Wr with gamepad? how fast should gamepad vs wheel be in ac?

It would annoy the hell out of the gamepad/mouse/keyboard users, PAKFA. If that happened, chances are those same users would look elsewhere for their sim racing fix.

 

There is no button mashing, PS and XBOX gamepads (or other modern popular ones) use axis for brake and gas (triggers), and obviously the analog stick is also an axis. Therefore the only difference with a wheel is the rotation range. And gamepad controls have support to simulate the speed at which you'd move a steering wheel with your hands. And you can also lower the steering/virtual degrees of the cars for gamepads.

 

Another day, another useless thread started by @PAKFA with the intent of bashing something in AC.

Done.

 

yeah getting a little rough in there last night, I was hit around a bit...id cause 2 though...oops,sorry, my bad, could've been me.

 

Only you support this theory that new and existent simracers would like more if the game had no or bad gamepad support. Just because it has good driving support, doesn't influence in anything what you do with a ffb steering wheel. Should they also discriminate non-ffb steering wheels? Should they also discriminate steering wheels which have a rotation range lower than the lowest steering rotation car in the game?

 

The level of absurdity in this thread is almost beyond belief.

Someone is upset that some pad users are faster than they are and their reaction is to want all pad users penalized? Am I reading this correctly?

Someone is upset and they want to impose their point of view on everyone else so they can feel good about themselves? Really?

Thanks just the same, as I really needed a good laugh.

 

For me using a wheel is 100% easier than using a pad, should they make me slower for pad users to be able to beat me ?

 

They should make you slower anyway, William....just so that the rest of us have a chance!

 

>: )

 

btw Pafka: Wheel user are already faster then any gamepad user. Im fast in race, but not always in front, there are many ones, who drive easily faster. Hotlapping isnt that important too, so calm down. Everything is right.

 

I could understand the concern if the leaderboards were dominated by pad and keyboard users but pad users are less than 10% of times on RSR and fast pad users are quite rare...

 

You can drive iracing with your phone

 

Fine, I give up. The majority wins here. I can admit my view is not shared by many, that doesn't mean I will change it, I still think equality among input devices is wrong is a sim that values true simulation.

So let's just leave it like this and agree to disagree.

 

How are input devices equal if almost all of us know we would be slower if we used a pad instead of a wheel?

 

They are equal because it possible to be that good, because those guys prove it's possible. The only reason we are not as good as them it's because we don't have enough practice with pads, that all.

The game allows to be that good if you have enough practice. It's as simple as that and it should not be, no matter how good you are with a pad, there should be a limit, call it a soft lock if you want.

 

Seems to me that there is already a limit considering that there isn't a pad user in the game faster than BenC, Hany, William L, or any of the handful of other aliens that occupy the top of the populated leaderboards. I'm not that fast yet I doubt there is more than one or two pad users that are faster than me.

Then what comes next? Should I not be allowed to be faster than you because I didn't spend as much money for my wheel?

 

There is no button mashing, PS and XBOX gamepads (or other modern popular ones) use axis for brake and gas (triggers), and obviously the analog stick is also an axis.

I use my XB360 pad for Trackmania and Spintyres, it works great there. I've done about 2 laps in AC before giving up, I certainly didn't find it easy. I accept that some kiddywinks were almost born with a game pad in their hand though so maybe it comes more naturally.

If someone can manage a WR with a game pad then I salute them tbh...
