PC or PS5? I got the ps5 one and ot just seemed like so many settings I had no idea what was optimum.
Ps5 mate. Update to 1.7 made in next gen (60fps) along with other improvements.
Yeah I've spent a fair bit of a time googling around about various settings and arrived at conclusion you really only need to turn off stability mgmt and leave abs/tcs factory default, so they behave like tge car irl... they all have their own abs, tcs settings. Some have 2 tcs settings - for when it kicks in and how strong it is once it does. Cars behave fine, close to real life out the box and what I gleaned is you don't need to worry about tuning until you're much further down tge line and trying to shave off last few tenths. Spending time learning how to push the cars, learning intricacies of each circuit is apparently all you need to worry about for a while. Ah, tyre pressure/temp is tge other one to think about... but info is out there, so nothing major
Other thing is fov, and display settings. There are calcs out there that tell you how to set them, but again, many others say it's personal preference at end of day. Loving the dashboard cam, with no arms, driver visible.
Graphics aren't quite on level as gt7, but more than good enough tbh.
You can set ai driver rating and aggressiveness from 0-100. I struggled on 90 but won comfortably on 80, so will next try 85 and ammend as I progress. Does feel like you're in a race, when on 90, the ai cars, constantly probing at you, really is another a level or so compared to gt7.
I changed tge gain on the wheel to 70, as was although incredible on 100 and certainly doable, really was an excursion physically and can feel your wrists getting a proper workout as you press on. I lift weights at reasonable level too, so God knows how untrained, weaker blokes get on with it! Guess it's realistic though as no doubt racing is hard work irl!
