Can you be fast on rFactor 2 with a controller?
Definitely not, you can be quite fast but how many times the controllers are used even at semi-pro level compared to professional steering wheels.
It is simply that no matter how much you comfort your controller settings you will never get to feel as if you are driving in a car and are turning the steering wheel and pushing the throttle and brake pedals.
And even still, it is quite feasible to be very quick with the controller, but only if you follow a sufficiently long training process and set the right settings.
rFactor 2 controller Basic settings
Now finally, let’s look at the most accurate settings of playing on Xbox One or Xbox 360 controller.
The following are the recommended values for rFactor 2 controller settings that should be utilized by the user:
- Steering rate = 10%
- Speed sensitivity = 74%
- Controller steering sensitivity = 25%
- Controller deadzone = 20%
- Steering Wheel Range = locked to 180°
- Vehicle set range = disabled
- Wheel range (Lock) = 310°
You will wish to operate a very low steering rate and controller dead zone to allow for the most precise control possible with regards to your inputs.
Now this one may be a little higher than what you might be used to but speed sensitivity here actually helps you out in terms of controlling the car at higher speeds.
In this case scenario, the vehicle set range should always be turned off, and the wheel range lock should be at 310°. Changing this value is possible via general settings, and proceeding to, steering.
Conclusion
So, these were the best rFactor 2 settings for Xbox 360 and One controllers in our recommendation.
One more time we emphasize: If you follow the instructions in this the guide they will help you a great deal in your racing endeavors over the rFactor 2 platform.
Also don’t forget that if something doesn’t sit well with you in terms of the configuration, you are always free to take matters into your own hands and change everything you want for the better.
