FirstSteps

Welcome aboard! When you launch gRally the Drive page appears, but the first time, before you drive, you need to configure some things:

⚠️ All the settings are saved automatically, so you only need to change them.

Video/Display

The video settings are quite self-explicative.

Play with the settings to find the right balance quality/performance. Some settings have more impact on performance, for example Reflections, Car mirror distance, Post Process, Draw distances and Anisotropic Levels are the most heavy for rendering. Just as example, some of the settings you see in the next images return a FPS range of 70-90 FPS on a i76700 + GTX1070.

Pacenotes

Into this page you can customize the Codriver AI, but the first thing that you should do is select the codriver, mostly for the non italian people 😁

Controls

Control tip 1

⚠️ You need to use these buttons ONLY when you want reduce the wheel or pedal range: in 90% of times you never click these!

Analogic controls

To set your analog control you just need to click the radio button on the left of the interested control (ie: steering wheel) and move the axis, you'll see a graph that show how it' working the controller in gRally

You can set the maximum and minimum value for each control clicking the button on the left/right of the slide.
You can change the linearity of the control moving the slider below the graph

You can invert the control with the toggle button if , with controller on the rest position, you have the full axis graph visible.

Goofy controls

The analogic and digital controls are now unified: this means that for the analog controls like steering, accelerate, handbrake, etc. it's possible use an analogic controller or a digital controller.

The big difference is for the steering, that when you use an analogic wheel you use one input, and if you use a digital controller you need to configure a left and right buttons.

Digital controls

To set the digital controls you do the same thing like the analogic controls.. you can click a joystick button or a keyboard key, once is set, clicking the element, the icon become red.

Here is the table of the default settings:

control	key
Accelerate	S
Brake	X
Steer Left	;
Steer Right	:
Shift Up	Q
Shift Down	SPACE
Handbrake	Z
Clutch	C
Engine	E
