    Driving Aids

    Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on not being able to turn off/change driving aids when using a controller.

    Is this something that you want to be able to customise to suit how you drive?

    I've never played a game with assistsand auto trans except Simraceway, where ceratain cars are SO hard to keep them on track... I'm not a little kid, Ubisoft.

    When I crash into a tree or end up in the sea I want it to be because of me, not anyone or anything else. As I always say Options are good!

    As a PC player I will be playing this with a wheel so it doesn't concern me and probably a lot of other PC players but from a console point of view I think it would be good to have the option to customise controller's but only to a point.

    Plenty of people play on the PC with a pad too, even a number use the keyboard if the forums of similar games are anything to go on.

    I've played Forza, Gran Turismo and Project CARS in Simulation mode with a gamepad and could control the car ok (albeit not as good as a wheel), but this in itself is an intrinsically rewarding game element - mastering the handling.

    Back in TDU1 I never played in Hardcore mode to begin with, until I wanted to play online with the guys at TDU-Central, where there was a bit of peer pressure for everyone to use H mode - I'm so glad I took the time to learn it because it alone (beside the multiplayer aspect) is what kept me playing year after year. In such a large world, every corner you approach is a potential drift challenge with a risk of screwing up and looking like a muppet in front of my mates =)

    That said, I predominately plan to play this with the Fanatec CSR Elite on PC. Hope there's TrackIR or Oculus Rift support.

    You know those wheels work on consoles too, well at least they work on Sony consoles. But personally I haven't decided what platform I'm playing. Doesn't matter if it's console or PC, wheel or controller, I want my controls and aids able to customize.

    Yes I know people use a wheel on consoles and that not all people on PC play with a wheel , I was generalising because the PC does not come with a game controller and a console dose therefore more people on consoles would tend to play with the controller.

    Seems utmost necessity as I play and my children play too! Imagine a 4 years old with no assist and manual transmission with clutch... By the way, we'll have full manual transmission with clutch, right?

    I can see their reasoning behind it, but I do think it would be nice to change from their default settings since I'm also a driving game nerd!
