Hello, 

 I think it would be really good if you gave the console players that use keyboard and mouse the option of a sensitivity bar or setting as its somewhat slow and not ideal where as pc has a decent mouse sensitivity either making mouse sensitivity same as pc or just giving a sensitivity option would be really beneficial.

 Thank you for your time happy simming.

  • Hi @LunaTides !  I don't play on console but I'm pretty sure the sensitivity settings will be found in your console settings, not in the game itself.  I read a few articles that suggested looking in the Xbox One Settings / Kinect & devices / Mouse menu.

    Edit:  I spoke too soon.  Check out this article by EA_Mai.  Although the cursor settings may be associated with using a regular controller, perhaps you can test it with your mouse.

    "To find these settings, press the Menu Button (Xbox One) or Options Button (PS4) and select Game Options > Other. If you aren’t sure what each setting does, don’t worry! We are here to help.

    • Cursor Speed – This is how fast the cursor moves. If you feel the controls are too sensitive, lower the setting. If you feel the controls are too sluggish, increase the setting.
    • Cursor Acceleration – This controls how much the cursor will gain speed if you press and hold in any direction. The setting is at 100% by default, so if you want to turn off the acceleration, you can set it to 0%. Setting to 0% means your cursor will move at a constant speed that will stop overshooting where you’re aiming."

    Hope this helps!
