F1 22 has a huge issue with controllers/pads.As you can see from the video I uploaded there is a huge delay in steering compared to F1 2021, and this translates for pad players in being slow in direction changes and thus not competitive enough to challenge in major leagues. @BarryBL you know how fast I was in past games with the pad, but now it's nearly impossible to be at the same level as wheel players.This has to be fixed, the "deadzone" at the center is way too strong and there's no possibility of changing it, I've even set it to 0.0 in the config file and I use less wheel rotation to help, but no setting so far made me achieve the same level of rotation speed and responsiveness as in previous games. This has to be fixed in this year's game pleaseVIDEO https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FhDwMOCiXoCkFIiHaQc77SRcB70w9vd-/view?usp=share_link

@BadMayh3m I figure on pad its opposite to wheel. But as I don’t have a wheel I’m guessing really. I figure reducing wheel rotation on wheel works because of the extra travel and control you have. But on pad increasing it helps open the steering quicker on corner exit meaning getting power down earlier. However the down side is reduced responsiveness when turning in tight chicanes

@BadMayh3m I understand what you say and i can confirm that after the update, the handling got worse. Also what i meant on my previous message, i was talking about the vibration on my controller, since day1 i don't get any vibration even when i pass on kerbs, checked all the settings and it is setted to max and i tested with Ps4 and Ps5 controller. You can also check the bug list and it is still there (Inconsistent force feedback on controller PC)

@Reviyy Im on controller on xbox series s and Ive never seen this issue myself but my 1st question to anybody with FFB issues is always the same.What is your wheel damper set at?Some Esport guys run their WD up to 80% in their wheel drivers then set it to 1 in game but pad players cant do this.Wheel damper is how the game tells the controlling device the relationship between track and tires i.e. feel of the road.I can assume the problem isn't the controller or pad players everywhere would have the same issues.That leaves your PC which I know VERY little about.Wish I could help so all I can say is Good Luck.

@BadMayh3m Are you using an extender stick?

@Retentivee Unfortunately barry doesn’t work on the forums anymore😔

I’ve tested and tested this using 3 different duel sense on PS5. Only time I got any input lag is when FOV is set wrong. Using a combination off FOV and increasing wheel rotation I have dialled out all input lag

@RetentiveeTvpod FOV -11 horizontal -2 height +20 angle -20

FFB 100. Rest on 0. Damper 1 max wheel rotation 390-420 (takes some getting used to)

@Retentivee Could you show your in game settings?
My thinking is this is a setup problem but could be simpler.

@Retentivee The one that says si turn that off.
Even off it still works to a lesser degree after one of the updates.
As I have never had a dead zone problem my thinking is that the front wheels are actually drifting but its real subtle and this is why you cant get the rotation you want.

Great, now besides pad's force feedback problems now we have this, if this is intentionally done they just could tell us

@Reviyy The game handled different when it came out and in my opinion it was better.
Then the community threw a fit about the handling instead of taking the time to get use to it.
So they "fixed" it.
I could 4 wheel drift into turns before the fix and after I had problems with turns my opinion is they couldn't get rid of all the drift.
Wheel players have more resolutions for control so it doesnt affect them as much.
I slowed down my wheel rotation to smooth out the inputs.
I figured out for me to roll the apexs eventually and I'm working with 300 now, down from 440. May go back up for more smoothness just not sure yet but probably wont go as far.

This is my opinion on what's happening so take it as you like.
