Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec ABS system discussion. Learn about the brake controller and how it affects car stopping performance.
The brake controller in Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec is labeled as an ABS system in the setup menu and manual. However, some players find that it seems to lock up frequently and do not feel it consistently operates at the car's stopping limit, whether on straights or in corners. Players have not found settings that make the system feel like it's always stopping the car at its maximum potential.
In real life, ABS is highly effective and can allow cars to stop faster than those without it, without hindering performance. Unlike systems such as ASM (Active Stability Management) and TCS (Traction Control System), ABS does not impede the car's handling or braking in reality. Some players feel that if the cars in Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec had sports brakes and ABS, they should stop much more quickly, but this is not always the case.
- Experiment with setting the brake controller very low; some players report this makes it act more like an ABS system.
- Consider that real-life ABS allows for faster stopping without hindering performance, unlike some other simulated systems.
