Driving rear-wheel drive cars are now so much better and I love it. Even though I tune cars with a controller I can easily transfer to the wheel and it’s really nice. 👍
Learning how to drive RWD cars is so much more gratifying than just lazily converting everything to AWD.
Bro u are tweaking its 10×harder to rwd drift in fh5 then fh4
@@mikehansen4608 May be, but it is like 10 times easier and 20 times more realistic in normal racing (on FFB steering wheel again). Where in FH4 you had to pray not to loose rear grip, in FH5 you feel when you are loosing it and actually control the starting slide and even can use it for your advance in some situations.
@mikehansen4608 if you find it harder to drift in fh5 compared to fh4, you probably weren't doing proper drift technique in fh4.
What should i buy as far as wheel and pedals all three pedals not just 2
As a wheel user, for the fun aspect I’d say yes go ahead, it’s great fun and adds to the immersion even if the physics are (obvious not like a sim). Just wish they’d fix the damn controls not saving and wheel ffb not working without disconnecting your wheel and replugging it in. That has happened since pre public launch...
Yes me too! For me it is random.
Exactly.
it does save the controllers it just doesn't make that custom profile default. When you launch the game choose the custom profile you mapped your controllers.
Took me a while before I realized this.
@@TheBoostedDoge Oh really? I did not know that, granted that'll help, unfortunately not the FFB not working but I'll check that tonight thanks!
@@TheBoostedDoge Same for me with al my TM gear under custom profile..
When you start it up it wants to load the tm 248 wheel and not Auto load your custom profile..
So dumb having to go to it and save it again and back out...
Such Amateurs to not have sorted an auto load
I'm so glad I got my t300. I was thinking the other day about what 12 year old me would have given to have something like this. It's like having one of those racing arcade cabinets but even better with the force feedback. And you don't need quarters.
I'm getting a t300 tomorrow !
I got the TS-XW and it's absolutely amazing.
Playing FH5 with a wheel unlocks a new side of the game that i couldn't really appreciate with the controller, which is cruising around and enjoying each car to their full extent (handling, accel., interior, engine sound), instead of just mindlessly going fast, drifting 80% of the time and going offroad randomly to rack up points. I beat all the SP content with a controller and was about ready to move on to a different game, then tried the wheel and now i'm hooked again.
You said it perfectly 🙏
So accurate 👏👏
csl DD user here- glad you covered wheels, been using wheels exclusively since horizon 2.. 5 is a big improvement but honestly 2 still remains the best for wheels especially dirt. storm island with a wheel was glorious. Road racing is good on the wheel in 5, cross country just requires an adapted driving style and different racing lines than your controller opponents, Rally though needs a lot of work. oversteer in general is a bit iffy and the settings in 5 do not provide the same level of feedback you got in motorsport 7. basically controller players even on 'simulation steering' are still basically driving assisted steering compared to a wheel user. rivals is great with a wheel but online is tough because 1. cockpit/bonnet cam means you can't see rammers before they hit you 2. the FFB from your wheel if they ram you can be so severe with a strong wheel that its impossible to recover properly so be prepared to 'take the hits' and move on
Thanks for the video! The section where you went over settings helped me out so much, my wheel (G923) feels much more usable now. I agree with you about the centering spring settings, with all the other load adjustments, even having it at 0.1 makes the wheel snap back too hard at almost any speed. Anyway, thanks again, my drifting days are even closer now!
I would like to see more FFB options mainly for effects for loosing grip or understeering like in Assetto corsa
You will see that in Forza Motorsport.
@@Wolfox360 but I want it in horizon too
@@gemeinerrainer7069 You have it, but you really have to exaggerate, But you do feel it like understeering also because you lock up, you feel it, oversteer you feel it, Maybe you didn't set the wheel properly.
@@Wolfox360 maybe, but I really like the way assetto feels
@@gemeinerrainer7069 I started playing ACC, because before the FBB was garbage on Xbox, Now I'm also enjoying ACC, but you also have to realize that those are Racing cars, huge amount of grip very rigid chassis, stuff that commercial cars can't give to you. ACC you are driving a Rock, in Forza e dry sponge :) . But as said before, this is "Just" Horizon, We will see what FM8 will bring.
Set up looks just like mine, I recently built a shelf under my desk for my pedals to sit horizontal with my chair, now my legs go straight out to the pedals instead of down to the floor. Made a massive difference all around, driving feels better, seating feels better. Way more enjoyable.
