Assetto Corsa Thrustmaster T300 Settings

Giovaneveterano · Mar 3, 2017

Hi everyone, here we are with my personal settings for the Thrustmaster T300 for the PC version of Assetto Corsa. If you want more infos about the FFB, I suggest you to read this post of Luca Sodano from @kunos and this article on Reddit. Have a look at the settings below or download the files for an easy setup.

Thrustmaster Control Panel

Degree of Rotation: 900°
Overall FFB: 100%
Constant: 100%
Periodic: 100%
Spring: 100%
Damper: 0%
Auto-Center: by the game

In-game Settings

Degree of Rotation: 900°
Gain: 75%
Filter: 0%
Minimum Force: 2%
Kerb Effects: 0%
Road Effects: 0%
Slip Effects: 0%
ABS effects: 0%

Gamma: 1.00
Filter: 0.00
Speed Sensitivity: 0.00
Brake Gamma: 2.40

Enabled Gyro

Open assettocorsa\system\cfg\assetto_corsa.ini using Notepad:
[FF_EXPERIMENTAL]
ENABLE_GYRO=1
DAMPER_MIN_LEVEL=0.12
DAMPER_GAIN=1.0

Post Processing

Open Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg\ff_post_process.ini using Notepad:
[HEADER]
VERSION=1
TYPE=GAMMA
ENABLED=1

[GAMMA]
VALUE=0.8

[LUT]
CURVE=mylut.lut

I hope this helps someone else with the T300 to get a more immersive FFB feel.

I use damper because I like having a bit of resistance in the wheel while sitting still; doesn't feel very realistic to me to have no resistance in the wheel while pulling out of pit lane. Damper automatically turns off at around 3-5 kph.

I'll give it a try when I could. Thanks for the explanation

Here is what I use:
FFB settings with GYRO enabled:
IMPORTANT: go to :\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\system\cfg and open the Assetto Corsa INI using Notepad.
Go to the [FF_EXPERIMENTAL] section and set ENABLE_ GYRO=1 and set DAMPER_MIN_LEVEL=0.01 and save. Should look like this:
[FF_EXPERIMENTAL]
ENABLE_GYRO=1
DAMPER_MIN_LEVEL=0.01
DAMPER_GAIN=1.0

IMPORTANT: go to :\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg and open the ff_post_process INI using Notepad and make sure that it looks like this:
[HEADER]
VERSION=1
TYPE=LUT
ENABLED=0

[GAMMA]
VALUE=0.5

[LUT]
CURVE=doesn't_matter.lut
----------------------------
In the Thrustmaster control panel:
Overall Strength: 90%
Constant: 100%
Periodic: 100%
Spring: 0%
Damper: 100%
Auto-center: By the game
--------------------
In game:
Gain: 80%
Filter: 0%
Min force: 6%
Kerb: 0%
Road: 0%
Slip: 0%
Understeer: UNCHECKED

Hey mate! This Gyro trick that I was looking for! I can feel the grip of tires. Started to beat my best laptimes! Thank you!!!

Hi,

I own a T300 and I need help. For me wheel is too strong with settings like that :
FFB Tm : 65%
Assettocorsa Main FFB : 80%

My question is: what is the best way to reduce wheel FFB strength ? By reducing TM FFB, or Assetto FFB or both too ?

If Total FFB = TM FFB x AC main FFB; which one is the best :
1) TM 100% x AC 50% = global 50%
or
2) TM 50% x AC 100% = global 50%

Many thanks !

Same here, but it's really preference, so adjust it to your liking. Mine's set to 75% in CP, 70 in-game, and use FFBClip app... works fine. As it's a multiplier, I suggest just setting CP to match all your sims (if you have others too).

Thx. So I will try to reduce AC main FFB because I haven't this problem on rfactor2. In rF2, wheel is ok but it's very hard to keep a straight line on AC for me....

Ps: maybe I need more muscle on my arm!!!

Don't overload your T300, most of the issues came with people using crazy high FFB settings.
Racing wheel should be firm, but not hard to turn.

I use following settings. It's overload ?

Thrustmaster Control Panel

Degree of Rotation: 900°
Overall FFB: 65%
Constant: 100%
Periodic: 100%
Spring: 0%
Damper: 0%
Auto-Center: by the game

In-game settings

Degree of Rotation: 900°
Gain: 80%
Filter: 0%

Kerb Effects: 0%
Road Effects: 0%
Slip Effects: 0%

Gamma: 1.00
Filter: 0.00
Speed Sensitivity: 0.00
Brake Gamma: 2.80

It's too strong for me, it's normal with settings like that ?

Change Gamma to 0.00

Not sure I can do it. 1.00 is the lowest value I think.

Yep, sorry my mistake.
Btw your settings don't have nothing weird.
Into the game enable the "pedal" app and drive.

The grey bar on the right is the Force Feedback. When it goes all the way up it becames red. If it does, lower the FFB strength, instead if it goes up and down but stays gray all the time everything it's safe.

900°?
0 min force?
65%?

You should have a wheel that is so light it barely feels turned on, likely with a huge dead zone in the center.

But hey, if it feels good to you then it doesn't matter....

It's not so light that why I re-open this thread. Settings are lighter than yours but for me it's very hard to keep it in a correct.

I will try to reset Assetto Corsa cfg folders !

Michael Hornbuckle · Jul 28, 2017

What does your ff_post_process.ini that is located here
\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg
look like?

also:
set the min force to 6% and see how it feels.

Vincent.C · Jul 28, 2017

Ok I will try min force.

ff_post_process.ini ->
Enable=1
Type=LUT
with custom *.lut file >> made with LUT generator

About Gyro, it's set to 1.

Michael Hornbuckle · Jul 28, 2017

Not sure why you would use LUT with a belt driven wheel, but yeah, min force set to 0 is correct since you are using LUT.

Thanks man, I will follow your advises and disable Lut for testing.

Michael Hornbuckle · Jul 28, 2017

I think disabling LUT is going to make your wheel even heavier. Should probably just stick with what you have and lower the in-game gain down to whatever feels good for you.
