Key Features I would like to see added to Apex ASAP

Forza Motorsport Legacy Motorsport
1

I have been a Forza fan for over 10 years, since the original Forza 1 launched on the first Xbox. Since then, I have bought and played every game extensively and am now fully immersed in the sim racing hobby. I love Forza 6 on my Xbox One, but obviously adding Forza to the PC sim racing world is an opportunity to expand the scope of features Forza offers to include things that hardcore sim racers enjoy. Accordingly, here are the key updates I would like to see Turn 10 add to Apex ASAP:

  1. Racing Wheel Support - This is the first Forza game that has been released without wheel support out of the box. That being said, its also the first Forza game that has been released in beta form, for free. Nonetheless, we need wheel support. Soon…

  2. Triple Screen Resolutions - Forza 5 and Forza 6 do not support triple screens, Forza 3 and 4 did. I know Forza 6 can run in triple screen format, as evidenced by the E3 2015 rig that Turn 10 had set up with the motion sim and Fanatec CSW V2 wheel.

  3. SLI/Crossfire Multi-GPU Support - SLI and Crossfire have come a long way. Its up to Turn 10 to implement it. Let those of us that have multi-GPUs use them.

  4. Multi-Controller USB Support - Many of us have pedals and/or shifters that plug into the PC directly via USB, not through the wheel. Let us use multiple controllers.

  5. Multiplayer - At least start with Leagues, then expand from there.

Anyway, my two cents, take em or leave em.

I agree with you in all Points, except one: ASAP!!

This is Beta-Software, Early Access. I don’t know if you ever took part in an Early Access title. Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally, both games turned out very well. And both were rather not ready to release when they turned Early Access on Steam. Despite FM6A both titles have to be bought to get Access.
Or what about rFactor2? Proper Triple-Screen Support was implemented Long after “release”. In fact it is still in Beta-Phase :slight_smile:

So, let the devs do their work, step by step.

I did take part in the Project CARS beta, which was torture. I basically spent over 3 years playing broken builds of the game that would routinely crash/freeze my PC. Never again…

I also took part in the Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally early access programs. Assetto Corsa was pretty solid out of the box, it was just light on content. Dirt Rally was remarkably polished from the outset, it had a fair amount of content plus it supported triple screens, wheels, etc. In other words, I agree with you, lets let the developers do their thing, but IMO, most of the features I am asking for are pretty basic these days for a PC sim/racing game.

Having no wheel support on a PC release, even a Beta release, borders on unforgivable.

Then just don’t play it until those features are added.

You forgot one essential Feature (at least for me) on your list: Track IR Support!

I totally agree! If i wanted to play Forza with a controller i could play it on my X Box One but since it has been released on PC i was sure it would support wheels from the start.
That’s the only reason i got Forza APEX because i wanted to feel the cars through the steering wheel and besides i am not willing to buy a 250 Euro wheel just for the X Box One which does not even get recognized on my PC.
Therefor i got my Logitech Racing wheel with which i play Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally, Project CARS, etc. etc. and now i would like to test on Forza.

Please developers add steering wheel support as soon as possible.

(Btw. Dirt Rally did not have some kind of wheel support when i entered this early access program but i could still configure the wheel by myself… here this isnt even possible. Thats really a shame)

I’m loving the feel and graphics so far, but will there be support for all of my XBOX ONE content to be pulled over to my WIN 10 game? If not, why must I continue to buy regurgitated content and have to repurchase my own liveries, cars, etc.? If essentially I keep purchasing the same game. Please tell me my XBOX profile for F6 will carry over to the PC.

This is miles different from those Early Access games. Forza 6 is a well-developed game with already full content available. This is just a PC port which misses essential components of a PC title. Those components or settings should have been in the beta

11

A very important one this along with Crossfire/Sli support…Freesync and Gsync support is a must. 60fps is old hat and feels slow, 144hz screens with Freesync/Gsync technology are a game changer.

Would like the availability for Shadowplay to be able to record, maybe its done on purpose, Windows in game recorder does not capture the audio

Please add support for custom aspect ratios!!

I want the following ratios to be implemented.

21:9
4:3
5:4

It should not be so hard. Modern games HAVE support for such aspect ratios. Thanks.

The points are well taken, again without the ASAP part. From the other side of the coin this is a free open beta and if any missing item is “unforgivable” there is nothing forcing you to participate. Wait until it comes out of open beta and is considered “complete” before diving in. They did say that wheel support was something of a priority to get in.

This is meant as a test, dipping the toe in the water so to speak, even if Apex turns out to not be a complete success and not get many desired functions put in, it is a baseline to then help guide both F7 and H3 being part of the W10 PC environment.

Please add 21:9 support! I beg you please!

Great game I agree. I also agree steering wheel support is needed ASAP. I got as far as the P1 on pro with little assists but I just cant control the car without a wheel and pedals unless I put all the assists on which I don’t wanna do. So taking a break until wheel support comes out but I’m impressed so far. Glad to see Forza finally come to PC.

Could we the option to change the gamepad steering smoothing, please. The setting that decides how fast the wheels turn to the given input.

18

So i have Old but great JoyPad - PS2 DualShock 2 (with USB HUB for PC) and game don’t see this input at all.
All i can do is to use Xpadder and Run game with keyboard and Xpadder do the trick ! (YES i have my 2 Analog Sticks runing)
But its Lame and has a lack of sensitivity and precision and no dead zone lol (i need that to Perfect the Tracks/Cars etc.)

Please add cusom x input for that Game → IMO It’s one of the best Racing Games on PC Now.

And if you can add custom resolutions: 1920:1440 4:3 5:4 8:6 it will be nice.

THX.

Great Game BTW :smiley: Good Job TEAM !!

UPd. for Custom Joypad.

All files extract to Folder JoyPad EMU (will be easy to find, and make shortcut for easy access)

  1. Download and extract the files in Xoutput. XOutput/releases

  2. You don’t need to install the Xbox Controller driver if you are using Windows 10.

  3. You run the ScpDriver.exe file and press “Install” when asked. ScpDriver for DS3

  4. Run XOutput.exe, configure your controllers. When you’re ready, press “Start”.

Hi

first of all my many thanks for apex, this is trully amazing and exceed all my expectations, after a little cut corner on microsoft quantum break i didn’t expect such high quality port of game for pc with all those options to configure and runs so well and optimized on my system.

But for my hapiness be complete, can i ask for full 21:9 support? the aspect ratio i mean, i can currently play this on my ultrawide monitor but i have to deal with vertical black bars
like this:

2560×1080 2.48 MB

Thanks!

I think all that features are neccesary. I would like to ask for a insteresting feature that I found in other games for those we play with Pad and is the posibility of change the sticks and triggers sensibility to get a better response. And please!! Optimize the game soon, the memory managing is terrible.
