[TIP] How to make your vehicle handle better

[ЯavenStrykeR]

Funny enough, I believe the steering options are backwards! So lowering these options actually makes the car MORE sensitive with its steering and raising them makes it less sensitive.

Change your Controller Steering options to what I mention below, it makes a WORLD of difference on how twitchy the vehicle is. Put Steering Linearity at 1.00 and then adjust your steering sensitivity between 50 and 100, the higher it is the slower the front wheels will turn. I personally like 75 for sensitivity and 1.00 for Linearity. I also added a 10% deadzone, just to have some wiggle room with my joystick.

I tried adding some brake deadzone, but it is just acting as a digital input no matter what you choose. They're either full on or full off. Definitely needs to be fixed by the devs. Locking up the tires removes all steering input, so it's better to let off the gas early than to brake ever. Also, allowing the Saturation to go ABOVE 100% would be nice so that way if you do pull your brakes you won't ever run the risk of fully locking them up once they're working properly.

This helped me thanks. I still get too much fish tailing but it's better. I set mine at 100/100 with 20% deadzone.

Yeah I think the fishtailing is just a thing where you have to let off of the gas completely to regain control. Which I'm not opposed to, but it's definitely a learning curve compared to other games.

As per usual, Xilence sweeps in and changes the game!! If anyone doesn't know this guy, he's a wizard with this ♥♥♥♥♥. I'm sure he's spent a fair bit of time fine tuning to get to this point.
I thank you good Sir! Always a pleasure racing with you and reading your inputs.👍
