Wheel vs Controller

Forza Horizon Legacy Horizon FH4 Discussion
1

Dear community,

I love to play with a wheel (Logitech G920) but I have as much control over my car as when I am using a controller (Xbox One-Controller).

What can I do? Why is this?

I have tried and tried to adjust my deadzones and settings (some are not worling for the wheel).
I always seem to loose control over my car when the controller can handle the situation easily.

Am I doing something wrong?

My settings are:
Steering linearity: 55
Steering sensitivity: 70

Most rumble feedback is set to a quarter of its setting.

Help and suggestions welcome :slight_smile:

Best,
Ampfi

I wrote about the differences here on the forum, but the post hasn’t been accepted yet.
You can find it on reddit too: https://www.reddit.com/r/forza/comments/9k5ltz/steering_difference_between_wheel_vs_controller/

Basically, when using the controller, there is a built in assist that cannot be toggled on/off, that protects the driver from oversteer for example.
This does not exist when using a steering wheel, as the force feedback is supposed to handle that sort of assist instead… but since the force feedback is ‘meh’ in the game…
You are sort of punished for using a steering wheel.

i hear ya, i am soo much better with the controller, so i went out and bought a G920 thinking it would make the experience better. sad to say it didn’t. tried a few settings from others on this forum but nothing is coming close to the accuracy i am getting with a controller. i have to say that i am still practicing on it though

also read something about Thrustmaster performing a lot better than Logitech in the game, hope the community helps us out on this as i am ready to trade in my Logitech for the Thrustmaster if that is the case

Different wheels definitely perform differently. My fanatec clubsport V2 blows my old thrustmaster TX away in feeling and in ability to maintain control. It made the game not only playable but fun.

Thanks for all the replies so far.

Unfortunately that is a real problem. I would love to play more competitively with my wheel, alas I think that idea is out now.

The first patch greatly improved the FFB.

For me it is on par with FM7 now, which is a good thing.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Can you detail what the patch was?

Are there any patch notes?

I have an issue with my clutch not registering correctly (always makes the bad clutch noise).
Any experience with this?

Best,
A

Ever since FM5 came out, wheels have been trash. Now I just use a controller, which sucks, cause wheels are a lot more fun.

did you look at this thread?the outside deadzones make a huge difference.for me 20 fest way to much so im currently on 30 instead of the default of 100.
look at the post by the user transfix.

Thanks for the reply, yeah, I tired that.

No deazones whatsoever seem to be changing anything for me…
