No, see my post above for a game controller setup.

I think a lot of controller players are conditioned from playing other arcade racers and having trouble adjusting. Also some of the cars default settings are terrible or bad for the track your on. In general the game isn't a set and forget when it comes to handling.

There were also some reports that the Xbox One controller was really screwy with this game if you didn't update the firmware.

The race sim thread here is cool, but on most of the internet racing sim players on game physics is kind of like reading audiophiles discussing $10,000 speaker cables.

Truck you say?

I've been having some good fun with this on PS4 so far, Like it more than driveclub. Only have one issue though. I've somehow dissapeared my HUD. in the customization screen it's still all there and set to visible, when driving it's completely gone. It did this after I sim'd a qualifying session to end and has been gone ever since. Anyone have any suggestions?

So, there's a likely culprit to why I've been having such an awful time control wise: Apparently the game has significant issues when using an XBox One controller on PC. When I switched it out for my old Dual Shock 3, instantly had much better control, less inconsistency, the audio cutout bug stopped, the random performance drops stopped happening.

However, this kinda sucks as I really love that controller, and while I'd like to get a Wheel(mostly for Dirt), I don't feel ready for that yet.

You can update the controller's firmware from the Xbox One's settings (unless you just have the controller I guess).

I wish I could have up and downshift function with both my sequential shifter and my wheel's paddles at the same time. If I want to drive a Formula A, I have to go into the options and change the assignments.

I am presently, and probably only very briefly, the leaderboard's #1 record on the 24 hours of Le Mans circuit for one of the lesser open wheel cars.

this is strictly because I'm the only one who's set a time with that car.

I'm having a lot of fun with this. All of it is taking getting used to: i was adequate at Forza, but even with all the assists on here it's a struggle to find the comfort zone with everything, but fun nonetheless.

Monza GP, good luck beating my BAC Mono time.

BAC Mono is one of those cars that really sucks with the default setup with a controller as the car has no downforce. But with tweaking it can handle like quite nicely.

All my complaining was directed towards Karts (me not just ignoring Zero to Hero :argh:). The one actual car I ended up driving (Caterham through career invitational) felt definitely doable.

I think the latter points might be part of my problem. I am always hopeful that the default car setups are somewhat not terrible and haven't really done too much besides shorten gear ratios (so I could speed off again quickly after spinning out my Kart). Unfortunately, there are so many settings it can be tricky to know which knobs to turn to make things better without irreparably breaking something along the way.

I'll have to give the couple suggested controller setups a shot. Once I feel good with the base controls, I'll probably feel more comfortable changing the vehicle setups.

quaunaut posted:

Pretty sure not.

Think there are applications out there in the internet that can force things to use full screen windowed if there's no native support. I haven't messed with them myself though.

Control mode 2. Filter setting to 55. Remove throttle and brake deadzones. Works perfectly for me like that. I'm also using thumbstick grips that raise up a few mm.

I use a Bluetooth module I got over Amazon for like 15 bucks. Sync the controller to the pc, set idle time in input mapper, and map right click left click to some buttons. It's good stuff

Down or right on the D-pad. For some reason the game removes the HUD if you go into "monitor"-mode.
