Force Feedback Settings

2scoops · Apr 25, 2016

If you are struggling with FFB here are the settings that I use:

Intensity: 100%
Smoothing: 0%
FFB Spring: 20%
Damper: 0%
Steering Force: 75%
Minimun Force: 20%
Understeer: 60%
Vertical: 100-180 depending on car (gives you better feel of tyres on road)
Lateral: 50%
Rack: 100%
Slip: 75%
Engine: 10%
Kerb: 30%
Shift: 30%

Then just adjust your FFB Multiplier in your steering setup settings to keep your FFB within the yellow and red lines on the FFB graph.

I've found a setup I really like now.
I've changed my Thrustmaster settings to what David Slute uses and then a combined set for the FFB:

Intensity: 100%
Smoothing: 5%
FFB Spring: 10%
Damper: 0%
Steering Force: 75%
Minimum Force: 6%
Understeer: 75%
Vertical: minimum 100% - may increase for different cars to get a good feel of being on the track.
Lateral: 55%
Rack: 100%
Slip: 75%
Engine: 10%
Kerb: 30%
Shift: 30%

Then change the multiplier per car.

What car and tracks are you basing these on? I'm using the WTCC 14 and 15 around Slovakia for mine.

I like these, I like these a lot. I sometimes get where the graph runs along the Yellow line but I'm going to put up with that because the rest of it works. I don't have any steering rack either so may try that later.

These are my standard settings for all cars and tracks, I will adjust the FFB Multiplier to what I like for each car/combo. Sometimes I don't feel the front tyres pressing on the track, so I will increase the Vertical Force, but that doesn't happen often, I know the Aquila is one, but then I don't like the car and only race it in the odd event here.

Can you tx owners do me a favour please. Go into your game menu and into one of the settings, video, controller etc and then press your right paddle shifter and see if your page goes back. Cheers

Where do you find the forced fan on option? And does anyone know if this is available on a CSW V2?

Menu button + button 8 the menu button led will flash once to indicate automatic mode, 2 flashes indicates forced fan on....you will also hear the fan

No idea about the csw

Does this work on a T300? I have one of those too but I don't recall a "menu" button (or didn't know it was called that).

Kurupt CDN · Apr 29, 2016

Yes, but you must have the latest firmware and driver installed....the button combo to implement the fan might be different from wheel to wheel.

It's not "wrong" at all, it's people's own personal preferences. You have your ideal settings, other people have theirs. If it makes you so crazy then simply refrain from reading the settings others are using.
