I have always had sim steering on so I guess I am just use to it. I found this great video by Raceboy77 where he demonstrates the difference between sim and normal steering:

Hi James,
been playing Simulation steering since 2 days now & the difference is massive, could be its different since an update, now you can feel more detail ffb with simulation steering, i had to back down my ffb after using it 🙂
now only waiting for the Porsche expansion for Forza 6 😉

Cheers.

I use simulation steering, but in all honesty I am not sure I can truly tell the difference 🙂

Cheers..

I suppose the understeer is a bit heavy, but for me it s how I got used to racing. I feel like I have so much more control of the cars.

I hope DiRT rally is gonna be great also, I found that WRC 5 was a bit flat graphically and the driving physics were chaotic. Never know what we are gonna get so far every racing game that has come out has had a handful of issues.

Hmm, strange wonder why madcatz removed the wheel DOR hard lock with the firmware update, the FFB has improved a lot after the update so i find it a good trade off now, with 270 for don’t you suffer from understeer with forza6? with 270 for i can only year tyres screaming in forza 6 :-p I m not even bothered for f1 2016 now, the only games that have got my interest is Asseto Corsa & Dirt Rally, hope they deliver on the console like their pc cousins, I gave WRC 5 demo a go since it supports wheels now, was utter crap such a disappointment hope Dirt Rally doesn’t screw up on consoles.

For the TX wheel there is an option to set the DOR on the base with a MODE button. Typically I set the DOR to 900 on the wheelbase and then change the game settings to reduce it to 270. Eith way The TX always has a hard lock when you push it the threshold DOR.

For F1 2016, you are smart to wait. Actually with the exception of the Forza titles most racing games have struggled a bit on the consoles when they first release. I am not sure why but it feels like there must not be lot of user acceptance testing going on…I can’t believe these manufacturers release these games with so many bugs/glitches.

Yeah even i prefer the low DOR, wanted to know when you set the DOR for your TX wheel from the base unit on the base itself does it hard lock or soft lock it? Since the madcatz use to hard lock it before the firmware update, want to know what thrustmaster does for its TX wheel. Regarding F! 2016 i m not bothered as i won’t preorder the game like i did for F1 2015, as 2015 was super buggy at the initial start, so will give it few months after release to get it 😉

I was thinking the same thing im wondering if the hard lock was restricting the power in some way. As far as my DOR I usually keep it short 270ish, but it really depends on the game or my objective. In FM6 when I am going for fast laps I keep a low DOR, but if Im trying to drift I usually raise it up between 540 and 900.

Agree with you about the pedals and actually thanks for sending the link, now other Mad Catz owners can see it here as a good reference.

BTW: Since you seem to be a big F1 2015 racer, I just read this article about plans for F1 2016. The article is from Nov so perhaps you are aware already, but figured id share just in case. I havent heard much about F1 2016 other than that.
