ok to be blue, go harris

21:25 thanks for pointing that out... it is not something you hear often in these kind of videos. What a lot of people ignore is there is a "optimal working window" for most of the setup parameters

Why make a seven-degree spread on the front tires when a better contact patch indicates a 2-degree spread on the tire at the end of a long straight when they tires are not deformed, this also ensure that the ware rate is even on all four tires? Your set up will eat up tires, and defeat the purpose of adjusting caster and camber.

Hey why does my car just give away after pushing very hard, go into a corner under heavy and feel like the doesn’t want to respond anymore, car spins

You need to make a setup vid for other simulator combined. You are missing lots of views here. Make for ACC AC iR Not saying your videos dont apply there but then you want youtube algos to work that way for you

Does all of this apply to the formula cars as well? I mean like your tyre temp ideas, are these the same when the wheels are open wheels in terms of the IMO temps etc? I wonder if there was a car you usually drive that you had in mind when making this video series? Not saying you were , just curious as so many people only play the GT3 cars these days, I am more a formula car guy, especially the older ones

No one discusses how suspensions and damper affects brake locking. I had this feeling but no one on the internet talked about it. They only say to adjust bias but bias isn’t enough

I found all 3 parts extremely helpful - this indeed deserves way more credit! Thanks for sharing all this info. Just a quick question: Is there a particular order I should follow when tweaking the setups? Or, am I supposed to follow the same order as presented in all three parts? Thanks

It would be interesting to update this video, as the settings are no longer the same in today's version of AMS2

That is the best explanation of dampers tuning i ever saw!

hey man is there a anyway for you to update this set up? it seems like the units arent the same for me as far as N/M and i cant use some of the specs like downforce. id love to try this set up of yours but id like to get every spec of it.

Thanks for the video mate

will you be making a video on using telemetry data to help with tuning one of these days? it would be greatly appreciated

This has been the best explanation on setups. I am going to watch the rest of your vids. Thank you for your time and effort. Excellent job.

Still consider myself a semi serious noob, but how do I get your build onto my car. I have done the camero ss in manual, but still trying to work on technic and driving automatic in the Porsche on this track(#2 and #116 in time trials respectively). Nice video. I subscribed and need to look at race rules before I get on track with anyone besides my friends.

So, 2 years later now...what is the current status? Need to know as we start a series soon. Any hints for me?

Outstanding Thank you

Thanks for these mate, I felt after numerous years of default setups and the lack of enthusiasm to learn car setups your guides over this last week have helped tons. Taking small steps and feeling how the car behaves is vital but above all there is something truly satisfying knowing you have created a setup which improves your times. Thanks alot mate

Strange, I can't set the Anti Roll Bar. It is set to 0. When I click on one of the brackets, nothing change. It looks like it is locked.

Keep up these setup vids man it helps alot and even more that you have in depth knowledge of the physics as you have worked on them for reiza 🔥

You're an awesome teacher and I appreciate this content so much !! Guna have to go check all your content out but atm I'm rewatching this series over and over haha

Thank-you for this 3 years later lol 😂 getting my Ams2 legs 😎

Awesome stuff, just awesome !!! 👍

Great job - thx!

Where are you guys getting this telemetry overlay

Sir you are a mothafuckin G. Just so you know. Simply the best. Thank you so so so much for actually explaining things, and not just saying rules of thumbs copied over a billion times. Big up sir. Thank u so much

just wanted to say thanks for posting this video. ive been having a problem where i kept being disqualified on the 14th lap. regardless of entering the pits and thought it was a bug. well now i know its no. The default was causing. as i was unaware this area even exisited. Ive now used your guide and setup several pit stops and am able to set them as and when i want. i can get on and enjoy the game now ( again) . thanks for posting it was a game chnager for me.

Very clear explanations!! Thank you, you are a great teacher!! God bless you!!

This video is genius, I learned so much, thank you very much.

Algún set para el stock car2023 en long beach?

I came here looking for setups and advices on GT3, I found none of that but got more than I ever wanted.

hi i have a question my spring rate slow bump and slow rebound are in single numbers and not this N/mm or N/m/s how do a change that or translate the numbers for the setup you build to mine?

Interesting , I have only driven the 79 Lotus so far , and have driven it extensively with setups for all tracks , only just got Sim so started at 95 opponent strength for first stage of setting up cars , doing Champions , set ups for all tracks. I qualify 2 to 5 seconds faster than second on all tracks except Donnington , and finish 10 lap races 10 to 40 seconds up , of course I will be increasing opponent strength soon , I find the car to be perfectly balanced and physics great , I always setup suspension as stiff as possible unless it creates grip issues , and dialling in diff settings is vital for balance in and out of corners. The car is very responsive to adjustment and dialling in all handling under all situations , entry exit , mid corner etc. I do forced pitstops in race , for some reason I am struggling on Donnington , I might try out of style setup , softer all round as it's only track I'm not getting poles on. I prefer earlier era F1 , I do not like that Halo BS it's annoying

Those telemetry readouts should just show the average over 300 milliseconds. It's impossible to gauge what all those flickering numbers mean.

Amazing video. Keep doing more of these. Very informative. I probally learned more in this video than the past 2 years of playing the sim.

I just discovered this mod. I tried this after upgrading to a Fanatec CSL DD wheel. This makes am amazing upgrade in performance of the AMS2 FFB.

'Promo sm' 👏

Hopefully someone can answer this, if the car has been set up for 20c in practice and Q thats all good, but the temps drastically change mid race what do you do because the tire pressure does not have enough effect

Does this video still apply to AMS2 after the 1.5 update?

Amazing video! I've watched your other setup series a few times now, thank you so much for this.

Hey steel, nice video and I understand the logic behind pretty much everything other than the temp difference inside to outside, why would you not want it to be even across the whole tyre in an ideal situation?

I disagree with your comment about being balanced handling. As of version 1.5 I think this car is still broken somehow with how much it exhibits understeer. Regardless of setup, what you get is a 400horsepower tub that will not rotate on power? You can literally crank the steering and pin the throttle in a slowish corner and you will not spin, you will just have lazy understeer. It feels like the game has a magic impossible centring force acting on the front wheels that won’t let the car rotate. I have tried some patently silly set ups trying to maximize instability to pray for some nice rotation on coast or even on power but you get nothing. I’ve tried having front toe out, all sorts of crazy stiff rear bars, differentials at 89 degrees and no preload, all of the above… still just feels like a slug. The only way I can drive it is to try to turn it in with the brakes, which certainly is an experience, but there’s no way that’s what the car should drive like.

Instant subscribe

omg what an absolute banger! on repeat!

Good to have you back miss your vids. Are the old set up tutorials still applicable since 1.5 update ? 2:16

Very nice! * insert borat meme *

Hey man very informative video 👌🏼 but can you update all your videos I’m really struggling with the 1974 rsr Porsche also the fact that the physics has been updated and things look different to your settings in that vid about the rsr

Excellent setup adjustment run down! The interesting thing i found is you are using a custom ffb profile. Not a fan of the defaults? Also What wheel are you using?

Excellent!! Obviously you cannot do such a video for each and every car ... but every now and then a car setup from a different group of cars would be just mega. BTW, this setup works very well for Barcelona too. Cheers.
