Controller handling is a downgrade.

if you are going to make handling sim-like and catered towards wheel users, give me the option to bypass handling filters like the smoothness so I can do microcorrections mid-corner while maintaining speed. with this stupid simlike handling and filtered handling, i either go straight when I correct or have to accept i took a suboptimal line and lose tenths. 

did fanatec give you the big bucks to make the handling so bad for pad users so they buy a fanatec wheel or did you forget most of ur users are pad? i refuse to believe this was made by the F1 23 team which was a decent handling on pad (only becus 22 was a massive letdown). I am glad i bought it off the cdkeys for more than half the atrocious price.

  • It understeers like crazy, even with firm suspension to reduce sliding forward its still a disgrace. its not even a setup thing. its ur handling model thing. it varies so much from track to track, on the track where controller are friendly like australia, my tt is within a second of the fastest person in the leaderboard, but in tracks like japan where every corner needs precise steering, thats where it falters, and thats just in tt, with unlimited grip, i cant imaging how terrible it will be with aging tyres and dirty air. 

    this is a massive letdown from 24 where the handling for me was the prime. 

  • even assetto corsa has more accessibility than this supposed controller friendly game. i can enjoy driving different cars with  carefree cus when it turns, it turns, thanks to the bypassing options they have. U somehow, as a simarcade game, still suck at this aspect. how is a full on sim have  a better controller accessilibity than your simcade game. I dont understand why u cannot give us the option to bypass it. It is not like your physics engine is too advanced for the controllers to drive.

    For me and the large majority of controller players the handling this year in F125 is a scismic improvement over F124 which was atrocious for most pad players.

    I absolutely love how the car feels in F125 on a controller. Just feels so natural to drive, great smoothness too.

    Probably my favourite handling model along with F123.
