    ❗VERY IMPORTANT - READ THIS❗
    As I learn more about Motorsport's physics engine, I will add addendums to this pinned comment.
    •Suspension tuning •
    Suspension tuning was largely overlooked in this guide. What Forza Motorsport likes is for suspension to be tuned according to the weight balance of the car.
    For every 1% weight distribution toward either front or rear, we add 4 kgf/mm spring stiffness. In the case of the Porsche 911 GT3, with a 43/57 weight balance, this means that we add an additional 28kgf/mm on the rear springs.
    •Aero/Anti-Roll Bar Balance •
    Forza appears to suffer from a bit of the old rFactor 2 physics exploit, where a person can drop the rear aero level way back, and offset the loss in grip by also dropping the stiffness of the rear anti-roll bar.
    So far in my testing there appear to be diminishing returns here, but on faster tracks you can certainly gain lap time by dropping the rear wing a fair bit lower than I did in the video, and offsetting that by also dropping back the rear anti-roll bar.
    • For gamepad players •
    You MUST use 'Normal' steering (not 'Simulation') in order to be able to control tunes that rotate this much.
    For RWD cars, you may get more stability by setting Differential 'Acceleration' between 50% to 60%. Likewise, you may want the 'Deceleration' set between 20% and 40%.
    • For everyone •
    I've been told by a few sources that 'ideal' tyre pressures in Motorsport are between 1.7 to 2.2 bar. I've run a ton of tests, checked telemetry and lap performance, and so far I *always* get the best performance when my HOT tyre pressures are at 2.2 bar. Will keep you updated if this changes.

      Not true on normal steering - all the top players are using sim, although normal isn't much slower at all.
      Also, tire pressures are actually more sensitive in this game. Before, you'd set them to 28.0 or so and call it good. Now, you need to make sure the middle temps aren't too hot or too cold, which is still fairly easy with telem

    2:50 front better turns
    2:54: rear better stability at speed
    3:01: diffs acceleration: maximize for max pwr to wheels,
    3:27: especially for rear engine cars to wheel spin on throttle
    3:33: higher the decel the more understeer, less means more oversteer
    3:45 RWD: decel set

      Other sims have the same disconnect when it comes to how different settings impact performance. Even iRacing is not perfect. Years ago I got a tune from a guy who would provide them in exchange for Twitch subs and I was surprised at what I saw. It drove great and went fast but I couldn’t imagine a setup like that on a real car… although I’m not an engineer so maybe I’m just wrong.

    This is almost what I was looking for! I was looking for somebody to start with a base car and then go through the full upgrade and tuning of that vehicle! As I'm just starting out, I'm not sure what the "ideal" feel is for a vehicle in sim racing! Obviously, there's preference, but there is still an "optimal"/proper way to do things that I would love to learn as a foundation!
    I don't mind longer videos, especially when they're as informative as this. Even if you were to go much further into depth and drop a 30-60 minute video, I'd watch the whole thing multiple times! Thank you for this! I definitely appreciate all of the time and effort you put into the video!

    • @Ermz
      @Ermz  7 місяців тому +4

      I've heard this from a few Forza players. I'm going to try tuning low rear aero combined with low rear anti roll bar, in case aero doesn't work like reality. If the Forza engine is broken in the same way rFactor 2 was, this would result in max grip, oversteer and speed.

  • @matteusmaximus
    @matteusmaximus 7 місяців тому +1

    Great info, thanks! Although I would highly recommend folks check out the anti-dive anti-squat settings. You can get a lot better braking performance out of most cars reducing the default anti-dive. If the rear tires are sliding on the throttle, reducing anti-squat is a one-click fix. and you can leave your damper settings to deal with bumps. and if your rear tires AREN'T ever sliding on corner exits, increase the anti-squat until they're right at the edge of sliding and you get instantly better acceleration. I treat the damper settings like the fast bump/rebound in ACC, and the anti-squat/dive like slow bump/rebound.

    @cutegamerboy 7 місяців тому +56

    Your differential settings might be causing excess inner tire wear and oversteer. 100% setting means that on throttle the wheels are locked together in speed. Meaning if you’re on power in a corner, the inside wheel will try to match the outer wheel’s rotation, spinning and cause oversteer. On GT cars I use around 30-40% accel and 10-20 deccel for RWD Axle and 55% accel and 1% deccel on FWD axle. The inside tire will be able to rotate. This allows for getting on power before your opponent in most cases. Max % diff settings very good for drifting though!

    • @TheRealNaika
      @TheRealNaika 7 місяців тому +1

      In formula 1, use high diff for high speed corners for stability and grip, mid/low diff for slow corners. So all depends on track and driving style. Ofc in formula y adjust for most corners mid fly

    • @josephhodsall8371
      @josephhodsall8371 7 місяців тому

      I second this. High diff setting will help you put down power for sure, but it also makes the car oversteer on the throttle. This is very noticeable in RWD rally cars.

I was convinced the game sucks donkey balls because I had a five star tune on the Porsche 919 and it felt like I was driving on ice with summer tires. After watching this video, I can spend a few minutes tuning a car and suddenly it starts behaving like it should. And driving feels fun. The devs should give you a medal.

  • @michaelw6277

    The first thing I do with every car is drop the diff deceleration setting to 0 and only increase it as necessary (5 for mid/rear engine RWD car). With that most cars start to present a more natural behavior when you close the throttle to tighten your line mid corner.

