Having the best F1 25 controller settings can be the difference between landing that overtake and losing control of your vehicle. In this guide, you'll find a full breakdown of what I believe are the optimal controller settings for you to enjoy the game.
It's no secret to anyone that the F1 franchise aims to be a very immersive recreation of Formula 1. As such, there are plenty of options at your disposal to fine-tune your experience.
Let's not dilly-dally any further. Here are the best F1 25 controller settings.
What Are The Best F1 25 Controller Settings?
Below you'll find my recommended settings to properly enjoy F1 25. There's a lot to chew on, starting with assist settings, calibration, vibration, and force feedback.
What Are The Best F1 25 Assists Settings?
If you're an expert F1 player, then you shouldn't have an issue navigating the assists menu. However, if you're a newcomer, this section will allow you to tinker with your experience according to your skill level.
As a general tip, we recommend you set the Driving Proficiency to Amateur and then move to other options as you feel comfortable with F1 25. In any case, this is what I recommend if you're going for a custom experience:
- Driving Proficiency: Custom
- Steering Assist: Off
- Braking Assist: Off
- Anti-Lock Brakes: On
- Traction Control: Medium
- Dynamic Racing Line: Full
- Dynamic Racing Line Type: 3D
- Colorblind Mode (Dynamic Racing Line): Off
- Hi-Vis Racing Line: Off
- Gearbox: Automatic
- Pit Assist: Off
- Pit Release Assist: Off
- ERS Assist: Off
- DRS Assist: Off
Of course, do keep in mind this is all up to your preference. If you want a more authentic driving experience, for instance, you should disable Anti-Lock Brakes (this technology is banned in Formula 1). You can also enable Braking Assist on Low if you don't feel enough in control to try and steer without any help.
What Are The Best F1 25 Calibration Settings?
The F1 25 calibration settings we've picked are made with a regular controller in mind. If you're a veteran, you might have a steering wheel that will require a specific set of calibrations.
In any case, this is what I recommend:
- Steering Rate: 115%
- Steering Deadzone: 0
- Steering Linearity: 20
- Steering Saturation: 0
- Throttle Deadzone: 0
- Throttle Linearity: 0
- Throttle Saturation: 30
- Brake Deadzone: 0
- Brake Linearity: 0
- Brake Saturation: 20
Upping the steering rate and the saturation of both the throttle and brake will help you preserve your stick and triggers better.The saturation is particularly helpful as you won't feel the need to heavily press down on the triggers when accelerating or using the brakes.
What Are The Best F1 25 Vibration & Force Feedback Settings?
Having good vibration and force feedback settings will help you identify when your vehicle is having issues during a race. These settings are not a top priority but will definitely enhance your experience.
- Vibration & Force Feedback: On
- Vibration & Force Feedback Strength: 130
- On Track Effects: 40
- Rumble Strip Effects: 50
- Off Track Effects: 50
- Pit Stop Effects: 50
- Wheel Damper: 50
- Maximum Wheel Rotation: 400°
What Are The Best F1 25 Control Scheme Settings?
In all honesty, the default F1 25 control scheme does a wonderful job with the button mapping. You can perhaps mess around with some MFD Shortcuts, but I personally never use any of those.So unless you have a fault button on your controller, stick to what's set as default as it'sbasically perfect.
What Are The Best F1 25 Generic Controller Settings?
Again, the generic controller settings in F1 25 are not that important to tinker with. But if you want to mess around with your adaptive trigger sensibility, feel free to do so.
And that's it. For more guides, check out the best F1 25 Japan GP setup.
