Could you tweak it so the counter-steering is "less intrusive" and faster/more accurate? I like the assist, but I feel my corners come out a bit too "overcorrected" and not smooth, but then again maybe that's the point of the assist, idk...
Works really great. You can now take all forms of corner with full confidence using this script. The fact that it always find the accurate steering limit to utilize the steered wheels' peak grip means you'll almost never unintentionally understeer from the player's input when using this mod.

My only problem with this script is that the countersteer force/assist works a bit *too* well. Usually when you take a corner with full throttle you'll still feel the (RWD) car slowly oversteering even when the steering is at peak angle for gripping. These almost never happen with this mod. The countersteer force override your input too much that it removes most of the risks of *intentionally* losing control. I wish this mod can be configured like BeamNG.Drive's Arcade Steering mod where you can configure how strong the countersteer affect your input.

Another thing, going in reverse completely breaks the steering and would not want to straighten out.

For general grip-racing (which is what I do most of the time with this game), it's really good and that's all that matters.

Totally agree with you there with the correction, which is unfortunately a side effect of the mod. Odd one with the reverse though...
I love it, finally Assetto Corsa w/ Xbox gamepad doesn't feel so lacking! But I do want the steering returnability (returning to center) more smooth. Currently it feels very snappy, which isn't so comforting when driving passenger cars like M3 or Skyline GT-R.

That's something I'm working on, I'd love the same thing. I can achieve it, but the response rate of the LUA correcting slides slows down too. I can't seem to separate the values.

Maybe I should release two versions, a more relaxed version perhaps?
Its a great mod, probably the best that helps us controller players be able to play this game properly, although I do struggle with taking high speed corners like copse at silverstone, my setup is generally oversteer-y but when I turn in for the corner the wheel barely turns and understandably so because doing it without consoleFX makes the rear end super loose, this works for a lot of fast corners like maggots & becketts, campsa and pouon. I use the recommended settings listed but I tend to get annoyed by the wheel practically being still when I'm at the point of ripping the thumb grip of the joystick. Great mod all around however
Amazing addon. I usually struggled to race with a controller and always was way behind the Ai pace.
With the formula hybrid X Evo around spa: my lap time was 2:05, After trying your addon. I got a 1:57. It makes racing with a gamepad much much easier. I strongly recommend this!

Wow! That's amazing!
5 star for your effort, the grip and stability is quite good especially compared to my setup, but for some reason most of the cars understeer like crazy hindering other wise good experience.

Hopefully that was fixed a while ago! How are you finding it?
The most versatile gamepad FX out there, with a tiny bit of tweaking you can go from drifting to grip, to traffic racing and best any discipline you like.
This was a game changer for me as it pretty much resurrected AC. Finally as a sole gamepad user I can enjoy AC as it should have been since when I bought the damn thing 8 years ago.

My only critic is about the overcorrection. As mentioned before, I can abuse RWD cars a lot and only have severe understeer as punishment. It brought me too much confidence as the car would now never spin out because of oversteer. It felt almost as cheating in some races. On the other hand though, I can raise the bar with the AI and have some pretty competitive races making it a lot of fun.

All in all, this made the game playable and a whole lot more enjoyable for me. I hope you can keep improving it further.

Cheers and thanks for this masterpiece for us gamepad users
Funciona muy bién , muchas gracias amigo!!

You're welcome dude!

Love it! Makes racing much easier, and more realistic, on controller.
A great mod for AC despite being a sim.
I think the opposite lock assist a bit too strong. I'd like to be able to play with the throttle a bit more and sustain my slides. That is proving difficult for me.
This changes the game. Keep at it.

I can slacken it, but the correction at high speeds will lower along with it, resulting in a 'fishtailing' effect. I suppose there can be two versions, but then that complicates things. I'll see what I can do though!
Pretty nice for RWD, but plays a little bit worse than "so-so" for AWD cars. Do you have documentation for your script?
Geraint Thomas
Geraint Thomas
I don't sorry. As mentioned, it originated from another's script, which would be the person to get in touch with.
Love what you have done with the script, really great work!
I added the Duelsense script made by x4fab to get the adaptive triggers, it's really fun now with a ps5 controller to drive about.
A very good assist for racing. While the default settings include gamma 100% and wheel limit 180, I have found that using gamma 125% and wheel limit 320 feels more natural and less like a console game. It gives you a better sensation of turning the wheel.
Game changing. This is one of the essential must have mods if you use a gamepad to play this game

Thanks man, appreciate it.
Is it me or I followed all of the steps, but my steering wheel turns left and right so fast even though

It may have been better to have asked for help, rather than rate it 4-star because of an incorrect set up. There's nothing wrong with the script. Let me know and I'll give you a hand installing.
why does the ingame wheel turn so fast? its almost impossible to drive i drift so quickly either way its good so heres 5 stars.

That's odd, it shouldn't be the case at all...
This helped my friend be able to play with me, thanks! I have yet to try it myself, but he says it feels much better than stock settings.

One problem we ran into was not seeing Gamepad FX. Your solution says to update Content Manager, but we found that we had to also update CSP for the setting to show. It would be helpful to add that in the solution.

Thanks and great work!

Oh interesting! I'll add it as soon as I get chance :)
hello, fantastic mod, however is it possible to edit the deadzone? its too much for me
Very good!

In first person the "fishtailing" is not so noticeable.
But in third person it is very noticeable, regardless, it made the game much simpler for me, 5 stars!

Hopefully it's better in the latest version!