Keep it up.
I would definitely like a guide on personalising the FFB settings.
You make the road racing look so easy. I’m gonna test these settings as soon as I can
For the visibility issues, try turning the drift camera on and sensitivity to ~90, speed~50, max angle ~20. I dont play on a wheel but i love playing in 1st person, and adding a tiny bit of sway can help incrrease your FOV while turning while also letting you know when youre slipping too much. Hope this helps!
The thing why 1st person on wheel is better because camera is locked to car. It gives much better visual information about what car is doing. 3rd person and drift cam kinda takes that away and its alot harder to control.
@@twiikkerDrift cam on a very limited angle just gives you slightly better visibility around certain corners, and doesn't detract from that feeling of having your view locked to the car. It's kinda like turning your head to stay looking in the same direction, and you can still see how the car rotates at the same time
@@edwardking9359 i actually did learn to use it and found settings for it. I was very limited with drift angles without using drift cam but after getting used to it my drifts became much better. Still need to disable it when not drifting tho since it distracts when its not stable on normal racing :)
Nice video man! I've been playing FH5 with my CSL DD since release and have had a ton a fun. I would definitely be interested in a full settings video. That would be super useful as I still adjusty settings every now a then depending on what type of driving I am doing
Man, thanks for the details and specially, for just put the answer straight forward at the start
Loving my wheel on fh5. Still trying to fine tune my settings. And have a hard time w the rally and cross country races w it.
Yes please do a settings video!!! I got my first wheel this year and have no idea what I'm doing.
Dude. Got my first wheel a week ago for FH5. OMG so much fun. Thanks for this video. Here's to gateway wheels!
Good vid! Thanks. More please. Settings, racing, tips all for wheels! Just ordered me a G920 for Series X. I've had a G27 for years on PC.
I still find it extremely difficult not to spin out when. Taking the slightest turn. The second an even tiny skid happens there’s no correcting it
Have you changed your settings? I use custom settings, that work for me. I set them to the minimum, and then the maximum to feel what they did and adjusted that way. Keep at it, because it is a lot of fun
skill issue
I bought a Thrustmaster TMX for Motorsport 7 but only used it a few times before shoving it in a cupboard.
I was surprised at how good it is on Forza Horizon 5 and the physical effort required to keep the car on the road or dirt track at S1 or S2 is challenging,
but my God is it so much better than just using a controller.
Lol I did exactly the same (shove in closet after playing Forza) in pandemic I brought it back out and discovered the asseto corsas. Life has never been the same. (FH5 is ok too, but not my main squeeze)
@@jacohop It's weird that steering wheels end up in cupboards and closets
@@XNY_Music ?… I didn’t mean to imply anything was surprising…. Just thought it was a funny coincidence about FM7 and the wheel ending up in a closet…
@@jacohop What else have you got stashed in your closet, I wonder!?
Thrustmaster tmx? Physical effort? You must have noodle arms
I am waiting on the cockpit in the mail and then BOOM: My first Sim Rig (for Drifting/Hoonigan Mainly) Is complete! I am extremely Excited for this! Been wanting to get into SIM Racing for a LONG time; I finally made the Investment! I also love your videos! Cheers!
Glad to hear this. I ordered a G920 last week, should be here this week. :)
Everything you said was right on. I bought a wheel (Thrustmaster T150) for BeamNG after not enjoying a controller, and once I switched to FH5, I have played wheel only. I can't imagine this game being nearly as enjoyable with a controller.
That said, I was more competitive using the wheel in BeamNG on the racetrack, and a car with superior handling and well driven normally won out. In FH5, it seems to be better to tune a car for acceleration and speed and use the walls, rather than steering, to make turns. In BeamNG, that was impossible because the car was affected by damage. Unfortunately, I tune my cars more for handling.
I feel completely outclassed in cross-country races with FH5. On tight race circuits, such as Cathedral and Chihuahua, the wheel is especially competitive, and I feel on equal ground with controller users, even when they do use the walls to change direction.
Where the wheel completely outshines the controller is when you're not in competition and just want to cruise the roads. It's very relaxing and far more immersive.
Please post a video for settings. I have used another TH-camr's video before, and it was a big help. I'd like to see your take on it.
Great content mate, big thanks! Looking forward for controller/gamepad setup video as well! Cheers!
