...but that sure is no comparison to having a proper wheel + pedal setup!
Get yourself a reletavely inexpensive logitech "driving force PRO" - and you're in control of the car rather than judging your next action by the reaction you determine after you can see you the ting on your screen drifting away.
To put it plain and simple:
Yes -
it is possible to drive the bf1 with mouse steer and a well-chosen traction control setting.
NO -
it is NOT possible to race it that way. Even anything less powerful than a GTR is really hard to actually RACE with mouse, speaking from experience - You will have to aquire more than some skill to do so AND you will almost always think - "Why didn't I save for some proper wheel(...)"
If you are really interested in sim-driving
, trust me on this, forget about any joystick and get yourself a proper wheel: either dfp or g25 would be the choice for you if you aren't a millionaire.
