels should have pulled you towards the outside of the turn, hmm, maybe you kicked the throttle so fast and hard even the Lambo didn't know what had happened LOL

then how come when i usually do it the car grips, but after you switch the driving aid on and off it spins out

No idea..

Anyone care to try and explain this, when I was driving the SLR (stock) for the TGU (TopGear) show, I pulled a .1 sec faster 0-60MPH with NO aids than with full driving aids ?????

A. You have to be a worthy driver in HCM.

B. It's finished for a bit (as far as i know)
