For AWD and FWD cars, dealing with oversteer is pretty easy, you just step on the throttle and the car straightens out. For RWD, this is the opposite, if the rear is slipping, you want to let off the throttle a bit. You can adjust tuning settings to help with the slippage, things like your differential, rear aero, camber can all help with oversteer. I can make a video on this if that would help.

I wrote an application that uses the data out telemetry information to give various info in real time as I play. It requires some sound mixing because I play on XBox and the program runs on my PC. It is called accessible real time forza companion and can be found on Github. I'm currently rewriting it though, it's a little buggy as it is.

Oh man, I'm so glad you stumbled across it then. I can only imagine how much you've missed it. I just bought a fanaech wheel setup. I want to do some tutorials on how I use it. I am pretty busy at the moment with an internship though. All the same, feel free to ask anything and I'll do my best to respond with an answer. Happy racing!

@@alexanderagostino1521 oh! Very nice, that is a very good wheel. I think you’re going to enjoy it. I will definitely have some questions. I’m going to watch your video a few times and then I’m going to go in and give it a shot. I can’t even get past the opening lap right now lol.

Those opening racces are rough. I recommend just turning on full assists through those until you get to the first builder's cup, then exiting and hitting up free play and go from there.

So, I went in and I actually ended up doing that before. I had even read your message, but what I did was, I still allow myself to control the throttle and the gears because I just love the way gears work in relationship to throttle and breaking and I have to say That your video was what allowed me to figure that out and now that I’ve done it this game is absolutely amazing. I’m in the process of starting my new career. I’ve got my colors chosen, I even managed to grab the Porsche even though I really going to be looking for the Audi LMS Evo. I’ll definitely be going into a practice race as you suggested and taking the time to get to really listen to and learn all of the sounds and learn what it feels like to fully control the car. But that is going to take a while so until then, I’ll continue having partial control and, I have to say even with having partial control it still feels really good, so again heckuva video and thanks for your help and I will definitely be in touch once I’ve got questions because I know I will lol, good luck with the internship.

@@levi6859 Feel free to add me on Discord my user name is amorphous_note we also have a couple Discord servers if you'd like to connect with other blind racers.

Will do! Thanks for the advice.

Because you clicked on it 😂

That is how it works. HA

Do you have anY favorites for the lower classes?

​@@alexanderagostino1521 I don't play fh5 but on assetto the E30 is pretty good

​@@alexanderagostino1521Also are you using controller or wheel cause wheel is good and what wheel if so

@@AnexistentialdogontheInternetI'm not on wheel yet. I'm trying to save up for one of the Fanatech CSL ready to race bundles. The one I want won't be available until the end of May though. It works out since I'd barely have enough to buy it right now. Gotta wait until June or so.

@@AnexistentialdogontheInternet I'll definitely give it a go next video. Thanks.

Yeah, it does seem that way haha. Also doing this without any assists. I’m told that sim steering is death for drifting, but I’m making it work.

Thanks! Have any suggestions for tracks good for drifting?

@@alexanderagostino1521 Nah bro, but can u make a video for asseto corsa

@@shivsantossh9475 I would love to, but ACC isn’t accessible for the blind. Forza is though. I have more vids on my channel that show how someone completely blind can drive in Forza if you’re interested.

@@alexanderagostino1521 Wait, You are blind?!?! Im really srry for maybe being insensitive

@@alexanderagostino1521 Yes im interested

Heck yeah. Won’t stop can’t stop!

No, I haven't ever played it on an IPad or tablet. I know cloud gaming does work with Forza, but honestly the delay would make it nearly impossible to play without many assists. Even the delay over the wireless controller is annoying. I play completely connected to the XBox to reduce as much latency as possible. With how precise you have to be with the inputs, every little bit helps. Also, sorry for the streaming quality. I think my laptop was overheating which caused all the glitching in the audio. My microphone was also far away for the first half of the video, yikes. Really need to be better about checking all of that. Thanks for watching all the same.

Thanks for those kind words haha. Yeah I'm more comfortable in classes E through B, but slowly getting more comfortable with these insane GT cars. Do you have any requests for tracks, cars, or events you'd like to see me try?

You can find the game itself on Steam. Plants V Zombies Game of the Year Edition. You can find the mod at github.com/CG8516/PvZA11y/releases

Yeah, same person. Generally, when I'm learning a track I will start just as I did in this video. I'll have all assists on, I'll learn the track layout, then I'll switch off one assist at a time and take as much control as I comfortably can. Usually this does mean turning off all steering assists. There are many tracks with many different layouts, so learning them all will take a lot of time. Some tracks are especially challenging because they are so narrow. Others are more forgiving and are the ones I put more effort in learning to drive without any steering assists. I am still trying to have fun after all. Also, I'm not sure if you'are aware, but you can adjust the volume and pitch of each audio queue. I might've already mentioned that though.

@@alexanderagostino1521 Yes of course I know of the volume and pitch settings for audio queues. And for all other sound effects for that matter. I have been tampering with them all the time;) Thanks for the headsup. Keep upt the good video work.

It sounds like you are struggling a lot with this title. You pointed out that I'm practicing on an empty oval track, which is correct. However, I am able to compete against AI opponents and other people as well. Just this weekend we are organizing an all blind tournament. The audio queues are very customizable. There is one area that I would like, and that's a look ahead option for the track limits. I think being able to change the pitch for the track limits is enough to give them their own unique characteristics. Obviously, this is just my own opinion. I'm really sorry you are struggling al the same. It's possible that Forza just isn't for you, which is perfectly fine. For many, racing games aren't entertaining. That being said, I am willing to sit down with anyone who is willing to listen and help teach them to drive.

Thanks for watching. I don't really know the reasoning behind that, but its nice to know. However, in this instance, the idea for turning on manual shifting is to help give the driver better control over their speed. Since we don't get a speedometer read out to us, it's difficult to know how fast we're going. If you look at the tuning menu and review your gears, you can get a pretty good idea of how fast you are going depending on what gear you're in. For me and others at least, using an automatic transmission makes it easier to lose track of what gear we're in.

@@alexanderagostino1521 totally agree with you about using it as a reference point for a speedometer just was letting you know what Forza has stated on their official website after the holidays I plan on getting some other blind gamers like us together for a blind racing league i’ll reach out again to you if you want when we are starting that up if you’re interested

I made this video quite a long time ago, before any major patches. I'll have to play around with things to test, but if it's true, then it might be something to do with remote play. It's how I recorded these videos.

Hmm, mostly just familiarity with the game I guess. If you are looking for help on how to navigate through various parts of the game, the following Discord link will take you to a group of players who can help. They are all mostly people who are blind as well and have completed the game. discord.gg/T5kSXgBX

Yes, if you go into the accessibility settings, you can highlight the audio queue and press the right stick in to hear a demonstration for it. I hope this helps.

​@@alexanderagostino1521 Great. Thanks

I definitely recommend headphones.

Hi there, I'm glad you liked it. If there's anything you'd like me to address in future videos, let me know.
