Or, they include a rear end ton of controll options because not everyone likes the same poo poo. If you spent as much effort just tweaking a couple thing, as oposed to complaing about "bugs", you might be having fun right now. Something is hosed with your setup.

The control modes are sliders presets. That's all they are.

Racing with a 360 controller and what seems to be the problem is the sensitivities, but I can't see where to change them.

GT4 is just about the sweet spot in terms of difficulty/control. Watkins Glen and GT4 seemingly go hand in hand. What a wonderful combo. So still no Steam group? I'd be down to race tonight depending on the time.

I noticed when in a free practice on the California Highway that once you reach the end, the AI driver keeps trying to drive through the barriers in the road and repeatedly backs up and smashes into them

Its in the options, look hard enough and you'll find them buried in the menus. quaunaut posted:I find it hilarious you guys are blaming MS for this game's lovely controller handling, when I've literally not had a single problem with any other of a dozen games with my One controller, it's just this, in a game that you already acknowledge has serious control issues in other regards The only control issue I've found is the poopy FFB that you can't adjust. Unless you count the intensity slider as an "adjustment." I've got everything else adjusted to make this feel as close to FM5 as possible. Really though, the game feels great, I'm just spoiled by FM5 and now I have to listen to the tires instead of *feel* the tires.

That's why I want proper dedicated server support, so at least then server admins could blacklist habitual wreckers and you wouldn't have to deal with the terrible lobby system.

Mootallica posted:I actually thought the Karts were amazing - when I was using a wheel. With a 360 controller though they are woeful, hateful things that will murder you and your family at any time. Passing AI in Karts is pretty hilariously easy though: get inside them going into a turn and then just gently side-push them as you go into the turn and off the track they go. Also going to agree with whoever expressed frustration over not having control/assist/etc. options in the pause menu (among other bad UI choices... not a fan of the race UI either; there any mods for that?) so I can trial and error control problems that much easier. SanitysEdge posted:The secret to the 125 karts is to bump the front tire pressure up 0.2 bar and never lift off the throttle past corner entry  quaunaut posted:I'm on an XBox One controller. Dirt Rally having good controller feel immediately, no changes necessary, really spoils PCars role as the perfect road-counterpart of it. Combat Pretzel posted:The sudden loss of control while cornering when playing with a gamepad probably stems from the tire model, which simulates the warping and buckling of the carcass under load, which results in grip loss. When driving on the edge, there isn't much leeway on a tire in that regard, the same time a gamepad isn't a precision control compared to a wheel (twiddly thumbstick vs nearly three full turns from lock to lock), which also gives force feedback early enough to let you react accordingly. Overshoot with the turn in, the stressed tire thanks you by skidding off track. Finally on top of that, the nature of it being a game makes people push the cars more than they'd in real life, minimizing the headroom.

Wallrod posted:Absolutely this. Though it's really part of a bigger issue with the poor usability of the menus in general, being able to save setups would at least help by not making you go through them so many times. I absolutely loathe that they never put in the ability to make control adjustments for your controller/wheel while in a race. Having to exit to the menus, mess with it there, then try a race to see if it works well is a pain in the rear end. That's the nice thing about Game Stock Car. Not saying that pCars sucks, there's just little things that are annoying that I'm sure they'll remedy down the line with a patch (I hope).

Not having a good experience with the online on the PS4 so far. It's either failing to join lobbies, or lobbies I do get into are full of people idling and not readying up to start the session. The one I did find that tried to start just left me hanging on a black screen until I had to force-close the game on the PS4 home screen.

Ok, Here's a wheel FFB effort post. I've figured some stuff out. This is all dedicated to the per car FFB setups that you set up in the pits. I wish this was configurable globally but you can save the setups and it's not like Forza where you have like, 300 different cars, you're probably going to have one or two from each class that you use in each racing series and you're going to want to tune them before use anyway, so tuning the FFB for the car is fine. Plus, you don't have to back out of a practice session to the main menu to do it, you just go back to the pits and make adjustments. The top 5 sliders deal with tire force, and more specifically, Front tire force.  Fx Scale is the intensity of forces coming from the Front (or back if you're in reverse) of the front tires. Fy Scale is the intensity of forces coming from the sides of the front tires Fz Scale is the intensity of forces coming from the bottom of the tire. Play with these settings. Road feel like bumps and stuff increases when you increase the value of the Fz scale slider because these forces come from the underside of the tire. When your tire goes over something it compresses the suspension upward and this sends that compression to the steering wheel through vibration. Fy affects the weight of the wheel when turning. Higher values will make the wheel harder to turn and the wheel will want to return to center position more. When grip is lost the forces also decrease, making the wheel very light, just like in a real car. Fx adjustments are subtle and not very noticeable unless you're on the extreme edges of the range. Mz Scale also seems to affect the weight of the steering wheel while turning. Master Scale is a multiplier for the 4 items below it. Adjust to your preference after adjusting the 4 items. it will increase or decrease them all. The second section is smoothing. Higher values will smooth out the particular forces, lower will make them more rough. There is no master scale for this one, each is done individually. For Fz smoothing it weakens the bumps. The final setting on this page is Arm Angle, and that's only available in the "my garage" settings, not available from the pits during a race/practice/qualifying session. Arm angle simulates the way the steering wheel moves in relation to the hands and arms holding it. It's complicated to describe. I don't really know what to do with it. On the second page of FFB settings you get the following:  Body and SoP. SoP stands for "seat of pants" and this is meant to transmit to the wheel what the rest of the car is doing, rather than the front tires which are all a real car's steering wheel would transmit. Since you aren't in a real car you aren't going to feel g-forces or the rear sliding or anything like that, so those have to be sent to the only sensory interface you have, the wheel. Knowing what these things are is one thing, but knowing how to use them is something else. I don't know how to use them but I'll play with it.

I'm trying to make a judgement call here. I am messing about with the PC version (that runs... ok on my machine, but you can tell it's just barely hanging on, and the flourish has been turned down a bit...) and trying to determine if I'd be better off with the PS4 version next week. Have they said what the PS4 version has in terms of graphics settings that could translate to PC settings? ie: Grass on Medium, Shadows on High, Textures at Medium, etc? That would go a long way in helping me determine.
