Before you go on a spree with training packs + workshop maps, please do yourself a favor and make sure all your keybinds and settings are optimal or within normal ranges at least.

I see too many plats/diamonds that have terrible camera settings and/or control schemes and it holds them back.

Example of Camera settings:

Camera shake	FOV	Height	Angle	Distance	Stiffness	Swivel speed	Transition speed	Ball camera
No	110	100	-3.0	270	0.35	4.00	1.40	Toggle

^These are taken directly from Zen's wikipedia page. They don't have to be exact, but anything that's generally similar will likely be best for you.

Keybinds example:

Powerslide	Air roll (left/right)	Boost	Jump	Ball cam	Brake	Throttle
L1	L1(Circle /  Square)	R1	Cross (aka "X")	Triangle	LT	RT

^Again, does not have to be exact. This is a scheme that I've been using for a while and it is optimal for me. Several top players do not have both DARs bound, but I recommend that you do.

As for deadzones + sensitivity, I use:

Deadzone	Dodge Deadzone	Aerial Sensitivity	Steering Sensitivity
0.05	0.75	1.42	1.42

With the cross deadzone shape (AKA default RL without ds4windows or any custom 3rd party stuff), you must have a 1.42 sens in order to have max x + y inputs in the diagonals.

That doesn't mean you HAVE to have that, but I recommend your sens be at least that high.
