Correction: I now recommend using 'Simulation' steering for both gamepad and wheel users.

[@TaMeRR1]

I found that if i use simulation on pad makes me imposibru to countersteering

[@aurastrike]

sim steering is best in fh5 so I'd see it being similar here

[@seancovell4124]

I use simulation on level 8 but I adjusted the deadzones and this has transformed my ability to get all cars around the track quickly. I will say though this game literally wants you to drift every car around every curve. I don't understand Turn 10s logic here. Making the cars feel outrageously heavy was a FM5 thing, I thought they got past this already.

[@user-mb2hn2vm3y]

I have been playing Forza Motorsport games for a decade now and I never learned how to tune cars, I had been using other people’s tunes. This video was quite helpful. When you have the time, please upload a comprehensive tuning tutorial video. Many thanks.

[@AgeofJP]

I strongly recommend getting into it...I know it's jarring at first but once you're familiar with everything it actually becomes quite fun to instinctively make tunings for each kind of track for each car. Not to mention the tremendous impact it will have on your performance. In F7 many if not most of the community tunings weren't all that great and learning to tune yourself was almost mandatory if you wanted to perform well in cars that weren't in the top meta

[@1MantisPhoenix]

what makes Forza motorsports even better than Horizon 4/5 is the extra information regarding everything available to tune, @@AgeofJP @user-mb2hn2vm3y Read the side panels when you are in doubt, and otherwise :) test everything you think can/will work :) nothing to lose :D

[@eugeneenyaosa6397]

As a newbie to racing games...i cant thank you enough for this awesome breakdown. Great amount of info shared on this quick video. Subbed!!! Thank you man...ill be coming back to your vids often!

[@RellyG100]

When I first started playing boy was I grinding the hell outta every gear when shifting 😂. I wasn’t keeping the clutch engaged long enough through the gear changes and it did take some getting used to. Overall I love the experience, I love how you can feel the difference in your vehicle with every upgrade

[@MirelRC]

Such a quick and complete tutorial. It really helped me to improve some things, even though I have learned how to tweak the cars a bit on FH4 and FH5.

[@teresab7575]

All excellent tips, but I'd like to add as someone else has also commented, simulation steering is definitely the way to go even on controller, it's way more precise, and as long as you're not too aggressive you should be fine, it's vastly improved over Forza Motorsport 5,6,7 and the Horizon games, in fact it's on a par with simulations steering from Motorsport 4 and that was a game changer in that game, unfortunately in order to power shift like you used to be able you'll need to upgrade the clutch to racing and lower the dead zones in the settings, I'd also recommend switching clutch button to LB and using the right stick as a shifter for additional immersion

[@cubicalgee]

I’m playing with controller with simulation stunting and is great I just suck at tuning and my braking timing is awful 😅.

[@Bohn101]

The game looks pretty good. I've been playing Gran Turismo for 25 years. I played Forza and Horizons, though. Without a doubt, the best feature I've seen was turning on the visual track limits! I would love to see where the actual race track is (to avoid penalties). This is the greatest single feature I'd like to see Gran Turismo add.

[@MetalGamer666]

Personally I'd rather risk a few penalties than have some immersion breaking markers along the track.

[@TheSaskiastar]

as a long time GT player, I recommend this one. Great combination of racing sim games and arcade styles. The game can be played like arcade but it has full sim and it is amazingly fun

Don't sleep on the Mustang once you've unlocked A racing transmission and suspension even on stock tires the thing becomes a weapon

[@JoshLasto]

I generally do not like mustangs, mainly for the dbags that drive them. But driven correctly, the Mustang is quite formidable.

[@armatian]

Worst part is brake usage inducing faster times way past trailbraking point. 4 wheel slides should destroy lap times, here all the time you have to dig on it to prevent gran turismo style understeer. Hope they raise the bar in future updates because the races are solid challenge.

[@davide8641]

im been driving today first time, i was used to 7 simulation steering and this feel like gta v, hoping is just controller settings

[@Boosted_C8]

I pick cars based on my real life experiences with track days/club racing. Really is scary how realistic these games have gotten. I use this game on a wheel to learn different tracks for real life if they are on there. I’ll try some of these settings and see how much I can improve on the game.

[@blacknighted]

Another tip too is the rear spoiler just makes cars handle wayyyyy better

I am so glad to hear about the transmission, I have a whole wheel and shifter sim and was so confused why my car just wouldnt shift as fast as I was, definitely upgrading the transmission soon

I think the weight transfer in this game is actually pretty spot on in my experience. It also has some of the best collision physics besides BeamNG of course.

[@BSEUNHIR]

A lot of people have been ragging about the new game for reasons that really amount to not being a theme park like Horizon. I welcome these changes, because I want this game to really be about RACING. Honing racecraft. Optimizing tunes. And seeing a video like this come out and show that the game really is all about that makes me incredibly excited. Still have a few days to wait because I don't see much value in the premium edition though. Very excited! Also hope ForzaTune becomes as useful as it was for past games. After a certain point in upgrades that massively shift the weight distribution etc, the stock setup often becomes a liability and having a tool to calculate a new neutral setup to start tuning from can be very useful.

[@lucky13sj]

The problem with you wanting this game to be more about racing is the fact that this is a motorsports game. So it is car focused Motorsports. It is not a racing simulator. Motorsports is always been about motorsports and the motorsports community. This includes drag racing drifting that kind of fun stuff it always had fun game modes to be able to play when racing got boring because eventually going around a track over and over and over again gets fucking boring. There is a reason that 567 and I guarantee this one have all been regarded as worse than Motorsports 4 and 2. Do you know what the difference between those are. 4 and 2 focused on the community focused on all the different aspects of motorsports and made it all good made it all playable in all fun. It wasn't strictly race race race race race race race race race because not everyone likes that shit. And those of us who've been playing since Motorsports won and were at the top of the charts in every aspect like myself don't want race race race race race. Because we don't need to pad our ego because we already know we can be that good. We wanted to do fun shit because guess what we already completed the challenge of being the best in the lobbies of those games we don't care about that anymore. And horizon physics are not good enough compared to motorsports physics for me to feel like I'm actually driving the car in the car is not driving itself. Plus I just like drifting on tracks more than I do street drifting most of the time. I enjoy track drifting. And I don't want to have to wait for some janky kids build to be able to do track drifting in horizon. I don't like horizon more than Motorsports I don't like the setup of herizon more than MotorSports. I enjoy the motorsports games and this overabundance on focusing on race is ridiculous and alienates the majority of the community at least 60% to 70% of the community is not purely focused on racing

[@e2rqey]

The number 1 complaint I've seen is about the extremely repetitive progression system for singleplayer.

​@@lucky13sjhuh? Forza motorsport is literally a racing sim game. What are you talking about? Are you confusing this with horizon?

[@lucky13sj]

@@deelowe3 no it is a sim arcade game. And it's always been about the motorsports community not just racing if you pull your head out of your ass you could get enough oxygen and to figure that one out
