The Perfect Guide: Assetto Corsa on Controller in 2023

[@ItsBlester]

I made a *discord Server* for Gamepad Players - dsc.gg/gamepadracing

[@sayi577]

How can I access the controller shortcut in the game I don't have it

[@andrebrk1932]

Simply amazing man, from the beginning I found it very difficult as the control was by default, but I never went deep with changing the bars, I just went directly to the scripts that "solved" my problem, going back and following your tips, of course it's very slow but my time was around 2:09 at Silverstone with a GT3, after following the tips, my time each lap was dropping until I reached 2:02... amazing, thank you very much.

[@ItsBlester]

Glad it helped!

[@Chakotay2222]

CSP developer should focust on improving controler settings sence some of us just like to push our steering wheel aside sometimes and just drive for fun and chill. It feels like wheel rotation is too big. In ea f1 games all I have to do is turn down wheel rotation for controler to 240-250 and driving becomes perfect. I easy get to top 20% in time trials if put some effort into it.

[@ItsBlester]

It would be nice to configure trigger sensitivity and deadzones too. Would help a lot of people with worse controllers to get on well with assetto corsa.

[@yokai8896]

The CSP developer (x4fab) already added gamepadFX for this purpose, there's a bunch of different mods you can try.

[@StimulationSimulated]

You can do this with lua scripting... But at end of day game was never designed for controller.. Wheel is the best way to enjoy it...however not all can use a wheel... I think the csp controller scripts help too.. There's about 4 to choice from 👍

[@user-cm6vj9fv5v]

Hands down the best gamepad guide! I finally understand the settings and have managed to find the sweet spot for my pad. Thank you so much!!! BTW: I got FH4, Motorfest and other racers sitting on my drive but I just can't get enough of AC. Testing out different car and track mods is way too much fun :D

[@ItsBlester]

Happy to hear that man

[@sebastianhaas5863]

Thank you so much! With your advice and explanation, it turned AC from an uncontrollable mess into a great experience, where finally all the mistakes feel like mine and not the controllers erratic behaviour XD

[@yokai8896]

- You shouldn't be using any visible steering wheel limit, it's going to hide your actual input and deceive you into how jarring your steering actually is, not to mention just being inaccurate in general. - Speed sensitivity simply reduces stick input with vehicle speed, so it's dependent on the car you're driving and makes thumbstick movement inconsistent - Filter is a smoothing effect, however until about 90% it just feels like it's slowing the steering and doesn't do much smoothing. It has nothing to do with speed sensitivity In my vanilla writeup I recommend using Speed 80% / Filter 97% / Gamma 400% / Sensitivity 40% You'll have to adjust it for different cars and preference, but it's a great starting point. You don't need to stick roll with this and your steering will be fairly smooth even without steering wheel limiting. I find stick rolling uncomfortable and it makes it hard to quickly counter steer which is critical for vanilla since there's no FFB or gyroscopic assist.

[@sxuce840]

Tried your settings and they actually nice u got any other for controller?

[@yokai8896]

@@sxuce840 Cool man, glad it helped you. Do I have any other settings? Vanilla controls are pretty limited, that's about all there is to it.

[@ItsBlester]

There's no right or wrong when it comes to steering wheel limit, it depends on your craft (how well you understand your car) and your controller. It's really personal preference. With the settings I showcased, I'm on the pace with wheel players in leagues etc and faster than a good sum.

[@supawonk]

thanks so much for this, i put these settings into AC on xbox and the difference is night and day

[@radlyplanas2022]

YOO we got the same desktop backbround bro, hahaha thats pretty cool.

[@electricfootballhero1349]

If you're going to run out and buy an expensive controller, then you might as well run out and buy a wheel and pedals instead.

[@johannesomland9962]

Yeah a nice controller costs ass much as a brand new g29

[@rnnlenses]

Very helpful, many thanks!

[@jLt44]

nice informative video, thanks mate

[@filipmikulski6056]

You helped me so much

[@ItsBlester]

Glad I could help!

[@radspiderjackson]

yea some dude told me the a7 assist would help the driving feel more like a sim wheel, and even the description of the mod would lead you to believe its exactly what we need for gamepads, but that shits wild af, and from what i can tell from the vids of people using it for drifting, it does all the countersteering for you, you just hold the stick into the direction of the corner

[@ItsBlester]

Ye, use it for drifting but you could also drift without gamepad fx, though it would require a lot more skill to master and time that I don't have. For racing, no gamepad fx will help you.

[@ireallyreallyreallylikethisimg]

It should come out of the box with most of these settings

[@WadeLee2001]

I think there's something wrong with your PS5 controller's trigger. I'm on the gamepad testing website right now and I'm having no trouble at all hitting .90 by releasing slightly, or any other number with mine. Yours also doesn't reset to 0. I'm pretty confident in saying that your controller's trigger is messed up. I'm doing this with an almost brand new controller.