One thing you can do when your car yaws on a corner is 'left foot brake'.. watch a FD drifters footwork. I have found success with reducing the off-road sensitivity for rally racing(cross country is wonky from another wheel player)... love your content btw 🤙🏻 keep em coming
Yes please settings video! This one was great too!
Ey, in first place, nice video!
I've to say that IMO a wheel gives U an adventage over a wheel everytime, Im 255th in the Mountain HillClimb S2 ranking ATM and I've been able to do it thanks to having a wheel.
Controllers have an adventage over wheels about having faster corrections and that's totally right, but U can get more from having a good line that someone with a controller because every input that u can give to the game would be way way more smooth that one gave by a controller, same happens to rally, offroad it's an exception but I think that mostly because how big are some of the jumping impacts that u get in the tracks that make near to impossible to make a car stay straight properly.
Using 900º in a wheel is hella fun and the experience is way better but is proved that getting lower numbers gives U slightly better results, U've to be smooother in your movements but is literally the same that using or not using abs, not everybody is faster without it because not everybody has the sensibility to know how much and when.
With this, what I want to mean is If U have a look a lot of the top tier simracers use between 400º and 500º, no matter if it's F1, WRC or Iracing, U've to get used to it but It's true that it gives U and edge.
The point is that a Wheel need way way way more practice but once U nail it U're capable of way more that someone without one, it's a hard path but ey, it's one that really conforts U when U do things properly.
As tip, try to train U in other games, other disciplines like Rally in WRC or F1, is more about what requires every discipline that about driving in general, rally asking for a lot of trackreading and circuit racing asking for constancy, it would make U way way better racing in general.
Have a nice day sir.
Would love a full settings video, was seriously thinking about that last time haha
My experience : It can be loads of fun. I already had a wheel. Think I looked up some settings online to improve the experience. B Class rally was super fun. Some faster night race was super intense. However, when road racing: once you're off, you're off. Where as with a controller you can sometimes kind of save it. Pick your classes and cars well and you can have so much fun with a wheel.
I would also greatly enjoy seeing a full settings video!
Thank you Jim Halpert for this informative video.
I’m so used to the G29 feeling with project cars 2. I love that feedback. When I started playing forza 5 I was disappointed with the default settings. Really appreciate this video and the setting setup.
the t300 has much better Force feedback tnah g29
@@viptolas so?
@@alingreen98 so it has a better Force feedback 🤷🏽♂️
I use G25 and after some dark magic with settings it feels ok even after GTR2, PC2 and AC. Defaults are so-so indeed, may be they are optimised for "normal" (not simulation) steering mode.
@@viptolas who asked thoo?
finally the video ive been waiting for
Very good video brother. Watching this while a I wait for my Fanatec DD.
I've been playing it on a wheel since launch and it's absolutely awesome... with the right settings of course.
damn, those heel toe downshifts were satisfying to watch
thanks for answering the question right away :)
@HokiHoshi I would love to see a video revisiting this topic 1 year later because I am very interested to hear your thoughts about how much improvement you've gained with your wheel on FH5.
I myself used to agree with this review but since then I eventually upgraded my wheel to CSL DD and , man, I am almost as smooth as controller and am loving it now after finally mastering settings. Cheers 🥂
I've started using a wheel and pedals for racing games ever since they take advantage of the fact that you can modulate the throttle and brake with the trigger buttons on the Xbox 360 and PS3
If even feel like steering is better modulated with a wheel rather than a control
I've been using my G-25 Logitech wheel in FH5 for several weeks now. It's good. Really enjoyable. Was able to tune wheel to be nice to drive, and give a reasonable sort of feedback.
FH5 is a great game to make the transition from controller to wheel. After you've done that the world of sim racing is wide open.
This fully reflects my experience as a wheel user. A note on the spatial awareness: for anything that is not "real" racing (stunts, playground, etc) I use a controller and 3rd person view and use the wheel for everything else including racing, tuning and driving around. However my big issue with the wheel is drifting. I don't mind doing everything I mentioned with the controller but I'd really love to drift with a wheel and I just can't. Not sure if it's me or the game, I just can't.
Overall, very good video with really good information for people that are thinking about buying a wheel. I didn't recommend buying one for FH4 but I do for FH5, even with a considerable amount of caveats.
In Forza Horizon 5 ingame settings, change standard steering to simulation. Drifting in almost every game game it’s not that easy. It require practice. You are going to do it eventually.
