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.

In assetto corsa under the effect .....they add abs effect

Sorry mate, I did not noticed it yet, will check later, thanks

Hello! I am actually using Gamma instead LUT. If you want to generate Lut, first you set TM control panel the way you want it then generate LUT. I don't get the question about ABS effect, what do you mean?

How use gamma insteed lut

 

[daveneverend]

how activate gamma.... in cfg in assetto corsa or in my document...

in document my setting are :
[HEADER]
VERSION=1
TYPE=LUT
ENABLED=0

[GAMMA]
VALUE=0.90

[LUT]
CURVE=myLUT.lut


and in assetto corsa is :

[HEADER]
VERSION=1
TYPE=GAMMA
ENABLED=0

[GAMMA]
VALUE=0.9

[LUT]
CURVE=crazy1.lut
...sooo what i do

I am not home now, I can check when I get there, but as far as I remember is in My Docs. I think few pages back, somebody posted how the file needs to look like.

I set ENABLED=1 and VALUE=1 in my ff_post_process.ini file (C:\Users\YOU\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg). At first, coming from a few weeks with GAMMA 0.85, linear response felt quite odd, almost too light, but now I really prefer it. There seems to be less resistance on the wheel when trying to recover from a slide.

In assetto_corsa.ini, I have FF_SKIP_STEPS=0, ENABLE_GYRO=0, DAMPER_MIN_LEVEL=0.1, DAMPER_GAIN=1.0

TM Control Panel: 1080°, Master Gain 85%, Constant 100%, Periodic (actually has no effect in AC) 100%, Spring 25%, Damper 25%, Auto-Centre 0%

I hope that helps a little

EDIT - after more testing, I strongly suspect that the only sliders in the Thrustmaster Control Panel that have effect are Master Gain and Constant. Even with Damper set to 0%, DAMPER_MIN_LEVEL and DAMPER_GAIN still have an effect in AC, so the damper feeling is not coming from the TM CP.

I now just have:
TM Control Panel: 1080°, Master Gain 85%, Constant 100%, Periodic 0%, Spring 0%, Damper 0%, Auto-Centre 0%, and still have FF_SKIP_STEPS=0, ENABLE_GYRO=0, DAMPER_MIN_LEVEL=0.1, DAMPER_GAIN=1.0 in assetto_corsa.ini (GYRO=1 felt immediately bad, like my wheel had been filled with heavy grease)

I dont understand
how activate gamma.... in cfg in assetto corsa or in my document...

in document my setting are :
[HEADER]
VERSION=1
TYPE=LUT. (Why us Write lut if is the gamma)
ENABLED=0. (why u Write 0...(1=enable 0=no)

[GAMMA]
VALUE=0.90

[LUT]
CURVE=myLUT.lut

Make a backup of the file first then delete it. Run the game for it to generate a new file in my documents.
Tell me how it is and I will be able to help you more since I am not in home now.

Ok i have it...the original file us Write gamma...so i Write enable-1 and 0.9

Good to go buddy!

the steering wheel made (right, left, right, left) when I let go. or when i give a quick turn and let go the wheel...

 

[Carlos Panades]

You need to let it finish the test completely. It will shake left and right many times.

Not the wheel check...but on game with your setting

I need basically the same to be able to feel the road! I think it is normal.
I ended up changing things after 1.4 update. I am using 0.9 of gamma in the cfg file and 60,100,100,0,10 in TM control panel. In game I am using gain 75%, Filter and Min Force at 0, Kerbs 50%, Road 33%, Slip 12%, Enhanced understeer off. Now, can be a placebo effect but I am using degrees of rotation 40% (min possible) and I am setting the degrees of rotation of each car I am about to drive in TM control panel. This way I "feel" better and have hardware lock on the wheel, not softlock. As long as I try to find a perfect settings the more I think all is subjective after all and even hardwares are different slightly, influencing the judgement. Also, sometimes I "think" I have a complete different feel using the same settings, that's why I am powering on the pc and then pluging the wheel, so it don't get "weird" in the process..
Let us aware of your choices mate! I would like to hear from you your results

Whit force feedback clip or no???

You mean it shakes a bit in straight line? If yes, that's why I am using gamma instead Lut.

Here are my settings. Im very happy with them.
This is how my Thrustmaster ControlPanel looks:

Ingame settings: (I use Content Manager, but the same settings should be there in AC Launcher)

"Effects" depend a lot on your taste, you can put them all on 0% if you want.
And you should use FFBClip! Dont forget to put it on "Dynamic" each time you start a session / join a server! It says something like "Dynamic mode engaged" if I remember correctly. But after some time you will feel the difference and you will instantly know when you forget to put it on dynamic
I Hope I could help you with my settings. BTW: Im not using any Gamma/Lut

No on real life...give à Quick turn right in straight Line and release the wheel ..IT Return straight in the center . Not left right left right....i Méan..yes IT Return center but the wheel pass the center and Return and pass ans Return...

Hate to bump a very old topic.

I recently got back to AC with my t500rs and was wondering if the preset option was best, or are there tweaks I should consider.

The preset option gives me 540 rotation, is that the best?

 

[jimortality]

Do people still use the ffb clip app? What does TSA mean?

 

[Sjurres]

Tried your settings, tweaked them a bit to my liking, seems to feel way better! Thanks!
