BEST WHEEL SETTINGS FORZA HORIZON 5 (UPDATED In-depth Guide) 900° Simulation Steering

in this video i'm going to show you guys my new and improved wheel settings that i use in forza horizon 5. with these wheel settings you're going to be able to drift a lot better you're going to drive much smoother the wheels not going to throw you all over the place it's not going to wobble back and forth it's going to be very smooth feel very realistic so let's go and jump into the video and i'll show you guys in detail how to set up your wheel to drive like this my name is nikolai and this is joyshift i like to film and build cool cars in forza horizon 5. if you're new here consider subscribing and hitting the bell icon so you can always be the first one to watch new videos we're going to learn a whole lot about cars we're going to customize them we're going to drive them and just have a lot of fun with them let's go ahead and jump into this video previously on my channel i uploaded a video going over my wheel settings in the game now these wheel settings were excellent they worked very well but these are going to be a little bit better so the difference between those old settings and these new ones is the old settings were a little bit more wobbly you know they had a little bit more force feedback to them but these feel a lot more realistic so there's less wobble but there is still resistance in the wheel which is exactly what we want so if you were to go drive a real car and then you were to go play the game these wheel settings would feel very similar to what your real car feels like and now just for reference my real car is a toyota 86 so it does have a heavier steering wheel but this steering setup is not going to tire your arms out it's not going to make it so the force feedback is fighting you the force feedback is actually going to work with you and that's exactly what you want because you don't want to be fighting the wheel you just want the wheel to work with you so when you're drifting you're grip driving you want the wheel to help guide you through the course you don't actually want the wheel to be fighting you because i know a lot of people mentioned in my previous video that the wheel it just felt a little bit too lightweight but that's not what you want because i noticed a lot of people actually liked how light the wheel felt and if you think about it in terms of a real car if you go drive a car at let's say 60 miles per hour on the highway you will not feel the wheel throwing you back and forth and that's just not realistic in real life if you were to go drive a car at 60 miles per hour that wheel for the most part let's say it's a good car it's got a good alignment on it that wheel is just going to stay put it's not really going to move back and forth you might feel something in the wheel but it's not going to be so much that if you let go of the wheel it's just going to wobble back and forth that's super unrealistic and i don't like that so let's just go ahead and jump into these wheel settings before we actually go into our wheel settings we need to head over into difficulty because in difficulty we are going to change a few settings that are super important and i have mine tuned to these difficulty settings so you need to make sure that at least for the first you know when you're first trying this out you should you should have these difficulty settings set up here because this is going to be what i tuned my wheel settings for so it needs to all balance and match so first of all we're going to actually have our braking set to anti-lock on i like having abs on it just makes it easier and that's really the only assist that i have now for steering i am running simulation if you have it set to normal steering it's gonna feel a little bit more plush the car is actually gonna have basically a gyro where it'll counter correct for you and counter steer so if you want it to be a little bit easier on you you could try normal steering but i am running simulation because this is the most realistic feeling this is most what a real car will feel like and i find that this is giving me the most feedback in the most realistic feedback because keep in mind what i'm going for here is a realistic driving experience now for traction and stability control i have both of those off because i don't like those interfering when i try to drift or just grip drive and then for shifting i am running manual with clutch this is all personal preference you can run automatic regular manual or manual with clutch that has nothing to do with the steering or anything like that it's basically just whatever transmission you like that's basically all the settings you'll need for difficulty the rest you can just adjust for whatever you want that won't have any effect on the actual steering now let's actually go ahead and head over into our steering control so if you go right under controls in the menu into advanced controls you will see you actually have all of your advanced controls for the steering wheel now if you go in here and you don't have the same settings as i do what you probably have set up is your actual controller settings so in order to get out of this you need to access the actual steering controls from your steering wheel and the game will automatically have these controls set up so if you enter it from your controller it's going to have the advanced controls for your controller but if you go in with the steering wheel it'll of course go in and have your steering controls so the very first thing we're going to do is set vibration to off i don't like how this feels all it does especially with the g920 all it does is make it feel like it's just i mean okay well it is vibrating but just feels like it's cheap like it just shakes and it doesn't feel natural it doesn't feel like an actual vibration you'd feel through a real car steering so i just have it set off but if you like it feel free to go ahead and use it invert look i have that off now for steering access dead zone inside and outside i have those set from zero to a hundred because a real car is gonna be zero to a hundred this is gonna give us 900 degrees for a simulation steering wheel feeling this is exactly what we want if we want a realistic feeling now i know a lot of people do tend to like maybe 540 so if you like that go ahead and set it to zero to 60 but i like it as realistic as possible in a realistic car is gonna have zero to 100 which is 900 degrees and that's exactly what we want so steering linearity also i have that set to 50 because a real car is going to be at 50. now for acceleration access dead zone inside outside also zero to 100 that works for the brake as well and then for the clutch because a real pedal goes zero to 100 you have full control because the more actual distance you can travel with the pedal the more control you have so mid corner you know you can actually have more throttle control more input less input exactly what you want just a little bit more fine tuning so when you're actually driving you can have more control over the car this applies to e-brake as well but i don't actually have an e-brake setup so mine is just a button on the wheel but if you do have an e-brake you can play around with that and see what you like most for vibration skill i have it set at 0.5 but i do