@@Bombichote1 thanks. It's already on simulation, I just can't seem to get the hang of it.
@@rvladimiro what timezone are you in? maybe we could convoi up. i have the exact same problem. everything is so easy with controller but I am so struggling with drifting that I ragequit most of the time.
@@rvladimiro it takes a while to learn, if you have a weaker wheel like me (g27) it helps to kinda "throw" the wheel to help the FFB while drifting.
The wheel support in this is the only reason I'm still playing FH the immersion is amazing yet still competitive, I'm loving that dashboard view without the wheel, would be nice to see this with triple screen support but I doubt we'll ever see that.
You can get the game running on three monitors with eyefinity or Nvidia Surround! Unless you mean from an FOV standpoint because yeah, the fov/ui will get pretty goofy
kinda missing the side mirrors and rear view mirror in that view. but it's much cleaner when you have a wheel
I bought a Logitech G923 for me to use in the game, and I don’t regret it myself!
Sounds like it's time to connect my wheel again :)
As for much of the rest of the points in the video, those sound very much like my experience with sim steering on keyboard (still running that since I started it in FH4 after the game got too easy). I think my solution to the fuul steering output was to biuld more understeary cars (even though FH5 tones the input down at high speed), and in particular do offroad only in AWD cars with specific setups as those were very difficult to get to grips to.
Hello, Hoki. Great video! I would really enjoy to see a fully guide video for wheel settings. I recently bought a G29 and i would like to learn to drive using it with the optimal settings so that i don't struggle too much in the future.
Same
me too
Thank you for this Review. It was the video i was looking for to convince myself. I will buy TSXW 😌
Thanks for the great content. It really helps.
I’ve used a G923 on FH4 & FH5 and i have to say, it is immediately more noticeable which game is more fun to play with a wheel.
FH4 makes me feel disoriented, whereas I now have more practice with a wheel than a controller on FH5
FH4 has these artificial steering limitations whereas while FH5 probably still have some sort of assist (like c'mon, cornering 300+kph hitting bumps in any realistic sims with road car is way harder than in Forza), its less noticeable.
To see this, go to both games, pick a high power RWD/AWD car, go to telemetry, use the one that show steering input. Start drifting and you will immediately notice in FH4 they don't allow you to fully counter steer at speed (for some reason) while FH5 they allowed full range. This is with all assist off in both games.
This allows much better car control
@@alan133 Yh FH5 still has some limitations to make it more accessible, but they’re noticeably turned down to the point where it actually feels great to drive in FH5 and countersteering when drifting is more accurate (not sim level, but still really good)
i have the same wheel. how did you make the game playable? its just a giant ice rink. no setteings effect the wheel.
like, the game doesnt have force feed back. if feels like those resistence wheels from the n64 era.
@@beatles42ohgg94 I have a couple of setups with above wheel and moza stuff now. Wheel is fine for forza 4 and 5, you have to simply put the time in and tinker, main thing is turning down actual road and offroad feel and the rest shines through.
BUT everyone is different until you fine-tune your own goodness. An icerink though it has never felt like, you might just need to practice more and at least use AWD until more confident. Even though it's a simcade you can't expect any overpowered car to respond to full throttle etc like some people think they're meant to heh, you also shouldn't run anything overpowered at 900 as well if anyone is.
www.briankoponen.com/forza-horizon-5-logitech-g29-g920-settings/ you can start here though as they are generally the same wheel
Everything I read said the G923 PS version was a no go for FH5 so I haven't bought that game as that's the wheel I use.. it works now?
YES, it's really worth it i love playing with my logitech g923, it's a very good experience! i also have the manual shifter and it's a joy!.
I appreciate the video amazing visuals 🔥🔥.
i like your videos, really informative
I have a Thrustmaster T248. I tend to set my rotation a lot tighter in FH5 and in rally games like DR2. I saw that a professional rally driver sets his wheel at a low rotation in DR2. Give it a go if you suffer from the problem of controller bias. You don't have to turn the wheel so far and can make more refined turns similar to a controllers stick flicking. Sure it's not as realistic but it does work better in this instance.
yes full steering settings video please
I just got my first wheel. Went with fanatec and a 3d motion rig. All in like 3.75k not including the PC.
Honestly I rarely play driving games but it's really fun to play.