      Theres some discrepancies with the tuning availability for certain parts (although its nothing different than their older games). Like the suspension upgrades for one - the description for the sport suspension refers to single way adjustable coilovers..that means we should be able to adjust the height and 1 type of damping (compression or rebound, preferably rebound). Then the race suspension could unlock complete tuning of the suspension. Whichever person(s) did the descriptions for the different upgrades seems to be a real enthusiast..all of the mods are about as accurately described as they can be for a 3 tier system.

    Toe is a weird one.. RWD you want stability on straights and turns so it doesn't drift. FWD id go for a more turn in rear but add rear aero to compensate for the loss of stability

    Car looks like it is drifting more around the corners then actually planting into them and carving into it... You can tell by how it looks and watching your steering wheel as it is not steady when you are taking corners, it's jumping around because you have to make multiple adjustments to keep yourself from spinning out...

      Which ultimately will kill tires faster in longer races. AND there's more to tuning, like how weight distribution and the difference between front / rear tire width affects handling characteristics, downforce mainly being tuned for high speed turns, while suspension for low-to-mid speed ones.

    Why on earth are you maxing the front ARB in a car you’ve identified as understeer heavy? You’ve just made it more understeery. Stiffening the back will increase oversteer but it’s opposite for the front. By maxing out the FRONT ARB, you’ve effectively decreased your front grip on mid to high speed corners.
    Fix understeer:
    Corner entry: lower front springs, lower front bump and rebound (or do opposite on rear)
    Mid corner: increase rear ARB, decrease front ARB, increase rear diff lock, decrease front and rear deceleration lock; can also stiffen suspension and increase camber in older or non-racing cars

    Your tune seems very twitchy. What i like to do is find a nice middle ground for anti roll bar and spring settings. You can use the formula [(max value - min value)×wt ratio + min value] here the wt ratio is the wt distribution of your car. If it is 55ft and 45 rear and your max and min values are 13 and 1 respectively then it will be [(13-1)×0.55 + 1] (this is for the front, for rear multiply it by rear wt ratio which in this case is 0.45). Which will give you a nice middle ground. Then you can fine tune it to your liking. You can do the same for bump stifness and the rebound stiffness is 60 percent of bump stiffness. So bump stifness multiplied by 0.6

      Hold up, hold up. Bump damping should pretty much always be lower than rebound. Too much bump damping causes poor turn in, and not enough rebound damping causes inconsistent grip. If your bump damping is stiffer than your rebound, one of these things is definitely happening. Possibly both!
      Just my two cents : )

    • @matteusmaximus
      @matteusmaximus 7 місяців тому

      yeah and the rollbars are totally irrelevant as well :D so no calculations necessary. If it was realistic you would need them to make the car stable. You can set both anti-roll settings to zero in every single car and they're all totally fine without. Which is what i was doing for a while, thinking that I was getting max grip on the outside tires while cornering, but ironically, since I guess the grip calculations are completely out of whack, he's right, you actually get better cornering speeds with the rollbars at max stiffness.

    • @josephhodsall8371
      @josephhodsall8371 7 місяців тому

      @@matteusmaximus You misunderstand how rollbars work. Soft roll bars give more stability, which is why rally cars, trophy trucks, and other offroad vehicles have soft rollbars. On a track, you need grip more than stability, so racecars run stiff rollbars, which you can easily see by how they don't roll very much in corners.

    I haven't tested yours yet, but I use 20.x-21.x (as close to .0 as possible) rollbars (so +1 rear) and 70-30 diff as a general setup and it works pretty well. I feel like 100% diff lock shouldn't work, it basically means fixed diff, which is good for drift cars, not so much for racing.

Cars that use to be stable and fast are squirrley and unmanageable. My touring cars are being dominated by less than skilled drivers and im starting to lose interest in even figuring out how to get my tunings back to what they were. Idk if its just my experience but I've used this video as a reference for every tune I do. I was better off just blindly learning on my own tweaking one thing at a time and feeling how it effected the car. Btw, are all these tuning tips under the assumption that were using a steering wheel/manual trans setup? Is any of this viable for a controller?

    Do you know if changing the brake bias will also affect tire wear? Like if farther back bias uses more rear tires on breaking therefore more evenly distributed wear?

    • @Ermz
      @Ermz  7 місяців тому

      I think this will only be the case if you're not running ABS and often lock the tyres. Having more even brake pressures can avoid locking, which will reduce tyre wear. The only other impact I can imagine is that if you move it rearward, the extra oversteer under braking might avoid scrubbing the fronts (big issue with default setups).

    @RichardGardnerUK 7 місяців тому

    Hmmm, a bit of an oversimplification of suspension in the Forza context, I can see how Forza isn't a sim, but if your car bottoms out it's a whole heap of pain. This is especially so with bumps as Forza kerbs are notoriously made out of ice.
    As for the camber, you can validate your choices by checking tire temperatures as you corner. This is more difficult than previous Forza games as the telemetry is simplified, but even if Forza isn't a sim one could assume the logic refers to having a better contact patch into its math.
    As for the PSI, it was 32PSI (2.2Bar) on the previous Forza games, but I'm not finding it the same this time around. I often run 28PSI front and 24-26PSI rear when tires are warm and the difference between that and 32PSI is night and day - this is all with race tire compounds.
    I would hazard a guess the feel of a tune between controller and wheel is massively different, it was on previous Forza games, but I don't have a wheel for Forza to confirm. It's possible this tune works great on a wheel, but it could be another picture on a controller.
