Use Motion Controls

[jp_footy]

Very tricky to get the hand of but when you do you will be getting much faster lap times!

Give them a try!...

Nah. I don't think it beats wheel times in my case at least.

Yeah, if you have a wheel even better but if your using dualshock motion controls is the way to go.

Steering is so much smoother.

I tried it and it felt weird - I have heard some good things about it though. Maybe I should give it more of a try.

The maplewood tracks are good tracks to practice.

I'm so fast now since changing to these controls:

Motion steering
Right stick up throttle
L2 Brake
Bonnet cam

Give them a try!

I change my opinion. It's better than using the T80 but I can't comment on the T300RS.

 

[Whistle Snap]

Agreed.

Steering is a lot smoother resulting in much better times, I'm over 2secs faster than my analog stick times using my G27 motion control bodge job

👍


I wish somebody would pull their finger and let me use that wheel normally

Have you seen this?:

Might be better than your "bodge job", then again, might not be, your "bodge job" looks pretty awesome!

I would like to request to the Driveclub devs to allow right-stick up for throttle and left-stick up for brake when using motion controls. I think this would work really well.

very interesting setup what is the 2nd picture of though? can't quite understand, also with the controller taped to the wheel how do you brake/accelerate? I should give it a try for fun

I've been using motion controls the last three days (with right stick as throttle, as I was already using, and L2 as brake as suggested) and while it took some hours to get used to, steering input is just amazingly smooth compared to using the thumb stick.

In fact I dare say I'm as smooth now with the DS4 as I am with a wheel (many years of past experience with a G25, plus a few weeks on the PS4 with a Thrustmaster T100 that I haven't been entirely satisfied with and can't be bothered to set up for my gaming sessions anymore).

Obviously for the full driving feel experience nothing beats a good force feedback wheel and pedals, but the motion controls of the DS4 puts you damn close in terms of precision and consistency.

They've also added it to Project Cars recently, but unfortunately vibration feedback is bugged (constant vibration) with motion controls enabled. Rumble effects are never going to be a substitute for proper FFB, but a bit of feedback is a hell of a lot better than none.

I like the motion controls, but I kind of feel like they become very floaty when driving.

same, I tried to use the tilt controls but as much as they definitely are smoother I don't feel very connected to the road when I use them, they also seem to lag a little bit when it comes to quick left-rights

Motion controls are the best way to play Dri

Change right-stick up for the throttle to the square button. Works much better for me. Also, if you use manual try R1 & R2 for gears. Let me know how you get on, cheers.

My fingers and wrists don't like keeping buttons pressed down for extended periods of time these days. I still hate that The Crew has no remappable controls so I'm forced to use R2 for throttle.

Same here, since I changed to square for the throttle I have a much easier time. It requires much less effort.

I'll give it a try. My thumbs are definitely more resistant to continued pressure than my index fingers.

Edit: Tried it, don't think that's going to work for me. I don't like the on/off digital feel of the throttle in some corners and when I'm catching a slide.
I believe all the buttons on the DS4 are technically speaking pressure sensitive? But I don't have enough of a gentle touch to make that work with square, cross etc.

Ah ok, that's a shame. For me personally, reaching/stretching for buttons has a really detrimental effect on my driving. These controls are really comfortable for me until I have a wheel.
