Assetto Corsa Thrustmaster T500RS Settings

[Kevin Cox]

Hi guys.

I hope this helps anyone with the T500RS to get a better FFB feel. I think it feels pretty good IMO.

T500 Control Panel:
Overall Strength = 100%
Constant = 100%
Periodic = 100%
Spring = 0%
Damper = 0%
Auto centre = by the game (Recommended)

In game settings:
Force feedback = 45%
Filter = 0%

With these settings the wheel also centers itself much quicker as people have been saying with the T500 the wheel doesn't seem to center properly.

I finally feel again the tyres locking. I increased road, slip and kerb. I'm not satisfied yet with the feeling when i'm going to lose the car. I can't feel it until it's almost too late, which is a problem since from the last update the overall grip has been decreased.

Hello,
i just want to share my settings and maybe some suggestion, if its ok'ish or something else.

Control Panel
Wheel degree 900°

All Forces 60%
konstant 100%
periodic 100%
spring 0%
damping 12%

autocenter 12% set by game

In Game
Gain 60% ; Filter 0% ; Min Force 3% ; Kerb 5% ; Road 7% ; Slip 40%

in assetto_corsa.ini
Soft_Lock Enabled =1

keep in mind that u can set the Car FFB by itself using Numpad plus or minus


actually i am testing if i like enabling the Gyro Effekt or not.

Have fun and good racing,
Cheers MiK

Clear enough mate... neither am I
Just asked because this z170 chipset seems to have huge issues with usb

Just out of curiosity, what usb issues are the Z170 cihpsets having? I have a z170 pro gaming mobo and so far im not seeing any usb issues (besides not having enough) So i just want to know what to look for

Might be just my board, but I'm lacking details of ffb... I really wouldn't have even noticed if it was't suddenly started working for a while after chipset driver update. Also more than few occasions it has bsod'd if I have my wheel connected. It's going for RMA, propably power feed problem on mobo.

 

[Greg Latty]

yah that might be a bad board. My ffb is too strong in some cases on my tx wheel. And (knock on wood) ive never had a BSOD on my rig running win 10. I have it in a usb 2.0 port.. I get weird issues if i try to use usb 3.0.. same with my CSP v2 pedals. They dont work well with 3.0 for whatever reason

Wheel degree 900°

All Forces 60%
constant 100%
periodic 100%
spring 100%
damping 100%
autocenter 12% set by game

In Game 900º
Gain 80% ; Filter 0% ; Min Force 1% ; Kerb 20% ; Road 50% ; Slip 8%

In car
Around 100, some cars 80 other ones 120, but 100% in general.

Great FFB feeling for me as usual in AC.
(I use general forces too for iRacing)

I'm new to sim racing and I am wondering why so many people use spring and dampening on 0%? Also in-game kerb, road and slip all 0% why? what do they do? thanks!

 

[Valentin Neubauer]

i had the G25 before and i must say, im kinda disappointed of the t500rs FFB

tried several settings, but it feels much to heavy, and if i lower the gain, i dont feel any ffb effects anymore.
especially while drifting, its much too heavy and strong

 

[Carlos Panades]

Don't be disappointed mate until you try the settings I am using: (at least in AC)

T500 driver:
Gain 60
Constant and Periodic 100%
Spring 0%
Damping 10%

In game Assetto Corsa:
Gain 80%
Filter 0%
Mininum Force: 1%
Kerb effect: 50%
Road effect 26%
Slip effect 0%
Enhanced understeer effect disabled.

Hope it works ok for you and in other games I keep Spring and Damper at 0% or 10% damper only. Seeya

 

[Valentin Neubauer]

Hey thank you for Sharing..

But imo 80% gain in game is way to strong.
Steering in modern Cars is light and easy, almost no Force needed even when sliding. In my own car, or when watching Chris Harris

 

[Carlos Panades]

Try to keep settings and reduce from 80 to 60% in game. With 60 and all other setting as they are, you will still feel most details. However I think you will not get all very detailed bumps without a bit of extra weight with T500. Maybe with a even more professional wheel. Just my guess.

 

[tlsmikey]

Interesting. I use 100% spring. I'll have to try 0.

 

[Valentin Neubauer]

so, in order to have precise FFB and to feel the bumps, one have to put a completlely unrealistic heaviness to the wheel ?
i keep on trying

 

[Carlos Panades]

I read some posts above that someone is having a bad FFB feel (due a usb port it seems) and I need to tell that I am having an issue similar and don't know what causes it, but I noticed when I start my PC and the wheel rotates (calibrating itself) I get that poor ffb effect in games. However if I shut PC down and start it again (sometimes I need to do that more than once) and the wheel do not rotate while Windows starts, then the FFB feel perfectly good and accurate again. There is someone else with that minor issue? I think Windows is causing it somehow.

Please keep on trying and make sure to share the results with us, I am curious to test your setup once done, specially because I had the same problem with ffb feel you are experiencing now.

I use these settings for the F1 and GT wheel.

Try these with gyro enabled in assetto corsa cfg.ini. Adjust ffb ingame per car as needed, just avoid clipping coz then you are loosing fidelity.

 

[Carlos Panades]

If I enable Gyro in Assetto, when using Open Wheel cars my T500 shakes a lot and it's so intense I can't keep going. Any ideas?

 

[Tommi Saari]

Never had that problem with original content. With some mods Rising ride height solved that...but this was before some of the suspension issue were solved within the game. I stay away from car mods these days.

 

[Tommi Saari]

I recall the oscilating being engine vibrations coming through the ultastiff suspension on open wheelers.

 

[Carlos Panades]

I don't have any mod content, but the original cars. F1 Ferraris don't happen that often, but with Lotus Classic and Ferrari 321T happens a lot
