Spinning out more with the DD Pro than the CSR in Forza Horizon 5

I finally upgraded my 10 year old Fanatec CSR to a DD Pro. I have been using the CSR with the Drivehub and it was actually working very well with FH5 and many other Xbox and PS5 racing games. I just got the DD Pro this weekend and I tried to replicate all of the settings, just to get started. Everything is good except that I seem to be spinning out way more coming out of rough turns. It almost feels like I'm on ice, especially if I play online and get hit from the rear, I'm done. I don't even know how to get the wheel out of auto mode to calibrate the degrees of steering. I hooked it to my PC and set the degrees to 270 like the CSR was (I can learn how to play higher degrees after I get used to it) but when I put it back in Xbox mode it still says Auto and I'm not sure if it's actually 270. Forza Horizon 3 actually has the degrees in the game and I am not spinning out in that game. Any help or advice is appreciated. I also play the WRC games, regular Forza, and I will probably get Gran Turismo and fool around with more of the sim games on the PC, but this is the game I'm playing now.

Not sure if replicating settings from a belt driven wheel to a direct drive wheel would result in a desirable outcome.
Can't you change the settings in the calibration menu through your steering wheel when connecting to the XB? (key combo on steering wheel depends on individual wheel, see wheel manual)
I don't know if you only calibrate (the six profile) settings for individual modes (PC/XB/CM) or if they cross over between modes. Curious to find out if anybody knows.
If I try to change any settings from the wheel itself, it flashes "AUTO" which means it's getting the info from the game. I don't know or think that if I change the PC mode settings, it carries over to the Xbox mode. I can't figure out how to disable AUTO in Xbox mode.
