Assetto Corsa Thrustmaster T300 Settings

[Giovaneveterano]

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.

480 + 40= 520
on your reference page ferrari 458gt2 the steering lock is 540
540 - 520= 20
So yes is more reactive if you use a lower locking

 

[rikirk]

It's 480 for 488GT3. I just followed the directions in the link I posted earlier.

 

[Kweel]

ok my mistake

Updated to the latest settings

599 wheel lock on Ferrari 599xx?perfection i guess.

New to the T300RS and fairly new to AC. Thx for this thread. Wheel feels great, in general with these settings. Two questions:

1. Why set DOR=900 when the native DOR of the wheel is 1080? My understanding from general threads I have read on wheels is that you match the native capability in your settings and the games like AC will softlock to the actual sim cars DOR.

2. I have a wobble with the wheel at center while driving in a straight line if I take my hands off the wheel. It feels like a "machine gun" effect if I am holding the wheel...but it only happens at dead center. Any/best way to address this?

Thx.

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

If you are using my settings you should be using 1080 and have no wheel wobble in a straight line. Try lowering the min force until you feel a deadzone while going straight. (some cars are worse than others with the wobbling though)

 

[Giovaneveterano]

1. Why set DOR=900 when the native DOR of the wheel is 1080?

2. I have a wobble with the wheel at center while driving in a straight line

1. 900 is the default DOR into the Thrustmaster control panel, you can put up to 1080, no differences in actual driving, but be careful when you perform a full lock (at 1080° you're pushing directly on the physical limit of the wheel, at 900° it's just a virtual lock).
2. Did you enabled the gyro trick? It should fix the oscillations in the center

 

[Andy_W]

Thx. Yes, I enabled the Gyro settings. I may try Michaels settings to minimize the wobble. On a related note...should SOFT LOCK be enabled in assetto_corsa.ini for the virtual wheel lock to work? My is set to 0.0.

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Soft lock sucks in AC, I highly, highly, highly DO NOT recommend using it.

Use this in the assetto_corsa.ini to make sure it is OFF. (it will violently jerk your wheel back and forth when enabled)
[SOFT_LOCK]
ENABLED=0

 

[Giovaneveterano]

Thx. Yes, I enabled the Gyro settings. I may try Michaels settings to minimize the wobble. On a related note...should SOFT LOCK be enabled in assetto_corsa.ini for the virtual wheel lock to work? My is set to 0.0.

As Michael says you should not enable the soft lock.
The gyro trick is the only .ini file you could change.
Maybe a Steam integrity check could fix you issues...

 

[Andy_W]

SOFT_LOCK is disabled. It never was enabled.

 

[Andy_W]

So, through process of elimination, I discovered what was causing this. The Minimum Force setting. Put it at 0, all is well.

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Are you using a LUT?
What does your ff_post_process ini look like in your documents?

Minimum force at zero while not using LUT should result in a significant dead zone while going straight

Good catch! I forgot I was using a LUT with my DFGT. I'll revert to defaults on that ini and see what happens.

 

[Andy_W]

LOL. I think I liked the rotating resistance curve better with the LUT...

Hi everyone
Lately I did a cheap brake mod for my T3PA and, you know? It's brilliant!
You can check it out here on RaceDepartment following this link:

I wish you all an awesome 2018!

Micheal my ff_post_process file looks like this

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

[GAMMA]
VALUE=0.5

[LUT]
CURVE=crazy1.lut

different from what you say in your settings, but i never used LUT, is my file ok?

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

That's fine, Enabled=0 is the important part.

 

[Exaile]

That's fine, Enabled=0 is the important part.

Thanks. One other thing, should i use FFB Clip?
