Have done some research on this particular issue and have found a few posts but no solutions. I am using a Thrustmaster TX wheel. The issue I am having is with braking/handling around a corner. Basically if I am going around a mild corner at somewhat higher speed and just lightly tap the brake pedal, the car tends to understeer heavily and/or I lose control. I am not talking about 100% brake force, but just a small light tap to bleed a bit of speed and take the corner better. I have been looking up configs that other people are using and have adjusted the settings myself but cannot seem to fix it. So, is this normal and as intended or are there other setting/adjustments that could help alleviate this issue? It’s got me pretty frustrated to the point of not wanting to play it.
I haven’t really used my wheel with Forza 7, I think it really plays better with a controller and probably built around a controller, but have you tried playing with the sensitivity in the wheel software or maybe reinstalling the wheel software? Is it one particular car or all cars you use in the game? Have you try tuning to correct this or downloaded any tunes to see if they help? It seems weird you can’t adjust the sensitivity of the brake within the game as you can do that even with the controller. Maybe check with the makers of your wheel to see if they are aware of any issues with Forza 7. I can see you’re frustration though…would be totally unplayable like that.
Just shots in the dark. Good luck!
you have to break before turn and accelerate in the turn.
if you spin out, you break too much stronger, or too late in the turn.
TX owner too. Have my settings in last page of force feedback thread. Try it.
Are you using the standard TX pedals (which from all reports are terrible) or the T3PA/T3PA-PRO upgrade pedals?
Sounds like your pedals are too sensitive. Unless you keep your wheel plugged in all the time, you have to manually calibrate the pedals every time the wheel is plugged in again. So unplug the wheel then plug it in again. Let the wheel spin side to side to calibrate, then push the pedals all the way down a few times, this will enable max travel of the pedals when you play. If you were to push the pedal down half way for instance when it first comes on it wont properly register the other 50% of travel.
If it is the T3PA then make sure to put the travel stopper on it. I went from another pedal set to the T3PA with ABS OFF it is rare to actually lock the brakes unless I need to and can slow down on corners(carefully) if going in too hot.
It is not that FM7 is better with a controller just more the fact a wheel user has to be prepared to put in the hard yard when setting it up more than in any other game it appears. Took me weeks to get mine right.
