So I just got a wheel. DFGT.
Let's see how well our setups work with the wheel.

You should feel a lot of differences with the dfgt because tuning a controller is lagging your driving experience.yes,you might be faster with a controller then a wheel if you're got used to driving with a controller,but with the force feedback and 900 degrees,it's like driving a real life car

i just got into a touge lobby for my wheels maiden voyage!!
 
Well, that went well... couldn't go 90 seconds without wrecking in the full-damage lobby but every painstaking second was suck bliss!!

Now I'm going out to enjoy my birthday the proper way... drunk as 🤬 in the club!
 
So... I've been doing the license tests all over again in order to better familiarize myself with the wheel. It's like a completely new game!
 
new wheel. Good luck. The learning curve will be apx. 2-3 weeks. There will be plenty of swearing until then. Just be patient and smooth i am sure you will get the hang of it.

I currently use a wheel and many of your tunes. I have made slight adjustments to your tunes to fit me and my style. Look forward to see what you have to offer now that you will be tuning with a wheel.

Maybe you will be needing a new stand or rig to go with the new wheel, check out this

Again thanks for all your tunes.

thanks for the advice, i've sworn plenty at it already but patience is key, as you said. I intend to go back and update some of my setups for the wheel in addition to the DS3 setup, have numbers in parentheses for the wheel, etc.

but that will come in due time, for now i have to learn to drive all over again haha

My first Touge setup for the wheel. Tuned using the Logitech DFGT.
Fast. Agile. And with plenty of mid-range torque to push you up, down and around those twisty mountain roads. Mild dampers keep it grounded and stroking in all the right places; tight springs maintain a poised stance always ready to pounce! Very easy and fun to drive, in the right hands, this blown roadster can outpace cars with twice the power.

The Wing ZERO.
Tuned to handle and outpace most modern cars on the twisty roads of the Nurburgring and outpace Supercars on the Mulsanne . With over 3000RPM of usable torque in all gears, speeds of up to 220mph, and given enough room (like the Mulsanne) this thing can also draft beyond 240mph. Despite the added ballast, this car stays light and nimble.. able to dance with the best from offerings from Italy, Germany and Japan.

So. I've had my new wheel for about three weeks now and have been getting better with it by the day.

Your enemies' time has come. Take them on a ride to the afterlife as they asphyxiate on all the dust they'll be inhaling whist you speed by them with the rumble of the Ford's roaring, supercharged V8 reverberating throughout the Green Hell. Try it with ABS OFF if you're feeling like a boss.

I have now updated the OP so that when clicking on the tab/link to our setups, it takes you to the single post view instead of the post in the thread. this will make it easier, faster and more efficient to look up and use our tunes

happy driving!

With a wheel, do you think the street cars is a bit harder to tune then race cars

Yeah, considerably. Because the race cars are already tuned to their maximum potential for the most part. All I would need to do is adjust for particular tracks, gearing, wheel alignment and other small things. Or I could go the extremist approach and tune every aspect of said race car.

With the street cars, I have to do far more testing and running to feel the balance of it and see how certain settings would affect the overall dynamic of the car.

Oversteer and understeer are more pronounced in street cars because they're tuned for comfort and every-day use,so finding out the ideal setups for these cars is more tedious, but still very much fun!

Aggressively tuned to make the most use of the AYC for those that know how to use it. Surely there must be some manual some where in how to actually use the blasted thing. What does Active Yaw Control do anyway? Does it make you go faster round corners or just trick you into going sideways in a 4WD car to make you think you're going faster round corners. Hmm... tricky.

What is a Calico, you ask? Well, it could be a cat, or a rather ghastly looking gun. But if you know any better, you'd know I wouldn't name a Lan Evo after a cute little kitty, a gun perhaps... but no. Even better - a Snake!

UPDATE:
Major Updates - Lowered Weight, raised suspension, adjusted wheel alignment and a completely new gearbox.
Minor Updates - Raised front damper compression, adjusted brake bias, switch Sports Air Filter for Sports Exhaust Manifold for torque boost. Lowered Downforce.

MidnightRose Reveiw

If I remember correctly my first words after driving this car for the first time were "HOLY 🤬 THATS FAST!" I had seen your tunes before and used your supra rz tune which, BTW, has helped my slaughter numerous other supra's, gtr's, and even a ARC viper running 300 more hp then me. I had to come back and look at all your other tunes but one caught my eye. The name "Midnight Rose" caught my eye with a strange looking car I had never seen before next to it. When I first saw the specs I was a little skeptical to be honest. A 718hp car thats able to go over 250MPH? Again skeptical but seeing as how you guys made me fans of cars I wouldn't think twice about I decided to give it a shot.

This thing truly is a rose. Its beautiful on the outside but as well all know every beautiful rose has it thorns. The thorns on this car may as well been sword blades because this car just cuts down everything in its path. Ive snuck up on supra's, TVR's, Hell I nearly even caught a X1 of all things (Top speed: 308mph) using a draft from him. The poor guy in the x1 was so shocked he tried to leave me in the shadows but this car hung right on his tail. Everyone wonders how a car with only 718 can completely destroy their fully tuned "wangan monsters". This is one car that legitimacy scares me more then anything else. Even my RUF Yellowbird with 736HP doesnt scare me this bad. This isnt a midnight rose. Its a midnight devil.
