Generic Advanced Steering Setup (Controller)

Hi, can anyone summarise the advanced steering options? Things feel a little twitchy on a pad currently. I'm not looking for settings just an explanation of what each setting does, so I can tweak.

Speed Sensitivity -
Steering Speed -
Steering Filter -
Steering Gamma -


I have searched, but I can only find recommended settings for v0.8 etc PC build so I'm sure things have changed since then.
Thanks

 

It should be something like (on PC):

Speed Sensitivity - How much the game will limit your max steering lock, according to instant car speed (let's say: at 30Km/h if you steer max right on your ministick, the virtual wheel will rotate more degrees than at 300Km/h)
Steering Speed - How fast the virtual wheel will react to your input and reach the limit of the available lock. Or in another way, how fast the virtual pilot will rotate the wheel.
Steering Filter - How much the game will smooth/limit aggressive input delta
Steering Gamma - The steering response curve. Gamma 1 should be 1:1, so from the middle position->full right (or left) stick travel, the input it sends goes from 0% (center) to 50% (middle right travel) to 100% (end) in a linear fashion. At Gamma 2 it might be something like 0% (center), 25% (middle right travel) to 100% (end) in a exponential curve, and so on as you raise it. Basically it'll tame input values near the center, while rising them more abruptly near the end of travel.

Depending on how you set the parameters, they might agree or fight each other (too high Filter will mess Steering Speed). So please do one change at a time.

 

This information is absurdly harder to find than it should be. (Particularly as it 'should be' in the game.)

Speed Sensitivity: at 100% the car reacts to steering input the same at higher speeds as it does at lower. Lowering the percentage dampens steering input at higher speeds.

Steering Speed: 'Twitchiness' of the steering overall.

Steering Filter: How quickly stick input affects the turning of the steering wheel. At 100% the wheel cannot be turned at all.

Steering Gamma: at higher settings light inputs on the control stick affect the steering less, on a curve from stationary to maximum directional input.

For what it's worth, here's what I ended up with after a couple hours of testing, to make the cars handle smoother and less twitchy:

Speed Sensitivity: 20%
Steering Speed: 0%
Steering Deadzone: 0%
Steering Filter: 20%
Steering Gamma: 200%

 

I also expect that soon we get "right/best" settings from community, just like it was with pCars or with Dirt rally.
It seems that nowadays default pad settings in games are way worse than what those settings could be.

Have tinkered those settings a little but haven't found the best ones yet.

Have to add that I'm talkin about XO's side.

 

i shall certainly want help with this. I'm really struggling to control the cars at the moment..really looking forward to nailing it !!

 

Just curious... out of the box when I played Project Cars on XBONE I could hardly steer or control any of the cars with my controller and I had to configure
Speed Sensitivity, Steering Speed, Steering Deadzone, Steering Filter, and such.... Is Assetto Corsa going to be the same way or is it going to be basically plug and play? I would much rather spend time enjoying the game and driving than have to configure, configure, configure. Don't get me wrong I don't mind doing a little bit to get the steering and handling precise but I'm not wanting to spend days researching and changing settings...

 

This helped a lot

 

Thanks guys, I found a good setup on PCars as someone wrote a good guide on getting setup.

Really good info here. Seems like a few more threads regarding the same thing have popped us since yesterday.

Yeah it really should be in game.

 

Even with following the guide on PCars I could never get my cars to handle right on PCars so I stopped trying to play the game... I hate to say it but if AC is the same way I might just have to return it...

 

hey boys the advanced option for the pads are bugged !!! it is useless to change them, the "range" whenever you change the steering remains to the right, and same thing when you modify the "filter", immediately need a correction for Xbox One and ps4, we have to draw their attention to this serious problem !! (The same problem happened with project cars on day one).
sorry for my English, but I'm Italian.

 

Playing on the Xbox One with a background more in Forza I've found the following settings enjoyable on the pad.

Speed Sensitivity: 20%
Steering Speed: 5%
Steering Deadzone: 3%
Steering Filter: 65%
Steering Gamma: 3.7

 

I've tried similar to this and found 2 issues, steering is too slow at low speeds, like when you exit the pits. And almost impossible to catch oversteer snap,

 

Well I should mention I play with the Elite pad, you can adjust how the left stick works. I've added the delay preset to it. This gives me subtle control over initial movements and in the case of snap oversteer if I move the stick all the way to the left or right the jump in sensitivity allows me to save the car most of the time.

As far as making a pit stop, I've not made one yet

 

Nice, and ha, I do not make pit stops. I do race weekends mostly so start from the pits.
