After some messing around with my in game controller settings, I seemed to have partially solved some issues when drifting with 900°. But not all of them. The issue I am having, is that the wheel is struggling to rotate on its own while drifting. This has mostly been solved with my new settings, and they may help for racing also. I have yet to test in a race.
Basic controller options:
“Rumble” OFF!
steering deadzone 0/100
Accel deadzone 0/100
Braking deadzone 0/100
Clutch deadzone 15/75
Vibration 0%
Force feedback 60%
steering rotation 900° for road cars + drifting
Race cars 540°
Open wheel race cars 300° to 360°.
For what ever reason, it appears the rumble/vibration effects are messing with the force feedback for wheels. I get the impression that after my alterations, that it may be down to the heptic feedback for the default controllers triggers interfering some how. After turning Rumble off and setting vibration to 0%, the wheel will now rotate on its own while drifting. For the most part anyway. There also seems to be issues with sports tires, which have always been the go to tires for competitive drifting in Forza. These tires are most in line with what are used in real world drifting competitions, which is why the tandem drifting community adopted their use when drifting in most situations. This still seems to be causing some minor issues with the steering wheel rotating on its own in a drifting situation, but in a stock car with its normal road tires, there is no longer any issues. Obviously there is some funky things going on in Forza Motorsport 6’s underpinnings. Both in the controller settings when a wheel is in use, and with the tires in the game. These issues are a non issue when the default controller is in use however, just when using a racing wheel. I will be doing more testing on this, and will update my settings in this thread accordingly.
