Bit of a silly question but anyone know if you can put the flaps down with a controller? Dont wanna waste money on a wheel just to do such a thing!

I think nitro is bound to R1. If memory serves me right, one of the other VGT's (Nissan maybe...) uses the same button for KERS.

Wait what? Nitro? KERS? This is a thing in GTS?

Theres a button for wheels and on youtube there are some new top speed vids with flaps down so it can still be done i just wanted to know if i can do with controller
If theres no way with a controller then I hope they add it in sometime otherwise ill just get a secondhand T80 wheel

If it's on reddit it must be true.

GT Sport doesn't have Nitro.
Why would there be a button assigned to it?
Sounds weird.
GT6 had Nitro, and the Tomahawk "X" also automatically fully retracted all flaps in GT6.
I don't think they fully retract in Sport.
Are we sure we aren't getting mixed up here?

Well bugger me!
Just checked the button assignment on my g29 and "nitro" is indeed mapped to the R3 button.
I learned something today
Edit: to clear up any confusion, "nitro" seems to be the name PD are using as a catch all for any sort of speed boosting feature and most likely covers KERS as well as DRS.
It also is reported that there is no opton anywhere to assign this button on a DS4.

Yeh, just did a bit of checking myself too.
Found some old videos showing Nitro assigned to buttons.
I can't find a wheel in-game that has it assigned any more though, and I certainly haven't altered any of those button assignments.
I don't have a fully supported wheel though, so maybe that makes a difference?
I also found what looks like an X with fully retracted flaps going around BMB.

You probably saw the GT6 gameplay.

Tested and confirmed.
Just now I was able to drop the flaps at SSRX and get another whole 4kmh top end out of the Hawk.
Now ima go play with the Merc F1 and see if its got anything.
Seeing as not even the DS4 supports it i'm guessing that might be what it is.

Cool. 👍
Yeh, I've tried everything possible, besides getting out my old G29.
Nothing's worked for me.
But I just found what I was looking for.
Evidence of it working in 1.32
Tomahawk X on Route X, no flaps.

The Tomahawk X used pressurized air to improve the airflow around the car when you pressed the nitro button in GT6. I don't remember if the nitro button also retracted the flaps?

Tested that and it's correct.
I couldn't get any control with the F1 Merc or the LaFerrari kers though.

It’s old (nearly 5 years) but still going strong. I have buttons I don’t use that could be mapped.I guess those old, creaky T500's have a button deficiency compared to newer wheels.

Hmmm, I wonder if this works with the LMP1-H cars...

Getting a bit of FOMO here. It's literally only 4km/h in non competitive circumstances but I won't be happy until GTS has the button mappable on DS4. More of a mystery is why they don't let players choose between manual and automatic operation of KERS etc. Hoping this comes in a future update.

It's mapped to R1 on the pad already.

I doubt they'll ever give the option of manual KERS though, too sim like for GT.

So I can put the flaps down on the Tomahawk? Will go and check.
And GT had Nitro in the past, which I thought was to arcadey for GT but shows they have allowed manual operation of boost. I don't think it would make it too sim like.

This is news for me. Previously GTS doesn't allow you to retract the wings manually.
Just for those who are confused, in GT6 there was a "Nitro" button which is a catch all term for any speed boosting feature a car has. Nissan VGT has KERS, Tomahawk allows you to retract flaps and use pressurized air to improve airflow, and the various LMP1 hybrids allows you to use up your battery power quicker than the standard deployment. Of course, in road cars equipped with nitro it's used to engage NOS.

Toyota TS030 is the obvious one. The Nissan GT-R LM Nismo might also have one but my memory is a but fuzzy on that one.
