During a race, select Preferences → Assists from the in-game Pause menu.īy default, the accelerate and brake commands are mapped to the “trigger” buttons on the top of the gamepad.
Before starting a race, select Preferences → Assists from the Session Setup screen. You can adjust the Braking Assist either before or during a race: Because of this, we recommend setting the Braking Assist to Medium or High, which helps you by applying automatic braking as you approach corners. You can play the game using a keyboard, but you may find it difficult to control your car's speed. This means that you cannot vary the level of pressure in order to vary the rate of acceleration or braking. However, you may want to adjust your settings to provide a better racing experience: It's possible to play F1™ 2016 using a keyboard or a gamepad without analog triggers. The game responds to analog inputs according to level of pressure you put on them, making them similar to car accelerator and brake pedals.
This is because the game provides the most realistic driving experience if the accelerate and brake commands are mapped to analog inputs on your wheel or gamepad. For the best racing experience, we recommend that you play F1™ 2016 with a steering wheel or a gamepad with analog triggers.
