I played this game for some time now and I only use the Wheel B (flipped) control when I play on my iPhone 5s. For some time now I have noticed how I get fucked over by the smartphones gyro function that is required on the device for the game to start.

The first time I noticed this was when I was riding a real physical ;) car (in the back seat or passenger seat ofc) and I sometimes lose control of my car and smash straigth into the wall when aproaching a corner (in game... ofc :) because the screen stopped responding to my thumbs. Then I need to lift my thumbs from the screen and put them down to get my control back, but this still means a full stop wich easy adds 8-15 seconds to my lap time. I did not realy understood why this happened at first but...

I planned a trip by long distance train and a sleeping wagon (bad english?) and I thought it would be a perfect time to finnish some series since I had 14 hours to spend over a night. That all felt good until I started to play. As the train slowly tilted/bumped from side to side I lost control over my car again. First off I thought my smartphone was overheated, damaged and broken so I started to plan a new phone purchase but after the trip (when the world was still again and the rocking had stopped) I tried playing again and all was fine, full control of the car.

So, the conclusion I got from this is that the gyro fucks up the gameplay if the gyro gets to much information (bumping/rocking). This will make it pretty hard to play the game when riding a car while playing or completly unplayable (on the train) if it rocks too much. And this even accurs when I use a control mode that don't even requier the gyro to work in the first place.

Do any of you experience the same? Post if you do and maybe someone at FM read this and we might get a solution to this in the future because I like to play when traveling.

If my assumption is correct  I would like an option to turn the gyro on/off even if it is required to have the gyro for the game to start.