I always wondered how the Steering Lock Assist/AI worked in racing games with controller/keyboard, so thanks for providing some input on that.
In FH4 on PC, I had a bug multiple times where the Steering Lock was allowed to go FULL left/right regardless of speed, and it just gave understeering all the time which was interesting.
Hi, the understeer was because you steer to max lock in a split of a second and the front tires loose grip because of that. its like driving on a bycicle and turn immediatelly.. you wont turn just stop and fall :D Hope thats helped you with imagining how physics work :)
@@KUBAJS2000_CZ Yes that's totally obvious, but we never really think about how games intelligently limit steering lock all the time according to the speed, and I think that's fascinating.
Nearly every player in racing/driving games will pull the joystick fully left/right, or hold down A/D to automatically steer as much as possible for a given speed and grip level.
When in reality, the steering lock is constantly being calculated in the background and players don't even know about this crucial aid making driving playable/accessible.
It's funny to think that even with the "Sim" steering setting enabled in Forza games, that this still doesn't allow manual control of steering lock, until you buy a racing wheel.
I'm exited for how wheel support in fh6 will be improved when it comes out and we're all racing in Japan!
It is funny because when I started to watch the video in my head I was like OK, can you beat the best of the best. And you told us straight up, NOPE. So I know even with the best controller I will never ever get into the top 1000. Still, I enjoyed the video and the time you put in to make this for us. So thanks.
Nice Drifting Bro!
Wow this was a great video!
I ordered a Thrustmaster T300 RS GT.
I'm not planning to improve my driving but to enjoy the driving itself even more.
Thanks for saying yes in the beginning, it's late and I got to get to bed
Holy shit the way he breaks and presses the gas pedal to Rev it up for down shifting, SAY WHAT! beautiful driving!
I couldnt do much on wheel in fh4 outside of casual driving, but in fh5 i can keep up with awd cars in a rwd street tune car on rally courses
I would love to see your Thrustmaster wheel settings too!
maybe havent found the right settings yet for fh5 . But i found racing competitively in fh5 was near impossible. In the slightest unsettling of the car you lose way too much speed to correct with a wheel , unlike the controller where u are just 2 taps of a joy stick and a little bit of brake . Its fine for playing against rivals and AI . but online is way too tilting, you get pushed off slightly and u lose 4 seconds and half your speed in order to stay on road. It feels weird when in a full sim like A . C . feels so much easier to drive than an arcadish game
yea you probably have the settings wrong, it feels fairly good to me but ofc not as good as AC
Try using a 1% deadzone. Controllers self centers, center on wheel in fh5 Is too sensitive and leads to loss of control. #2 always use the clutch. As soon as your car steps out too much, push clutch and a quick yoink of the wheel in the opposite direction can usually save it pretty quick. Also get used to "hood cam". Since we don't have haptic feedback, you need to recognize loss of traction in the rear as fast as possible. Hood view is way way better for this than 3rd person view.
@@scyra9997 you have the settings wrong too, because it feels as good as AC to me.
@@Malieus you can notice loss of rear easier in 3rd person 🤦🏻
And why bonnet view?? Why not inside the car??
@@christiantaylor1495 inside the car view is good too but depends on your fov/distance top the monitor. You can look up vids on why that's important. Its harder to notice rear loss of traction in 3rd person cuz you are tellin relying on the graphics of the car to tell you you are losing traction, meaning you have to be looking at the car. It is better to look far ahead of you and not look at the car.
Great vidéo. I bought a tmx, th8a and TLCL to play forza and I love thé feeling but for race I continue to use my controller cause im too bad with wheel. I need to improve with it but definitively the feeling is great.
Cockpit view makes taking lines much easier. You can plan your line well more in advance on a succession of turns
Exactly ! Good review !
I have the g920 its so much fun to drive but vs controller you cant be compétitive!
I have the G29 and the Open wheeler frame. I have fun in FH4,5 but I live in Assetto Corsa VR. I think wheels can make it more fun, but they do require more work.
I use a wheel, and am pretty fast. The biggest problem for road racing for wheel to be competitive is the dreaded power build. Power builds are the one place I've found where wheel FFB and control entirely falls apart. Since power builds are ridiculously faster on many courses, that leaves you out. I was able to get 7th overall S1 on Estadio Circuit and 10th on Sierra Verde overall (once weeding out glitches/cheaters) using a RWD all rounder build that is easy to drive. Both of those limt courses limit power builds, yet still they are the top times. Also, many top tunes from top tuners don't work with a wheel. Many do, but others play to the controller advantages style wise and are undrivable on a wheel. S2/X class can be rough too.
