All / Rear Wheel Steering

Hi,

I would like to suggest that All/Rear Wheel Steering and its benefits are simulated in FM8, as it is in other high end racing sims such as Assetto Corsa. Simulating this feature is essential for any modern racing sim as it has a big effect on the real life cars that possess it, improving cornering ability at both low & high speeds where it reduces body roll, improves traction and lowers wear on the tires at the same time.

Porsche amongst others have been using it for quite a while to make heavy cars as capable (sometimes even more so) of cornering as lighter cars. A good example being the 2013 Porsche 918 Spyder, which despite an almost 300 kg weight disadvantage, was/is able to corner even better than a P1 or LaFerrari when all three were on the same tyres.

Unsurprisingly A/RWS has for this reason been used in more and more top end performance cars, with brands such as Porsche, Audi, Acura, BMW, Lexus, Nissan, Mercedes, Ferrari, Lamborghini etc all making good use of it in some of their models.

Hence for the sake of realism I really hope his feaure is properly represented in FM8, as it was entirely missing in FM7, whilst other high end racing sims had it simulated (E.g. Assetto Corsa).

Fh5 has aws so I expect nothing less from fm

Just sooo many QOL things missing from this game. Rear wheel steering, launch control, etc. Handling feels amazing so I guess that’s where all the 6 year went. Shame. This has such potential.

How can it be that rear wheel steering isn’t implemented in Forza Motorsport 8 ? It’s in Horizon for pete’s sake, and FM8 is supposed to be MORE not less realistic.

What’s the deal devs?
