cummunity servers with controller

[tan]

Hi all -
So i use a controller - dont hate me ok - when i go to the daily racing servers, everything works fine (other than my lack of talent), but every time i go into a community server, with any track car combo i have tried so far, i have so little steering lock i cant even get out a garage without hitting pit wall.
Im guessing its some kind of server setting as the S397 servers seem fine.
Anything i can do about it? other than buy a wheel

Buy a wheel, you don't know what you're missing

That's a strange one. I'd guess maybe they have steering help disabled and that's affecting you, but I couldn't say for sure that's going to affect full lock coming out of the pits. Of course being an elitist wheel user I've never tried steering help to know

The best simracing for controllers is iRacing, i think, you even get rumbling effects ...

Try to use some additional software like x360ce that modifies the way it works and can help passing hairpins for example. It also helps on center dead zone which is often not proposed inside games.

It can "exagerate" the movement quickly if you do a fast move on stick.

By default, it's static and linear, it needs some boost often linked to speed of the car by the way.

It's almost like the software they have on their DD wheel to modifiy some behaviours, but just adapted to console controllers.

I played iRacing with that and it was really useful (Using a XBox pad).

hey man! not sure if you're still racing in rF2 but they added some features for controller which should help improve your experience by a lot. I'd say it's now probably the most-controller sim out there. have a go at mine and see what you think. should allow you to drive much better without the assists.

Those settings are so different from mine! You really use them?
I have an Xbox type controller, and these settings work for me (although not perfect).
I'll try yours out when I get a chance.

yeah! I use the F310 which has more joystick range which means I can be more accurate with the joystick than an xbox controller (at least the one I tried way back). this allows me to use less filters and have more responsive inputs.

not sure if i can drop links here but i have a YT channel 'gamepadlad' and you can watch my onboards on my previous live videos if you need reference. if you got, i'd be interested as well in your onboards and how the steering looks.

This is an onboard of the PM-18 at Donnington.
The settings are slightly different to what I've quoted above, but not much!
