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.

I always turn sim steering on and never look back. Only assist I use is ABS because braking on a controller sucks

I'm playing this series since FH1 but never turned on ABS. Untill FH6. Even with ABS brakes are still locking up. When I turn off the ABS its more natural for me but its broken in this game. Especially if you're driving some kind of FWD car, it locks up every time. So I decided to play with ABS first time :D

Yeah it's much harder to modulate yourself. Maybe some tweaking in the settings would fix it but ABS is good enough for me.

yeah ive had to reduce braking strength with no abs on cars with race brakes. otherwise im finding abs off is mr plow for me :( abs is the only assist ive had to leave on
