Here discus about few sliders for DS setting that Straight4 gave us.

Natural support for the DualSense is terrible, so take a look, and if you have some good advice or settings, share it here!

Here is a screen with DS sliders:

I think they are from the Global Force Feedback Gain to Haptic Strength.

That I already tweaked something, and it feels little better, but it's far from Rennsport and GT7...

I wonder if much of those would work on Series X. I am hesitant to buy the game because of the controls mostly.
 
I have no Force Feedback at all...Strange

I'm wondering how's nobody else having problems with driving experience with Dualsense...

And here are his sliders:

Now I find out if you play with the Default settings for the Controler Buttons then the FFB and Haptic FB is working.
When I change the Button settings, I replaced the Acceleration and Breaking From L2/L1 to X and squere, than the FFB and Haptic FB is not working.
This shouldn't be like that...

How did you change from L2/R2 to X and square? It won't allow me to map square (or circle). In GT7 I use X/square for go/stop and L2/R2 for shift down/up. Thought I'd do the same in this game, but...
 
Is there any way to remap the steering control? I’d like to remap the sticks to the motion control, (using the controller like a wheel).

Thanks.

Remapping anything on controller looks like an afterthought/low priority at the moment. Playing with triggers for go/stop makes me feel like I'm riding a motorbike or controlling an RC Tamiya model. I'd prefer to stomp on the X/square pedals with my right foot (thumb) as I do with some success in GT7. I wonder if what you're asking here might be possible in the PS5 settings, because I see no mention of motion control within the game itself.

Frustrating, as with the great car list and interesting tracks it's an open goal for them. If playing on controller was even remotely equivalent to how GT does it they'd be raking in millions by now. I do like the less forgiving driving physics, but all the adjustable input/controller settings, without any hint as to what each does, makes it feel a really good setup might just be there waiting if you make the right tweaks. But life's too short. PD seem to get it.

Did anyone found some at least, close to ok Dualsense settings after new update?

I've tried them few and nothing better, gamepad wasn't in their minds.

I tried these yesterday before my stream:



But you can't "catch" a car from spining, no RL fight, only left-right with red tires...

That answers my question. Thanks.

I subscribe to that channel. Which is excellent.

I just picked up PMR yesterday ( F Walmart ). I haven't messed around with it very long but I found this video as well so Im going to use their settings
 
Do you have "Force Feedback Detail" in settings?

It supposed to be under "Low Force Boost"

I don't have it on PS5, but curious did they removed it with last update...?

Nope. No idea if it was ever there.

Having started off by pretty harshly criticising the game (specifically the controller aspect) and then somewhat come round to enjoying getting used to things, it's time to go back on the offensive, I think, after further reflection on my experiences (and other users', based on some of the videos and comments here) in the hope that someone on the dev team might be eavesdropping.
Yes, I'm taking it for granted that they'll get round to sorting out the button mapping and the lack of explanations for all the very many settings, because I assume they'll be wanting the game to sell to console users, who mostly play on pads (the GT7 threads here can make it look 50-50, but they're far from representative, it'll be at least 10-1 pad-wheel on consoles, if not 100-1 or more) and I assume the dev team are not imbeciles and want a nice income stream, even if they themselves use wheels. So there's that.

But. If you want 'normal' pad players of console driving games (I won't use the term 'casual' because most of us aren't that) like GT7 or Forza to buy/play your game (and pay your wages) you need to make it ballpark close to GT7 to get them in. You might not like that, but as is, and much as I personally am kinda getting used to PMR, there's not a hope in hell this will take off with pad users.
Putting aside online races (presumably vs wheel users), the enduro challenges and even the career for now, just sticking with race weekends, if someone like me who's played GT7 for close to 2000 hrs, golded all CEs and licences and won many daily races, all on pad, is still, after coming on for 20 hrs of acclimatising to your game, spinning out for no obvious reason on corner exits or even mid-straight, then there's something wrong. Yes, to a certain extent it's probably a skill issue, I make no claim to being among the best (I've pretty much been high B DR forever), but it's certainly a 'you' issue too. If PD can give a nice predictable, repeatable pad driving experience with just a few basic settings, so can you. Doesn't necessarily have to be easy, but we shouldn't be expecting to be visiting the barriers so regularly. And we shouldn't need to be scouring Internet forums for pad settings that'll just stop our steering feeling so iffy and unstable. Car setups, maybe, but not pad settings.
Just make it better, please.

