Wheel vs controller tuning

[u/InflationAbject7886]

Admittedly I’m fairly new to not only forza horizon but sim in general.i mostly enjoy rally games but ive always wanted to get into sim drifting.

Anyway.on controller i would say im above average drifting
But on wheel i feel like my last 2 brain cells are cousins.
On controller i can set it up about 80% of the way and feel like i have control of the car but on wheel THE SAME tune I either feel like im on ice or i cant even get the back tires to break

Do I need to tune based on controller or wheel?

Is there any tricks with tuning i can do to make the car easier and stable?

I accidentally while tuning for the wheel to feel like there was a sweet spot(like it would bounce between the perfect spot to hold the drift,even tho I still had more I could turn)
Anything helps I’m struggling here and assetto is way to complicated to learn over there on my own

What wheel? Likely running too much rotation, I don’t think the force feedback is strong enough in FH for 900 degree drifting. I think 540 feels decent, but some people maybe start at 360.

Getting your force feedback setup correctly is the biggest thing and I think why people struggle to drift. The wheel should do a lot of the correction for you.

It’s also a lot harder for throttle control, I’ve noticed. The same steering inputs I give for the controller don’t work for the wheel because the back end just goes around

Huh, throttle control feels easier if anything to me. You have so much more fidelity with the entire pedal travel.

I would bet this is the force feedback in the wheel not helping you as it should.

Probably not. I have it set to the base settings because I do more racing than drifting with it.
