The real Mini had none of those. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/13821-dirt-rally-the-xdbx-league/page/2/#findComment-182510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protocawl 2,971 Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) So footage on the vehicle setup teachings will come at a later date, but I'll give you the quick basics of it in writing (reading the in-game description of each setting will also explain it quite well): Brake Bias - If your car acts all twitchy or you tend to lose the rear end too easily under heavy braking, that means you'll probably need to move the brake bias more towards the front to make it more stable under braking into turns, but also make steering less responsive while braking and turning. If you keep going wide while braking into turns and feel the steering is not responsive enough, you'll have to move the brake bias more towards the rear to make the car more loose while braking and turning. If you move the bias too far from the middle, your wheels will lock under braking and you'll become a passenger - make sure to avoid that. Front Differential - If you're facing a very fast, high-grip surface (tarmac) with mostly straights and not that many (sharp) corners, then you can loosen the front diff to increase your car's traction and stability. If it's twisty roads and/or loose surface (dirt, gravel) you're facing with lots of corners and few straights, strengthening the front diff will improve your cornering capabilities. If it's anything in between, leaving it close to 50-50 can work best. Rear Differential - If you need more traction, strengthen the rear diff; if you need better cornering capabilities at speed, loosen the rear diff. Gears - When facing twisty roads with lots of corners/sharp turns and few straights, shorten your gear ratios to improve acceleration. When facing high-speed roads and/or few/fast corners, lengthen the gear ratios to improve top speed. Suspension (Front/Rear) - The bumpier the road, the softer the setting should be; the smoother the road, the firmer the setting can be set, but doesn't have to be. Suspension usually needs less tweaking than dampers. Damping (Front/Rear) - Similarly to suspension, when facing very bumpy and jumpy roads, soften the dampers; when facing smooth tarmac surface, set dampers to as firm as you want. That is also the order of importance, as in changing Brake Bias makes the biggest difference in changes to car behaviour, diffs come next, then gears, and finally suspension and damping affect the behaviour of your car the least of those, but still noticeably. Also, make sure to read the in-game descriptions of these settings and make good use of Shakedowns to try out your setup changes! If you find the perfect setup for certain conditions for a certain car, don't forget to save the setups! @Beez@Dodge@LimeGreenLegend@skip_rat Edited November 25, 2017 by Protocawl 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/13821-dirt-rally-the-xdbx-league/page/2/#findComment-182577 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protocawl 2,971 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Just finished the stages, too. 2nd stage I was only 3 seconds faster than Dodge. Had 1 bad crash on stage 1, other than that, pretty smoothly.

Beez 5,091 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 At one point on stage 2 I ran into something that stopped me. Just as I was backing up the game reset me and gave me a 15 sec penalty. If it just let me get going again I would not have lost as much time. Still had fun though. Then I did Finland in my Fiat Abarth and got 2nd in Career mode.

But the cleaner you get with your rallying, the less you'll have to deal with those eventually.

I'm using a controller for everything right now. No extra cash for a proper wheel set yet and I don't see much point in buying the cheapest ones either.

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 T150 isn't bad for racing on a budget. I have one as I've had my T300 replaced a couple of times and didn't wanna be without in the meantime. Probably 120 pounds. Was quite decent on DiRT Rally. Some guys use the T80 as it has no distracting forces, just a basic bungee cord. Probably 50 pounds. It doesn't need to cost a months rent Post some videos! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/13821-dirt-rally-the-xdbx-league/page/2/#findComment-182708 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can find something online that'll cost me less than local, I'll probably get a T150. Not sure about the T80... There's a handful of rally videos on my YT channel, but I'll try and get more uploaded soon.

I had to buy the Mini to start the event but since it's brand new to me it doesn't have enough miles for upgrades so its stock anyway.
