P.S; From my, admittedly limited track experience IRL, turning in while OFF the brakes was for me much easier physically than when attempting even minor trail braking.
Could lean quicker, and turn tighterwhen coasting/balancing the throttle to the apex

Use your legs and core body strength. Id get yourself a set of stomp grips to stick on your tank makes it less tiring on your legs because of friction.. so you dont have to squeeze the tank as much lol. But yeah taking as much pressure off your arms as you can will let you control the bike better, brake later and save your arms getting tired from the braking forces etc

Hi guys. Need your opinion on this. I've been playing around with trail braking for a while now and I can't really replicate the correct feeling. When putting weight on the front the bike should be easier to steer, but instead it feels like the opposite and I keep missing the apex every time. If I finish braking before the corner and go in coasting I make the apex... which just feels wrong to me. Another problem I've noticed is that trying to tighten the line with the rear brake on certain bikes is just impossible. Even if I just apply 1-5% rear brake the rear tire looses traction and the bike goes down. That really should not happen since I should be miles away from locking the rear, or upsetting the bikes geometry enough to lose the front (usually though the rear lets go and not the front).

Any thought or ideas? Am I doing it wrong/thinking wrong about this or is it down to faulty game and/or bike physics?

Try getting most of the heavy braking done at your brake marker and start slowly releasing the brake as you head for your apex. If you hold onto the brake too much the bike wont turn in..

Also with bigger bikes its better to square off the corner.. so in deeper on the brakes. Turn. And fire it out of the turn. Whereas smaller bikes you can maintain more corner speed with different sweeping lines

more 250..

Looking great mystic

Lovely track nice one

Nice one cheers 

Hey, where can I find these bikes?

But you've got other settings like fork oil.. which actually measures the air in the forks if I remember right.

Could do with a garage setting explanation somewhere if there isn't one 😁

Going from 5 to 3 will make it rebound faster.. less damping

Yeah of course I agree!

So is the bike in-sim locking the rear and skidding? Or is it just sliding out as the rear wheel slows?

The other point is that you can get the same effect by releasing the clutch lever slowly on your final downshift before the corner on the brakes. Whereas with a slipper you can release the lever straight away.

Just wondering if it helps in game having more modulation on the clutch

Any chance you could add a dynamic surface to it?? Cheers

Slipper clutch stops the rear locking but doesn't stop sliding. Probably slides more if you are aggressive with the downshifts. Especially if you rely completely on the slipper.

Be interesting to hear from somebody using a clutch lever on a control system.. if you can modulate the clutch use any better.

Iv always used an xbox or similar controller with the clutch on the right thumbstick. Not much modulation and requires careful small movement compared to a full real lever.

bit sketchy but fun
