Do you guys use the tuning functions in the game?

You see, the problem here is , we only know how to play the game.

In safe shop, there is a features for you to tune your car, by yourself.

OMG, i dont even know how to tune it.

Do you think is useful, as i prefer there is an autotuning

I think he is refering to the extensive tuning of UG2.

For me, I haven't found a need to tune a car yet. Game is too easy I guess.

flatlander757 · Post by **flatlander757** » 30 Dec 2005, 05:16

I always turn the turbo or supercharger all the way up, usually reduce height by one or so, play with the steering and handling until it oversteers a bit, but doesn't spin out.

Lots of trial and error.

Sometimes, but I wish they had in-depth tuning like in Underground 2.

Sorry, i am refering to MW.

You can find the Tuning features which you can tune your car yourself.

Like brakes tuning, you can drag the indicator more to right or more to left.

I am working now, i cant upload any pictures.

I think this tuning features can be found when you are in the safe workshop.

I could only find the tuning menu when the car is on a road (free roam or race) and I interrupt it.

I usually set turbo / super charger all the way right. Ride height all the way left, and aerodynamics all the way right. I haven't messed with handling.

Handling adjusts the front to rear grip ratio, but not the overall grip. Although it should only affect cornering grip, it also affects braking and takeoff. Move the handling 3 clicks or more to the right, and the decrease in rear grip is enough that launches are noticably slower, and most cars will spin very easily.

basically, when u do tuning, you have to go to free roam to try out

in another words, you have to go in and out of safe workshop/free roaming after you tune your car

sound very retarded to me. time wasted to tune yourself

plus if you upgrade to new performance, most likely you have to redo your personal tuning.

Best way, is there is a button for auto tuning according to which way you want to.

For example, you choose handling, by pressing the button, it auto tune to your best handling according to your car performance.

You can tune your car part way through a race, from the Pause menu (at least you can on PC, not sure about consoles).

I always whack the Turbo and Nitrous on full, ride height on minimum and maybe turn the handling up one or two notches. Never bothered with the aerodynamics, probably because I often don't fit anything other than stock spoilers cos they are not too pretty.

I haven't used the tuning-option in MW, because I don't need it

In Underground 2 it was more usefull.

Saeidi · Post by **Saeidi** » 31 Dec 2005, 01:15

agreed ^^.

Tunerfreak · Post by **Tunerfreak** » 31 Dec 2005, 13:16

I use it, theres a noticable difference.

I smack the steering right up, the suspension right down, and the spoilers resonably high. That gets my rides hugging those corners like railroads

Off topic - Why am I last to post, like everywhere in this forum

Saeidi · Post by **Saeidi** » 01 Jan 2006, 05:32

Well, it would be good if there were some tips......not the ones ingame..

@Tunerfreak: (Offtopic) I am also in the same situation as you are.

Tunerfreak · Post by **Tunerfreak** » 01 Jan 2006, 07:52

Another tip, When you have the downforce and steering etc really high, you can blow through the corners a helluva lot faster than them coppers if the coppers even make it round wheels down.

flatlander757 · Post by **flatlander757** » 01 Jan 2006, 15:45

I've found that I can go a bit crazier on the tuning for steering/handling if I use the "bumper" camera...

The Viper handles awesome once you learn how to tune and control it
