Does the GTR34's steering seem off?

[Lycon]

I have to turn my wheel like 90' for it to turn a little bit. It feels so un precise. It just has a weird feeling to it, anyone else?

No im not talking about understeer, I'm talking about it being weird even at slow speeds.

[Brownninja97]

im not sure then, i cant say i have issues at low speed.

Not at all, it seems spot on to me, what were you expecting from a big heavy long wheelbase AWD car from 1999? I think it drives really nicely, it's exactly as I was expecting/hoping it would be, AKA accurate.

Did you change any wheel rotation lately? Either in wheel software or in the game controls, steering degrees. Does the steering wheel animation in the car match your real wheel?

The wheel matches perfectly! But when I turn my wheel 90' and accelerate, it baraly steers :/

It also seems a bit off to me. I can't really put my finger on it.

Perhaps you don't need to turn the steering wheel so much. The R34 is a fast car, but not Gallardo fast.
Also try the R34 by disabling traction control, Ctrl+T in game.
I think would be cool if you'd record gameplay of your driving, then we could more easily point out any issues.

Flick it in and give it some loud pedal, it's typical of the car to behave like you suggest. Gotta be a bit balls to the wall with it I think.

If I dont turn the steering wheel at least 90 degrees the car just goes straight. I have all TRC and stability disabled. Taking corners etc isnt the issue, its just the steering that seems off at any speed.

I wish I knew how to record and upload videos!

Follow the tips from Talky Toaster above. This is a 4wd drive car with 4 wheel steering. So your driving also has to be adjusted if you're too used to RWD cars.
For me this car goes whenever I point it fairly well. Try different tracks. If TC off didn't help, try with TC :)
Brake more progressively in the corners, from the turn-in to the corner apex, and point it where you want to go as you exit the corner. But there's not much problem if a car needs 90º steering, but it all depends where you position the car for the corner. If you go too deep, then you need turn more the steering to compensate.

Ok so I tested it again to pay attention at how much I was turning, and using 80-90º (was driving at Imola). But this is one of the cars where even steering 90º it turns well, and it wasn't slugish, other road cars understeer more when using this amount of steering degrees.

But if you're trying to slide or step the back out in corners, just steering and then accelerating will maintain the car stable because of its 4wd drive, so you're actualling dunking the tyres on the road this way.

I don't know if the R34 in the video below is tuned or same specs as the one in game, the actual behavior in corners/sliding seems quite similar to the one in game.

ps. depending of your wheel/desk, don't try too agressive throw of the steering wheel in a drift, as you could damage the clamps that are attached on the table. The real car hardware is more resistant than a consumer wheel for a game.

[Talkie Toaster]

I'd say that probably has the 4WD disabled in the video, I believe it is fully computer controlled so can be turned on/off to do big skids.

Edit - Actually that's R32.

the steering doesn't feel good to me also. It feels like it has a really slow steering rack.
