is there a chance to stop the sliping in many curves ?
it´s frustrating that the car so easy brake out.

Oh yes, and here is my new settings after tweaking. I know play with no TC on.
Steering Deadzone: 11%
Steering Saturation: 0%
Steering Linearity: 84%
Throttle Deadzone: 13%
Throttle Saturation: 8%
Brake Deadzone: 12%
Brake Saturation: 2%

well that seems really interesting settings here will give it a try

I changed steering inearity from 81% to 36%. It makes the turning a lot less sudden.
I realy like the sharper throttle response in f12013. It makes the car much more alive.

I use Gavin's set up from the last post on page one, any ideas why sometimes my car pulls to the left by its self? Using a 360 controller.

thats either your set up, (car setup) or your game pad itself! I've got a problem with one of my old 360 pads on the xbox 360 where in shooters, strafing to the left would happen, also effected corners etc on fifa sometimes

so it's one of the two!

it's the pad i think the sticks have slightly a bad way to get centert

Goatherder · Oct 23, 2013

No worries, thank you both for your input, i'll go back to using the standard xbox 360 setup, the steering and throttle are extremely sensitive again but at least i know ill always be going forwards

Jonathan Blackmore · Oct 24, 2013

ah i meant that your left stick on the pad, may actually be a bit dodgy, or build up of dust on the inside which sticks ever so slightly to sometimes cause the car to steer left!

hope that's not the case obviously!

Hm, I never changed anything. I didn't think "wheel" settings would affect a gamepad, I just put it in and play like it's set (after all I never adjusted anything at the XB 360 either).

use right stick for throttle/brake, works good for me

I'm happy the times were RS was throttle/brake are long over. You can't throttle and brake at the same time this way which feels more than wrong to me.

A lot of testing for tomorrow

Befaro · Oct 27, 2013

Steering Deadzone: 0%
Steering Saturation: 0%
Steering Linearity: 0%
Throttle Deadzone: 0%
Throttle Saturation: 0%
Brake Deadzone: 0%

Works fine for me. No Adds.

İ have f510 and my car is sliding every turn . What i can do? gamepads have throttle adjustment this year? i cant control my car when i press throttle

I use a 360 gamepad but I can only change the force feedback options. Only 2 options to change. How can I change the advanced settings? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Nevermind found, You have to put your throttle and brake on the Right stick.

SCR · Nov 7, 2013

You don't have to put your brake on the right stick, you just need to have it set to "custom" instead of XBOX Controller, which the game did for you when you changed a button/stick mapping.

Thank you SCR. Did not like to race with the right thumbstick because it's near impossible to reach the a x y b buttons and I had to remap everything.

These settings improved my time by nearly a second in a few tries on time trial. The car fells a lot more responsive now. Thanks.

For F1 2012 I used:

Steering Deadzone: 9%
Steering Saturation: 0%
Steering Linearity: 100%
Throttle Deadzone: 15%
Throttle Saturation: 9%
Brake Deadzone: 15%
Brake Saturation: 4%

But for 2013, I now use the below but I am still tweaking it:

Steering Deadzone: 11%
Steering Saturation: 0%
Steering Linearity: 88%
Throttle Deadzone: 13%
Throttle Saturation: 8%
Brake Deadzone: 14%
Brake Saturation: 2%

Thanks for posting these. I just switched from keyboard to 360-gamepad for PC last week and, although it took me a while to feel comfortable using it, your settings sure did help me a lot. I just remapped the A button for Kers (using my right-hand thumb), the Y button for Gear Up, and LB for DRS. TC on medium and Brake Assist to Lowest (for now).
