Rider Inflections

A short clip, playing without L/R assist & F/B assist. Shows you how personal each rider may look from one person to the next.

I only ever use manual rider. Feels weird if a sim doesn't have it. lol

This is the only bike game that has manual L/R lean that I  have played. I've struggled with it since X (ps3 controller) is my rear brake.

99% of the time I never use the rear brake, maybe I should. lol

There are not enough buttons on the 360 pad to properly use the rear when everything is set to manual but to be honest I don't think you will gain much in terms of braking distance.

What button do you use for rear brake, and left to right lean?

it helps a bit when braking with the front but in curves it helps a lot to adjust the line

My controller setup. Only thing I forgot to list is D-Pad up is for Tear Offs. Change camera view button I rarely use since I only ride in helmet view.

My Controller Setup: XBox360 Wired Controller.

I have slight deadzone's set for Clutch and Rear Brake so I don't hit them by mistake if I move forward or back when steering. I only ride in helmet view so I don't use the change view button much, if at all.

Being able to adjust the line mid corner with the rear brake, makes it possible to brake later. I personally think it is so crucial to being fast, that not using it will prevent someone from getting even near the fastest times on most tracks

@Lids: your video does look really great with manual L/R lean, time for me to give it another try

You utilized your controller to the max, lol. Right on. Do you ever have a hard time using the clutch into or out of corners?

False ^^ In fact it's very helpful at the end of the breaking distance and to adjust your lines as iVolution explained you.
Here, you can find a post on my blog about controllers configurations (in french, but pictures controlers are simples) : http://www.motonline-france.com/index.php?post/2014/06/28/Divers-Configuration-du-contr%C3%B4leur-pour-les-jeux-de-motos

I started using manual lean L/R just before beta5 came out, and it's just too nice to watch ... I especially like "leaning" well before the turn, while braking: it looks like the rider is popping the knee out (OK, right now they pt the whole leg out, but ...).

With beta4 (as already reported) manual lean L/R also helped in some problematic corners (i.e. not leaning L/R to the max avoided falling).
Haven't tried beta5 enough to say if it's still the case.

MaX.

i will try and change to klax's controllersetup to get slowy to manual leaning have an logitech F710. its hard to change the break- and throttlefingers to shifting and learn to do that with the middlefingers...

I have basically been using Klax' setup since I began GP Bikes and to properly use the rear brake independentaly from steering l/r you would need two more triggers for clutch and rear brake.

I've been wishing for two more triggers myself, slightly inside middle but a little forward of the original triggers. That setup would be perfect.
