PS4 Steering wheel -VS- Controller

Is there a possibility that Assetto Corsa make a server special for the players with wheels and special for players with controllers ?
Because it is a massive difference between controller and the others with wheels when you on the same track
and drive on the limit !
Absolutely unrealistic battle

 

Not going to happen, even when you hopefully get private servers you will not be able to set this up. Sorry for the bad news.

edit: The Steam link under us PC users has vanished in the console threads. Good call Kunos. Ooops! Maybe should have stayed quite. Looks like it was a Maxthon failure.

 

I personally don't see a need for this honestly. I race with guys on wheels multiple times a week and have no problem holding my own, giving room, and making clean overtakes on the controller.

 

Iznogood, I'm sorry to contradict you but ( I know its only one bloke) one of the quickest players I have come up against ( in the hotlap challenge) is on a controller against approximately 15 others and he is quicker than most of us... have you got good settings for your controller? The right set up can make a lot of difference.... Don't get me wrong if I was using a controller I am definitely not as quick -
I didn't finish writing this as I was interrupted a couple of hours ago - HavanaBob is that man

 

Can you share your controller settings? I'm on Xbox but your theory will help me

 

This is what I use.

 

hhh, always glad to see people using it

 

I think it would be fair to every player on the server in addition has a label whether he uses a controller or steering wheel ?

 

I mean you could have this I guess, but honestly when I'm racing the last thing I'm thinking about is what someone else is using to play the game. You can have people that can't control their cars on wheels just as you can have people that can actually drive with a controller. I don't think seeing what someone is using will change that.

 

Splitting controller users and wheel users would be dumb. On PC the top controller players are just as good if not better than wheel users, and the consoles use the same settings for the controllers as PC. For example I'm one of the best controller players on the PC, and almost everyone that I meet online initially does not believe that I use a controller. You can be just as fast on a controller as a wheel. If anyone is interested, my controller settings for steering are the default ones except I turn up the rumble intensity to the max setting.

 

Get a wheel Hman! JK.

You are very quick with a controller mate, I just find it's the consistency in an actual race that is hard with it. You can relax an arm with the wheel but have to have a claw grip on the controller for the entire time which can be uncomfortable.

 

It would be an exellent idea as when wheel and pad users are on the same track its a recipe for disaster (in most cases NOT ALL). A must IMO.

 

I don't know if the general standard of skill has improved, though I'm sure it has, but when I was on the controller I found that the wheel users were smoother than those on controllers and now I use a wheel I can see why. I was a die hard controller user til I tried the wheel on here... the wheel I'm using is not supported and therefore isn't very good (no FFB) but to be quite honest I would advise you gents on controllers to try the wheels that are available...
To separate racers because of their chosen input method would be a mistake with the largely fragmented population of this game already...
But on the issue of identification of control method I would want that on leaderboards but as a track tool (no not me) they would be appreciated by many I'm sure....

 

I actually spent 400 hours in this game using a x360 and then a x1 controller and afterwards (last year), I got myself a G29 with a shifter (600 hrs with it already). I mean, ofc, a wheel is very nice, but the main reason I wasn't playing with a wheel from the beginning was that I didn't simply have the space for it. Money wasn't really a question here, but needed to use a controller since the space I had for gaming was very limited. After things changed and I made enough space to have my setup (also stored when I want to play BF4, do have a wheel stand pro v2) I got the wheel and yes, with wheel, you can be more consistent, its more natural, its more relaxing, but still, not everyone is able to use the wheel for one or the other reason .... :/

But what I wanted to get to was, my times didn't necessarily become faster, when comparing myself on RSR, I was still trailing roughly 10% after the WR (if it was a popular combo). The only thing which it significantly helped was my consistency over a race, it was much easier to slip the finger a bit and do an error with a controller then it is with a wheel. And ofc, as said, wheel is much more enjoyable, just sheer driving excitement

 

Yeah, not because they can't do it...

The failure would be doing what you've striked out, console players don't need to be subjected to fake insiders sabotaging real issues being brought to light, only way to improve the game. Anyone else notice that the bugs/errors section of the AC site accounts for almost 50% or more of the discussions on the forums, says it all right there to me.

 

You just gotta find a comfortable grip. As far as consistency, you just have to put in the hours.

 

It should be 95% as this is a support forum, not a community forum. But hey, Kunos are good to us and let us get a bit distant from the forums main purpose.

 

I used one for 2 seasons, seasons 2 and 3. A wheel gives you alot more consistency and flexibilty. Kudos to your controller speed though.

 

When I first started playing PCars on a controller I found very similar issues to those I found with AC. To solve the problem of twitchiness I started using 'stick extenders' and found this also helped with AC. Its not a 'fix' but it worked for me and several others - they are not silly expensive - maybe worth a try... (cheaper than a wheel) Good luck on your controllers and Happy Racing
