How do i change the steering sensitivity settings!!??

[Aphelion]

I just got a thrustmaster T60 wheel (im no pro) and im finding it difficult to use because you have to turn the wheel about 1 fifth of the way in order to actually move the car. is there any way to fix this? im kind of frustrated. i have tried looking for a way to up the senitivity but cant find the setting for it! Please help!

Driving options at the very bottom.

That only works for the DS3, not steering wheels.

Im not sure if that makes a single bit of difference though! it only works for DS3 i think!

It seems to work on wheels but not in the way the OP wants. Setting the sensitivity to 7 is good for wheel users as it helps to reduce any lag in input.

Sounds like the wheel in question is in 900 degree mode which can require some cranking to get around the sharp corners. I do not have a Thrustmaster wheel so I do not know what options are available. On the Fanatec Wheel I have you can set the sensitivity on the fly to pretty much whatever you like but I generally set it to off and let the game take control, this way different cars feel different some require a lot of wheel to get around a corner and others require a little. for example Carts are much quicker steering than say a 60s or 70s muscle car

Pretty certain it makes a noticeable difference using a wheel. As said, not necessarily in the way OP wishes... I had been running CSS=0 since pretty much day one, but set it to 6 the other day and immediately felt response to be much better. Nice to know what it actually does now: reduced input lag. Thanks.

I notice a difference between all levels of "sensitivity", I even change it depending on the car I am driving.

Yes, Using a Wheel. Actual DF:GT.

This has been shown not to be the case. Though I dont blame you for interpreting it this way. PD seem to have a funny way of explaining the features of their games to players.

Been wondering about the inconsistencies in functional descriptions...

Show me the proof please that this is the case, other than people just saying so. I have done my own tests and have found no differences in the settings using both the G27 and the Thrustmaster. I have no way to make a video, otherwise I would provide proof that it has no effect. Burdon of proof falls on you anyway since you are saying that it does other than what the description says.

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

The description says basically that it alters the sensitivity of the controller. In case you are not aware a steering wheel is a controller. It does do what the description says it is just confusing

Havent actually tried it myself but there has been over 5 people I can recall that swear it makes a difference. Thought its possible they are all wrong, I cant vouch for them until I try it myself.

Ah, alright then. Well like I said, I tried it myself on both wheels and found no difference so I'm going with my findings, not by what a few people say.

So youve tried -2 and 7 on an X1 and you notice no difference

No, I didn't use the X1 in my tests. I used a NASCAR car, the Bentley Speed 8, the '69 Camaro, and for visual reference so I could see the front wheels, I used the 2012 X-Bow Street. I'll try the X1 though and see if there is any difference with that one.

time yourself too.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

What do you mean " time myself"? Are you talking lap times?

 

[starknight97]

Didn't know it worked on wheels, turning it up next time I'm playing.

I would test it for yourself first before taking other people's word for it.

 

[starknight97]

Yea I am later.
Edit: I'm using g27.

Sensitivity setting will make difference on wheel, I'm using G27 also, and there is huge difference on those settings.
Sorry if your eye-muscle line is not noticing changes.

No need to try to belittle me just because I'm disabled. If you, and others, want to believe that the setting works with wheels, that's fine. I have done my own testing though and have found no difference in the settings at all with the wheels.

 

[NeuroPhage]

Couple seconds improvement on best lap with FGT around Silverstone with all aids off in TT mode says it makes a difference on a DFP.

 

[bjosim]

I know the effect is not placebo. I felt I needed more sensitivity to go faster and turned it up. Subsequently I went faster, but then later when a lesser skilled friend of mine came on a visit he started wobbling when driving and said he had a harder time keeping the car stable. He did not know about the changed setting. Then I turned it down and he was back on track

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

This all sounds interesting. Guess I'll have to go back and do more testing. Like I said before though, I hadn't noticed any difference in feel or lap times when I tested it a few days ago, but I'll give it another try. 👍

Sounds like it works then according to your post, trying it now.

Dont try notice it based on lap times. Watch your lap times for the sake of being thorough but dont count on it.

Try to notice it by feel. Thats why I said use an X1. It should highlight any diffrences more than any other car. Pick a windy course too with lots of corners close to each other.

IF you dont notice it with an X1 try a tuned road car like a veyron. Its possible it makes a difference to some cars but not others. This is PD we're talking about. Holding x and standing on 1 foot while changing your oil probably gives you an extra 10 hp.

@ PD. Yea, I know what you mean. Alright, I'll follow your advice and test it your way. 👍 I'll let you know what I come up with.

I dont think he was targeting your disability m8...... all the glitches gt series has I'll believe anything. As I said ia different thread the amateur / professional / simulation works on all wheels highlighted or not! This is very interesting with the sensitivity as I thought it was only for DS3... some testing needs to be done later

Well, I agree with you about all the glitchiness of the game, but I strongly stand behind what I say about the amateur / professional / simulation settings. They work just as the game says they work, for the appropriate wheels. Blaming the games glitchiness as a base for your/others argument here in regards to these settings is just weak, in my opinion. I have tested, tested, and tested some more and see no differences in regards to these settings working with the wheels for which they are not intended for.

The sensitivity thing I will however back off of as far as my original thoughts on that go. I did do more testing with this and I'll just say that I am willing to give the claim that the sensitivity settings work with steering wheels the benefit of the doubt.
