Calibrating the controller is necessary if you want to achieve the highest performance. The game features better traction and a novel Precision Drive Technology, making it easier for players who use controllers to drive the car.

If you find difficulty in any of these aspects, be it traction, braking, or steering, then make changes to these options:

  • Steering Rate: 100% (If you're still having a tough time, try lowering it down to 90-95%)
  • Steering Deadzone: 0
  • Steering Linearity: 30
  • Steering Saturation: 0
  • Throttle Deadzone: 0
  • Throttle Linearity: 20 (your preference)
  • Throttle Saturation: 0
  • Brake Deadzone: 0
  • Brake Linearity: 30
  • Brake Saturation: 0

Vibration & Force Feedback settings

  • Vibration and Force Feedback: On
  • Vibration and Force Feedback Strength: 70
  • On-Track Effects: 20
  • Rumble Strip Effects: 0
  • Off-Track Effects: 2
  • Pit Stop Effects: 50
  • Wheel Damper: 10
  • Maximum Wheel Rotation (using F1 & F2): 280
  • Maximum Wheel Rotation (using Supercars): 900

Once you've configured the aforementioned settings, achieving parity or even outpacing wheel wielders will be within your reach in short order in F1 24.
