Autonomous Adjustments

Hello,
I'm using the "Autonomous" mode and using the "slippery" configuration to run a car. Am I able to adjust the "slipping" of the car as it takes a corner? Or is that pre-rigged? Right now, its slipping too much for me and I would like to tone that down.
Thanks in advance!

Sure, simply make the Skidding Offset Value smaller. If you want full control of the slippyness you should set the offset to 0 and use an analog input to control the amount of slipping in real time.

Thanks Luigi,
I'm running the car on a path. Because I want it to be more controlled as it is driving through "city streets" environment. But I did what you said and it made a big difference. I just need to dial down the car car after it exits the turn to make it straighten out sooner.
How do you get the car to straighten out sooner after the turn so that its not still slipping?
I have it taking the turn the way I want now. (per your instruction)

Ok, what I would do to straighten it out would be to manually steer the car while it is under autonomous control. I.e. you simply use your input device to "manipulate" the autonomous path. Also increase the slow motion factor to make it easier.
