This guide was a game changer for me, really enjoying it now.. Good work!
Following up on my Steering Assistance post.
Can't believe how much easier everything has become. A little less speed sensitivity and load more steering sensitivity and the sim has been transformed for me :)
All twitchyness has been ironed out and consistent laps are now a reality but here is the issue......
Steering assistance is what it is. Whilst it cannot compensate for poor throttle control, poor braking, poor corner entry and exit speeds, IT IS compensating for my poor steering inputs and steering mistakes. So is it really still me driving ? I am not sure and am therefore not 100% happy with this solution, but, I am having a whole lot more fun now but with an underlying feeling of guilt that I might be considered as cheating a little.
Would love to hear your input on this fellow simsters.
My settings, feel free to give them a shot.
Steering Deadzone - 12
Steering Sensitivity - 50
Throttle Deadzone - 0
Throttle Sensitivity - 25
Brake Deadzoe - 0
Brake Sensitivity - 20
Speed Sensitivity - 65
Controller Filtering Sensitivity - 75
Finally I have found the perfect set up for me. I have two options for you although the first option is the preffered method.
Mode 3
Steering Deadzone - 20
Steering Sensitivity - 5
Throttle Deadzone - 0
Throttle Sensitivity - 15
Brake Deadzone - 0
Brake Sensitivity - 35
FFB I prefer 70 but this is up to you.
Speed Sensitivity - 65
Controller Filtering Sensitivity - 20
Advanced On,On,On,off
Now for the crucial part especially if racing online.
Assign traction control to a button (I use A) and Stability control to another (I use Y). The bonus of doing this is if it starts to rain for example, being able to simply switch these assists on or off is very helpful.
Now for my other settings. This is if you are especially struggling.
Same as above except these are if you are going to use steering assist.
Steering deadzone 0
Steering sensitivity 25-30
Speed sensitivity 65
Controller filtering sensitivity 0.
Now instead of assigning Stability control to a button change this to steering assist. Again if you are struggling you can then simply switch this on or off.
Hope this helps until the patch is released.
I kind of agree with you and on the same boat. I have my controller dialed in but it still has the low speed hypersensitivity. If steering assistance addresses the hypersensitivity then your recommendation completely makes sense. I am excited about trying this out.Quote:

Let us all know how you get on.Quote:

I tried these settings and went back to falling off the track every 30 seconds and really don't know what to do anymore.
He said "if your serious about your sim racing, youv'e got to forget steering assist, it'll turn you into a skill-less jelly" I said "maybe I am a skill-less jelly and will never get any fun out of this game unless i do use steering assist"
This debate could run and run.
Excellent guide can't help but feel this info should be in the large wasted space on screen though! One thing how do you get adjustments to stop happening in blocks of 5? I have noticed that whichever setting I'm on as long as it's not set to 0 drops by 1 when I push B to go back a screen.
My advice is use whatever assist you feel comfortable with.Quote:

Until we get the patch it is very hard to be smooth with some cars when you are full lock on the steering by just slightly moving the analog stick. When we get full range of the analog stick then it will be easier to play this game without assists.
Finally I did a test today and could do a 51,500 with steering assist on and off in the community time trial around Brands Hatch in the clio. This is with a stock tune because im useless at tuning.
Yep. Just went back to mode 2 myself after faffing around with all these "perfect" settings every one is posting on every single forum and guess what, it's spot on. I can actually turn in to a corner now in the Clio.Quote:
