Please help

Recommended Posts

Does anybody know why on earth I can only go at below 190 mph, while all the videos I've seen on YouTube has other users going at more than 200 mph. And don't try to suggest changing my setup or engine mix, because it doesn't work. Anybody who has any idea what I can do how to solve this, please help because I am pulling my hair with frustration.

I was driving the Mercedes at Baku and was already hitting the limit at 189. I don't know what else to do. Everyone else seems to be going faster than I am.

You were hitting the limiter at 189mph in 8th in a Mercedes? What wings etc? Any assists? 

Speeds are reduced this year which people seem to forget with the fatter tyres and increased aero causing more drag. 
One guy had an Xbox Elite with custom mapping for LT/RT triggers for other games...he was going for a shorter throw but it meant only up to maybe 75% power could be attained. 
There was another issue with some PS4 pads not registering 100% throttle.

 Test symptoms in a he advanced wheel settings...

Are using pad or wheel? I use a wheel and noticed the same thing until i realised my pad was actually resting on the brake trigger and overiding my pedals. I now make sure pad is turned off and haven't had this problem since lol was fairly stressful till i realised haha

Which engine mode and how much downforce are you running?
Because I can hit that at Shanghai, in a Renault, in Lean, in the wet.
So a Merc should EASILY top that at Baku...

Have you checked the state of your engine and gearbox wear?

When you drive with the camera option where you can see the brake (red) and power/gas (green) input, does the green one go up al the way?

I've tried all those suggestions and nothing has worked 
I'm trying to remember this issue from memory from a 2 year old game on a console I don't have, so apologies if  I'm not remembering the ways to confirm the issue, check here for an answer!

Have you gone into the Calibration tab (in the Edit Controller Settings page), and checked that when you fully push the accelerator, it's registering 100%?
