Porcelain keyboard
Just briefly to save you time: Fix the keyboard control. This is far too delicate. It feels like you can't hit the water with a boat.

The control with the keyboard is just bad. You hardly have a feeling for when the car breaks out, and when it does, you can just watch it spin. Also, by default the steering angle is 5000% when touching the key. No matter what I set in the setup of the car, no matter what I do, the keyboard control is horror!

In the options there is unfortunately no setting for this to be a little better. I have played hundreds of racing games, this really has the worst controls of any game so far.

The mode was even still on arcade and already almost unplayable. I think the development team never played the game with keyboard tested. Too bad.

Controller is the same. Press the analog just 2% and the car loose control completely.

Guys I've created a separate thread for this but I am posting this here for you guys to try.

Please try this vehicle setup and you won't be spinning like crazy every other second. These settings are specifically for Mammoet Rallysport but you can play around with it for other vehicles. Wherever I am spinning is me doing it manually by pressing the handbrakes because I missed a cap. Sorry for the crappy navigation, I am still learning.

Important changes:
Steering Angle: 25 (Sweetspot is between 25 to 29)
(Key is to lower the Anti-Roll Bar settings as much as possible to avoid spinning like crazy for no reason. Some vehicles like cars require really low values. I haven't tested it on other classes like Bikes, Quads etc.)

Front Anti-Roll Bar: 1685 N/mm
Rear Anti-Roll Bar: 1757 N/mm

Other non-essential changes:
Tire Pressure: 27 psi
Suspension Strength: 125%
Ride Height: +30mm
Differential Front/Rear Split: 43%
Brakes: 73%

Thank you for this! I have just tried this on a random car and quad (however much was applicable that is) and it made a world of difference! the game feels playable again!