It was really helpful, thank you. :)
 
Do you found Dualsense lost on support with 1.5.0.2? The one from last evening.

I'm shocked how is now heavier to control and easier to spin...

Having not played for a week, I came back to it for an hour this morning to see if any big changes on pad. Noticed they've improved the pad settings/inputs screen; just five or six settings now, not that messy wall of confusion that it was before. Haven't messed around with settings today, just set to default and got on to Race Weekend practice in a few different cars. Didn't really notice that much difference to before tbh, but if anything, slightly improved (could be placebo tho). Still much room for improvement, but at least they haven't made it worse imo...

Edit: And oh yeah, still cannot map the pad buttons to how I'd like to try them...

I was little exploring menus and found new Dualsense settings, like you said.

And they are doing fantastic job, even I don't know for what all of them are...

But this is my best combination so far:

Opinions are welcome...
And I'm glad if this my settings help someone - they did game much better for me.
 
There is that bindings screen, but you cannot bind some of the buttons (square and circle, off the top of my head, maybe triangle too; you can unbind them from their presets, but cannot reallocate them, seems to be a bug).

If you think that's wrong, pls show me a screen with L2 allocated to gear down, R2 gear up, X as accelerate and Square as brake, which is what I'd like to try. The sticking point will be the Square button (you'll be able to unbind it, but not reallocate it.) I'd be VERY happy to be proved wrong...

Anyway, this is the wrong forum, let alone thread, for PMR settings, but just sayin'...

Just a carry over from the other thread but those buttons binded fine for me. It saved as well. Don't worry I'm not doing this to prove you wrong or anything, am actually curious what the issue might be for you. Maybe a controller issue? Or it might just have been something that was fixed in the update

Wow. That's insane. Mind. Blown.
Tried tens of times. Absolutely cannot get those buttons to bind like this (X is OK, but not square for sure, all that does is save current settings). Will try again tomorrow, but genuine thanks for showing me this, at least now I know it's possible, or should be... Hope it's not a pad issue.
You are on PS, right, not playing with a Dualsense on PC?

PS5 yes. Make sure you're clicking X on the control you want to change and then clicking the button you want to change to

Will try again tomorrow and report back. Thanks for showing me this, I have hope now. If it doesn't work tomorrow I'll delete and reinstall the game.


Edit: Wow! It's worked! Amazing, many, many thanks @Hasnain282 for showing me it's possible. Had given up trying a week ago. 90% sure it must be something the update fixed, but 10% chance it could've been my own stupidity (it's not exactly the best UI in the gaming world...)

Much more comfortable now, I know triggers are faster, but using them feels odd to me, like I'm riding a motorbike or controlling a slot car. It's a 'me' thing, I know, but then I have to play in cockpit view too, knowing I can be faster in bonnet or bumper cam. As long as we have the options it's all OK, right?

These are settings I ended up with, though funnily they seem to be the opposite to you. I play GT7 regularly and I guess I tried to make them match my driving style on that.
I tested them using the M3 GTR, Lister Storm and Alpine LMDh at Donington
The Lister Storm was still difficult especially in the slow speed and I'm not sure if I was driving the Alpine properly as the tyres weren't heating, though it was still drivable
I also don't know how these settings would be on a bumpier track

I will try yours later when I get a chance

New update, new troubles!
Now they added what have they removed before...
So, more sliders, more pain, specially for those who doesn't understand in setups...

Here is what I've manage to work best:

I wasn't comfortable with the Default setting so I come up with this.

Default - Lap time - Sebring - C8R - 2:06.028
Custom Settings - Lap time - Sebring - C8R - 2:04.706

Custom feels better and I have more confidence driving the car.