[@ItsBlester]

Not entirely sure but I've had others speak to me about the same issue. They might have delivered to me a poor controller but when I had it, it did not seem faulty.

[@TeamSenke]

I can't drive without gamepad script. Without gamepad force my wheel turns all the way and I hate it

[@HelderGuerra-eh4oc]

I have very difficult to use no abs because I cant felling any rumble effect with the block of the tyres

[@humanplace1962]

why is his Assetto Corsa updated? Do I have the old vesion? my game logo is also odler then his. My Assetto Corsa also look older

[@dvascocampeao]

I'm using your gamepad settings and I feel that the steering of the cars has improved, but there are many cars that still have to take turns that are fast with a long radius, the steering doesn't turn around the entire curve and it seems to lock up and I have to slow down a lot. times and I waste a lot of time, how do I fix this in the car?

[@ItsBlester]

There are some tracks where you're required to slide your steering sens down to 60 - 65. It might help but wears your tyres out quicker as a result. But also what cars are you talking about because I don't seem to have this issue, other than for monaco.

[@dvascocampeao]

the vibration of the gamepad is compromised, the direction is good but the forcefebak almost doesn't have it, except when it passes over a zebra!

[@justdev8965]

You over shot Monaco's hairpin.

[@NOXAIDS]

great video. Agreed with everything you said. Will join your discord.

[@waterjavaep]

i keep spinning and i cant control the car i didnt understand

[@ChopperMXgaming]

How to set Controller Tweaks appears in side bar menu?

[@trippen5017]

What car are u using as well as what are the apps on screen like the hud and tires apps

[@vr861]

Hi, what kind of interface do you use to make changes to controller settings during a session? How do you install it? It's that menu you tweak at 16:03.

[@ItsBlester]

if you have csp 1.79 and up I believe, it should be there, just scroll down or type Controller Tweaks and you should be able to find it

[@alandunaway3000]

Is it the Competizione edition or only a UI mod?

[@SirJxPumpknhead]

Try pick the fanatec controller its really good.

[@ItsBlester]

im happy with what i have, have had it for a year now perhaps im faster than quite a few fanatec peeps

[@realfan91]

how do you bring up the controller tweaks at 10:08?

[@ItsBlester]

its there in the taskbar

[@thattoomas1217]

What's the app to tuner controls mid-game? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

[@itzsnookerplayz3631]

I play with an xbox controller is that good?

[@user-mfsc-2024]

how do you hold the steering left joystick ? i heard some gamepad users push the joystick all upwar to left/right

[@cristianoambrogioni1641]

Exactly! You have to keep the left stick up during the entire course of driving maneuver. You'll have an incredible precision! Think like the stick is a 1:1 wheel!

[@c.mirashi]

Me with a Monect PC controller: 😥🤕

[@apelsonodd6311]

what is the hud u use for play? like the leadeboard and all that stuff, what is the mod called please

[@danieleorazi5793]

Thank you for the video! Is it possible to set the right stick for turning head and looking back?

[@ItsBlester]

Yes its in your csp neck fx settings. For the looking back you have to bind that in the controls settings tab.

[@lonewolf-yu9ic]

What do think of using the right analog stick for throttle/brake is it good?

[@ItsBlester]

It's not good, you can't be accurate with your inputs, as well as making minor adjustments, it'll be little to impossible. For games that require precise throttle inputs, you'll be at a huge disadvantage, I don't recommend it at all.

[@lonewolf-yu9ic]

@@ItsBlester oh ok thanks

[@javviii]

would you say that razer is comparable to the xbox controller?

[@SirBala]

great vid ....how do you use right thumb stick to look around i carnt find it anywhere please help ..many thanks

thanks dude@@burneraccounthandle

[@debbieshepherd395]

I only have Xbox no computer to do the input stuff

[@dvascocampeao]

regarding the vibration of the control, how do I increase the intensity of vibration on the track ?

[@ItsBlester]

I don't think you can, I just keep the rumble setting high, and I don't worry about it.

[@limother3749]

Did u turn TAC on?

[@B3rx_]

How do you have that menu for accessing quickly to the controller settings? im a M+K guy with a steering wheel, but when i want to lay down and chill i want to be able to play decently

[@dvascocampeao]

there are some cars that when I accelerate in curves that are fast speed he loses control passing the gears, the car seems to come out of the rear or front. why does this happen?

[@ItsBlester]

Don't really know if I understood the question. But if you're talking about cars losing stability when up or downshifting, that is the nature of the car. They behave as such in real life as well, its something you have to adapt to and be more cautious of.

[@dvascocampeao]

@@ItsBlester that's exactly what you understood, there's no way to fix it by messing with the car's mechanics?

[@TravisHi_YT]

The wheels probably spin faster and loose traction at higher RPMs, you have to be smooth with your inputs. This isn't really a controller issue and more of a fundamental understanding of racing mechanics.

[@acethemain7776]

@@dvascocampeao when downshifting in a manual, before letting out the cluctch, stab the throttle to 70% and then let out the clutch.
