Dualshock 4 Controller: Settings, Problems & Solutions

Make sure to have 0 for controller filtering sensitivity, causes lag

Controller filtering causes lag.
But it stabilises.
I had it ~35 and was still twitchy, but sharp enough for my liking. Low/minimal filtering is good if you are accurate and stable with gamepad steering with the thumbstick L3/R3. Increase it if you flick.

even better is Default Mode 3 with Steering Sensitivity 0 and Steering Deadzone 10, all other controller settings at default.

made small change. Default Mode 3 with Steering Sensitivity 0 and Steering Deadzone 13, all other controller settings at default. the reason for having some deadzone is to keep the steering smooth and not twitchy.

i tried mode 1 and mode 2 and they are vastly different than mode 3 even when setting everything up identically to mode 3 the cars will drive vastly different.

I need a controller setting for a race with Aston Martin GT3, and the tire wear will be 5x. Need a tire-saving setup. Can someone help me? Thanks.

Try mode 3
Steering 20
Filtering 50
Speed 50.

I'm having an issue with throttle and brake being either max or off. I have them mapped to R2 and L2. I can't even hold revs. I'm either idling or maxed out with the slightest push of R2. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I'm using a DS4 on PC.

Hi.
When I steering using motion sensor in Dual Shock 4, I experience high and visible input lag which makes driving very unprecise. No input lag in GT Sport and DriveClub using same motion sensor steering method. I use low input lag display, Damping = 0, Steering Deadzone = 0. Could anybody confirm that, please? Any workaround?

Thank you.

Good morning all, new on Pcars, just wanted to have a taste of it before getting the Pcars2.
Just got a second hand game, looks stunning !
I have a question and I need your help, I can't change the Dual shock setup, too many things to be changed for not enough buttons !
Can someone also advise me on an "average" setup for the cars ?
Thanks for your help all !

Hi Bealdor

Can you help me on this issue I have with the setup of the Dual Schock for my PS4 ?
I'd like to change the controls and use X for accelerating, Squared for braking, etc... But unfortunately there are too many things to change to confirm the setup on the game, but not enough buttons on the controller...
Also, is there a way to get an "average" setup for most of the cars so I can have an easy and enjoyable game ?
Thanks in advance for your help

I'm finding it impossible to catch slides with the controller. For me once the wheels spin, that's it. The car spins out. This means that cars like the lotus 49 are mostly undriveable because of the wheelspin. I was wondering if anyone has controller settings that can change this?

Increase traction control perhaps?

I don't know how to get to the controller settings in the first place. I seem to be stuck in "career mode" as well. Because I don't see any other options than career mode. (I don't see them main screen I think with the other options that should be there...such as settings I suspect etc...) So how to get to my controller settings or to the main screen from career mode? Can anyone give a detailed instruction how to get there?
Thx already - Johan
