For keyboard players!

Look at my Workshop and you will find a keyboard setup and track setup too :)
Some tracks setup still in working progress.... i will finish in 7 days all tracks setup.

you are probably the only one who uses a keyboard!

It's quite impressive that some people put that much effort into it, while controllers and even some mid budget wheels are quite cheap compared to their lifespan. It already felt like a waste of time mastering my gamepad skills for several month when i changed to wheel and improved my time within like 2 weeks. I can only imagine how big the difference must be between keyboard and even a gamepad

I played F1 with keyboard my whole life. in 2015 they removed the driver assistance for keyboard players.. Since then I never played this game again.

I bought a g29 wheel to play this game. And it was harder than play as a keyboard to be honest. So much calibration and things to do before play. Even watching youtube tutorials some people said that I need to get used to wheel. I mean, I want to have fun not get used...

I will eventually buy a controller and try to play in a controller.

Well, that's how life works. You've to lern things, when you've never done it before. You can't just buy input devices and expect you to be faster on it after 10 minutes of playing the game, when you've hundreds of hours put into another input device. Would be the same the other way round. But i would bet, that keyboard players get used to wheel way fasters, than wheel users to a keyboard.

And i've the xbox variation of the same wheel and i never calibrated anything. Only added some deadzone to my brake pedal when i noticed, that i sometimes brake a littlebit on accident.

Bad feedback ist still way better, than no feedback at all. It's you choice, what you want to use, but you'll definitely loose some tenth of a second of reaction time, when you're only driving on sight.

Some people don't want to learn, and prefer to stay in their own closed world. It can take various form, here is an example, even if it's just a trivial thing like gaming. Ignorance is bliss, as they say.
You can send me your G29 if you don't want it, I pay you 10€. I would like to LEARN to play with a wheel.

I don't get it the aggressive comment. I just said what fits for me. And it's not about learning. It's not difficuld turning a wheel. Its the massive time spent to calibrate something that works just fine in a controller and keyboard and even mouse if you dare. It's just boring.

It's not about devices, its a wheel, you turn left and the car turn left. i played with this wheel in other games, other racing games. Forza and euro truck simulator were pratically plug and play.

I should just struggle like few minutes like other games, but not hours.

Are you actually aware, that F1 is a simcade with more emphasis on the simulation part? You can't really compare that to an arcade racer like Forza and ETS isn't even in the same genre. You'll get punished way easier for exeeding the limits, so you've to put way more work into being precise with your steering and knowing how to respond properly to the feedback of your input device. That's a skill to master and not something, the game or some wheel settings should just do for you (at least for simcades and simulations).

Are you joking? I saw a survey of fan community of F1 players, and 30% of them play on keyboard.