have vibrations set to off so it doesn't really matter this setting could be literally anything and since it's off it does not matter but if you do decide to have vibration on then go ahead and adjust this to whatever you like and whatever is most comfortable with you now here are the important settings this is what's going to really distinguish the way the wheel feels and this is what it is going to give you those really nice settings so first off force feedback scale i have that set at 0.8 so at 0.8 it's enough that i feel force you know actual force feedback in the wheel but it's not enough that it wobbles it back and forth so if you're driving and let's say you're just driving at i don't know 60 miles per hour and your wheel is wobbling back and forth if you let go of the wheel that means your force feedback is set way too high so i think at point eight it's enough that it doesn't wobble back and forth but you still do feel actual force feedback in the wheel now for center spring scale basically what this is is let's say you're drifting and your wheel is rotating this is actually like the spring rate or the the power you feel that for it to actually center so when it's rotating back you want it to center because a real car if you've ever drifted a real car what happens is the wheels will self-correct the car will automatically want to correct to the center so you want that to happen in the game as well so basically by having at it's set to 1.1 it's gonna mimic what a real car would do if you were to drift it now for wheel damper i have this set all the way up to 1.8 so the reason i have it so high is because our force feedback is down low so what this does is by having the force feed back down lower but the actual wheel damper up at 1.8 which is fairly high you know the max you can get is two what this does is it allows you to have a very stiff tight controllable feeling wheel but it doesn't actually feel like it's wobbling back and forth it feels like you still have control this one is actually all personal preference so if you feel as if the wheel is too lightweight actually turn this up to 1.9 or 2.0 but if you do feel as if the wheel is too heavy you can knock this down a couple notches it's all personal preference this is really where you're gonna do the most of the adjusting so if you try these settings out and this wheel feels too tight or too loose try it out adjust it you know plus or minus one or two maybe even more see what you like most and then go from there because this is gonna be definitely the first reference point because i'm sure these settings aren't gonna work for everyone right i don't think everyone is gonna be able to use these settings and right off the bat very first try they're gonna say oh these are perfect i think it's gonna work for most people but people who really want that fine tuning i say start here because this is gonna be the best place to mess around with and then see what do you like more do you want it stiffer tighter and then just go from there now for the mechanical trail i have this set to 1.0 now this one works really good right in the middle because what the mechanical trail actually does is it sets the aligning torque essentially what the setting does is by having it at a larger value you're going to feel less of the understeer but having it at a lower value you're going to feel more of the understeer so if you feel like you want more understeer lower the value if you feel like you want less understeer raise the value force feedback minimum force i have set to 0.5 now the reason this is at 0.5 which is the very lowest setting you can go is because when you're driving normally and you aren't actually going aggressive with the car you don't want to feel a lot of force feedback you want it to be very smooth and what this allows for you to do is have it set that when you're not driving fast that the wheel isn't going to actually give you a lot of force feedback which is exactly what you want because let's say you're just cruising 30 40 miles per hour in a real car you're not going to feel anything in the wheel for the most part if you're on a smooth flat road and you're just driving in a straight line your wheel should not be fighting you especially at such a low speed because even if you're doing like you know more than that like 60 miles per hour if you're just driving straight you don't want to feel too much but it's when you start cornering that you want to feel understeer you want to feel the tires you want to feel the aligning torque that's when you want to feel it so i think having it set to 0.5 what this does is it allows us to have a nicer range so we can go from the very low setting to what we have which is 0.8 for the actual force feedback scale so this gives us more of a range of how how much force feedback we can feel so if we had both of them set to let's say 0.8 at the exact same value it would always feel the same but this allows it so when we're driving normally we don't feel as much but when we're driving more aggressive we will also feel it because our force feedback is set to 0.8 for force feedback load sensitivity i have that set at 1.2 and then road fuel scale is at 0.5 and off-road fuel scale is at 0.0 now these three settings are probably going to be on the very light side because i think in real life if you took a car off-roading at 100 miles per hour on a really bumpy dirt road you would feel a lot in the steering wheel but this is an arcade game it's forza horizon we're driving off-road in lamborghinis and ferrari so it doesn't need to be fully realistic all the time and this is the one you know part of the setting guide that is going to be definitely more comfortable rather than actually feeling realistic because let's be real if you're taking a ford gt off-roading on a rally course and it's a bone stock for gt you're going to destroy that thing in real life so this kind of doesn't even apply so i have these settings very low because when i go off-road i don't want to feel my wheel throwing me all over the place if you have the set any higher than these settings it's just going to be really uncontrollable so it's really nice for rally driving because the the wheel isn't throwing you all over the place but it is still controllable it doesn't feel much you know i use that kind of relatively because it does still feel different off-road versus on-road of course but it doesn't make it so it's like on-road is controllable but then you go off-road and it's like totally uncontrollable both are still very controllable and this is just kind of what i found to work for me so let me know what you guys think of these settings because everyone's different right some people want a different feeling wheel but these are what work for me these are what i find to enjoy the most when i'm driving and these also match most closely to what i want in a realistic feeling steering wheel minus those off-road feels so i think this is definitely a good setup guide for you guys try it out let me know what do you guys think in the comment section down below if you did enjoy this video and want to see many more just like it i have a few other helpful guides on the channel so definitely do check those out but other than that make sure you like comment and subscribe we'll see you in the next one [Music]