Rally is doable on a wheel. I was able to take 5th overall on S1 El Pipila, only .7 seconds behind Rocklxd's top time. It takes work though and a good tune responsive to the wheel though. Used a smaller DoR (630 instead of 1080 I usually use), so I can manage to correct quickly. It also makes FFB more pronounced in slides in a way that makes them easier to control. I use a formula style rim, so I can't afford for it to be spinning around on me anyways.
And for the record, I am terrible on controller and too old to get used it. like 2-4 seconds a lap slower, and much less consistent. I've also raced pretty competitively in sims like ACC and Raceroom, but had a ton of fun on PC3 and Grid 2019. FH7 is awful with a wheel, but this gives me hope that 8* might be worth it.
I think I’m gonna get one, lost my right leg halfway up the shin in a motorcycle accident about a year ago. Had a lot of free time and started playing forza. It’s kinda my hobby now and a replacement for riding.
💯💯. Stay in there fam
@@pHixiq I think forza turned me into a car guy. Started with my own car then decided I want a new car so I’m trying to learn car detailing
@@MrDickhead47 yeah I was never into cars until I got my first one. Then I started playing forza and now I’m in LOVE with cars 🤣. And that’s funny because I have a small detailing business that I run. It’s pretty easy to do in terms of a “good cleaning”. Pro level is the pressure washing and stuff. Which is where I wanna be. I charge family $10 and everyone else $25-$50 depending on how bad it is. If it’s really bad it goes higher
@@pHixiq I have a pressure washer, had one for a while. I started super cleaning my car like I did my bike. The paint has some spots from being in the elements. I just clay barred it and used the turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic spray and it looks great. What I want to know is the professional products. I use Meguiars wash and wax in my foam cannon, don’t have a process for wheels yet. Use Meguiars natural shine on applicator pads for panels, brushes for cracks and invisible glass. But I KNOW the detailing businesses aren’t hitting up orieleys and using little spray bottles. They use a gallon of concentrate and dilute it but I don’t know what they use and they keep it a secret
@@pHixiq hey for pressure washer I got my green works one for like 80$ and it’s 1800 psi, you really don’t want more than that. And a spot cleaner or “extractor” as they call it is cheap if you don’t have one lying around. For carpets get a medium strength drill brush and any carpet cleaner, use soft drill brush for seats and just suck up the extra. I REALLY wanna find the products the pros use and I’ve got a business I think
Super Video...
My personal experience: I set my max wheel range smaller to compensate against controller speed (this needs some personal fine tune). After doing so I'm able to hold more grip due to constant input compared to controller and overall I can't get as fast with my controller as with my cheep g29 wheel.
You talk about cross country difficulty (s1 class), have you tried be lighter with your right foot? (not to be sarcastic, it helps for me).
It's way more relaxing to play with a controller tho.
I play this game with a Fanatec DD1 and I absolutely love it. All the cars feel different. More ppl really need to play these games with a wheel, its a whole new experience. Also…. Forza Horizon 4 I feel has been updated because it works well with my wheel, very similar to FH5. And still.. Forza Motorsport 7 is the best force feedback of all these Forza games.
I have a csl dd and I can’t get it to work at all
Great video
as a game pad gamer that really loves FH5 I found this very helpful and detailed. Thank you for touching on such large variety of scenarios and topics. 👌🏼
Thanks for this video. I play Forza quite a bit and make videos on TH-cam of my gameplay too. I have been wondering about the Steering Wheel idea since all I use now is a Microsoft Xbox controller. 🙂
I never had a wheel before but I just bought a G923 and a Logitech shifter, the fun is incomparable to a controller. Its so much fun.
I will have to give it another try. First time I tried wheel on there it was way way off for some reason.
I've just purchased a wheel for Forza mainly because while I think it works well with a controller (I use a PS4 controller, blasphemy, I know), I got an intro level wheel and pedal setup (Logitech G920) because I feel like it'll ultimately make it easier to control my throttle and brakes. I find on controller, even when I try to slowly increase my throttle so as not so slide, I still slide. It's hard for me to get consistently good launches on controller. I also think it'll be fun, I remember a friend brought over his Xbox and $60 wheel set and I had fun with it, so I'm sure a $300 setup will be even more fun. I didn't get the gear shifter or special chair, I plan on using my desk to put the wheel on for now and the floor for the pedals, but that may change later on.
