how much nm yo using for direct drive?

[Deleted member 963434]

How yo set yo nm max force in direct drive wheel software.
Im using 12 nm thats 60% of my mige motor max. But im curious how much yo using? I stay with this, tested 20, 15, 13 and 10 nm but stay with 12 but curious is it higher or lower than others. How much yo using?

I have my Simucube 2 Pro set on 100% in the settings - but most sims set on about 25-30% - which I guess is about 6 to 7.5nm

same here even down to 20 % with v8 in the ams2 event @ adealaide on tuesday.
But yeah 25/35 % range with simicube 100%.
Only i racing i calibrate car by car but i play it less and less

SC2 Sport here. 50% (8.5NM) inPC2, 55% (ab bit > 9NM) in RF2. As I'm just starting out on this DD adventure, it might well be that I'll feel the need to change params (and strength) depending on car going forward.
Above strength is purely based on my imagination - the effect is what I ASSUME the steering resistance in the real car would be. Most likely I'm surprisingly far off but will never get to know

The truth is — I think it's more about comfort than anything.

No point in your arms and hands aching after half hour — for sure a real racing driver is many times fitter than I am. Plus they probably don't actually get as much seat time!

For me it's more about feedback than the force bit.

Atm Im peaking at around 11 Nm on my DD1 in ACC and AC so pretty similar to your max torque.

real (modern) race cars are surprisingly easy on your arms, build for amateur drivers and potential long stints.

If you simulate old F1 cars tho...

I tried using my newly built Small MIGE SC1 with 1:1 torque in iRacing last night and felt like it was going to pull my arms off.

1:1 in iracing is way off, still dont know why they have it like that.

I always have the sc2 at 100% and adjust in game. something like rf2 usually around .40 and similar of others. depends on car sometimes, especially in iracing.

If you have come from a much lighter wheel you may start to grip too hard and get tired. If you are wearing gloves to help with grip it can be a good idea to try and remember not to do a death grip. Sometime I think new guys get more tired with their own extra effort they dont always need to do.
