I assume G923 is just a G29 with more buttons?
I guess the jolting when cornering is the clipping?Mostly. The biggest difference is the road buzz thing ("trueforce").
I was about to return the wheel until I tried ffb max torque 1. To me, it's unusable at 2+. I guess you need a stronger motor for 2+ to avoid clipping.
I guess the jolting when cornering is the clipping?
No, the jolting is severe understeering. When the wheel goes from heavy to light in a corner, you're beginning to understeer. You should be able to feel an "edge", where the tyre screeching begins.
But of course, sudden lightness can also mean oversteer.
Clipping is when nothing happens. It's just heavy, with no nuance or variation. A lot of people don't seem to have an idea how real cars behave and feel - they just crank the torque of the wheel and then complain how you need super expensive gear to feel details. That's clipping.
Nicely explained:
Also, if you understeer by turning the wheel too much and then stomp the throttle at the apex so the rear breaks loose, you're most likely spinning since your front wheels are turning too much. If you don't understeer, oversteer after the apex is much easier to save - and you look cool doing it.
So, if your wheel is heavy all the time and you need to use traction control, you're doing it wrong.
I use a G29, but the discussion here about the settings and the clipping are really informative for me. I've had my torque set high since I started... I liked the higher force and found it more natural to drive. But I never knew that this would result in the clipping and a loss of feel... if that is something I've been blind to, I hope it will help me to turn it down. So I set it down to 3 (big difference in force, for sure, but easy enough to adjust to I suppose, especially in this week's two FIA races at Seaside in the RBJr and Tokyo in the Gr4 cars... where light steering inputs are key.)
I had left the settings on default for my Alt account, and definitely noticed the lighter steering load but was able to jump between that and my Torque:8 setting on the main account. But if I've been missing input all this time, I'm glad someone pointed it out.
I've karted a ton, and I've driven a performance car in anger on a closed course plenty, but it's been years. But the whole game experience is a bit removed from that so I never would have known if the feedback was just clipped or that's all there was to utilize.
...maybe I will, but the more I learn the more likely it is that I'll end up with a direct drive Fanatec!Thanks for the input.
Why not try max torque 1 as well, give it a couple of laps and let us know if you can feel the tyres better mid corner? Yeah, it feels stupid light at first, but when accustomed you'll probably appreciate the increased sense of what's going on with the grip.
I couldn't imagine going back to "heavy clipping mode". I might as well just drive with DS4 and motion control - no feel for the road/car. At least the DS4 won't let you understeer heavily.
...maybe I will, but the more I learn the more likely it is that I'll end up with a direct drive Fanatec!
I will say that my shoulders were sore when I drove 500 miles on GT Sport in a day, with the settings as I had them. At least, I will get the benefit of less tired arms with the FF torque reduced to 3 or 1!
Nope: I want to win. If it works better I'm all for it.Yep, I'm myself getting a DD as soon as all the teething problems are gone (probably a couple of years away). Right now, I don't feel like paying a lot of money to then fiddle with settings and troubleshoot issues more than I spend time playing the game.
I forgot to mention that I guess that people are wanting different things with this game. I'm only at it for the competition, so whatever gives me an advantage I'm in. If I want realism and immersion, I'll just hop on my 1000cc real-life motorcycle. So if you're at it for something else than competition, like realism/immersion, forget what I've been talking about - crank the max torque or whatever makes you feel good.
its started making a lot of noise when I turn right now
I have it at 4 torque 8 sensitivity but its started getting louder since yesterdayMy wheel is super quiet, until I skid severely or hit some nasty curbs and it starts rattling. I've used it with low torque settings since new.
I restarted the PS4 and it was fine afterwardsWhat sort of noise? Squeaky, grinding, rattling?
And is your wheel still under warranty?
