Wheel sensitivity too high causing car too easy to spin out

[Ozwald]

Moza R3 user here. I was able to manually bind my inputs and get the wheel working in game.

However, I'm experiencing major issues with steering sensitivity. Even with very small inputs (e.g., 4 degrees of steering), the car is way too easy to oversteers and spins out. It feels like the input scale or sensitivity isn't properly calibrated, making precise control extremely difficult.

I switched over to a controller for comparison, and the game is much more driveable and responsive there. Is there currently a way to adjust steering sensitivity or linearity for wheels? If not, adding this option would greatly improve the experience for wheel users.

I see many people having this issue while, when working as it should, there is no sensitivity issue at all, unless you're talking only about how the early cars drive at high speed, where they're pretty unstable and unsettled by the slightest wheel movement, but that's not a sensitivity issue, but how those cars handle at high speed in the game (they handle like drift cars even if they are not really before we install some drift oriented upgrades, not great but not surprising for a drift game). It's better with some cars, like AWD ones.

First, you've to set the rotation degree of your wheel to at least 450°, the game is made for 900°, and below 400-450° it becomes too sensitive.

Then you've to use simcade driving model, there may be some assists always enabled with arcade driving model which doesn't work well with a wheel.

Finally, check if you've to turn your wheel at 100% for the ingame wheel to turn at 100%, and if it's not the case, try to rebind your steering axis, and maybe send a bug report if still not ok after that.

mostly what pinkimo said is accurate (thanks man for helping out!); however if the issue persists, please drop us a bug report here - https://jdmgame.com/drift-hub/bug-reports/
We're actively researching if this is an issue and why people are suffering from it. The more information we have the faster we should be able to resolve it.

I am using g29 and having the same issue, I cannot even past the tutorial, turning is too sensitive

Wheel user too. I have a moza r12, I had a hard time when I started the game, but I find it very enjoyable so I stuck with it. And after practices the first car with some upgrades was fine, I managed to win several races and I could drift it well enough.
However I'm pretty sure the second MX5 is bugged. I bought it because there was an offer at the auto shop and It's undriveable honestly.
You can't control the drift at all, it instantly spins out every time I turn the wheel, it's very bad.
I tried to upgrade it, and tune it (with my limited knowledge) and it was still very bad.
It's like the car has 600 hp. Very strange as the first car was more powerful and easily manageable compared to this thing.
Now I have to restart everything, I bought the cheapest car to be able to sold the mx5 but the sell price wasn't even half what I paid (without upgrades). My only choice now is to rebuy the first car at 750k lol.
