Re: Controller Direction Change

This centre delay has been in all of the recent F1 games I have played, however I did immediately notice that it felt a lot more pronounced in this years game. I was going to make a post myself, but I thought maybe it was just in my head haha.

I think the settings codies are using are probably the same as in previous games, but because the cars are heavier this year it feels a lot more unresponsive and delayed when switching directions. Of course that’s just my initial thought process and I could be wrong and the delay is actually longer.

Thank you for the info, everyone. 

I'll pass this along. 

Hey @pawel567, 

I don't have any updates to share on this at the moment, but I'll follow up and let you know if I have some news. 

any updates on this? its very hard to race against wheel players online because of this issue

fix this damn issue man! im getting really angry when playing this damn game due to this damn issue this is really f*cking annoying me!

Hello @EA_Kent , like someone mentionned above, take a controller, and play Jeddah, you will quickly see you cannot do any S turn correctly because it is waaaaay too slow to change direction.

@EA_Kent if this isnt [CM - removed] fixed, i aint buying F1 23 or must I say, Sim Life 23. It is clear EA does not value controllers when vast majority are controllers.

@AlexandrethezIt’s not unplayable. It doesn’t effect the majority off people

Never had this issue.  I’ve tested using 3 different dual sense controllers. With  Over 500 hours played 

@AlexandrethezJust reduced field of vision. Using Tvpod. I usually set it at -10. But it’s also dependent on how big your Tv/monitor is and how far you sit from it.  Further you sit away the more it needs to be decreased 

When I was looking into the delayed input I set all settings back to default and noticed car wouldn’t rotate as quick at higher speeds (which is where most people encounter the problem). So I increased fov to max and found I pretty much over shot every corner cause the car wouldn’t turn in.

It maybe because I’m not used to having the view that far back. But im off the mind especially in Tv pod view that changing the FOV changes the turning axis. After all it was proven that FPS was had an effect on the cars physics. So to me it’s a possibility.

Also with pads last few years decreasing wheel rotation has been the way. But for me personally this year increasing it is the way.

But also a lot is down to personal preference and lots of on track fine tuning.   I appreciate most people don’t have the time and patience to do this.  Especially as I have the time to put the hours it and after 500 hours I’m still tweaking it 

These controller setting were posted by @BarryBL for F1 2021 I know: however I still find they work better than default settings.  

For those unfamiliar with Barry he was Codemasters Forum Administrator and probably knows gameplay side better than anyone.   I’ve seen many controller settings videos where a YouTube guru  says understeer enhanced and wheel dampener don’t apply to controllers: If that were true Barry wouldn’t have changed them:    Codemasters is closing soon.  Not sure if it will be archived or nuked.  

FFB 75 on track 35 kerbs 25 off track 20 dampener 10 understeer off  set all linearity sliders to 40.

@Alexandrethez you are correct i also have this problem i found a sort of solution for this that is that you have to set the controller sensivity with steering to 100 there are two settings i have on 100 with the turning its a temporarily solution but it has to be fixed its in the game since day 1 and we are already half a year in the games life cycle and there still isnt anything done to fix it and since last update aka 1.17 it feels even worse i had a time trail in saudi arabia on an older version of the game and that was with equal cars and i was a second slower than i was before the patch so yeah this definetly is a massive problem
