Automatic or manual - using wireless controller...

[Marko3182]

top tips please.
I’m running manual at the moment using the right stick for throttle and brakes. And R2/L2 for gear shifts.
Would the throttle and brake be better using R2/L2??

If so - what would be best to use for gear shifts??

Or is Auto just better??

Shifting with x and square gas and brake with the triggers

What he said.

I use the triggers for gas and brake and then use x & square for shifts. O for handbrake and touch pad for hazard lights

Automatic.

L2 and R2 for gas and brake. X and Square for up- and downshifts.

I'm running manual, using the right stick for gas/throttle and L2/R2 for shifting. Been playing that way since GT5 and feel like I have more nuanced control over the throttle/brakes .

However, regardless of your choice, it's a little hard to make small adjustments in the top half of the throttle since it's extra sensitive, much more sensitive then the bottom half.

Triggers are best for throttle/brakes though as it allows you to use both throttle and gas at the same time (useful for rally or just very rapid switchover). Can’t do that with the stick.

When I use my DualShock, the triggers are for accelerating and braking, X and square are for shifting.

Down to personal preference. I use the triggers for accel and brake and X and Square for gear changes.

Same here. And always on manual. I do play with Fanatec CSL now thou

I find it works best for me to use L2/R2 triggers to brake/accelerate and L1/R1 buttons to shift down/up.

Manual shifting is best.

You can also trail brake using this setup, which can be incredibly helpful
