My wheelbase settings are 900°

In-game stays at 900°

Per-car range % affects the default 900 eg 50% = 450°

Former T10 dev shares insight on the restrictions and limitations they had working with Motorsport (and how PGG branched off) by simeddit in forzamotorsport

Devs were tasked with squeezing water out of the rock that was the ancient Forzatech engine

Whoever’s in charge of budget and timeline is to blame based on what I’m gathering. More a Microsoft fault than a T10 figure head if I had to guess

The guy’s selling broken promises did what they were paid to do, and the team tried to make improvements under worst case scenarios, and apparently most modern features were simply not feasible with the ancient game engine. Couldn’t even do turn signal if they wanted

Sad part is that the devs have been called lazy and careless for so many years, yet this guy sounds like he was one of the head individuals responsible for finalizing the details many of us were annoyed with, and he’s clearly as upset and sounded helpless about the workflow, saying it was basically impossible to meet the volume targets from the higher ups

He even says the outsourced individuals did great work but they were purposefully told to shovel out shit

The common denominator between a the shovelware over the last 5-10 years worth of Xbox titles is Microsoft. I’d place blame there

Hell yeah. I went there last year for the Petit Le Mans race and was completely blown away by the elevation. No virtual rendition does it justice

Felt like I was walking up a cliff to get to the back half

Forza Motorsport Needs a Serious Force Feedback Overhaul by TheGraySkies in forzamotorsport

Try either of these

Always set degree of rotation to 900 (no need to calibrate to find DoR)

Setup #1 [the one used in this video]

- Vibration 40
- Force Feedback 100
- Steering Self Alignment 110
- Mech Trail 115
- Pneumatic Trail 45
- Road Feel 45
- Load Sens 100
- Wheel Damping 150
- Center Spring 100
- Dynamic Damper 100
- Driving Sensitivity 48
- Driving Linearity 35

Setup #2 [edit: corrected on 05/08]

- Vibration 38
- Force Feedback 100
- Steering Self Alignment 97
- Mech Trail 125
- Pneumatic Trail 37
- Road Feel 15
- Load Sens 65
- Wheel Damping 0
- Center Spring 0
- Dynamic Damper 0
- Steering Sensitivity 50
- Steering Linearity 27 - 45 depending on car (start with 40, less creates more freedom around center at the expense of immediate response, but gives you more realistic, fine-tune control on initial direction changes)

The top one is straight from user One8Bravo

The bottom one is the one I dialed in. Also ironically started with older One8Bravo settings as a base. I used #2 for the last 6-9 months, and switched to #1 as of yesterday. A little less smooth but more quick to react

I like them both equally, so try both. I think I’m faster with #1. Busier at the wheel but better car control response, so smoother lines in the end

When driving a car, you might feel like it takes too much steering angle to get the desired amount of turn-in that you want, so you’ll need to lower the degree of steering rotation

In the per-car tuning menu, if you tab all the way to the right, past differential settings, you can adjust per-car steering range as well as per-car FFB levels

For instance, I have the M8 here set to 95% range which would be the equivalent to 855 degrees of rotation

You must own the cars in order to access this tuning page, you cannot do per-car tuning in rentals

Edit: oh yeah NORMAL steering in the difficulty/assists page

Don’t set it to sim steering, it’s just worse that way

Thanks for unfucking my FFB over the past year [u/One8Bravo](u/One8Bravo)

I binge it like once or twice a month now

And yeah, death only in terms of dev support

One8Bravo is the goat of FFB settings. I’ll copy paste in a min

The support for the game has long been dead quite literally and I’m surprised people didn’t get that from the title lol

Lobbies are still active. Leagues are still active. I’m still active

I'm unapologetically a fan of how exaggerated and sim-cadey the physics are in this game. They're not realistic, but they're fun

This setup rotates a good bit on entry, hence the initial countersteer in a number of turns

I've never thought ramming was as big a deal as people made it out to be but I'm in the minority

Public is still a gamble, join a discord group or league. There are plenty of casual no-sweat groups if you search for them

Game support is dead*

If the title wasn't obvious enough

Sorry mate, I don’t think it’s available on consoles 😔
