FH5 Hot Wheels - Wheel Users?

Using controller
No drama when entering loops or barrel-rolls.

Using wheel
Lots of drama when entering barrel-rolls, some drama when entering loops. It is like when breaking “gravity” the whole thing swifts on the wheel, especially noticeable on the barrel-rolls.

Also, the general road feel is way heavier on the hot wheel tracks than normal tracks.

Am I the only one feeling that the wheels in hot wheels are off?

G923 here, and yeah, there are some funky things going on for us.

Some sections of track cause fishtailing no matter what I do, or how I tune. This mostly happens at the start of transitions into some of the magnetic corkscrews.

Some loops can cause the same thing, even though I steer into them the same as any other loop on the map.

One thing I noticed is, raise your ride heights a bit, that will help with the transitions and loops because I think what happens is you’re bottoming out.

I haven’t found many of them that just do it every time… after raising my ride height, a lot of them got much better or it didn’t happen any more.

GLHF!

Thanks, I will try the ride height thing, after all, I do need to re-tune my cars for those boost unless I want to blow my engine with over-revs :slight_smile:

No.
Go into difficulty settings and turn Hotwheel stunt steering off.Its a new option at bottom of the list that is turned on by default . Jezza mentioned it in another thread

I did find it strange how they set all those new settings as default. Was slightly anoying having to turn them off.

Aaaaaaah, thanks for this information, I did search the forums first, but didn’t find anything for “forza horizon 5 hot wheels wheel” :o :o

Interesting indeed,
made my way up to X Class without checking here first, so about 101 Mule kicks through steering wheel inflicted before I saw that there is a setting in Difficulty out of all places, ( I had ckecked everything else )
now is there one to turn the silly G-Meter thing off as well ?

Yep,in the hud settings iirc

It’s because of the surface difference’s. Just look at the telemetry and you can see it’s quite different than anything else in regular FH5.

Tire type is more important in hot wheels than anything. You also need raised ride heights for certain sections like you said and also tons of downforce.

The general tune should also be quite different than usual. Stiffer suspension settings are a good start with them setup for less oversteer because of surface type. Also braking balance 2-5% to the front wheels and no abs or traction control but stability control is ok but like normal it slows you down.

Oh, the heavier the rims the better.

Yeah it should be way smaller. I find it blocks the view for me, I don’t want to remove it totally maybe there is an opacity setting not sure…
