Default P400 Config Terrain Response ... "Fake Dynamic Mode"

This is a riot / made me laugh out loud driving around town... Was playing around with the configurable terrain response in my P400 110X this morning. I created 1 profile and named it "Fake Dynamic Mode" with all of the most aggressive settings.

-Steering feels great tighter around town and on highway
-It improves the one thing that I don't like about the car around town... the transmission shifts are soooo slow and lazy (I do believe shift points speed up under hard acceleration). Shifts in this "mode" are a bit jerky and much faster.
-It holds gears like a manual.. and shift points are in the 3-4-5k RPM range (much higher than usual)
-Decelerating, it holds gears even a bit longer than an L494 V8SC Sport in Dynamic mode (if that reference tracks for any of you that have driven one hard in dynamic mode)

EDIT: Did a fast run to the airport tonight and flipped it into Fake Dynamic Mode. Realized the cruise / adaptive cruise won't work while in the TR modes.

Anyway, kind of amusing, and probably not for my everyday driving, but if you're going to hoon the Defender around I recommend giving it a go. Pics below.

I wonder how close this is to the "actual" dynamic mode folks post about having coded in (or that is on the V8).

That’s a neat bit of tinkering! I love the idea of us “regular folks” pushing the envelope to truly explore the permutations and combinations of all the customizable tech that’s nested inside these rigs (and maybe finding combinations the original software engineers may have not considered). Reminds me of past decades beta testing CAD software before it was commonplace - software developers coming back with “we never thought of doing that with our product” or “we didn’t know our product could do that”

I’m still sorting out all the basics of the tech - but my first reaction was to ponder what creative alchemy could be created. Keep it up and I foresee a sticky topic on the subject

Configurable TR is fun to play with.

I just added locked center diff for snow and ice mode. Any other cool settings?
