The problem with Realfeel is that the feedback force each of us feels is unique, due to our unique setups at both a hardware (wheel type) and software level (Windows driver revision used; Windows Control Panel settings; controller.ini tweaks; in-game wheel settings).

The key thing is to set Realfeel so that the hardest normal force experienced by the steering rack is 100% of feedback you get. It is common for sim racers to set Realfeel too low, as they do not like the softness of their wheel when travelling in a straight line.

  • Read the flippin manual to get the basics sorted out
  • Edit the realfeel.ini so that the console mode is enabled
  • Launch the rfactor config, drop down from your normal resloution and enable windowed mode
  • Start up rfactor, select a mod and a track with some good tarmac bumps such as the full course of Oulton 2005
  • Position your rf window and Realfeel console so that you can at least see the "%" column of the latter (helps to expand this console window to whole height of your monitor)
  • Drive round your test track, keeping an eye on the % value, especially through corners and bumpy sections
  • Use left Ctrl + Numpad 7/9 for 1000 unit changes; right Ctrl for 100 unit changes
  • If the steering feels really odd going just off straight on either side, press right Ctrl + Numpad 8
Sounds a hassle, but it really is worth spending a few minutes of your time to get values that are right for your setup!
