I used this stage to try and understand controller filters. Needless to say, if you try and play RBR with a gamepad, and you don't set any filters, you're in for a rough ride. I saw on the RBR Discord that Rise and Fall rate can be used to mitigate the sudden characteristic of controller sticks, and keyboard keys, whilst being pretty much useless if you use the "rocker" joystick technique. That's where you push forward on the stick, and roll it around between the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.
I've never used that technique so, despite always having the other filters set from the best example that suited me that I found online, I thought Rise and Fall filters might improve my diabolical performance on this stage. They didn't help, and by setting both those filters back to "Instant" I got the time improvement I was expecting after not doing this stage since I was a total RBR beginner about a year before. I have tho', been using an XBox controller for driving games since about 2004, (Forza 1?) so my own stick technique includes a certain degree of sensitivity, where not only do I use slower stick movements for long predictable curves, I also use the "tap-tap-tap" method of steering in some places, and I do a similar thing, but with lighter half-way taps in other places.
None of that blended at all well with any "rise and fall" settings in RBR filters. So, if you want to try some basic controller filter settings, here are mine which I'm editing as I see/feel definite improvements:
Settings for this attempt.
Curvature 1 = 9 red bars.
Curvature 2 = 16 red bars.
Maximum Fade = 16 red bars.
Saturation speed = 5 red bars.
Rise and Fall Rate = both instant.
But after having a similar "WFT is wrong with me" experience on the new Santa Lucia stage, I noticed something about the amount of steering input at certain medium/low speed corners, and tweaked things a bit, so...
My newest settings are:
Curvature 1 = 5 red bars.
Curvature 2 = 10 red bars.
Maximum Fade = 17 red bars.
Saturation speed = 9 red bars.
Rise and Fall Rate = both instant.
Additional "Rise and Fall Rate" settings, for keyboard steering, or if you don't use the stick "rocker" technique, or if you steer "brutally" with the stick, then according to the recommendations I've seen:
Fall Rate should be double the Rise Rate, eg:
Rise Rate: 2.2
Fall Rate: 4.4
...maybe start with lower numbers and work your way up, because the scale of adjustment is 0.2 per click with a maximum setting of 10.
Replay uses RBR DirectorsCut Auto Stage Cams (Default settings).
