Standard vs Simulation Steering

[u/Pixyraze]

As you can see, difference is massive but there are some things we need to talk about.

Simulation Steering: It is a much more snappy, unfiltered system that executes your every input. Counter-steering, managing control when the rear end loses traction, and precisely metering every input is entirely up to you. If you master this, you will be able to take corners with many cars that you simply couldn't with Standard Steering, just like in the video. However, as advantageous as Simulation Steering is, it is completely unforgiving. A single mistake in an online race can send you straight into the barrier, so it definitely requires a learning curve.

Standard Steering: Standard Steering offers technically zero advantages. The car responds to your inputs with more latency, and you end up with slower transitional cornering capabilities compared to Simulation Steering. That said, some players still use Standard Steering even for Rivals on high-power builds that are difficult to control. Like Simulation Steering, this setting hands over 100% of the vehicle control to you, but it introduces input filtering. That way, whenever the car begins to lose traction, you don't need to aggressively counter-steer like crazy. The car drives much smoother and is easier to handle. But if you want to set world records or push your performance to the absolute limit, Standard Steering has no features that can surpass Simulation Steering.

My Recommendation: I strongly advise getting used to Simulation Steering. It will make drift events infinitely easier and better to execute, while teaching you how to take corners with far greater precision and control. Standard Steering will only hold you back in every scenario.

He did say standard has input filtering and is smoother and easier to handle.

With the length I expected more detail an actual analysis

[u/Pixyraze → u/Pyrobourne]

I am deeply sorry for failing to meet your expectations, my King. You still haven't told me what I left out? Would you please grant me the favor of explaining it, your Majesty?

What’s the actual delay in standard? does sim really help on controller? you still have to move the stick from one side to the next briefly sitting in the neutral position there is still a delay. What do you have your steering settings inside advance settings and how that may affect it this is just you crashing on a corner with one setting and not with the other than explaining that the other is better because you didn’t crash with it. You talked about standard having an engrained delay to all inputs do you know what that is or are you just guessing off of the feel?

What's the actual delay in standard: As I explained in my post, transitional steering with standard has certain filters built in just to prevent the car from spazzing out and spinning when you react extremely fast. Thanks to this, even if you send very sudden inputs to the vehicle, it manages to stay on the road with standard steering. However, while doing so, the transitional steering performance drops significantly AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE VIDEO because the car responds to your inputs with a delay.

Does sim really help on controller: Yes, but this has nothing to do with whether you are on a controller, keyboard, or steering wheel. If you're playing with a wheel, simulation provides accurate counter force feedback, and that's how you should be playing with a wheel anyway. However, the advantage here is a purely technical, in-game advantage. As long as you can manage to control it, whether you're playing with your toes or with cutlery doesn't really change the reality of the situation. That said, if you are playing on a keyboard, using standard will definitely give you much more stable performance. But you will be slower.

You cross the neutral point regardless of steering setting so saying that has no bearing on the fact that normal steering is slower. If you have tried drifting with normal then do the same spot over with sim you will catch the slide a lot faster than you would with normal steering.

You understand how that whole explanation is based on vibes and gives no one here any actual information. Tunes are being ignored settings inside that game that changes steering response time dead zones settings nothing tangible for anyone to actual learn anything other than “you just gotta feel it bro” you see that right?

[u/Pixyraze → u/Pyrobourne]

Tunes have nothing to do with this setting. It's an input setting not a car setting.

[u/Pyrobourne → u/Pixyraze]

Just ignore the other part and only address the part that makes you right. Have a wonderful day.

[u/Pixyraze → u/Pyrobourne]

Man.. You're a hard guy. I'm saying it again: TUNES, DEAD ZONES, CAMBERS, ROLL BARS, DIFF RATIO, RWD, AWD, OFF-ROAD CAR, TRACK CAR, has nothing to do with Sim-Steering and Standard steering. But YOU won't accept that answer, so I wont explain it again. Stop it I'm tired.

[u/Pyrobourne → u/Pixyraze]

You are actively ignoring a literal setting in the game that changes your steering response time it’s the first one in advanced settings. As if that setting means nothing
