settings

[jamesaustinvince]

Hi there. I'm using xbox controller and wondered if anyone can suggest settings as it seems impossible to control my car, it's tough even in a straight line at speed, all over the place. I'm not new to racing games but never had to ajust settings like this before

Hi, I can tell you, it's a game mainly made to play it with steering wheel, Did you find out if the game supports the gamepad?

Dude , i playing it with an Xbox 360 Gamepad without any problems , a correct setting is only neded. It's not a simulation that you actually need a steering wheel to full enjoy to race it.

@OP: will share you my settings latter.

I racing with my gamepad like that in NFS Shift.

What are your settings for that F1, and for that matter the handling options (how much traction control and other assists)? I have not found a good setup for the F1 yet. Simply put i have much less trouble keeping the Zonda R under control.
I dont need your controller setup, i want to see the car tuning and game settings.

Compared to your 2:22 in the F1.
Major settings: ABS + medium traction control + racingline. (no stabilize or assists)
2:32 so far and that is not without some railkissing. That F1, seriously, what a misbehaving car, bad on breaking into corners, horribly worse on accellerating out of them.

To set the level of my driving in other cars:
Clocked 2:14(-8) on first attempt with Zonda R (+123HP, +70kg), even with several mistakes.
About 2:28(+6) in the R8 (-78HP, +264kg).
Bit below 2:14(-8) with the Works Murcielago (+343HP, +345kg). It is a lot heavier without being 1.88t like the Veyron, but still beastly once you begin to tame it.
R8 LMS, 2:28.2.
M3 GT2, 2:28.6
Reventon, 2:31.7 (sloppy run).
'stock' R8, 2:39.3 (good run).

Finally, MC12 GT1, 2:21. I have no excuse for this bad time other than being inexperienced with it, i.e. not knowing how far i can push it and how late to brake. Basically it felt like a weaker Zonda R, which it roughly is, but with racingslicks instead of the 'supercar'/tier4 street tires.
Compared to the F1, it is 20kg lighter and has 20 less HP, so not surprised that the time was close to your nice F1 run at 2:22. But it is worlds apart on handling.

Btw, have almost same issues with the CCX as with the F1. They do not like throttle with any kind of steering.

@ Tydo. Try this for the McLaren F1

Tires & Brakes

Front Tire Pressure = 24,93
Rear Tie Pressure = 27,39
Brake Balance = 60,50

Aligment

Steering Lock = 25,00
Caster Angle = 1,50
Front Toe Angle = -0,10
Rear Toe Angle = 0,10
Front Camber = -1,50
Rear Camber = -1,00
Front Ride Height = 85,00
Rear Ride Height = 95,00

Springs and Dampers

Front Sway Bar = 171,31
Rear Sway Bar = 114,21
Front Spring Rate = 399,73
Rear Spring Rate = 485,38
Front Bump Stop Lenght = 0,00
Rear Bump Stop Lenght = 0,00
Front Damper Slow Bump = 3,800,00
Rear Damper Slow Bump = 3,200,00
Front Damper Fast Bump = 2,200,00
Rear Damper Fast Bump = 2,000,00
Front Dampe Slow Rebound = 8,500,00
Rear Damper Slow Rebound = 8,000,00

Springs and Dampers

Limited Slip Acceleration Lock = 50,00
Limited Slip Deceleration Lock = 50,00
Limited Slip Preload = 60,00
Visco Electronic Lock = 0,00

Springs and Dampers

1st Gear Ratio = 3,11
2st Gear Ratio = 2,13
3st Gear Ratio = 1,45
4st Gear Ratio = 1,13
5st Gear Ratio = 0,90
6st Gear Ratio = 0,78

Aerodynamics

Front Downforce = 4,00
Rear Downforce = 4,00
Cooler Radiator Opening = 2,00
Brake Duct Opening = 3,00

Never have spent enought time for the CCX , but i have a huge problems to drive him ( only CCX ).

[Tydo]

Thanks. Going to try. I have a few problems with your numbers though:

Missing the data for front/rear Fast Rebound. I assume you have soft settings.

Gear ratios, sounds like gearbox for different car:
Missing 'final drive' ratio (left mine at the default of 6,0)
1st Can not get 3,11 : chose between 3,5/3,32/2,95
2nd Can not get 2,13 , highest is 2,05
3rd Can not get 1,45 , lowest is 1,52.
4th Can not get 1,13 , lowest is 1,21.
5th Can not get 0,90 , lowest is 0,96.
6th Closest i can get is 0,76 vs your 0,78.

I had it set up at:
6.0 final and then 2,95 / 2,05 / 1,57 / 1,3 / 1,09 / 0,92
In terms of slidersteps, 1 being full accel, 5 being full speed, it is like this:
3; then 5 / 1 / 3 / 2 / 2 / 2
But temped to go 5 / 1 / 3 / 2 / 1 / 1, there are so few stretches where it can get full speed anyway and it is not like we have to worry about fuel efficiency.

Aerodynamics:
No able to set cooler radiator opening and brakeduct: "locked - requires works car conversion".
