Hi Nick,
I don’t know if you’ve already seen this, but someone else on the list here posted a YouTube video called Forsa driving education for the blind, I haven’t actually watched it myself, but I’ve seen other people here and on the audio games forum say it was really helpful. I’ll post the link to the video below, also really off topic, but I picked up park boss the other day and I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed the game it reminds me of playing theme park world before I lost my sight, so just wanted to say thanks for the hard work you put into making park boss, it’s a great game. anyway back on topic, the link to the Forsa video is below, I’ve just picked up Forsa myself too, I haven’t Started playing the game yet, but will probably give the video a watch myself first too, but really looking forward to giving Forsa a play as its been years since I’ve played one of these games. https://youtu.be/mZfmexZ-sp8?si=eZc1P0xGiZjGK8zS Paul From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Nick and Gemma Adamson Sent: 13 November 2023 23:55 To: [email protected] Subject: [blind-gamers] Forza Driving Advice. Hi All. As some of you may know I’m currently trying out Forza Motorsport and I’m after a bit of driving advice. I’ve been playing around with some of the driver assist settings and what I’m finding is when I’m in control of the steering the car is just all over the track. I’m using an Xbox controller. This evening I’ve done a series of experiments. I drove the same circuit, with the same car and with different driver assist options. If I put steering to full assist, breaking to ABS and throttle to no assist, I could see progress in my ability to control the car. With this set up I’m only concentrating on the acceleration and breaking as I’m letting the assist do all the steering for me. after a few laps there was a noticeable improvement in lap time and reduced crashes. If I switch it round so breaking and throttle are on full assist and steering partial then I’m all over the place. It just feels like my car is all over the road, the race line engine sound is going left and right with what feels like very little logic. I thought maybe I was just making abrupt turns but even when I do it gently the guide is left, then right, and just moving around all over. So, the third experiment I did was to put steering assist to partial, throttle to off and breaks to ABS. I then attempted the same track very slowly, hardily touching the accelerator. I assumed that doing it this way it would be really easy to follow the race line. But even then the race line was all over the place again and I was still crashing into stuff, going off the track and all sorts. I’m guessing I’m doing something wrong, but I can’t figure out what. I guess I could just play with steering assist on full all the time, but that really takes away a lot of the game. Anyone got any ideas of what I can do to try to improve the ability to steer? Thanks. Nick. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
