I don’t know about anyone else’s experience with forza 7 but I wanted to ask if anyone has been having difficulty in general with the handling on forza 7?
I’ve played SIM racers for a long time and although I’m by no means the best I certainly know what I’m doing. Hower on forza 7 I’m finding the car handling to be almost impossible!
I recently bought a thrustmaster tmx and set the wheel to a preset which seems to be absolutely spot on but despite this I’m finding that with simulation assists and no traction control even the most basic low powered of road cars (for example and almost stock mx5) are violently spinning and oversteering at the absolute slightest of input and as soon as the back end steps out if I even think about putting in opposite lock the car jacknifes.
Having traction control on doesn’t help either because the slightest slip causes the game to completely cut the cars power and leaves you a sitting duck for everyone to overtake! Is it a problem with the game or the wheel? I’ve played asseto corsa and the wheel is brilliant and I have no handling issues at all. Help?!
I would keep trying and adjusting different settings until you sort it to your liking. Of all of the faults of this game, handling is not one of them. It’s no SIM, but as a really fun arcade game, the handling is quite good and predictable.
You can try these wheels settings if you want.
900 degrees rotation
46 linearity
89 Force Feedback
100 Force Feedback understeer
124 Minimum force
100 Wheel dampening
93 Center Spring
10 Vibration
Maybe that will help, if not, just turn sim steering off. It get’s a while to get used to sim steering.
This, it will do wonders. I would tell you that it is an setting for game pads and not wheels but no need to open that can-o-snakes again.
Sounds like with the throttle inputs it’s giving you 100% or nothing. I play with a controller at the moment but I did have this issue to begin with, then I turned the button sensitivity down. WAY down. The default setting is literally 100%. Perhaps it has an effect on the wheel too. You certainly shouldn’t have this problem, the handling on this game is superb. I agree about the tcs too, it’s far too intrusive…but there is occasions where it is quite helpful with a controller… for example it’s impossible to drive a damn Ultima GTR with homologation rules that restrict it to “street” tyres and no free PI points to install any front aero without tcs. It’s got a thousand horsepower and weighs less than a ton for christ sakes. Try remembering your braking zones when you’re doing 200mph on a street circuit and you can’t even see the distance boards for the corner before you have to start braking, and your front end is trying to leave the ground.
Welcome to Forza dude… I just made a post on the F7 thread attempting to ask users if the game is anything like FH3. Like yourself, I can manage other sim racing games well. Project Cars 1/2, IRacing, Dirt Rally, etc… Forza scares me , because you don’t know what you’re getting your hands on until you buy the game. The Demo of these games doesn’t give you enough info. For instance, in forza horizon 3, the tracks were commonly a combination of dirt and road which made it impossible to tune a car properly. If I tuned the car to drive well on pavement, it would fall apart on the dirt portion of the track… That was a bad idea. It also didn’t help that there seems to be some issue with calibrating wheels and the game. I can’t find a place to calibrate my wheel in forza horizon 3. I’ve used the thrustmaster calibration tool, but I believe my problems with forza are game side. Just tapping the gas will have you in a spin out in forza. Something that doesn’t happen in any other game I own. Also, in cockpit view, the drivers hands show a complete turn when I’m just slightly moving the wheel from side to side. Something isn’t right.
sounds good
