Preach! Such as any profession in life. If the best people in the profession make 10’s-100’s of millions of dollars, you’d bet your bottom dollar that they earn every single penny. Especially if we’re talking sports.
Motorsports is one of the hardest sports out there outclassed by popular combat sports only.
As the saying goes “Speed kills”, and this is true even on the track. Speed has claimed some of the greatest drivers in history’s lives. Speeding is dangerous and shouldn’t be taken lightly. All it takes is a quick lapse in judgement, an untimely blow out/mechanical failure, or numerous other factors to find yourself out of control at speed.
Couple pushing limits with street driving, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for disaster. Keep it on the track and get an instructor, so you don’t cause harm to yourself and others. Safety first!
I drive with Fanatec Podium DD1 and Mclaren GT3 Wheel. The details in FFB are at least as good as in Raceroom or ACC, I am more consistent and much faster than with a gamepad. You can drive the car extremely precisely and operate at the limit. I can only recommend everyone to drive with good equipment.
I picked up my dusty g29 to test how it will go… Definitely my pace with wheel way worse than with gamepad buy I’m still learning…
But in terms of tunes all I had to do was to change diff settings from 100/0 to default ish 70/30, to makes handling bit easier, but still with my tunes I have to fight my cars between understeers and oversteer, gamepad is definitely lot easier and faster for casual players.
And for whatever reason default deceleration dead zone is 5/50 so I changed it to normal 5/95, since my brake pedal is quite sensitive.
Hi, is it possible to know the procedure you do to connect the csl elite pedals to the game? As I do not recognise them in the game, it only recognises the steering wheel. How do you select the settings in steam and in the peripherals game? Or is there a special procedure for fanatec? Thanks
Yes. Steering precision and control are MUCH better with a wheel. I’d recommend dialing back the force feedback initially until you get used to the way it is implemented, and running with at least the traction control turned to “sport” until you get your foot “calibrated”.
After doing around 50 laps total on nurburgring full, in my slow Type 35, i can sugest only one thing… Turn off ABS. Abs makes wheel handling rly hard, due to unnecesary oversteer when braking.
I’ve been doing something like this for almost a month now. All I did was cut the game’s FFB output to 45. I use to run it at 100. There was a video I seen on YouTube that made the suggestion, and said to use a light touch when racing.
At first things did feel a little vauge, but I did get used to the lower forces. Now my wheel just feels right, and I find racing in the game to be less tiring and easier on my arms and joints. Plus straight ahead oscillations are nolonger an issue.
Honestly, there are no downsides to doing this.
Edit: This is for Direct Drive wheelbases. Belt or gear driven bases will lose a lot of detail doing this, and lightening the forces will not be as simple as lowering the FFB gain.
Same here, that is exactly why I bought my wheel. I use kb/m for everything else. I only use a gamepad on the rare occasion I fire up one of my consoles.
that’s sad - i’ve read many reports of people saying the opposite but if i’m hearing this straight from the horse’s mouth then they’ve a long way to go.
The main issue is steering and degrees of motion - Forza doesn’t model that on a per car basis like Assetto Corsa, DR2, and PCARS 2 e.g.
Sorry but you can tune steering for every car. When your tuning a car the very last slider you can tune the DOR. I think it’s a 30 to 100 slider, the lower you go the lower the DOR. I use it all the time.
I use a controller as I have a nerve pain condition in my feet which driving with pedals causes me a lot of pain. I’m ok in my real car as it’s nice and comfortable to drive and natural plus it’s an automatic with adaptive cruise control which helps.
I tried a wheel for Forza but it was agony and slowed me down so much. If had a proper rig with a good seat I’d be ok i think. I don’t have the room though or the money. I used a wheel stand which was far from perfect. I’d love a go in a proper rig.
