• Details:
  • Bumps and Bounces:
    • Defaults reduced so that bumps aren't transmitted as intensely to ffb and bouncing in cars are reduced (eg. long straight at Magny-Cours)
    • Some parameters may be overridden in Location GDB file (ie. mods, eg. RoadBumpAmp, RoadBumpLen) and so you'll need to modify the GDB in those cases
  • Grip:
    • Rain grip levels increased so that rain driving can be challenging but still enjoyable
    • I had thought the default 75% grip levels for rain in GTR2 were roughly accurate for racing tarmac but there's other variables at play, including tyre wet grip curves, that make it feel overly slippery so grip level are increased until it feels about right for wet racing behaviour such as braking distances, mid corner understeer, and corner exit wheel spin.
    • Some parameters may be overridden in Location GDB files (ie. mods, eg. RoadWetGrip, AIWetGrip) and so you'll need to modify the GDB in those cases