I just got a second hand G920 for about €100, which I think is a pretty decent deal.
I bought it for FH5, but also for WRC9 and the upcoming FM8
Please make a in depth vid or a comment on the wheel settings you are using for your Thrusti :)
I use the the same wheel with the cheap stock pedals and consider to upgrade to the new Fanatec Csl Lc pedals cause i am struggling badly after switching off the controller.
great video
I don't get the complaints about wheel support in FH4. I have a G27 and I love the feel. The key for me was balancing linearity and sensitivity. Turn them down to arrive 20-40. It took a little time dial it in but I think it's great. FH5 is even better though.
as an amateur, i remember using a wheel for gran torismo on a PS3 instead of the controls and the force feedback wheel worked great but it was weird getting it to lock down. i'm not gentle enough with the sticks on the controller.
Can we get a setting video? Saw some on fh5 but there is a lot of discrepancy and I trust you so would be very happy to see it
I drive g29 but any wheel setting video welcome
2:32 this is a perfect description of how the wheel feels on fh5
dude I've been waiting for this video for a while. I've had a wheel for close to a year now and when I first launched FH5 with it, I instantly noticed a massive difference between FH4 & 5. I mainly play on my wheel now and I've definitely noticed that I've gotten better across all of my simulator games while spending most of my time in FH5. it's totally worth it now.
Most race cars use either a steering quickener or a high ratio steering rack that requires very little movement of the steering wheel. For example an F1 car has only about 180 degrees of steering wheel movement. Also, a Subaru WRX sti has a quicker steering ratio than the base model.
Would love a setting’s video!
I made sure to change a few settings to make things less sensitive. It makes me completely uncompetitive (not that I ever cared about online stuff in Forza tbh), but it makes driving so much more realistic. Then I tune my cars to behave much more like they should. Whether that's through making more unstable setups or just reducing grip in general. Also, tuned suspension steering is FAR too sensitive on the wheel. This can be easily fixed by using Rally or Drift suspension rather than race, and just tuning the car for whatever you're trying to do.
I'm definitely buying one
rear wheel drive cars are hella fun on the wheel now, lol it's all i build for road races
A gaming wheel is the equivalent of full body tracking in vr. It is great but optional if you cant offered it then don’t worry about it but if you can then go for it
playing with a wheel was really the game changer for me. I was never a fan growing up with racing games but recently for my birthday i got gifted one and man the fun never stops. I woudl say if youre happy to spend the money for one go ahead but i think for people who are a bit reluctant its better of not getting one.
I mean, just by the title, I'd say yes probably. I want a wheel, since I don't actually have one. I'm wanting to see if I can play Ridge Racer 7 with a wheel via RPCS3, and TrackMania, I figure it would be super fun!
Wheel support is fun and all but i'm a bit down when they took off the gear grind sound when you forgot to press on the clutch when changing gears in FH5, they have it on FH4
I challenge anyone to go drive your car with an Xbox X controller. There’s just so much of a learning curve with a controller. Lag on braking and turns etc.
I’ve learned, from being new to the game series, to throw out whatever you were taught when you were learning to drive. This is “totally different.”( which I just heard you address in the video 😀)
Wheel and pedals are not easy at all! I’d rather stick with a controller but .. it’s just going to take hours to master either one I guess.
I have over 500h in Assetto Corsa, not to mention ACC, RBR and other sim titles. I was pleasently surprised how good FH5 feels on the wheel.
i personally think its very lacking in the ffb
@@maur7432 Compared to simulation games for sure. But my expectations for ffb in FH5 were quite low, hence my surprise.
Yes, much better with wheel. Fanatec DD pro and wrc wheel. Not perfect, but pretty good 😀
Guess I need to try the wheel, though I don’t have a shifter so would need to be auto or manual no clutch. My biggest challenge on FH5 is braking, I can’t get the feel of it in this game. It goes from nothing - nothing - nothing straight to full lock. I’ve had to turn on ABS for the first time in a racing game because I just can’t get the feel, maybe pedals will help. Well, off to buy a folding chair to try it out!
Braking is so much worse than in 4. You aren't the only one bro.
@@eddycd24 and before launch, weren’t they bragging about how much better branding was going to be?
