How to: setup the G25 for rFactor

[Bram Hengeveld]

I notice some strange diffference between the simbin games and rfactor as i comes to default setup of the wheel.

What preferences should i use for the "G" ?

The settings are not in the plr file but you can create and ini file for this.

First thing to do is make a new controller profile.

So go into the controller menu and down the bottom where it says (AZkeyboard) delete that and type in a profile name of your choice (Default etc).

Then hit save. This will make a profile with all you current key allocations etc exactly as you have it set at that time.

Now do the same thing again but call it something different (G25) for example.

In the Rfactor folder you find the created ini file and you can edit it with my Race07 settings.

Now start up rfactor and load that profile and it will have your FF settings. Load 'Default' if you want to go back to your old settings. Note you don't have to load it each time, it will default to which ever setup you loaded last.

What i do for F1RFT mod and force feed back (others mod it works too i think)

I put on setup rfactor controller window :

-100% (negative value for G25 on Rfactor)
Wheel
Complete

After that, i found the files : C:/program/rfactor/userdata/"profil"/controller(.ini) ,
then i replace the corresponding lines with those :

FFB Device Type="1" // Type of FFB controller: 0=none 1=wheel, 2=stick/custom, 3=rumble pad.

FFB steer force max change="100.00000" // Maximum change per second based on current difference between calculated and applied force, to help avoid jerky behavior (values under 15 or so should reduce jerkiness, 100 disables)

FFB steer force grip function="0.55000" // Range 0.0 to 1.0 (previous hardcoded value was 1.0) - lower values will make steering force decrease LATER as front tire grip is lost - try 0.3

FFB steer update threshold="0.00000" // Amount of change required to update steer force/vibe (0.0 - 1.0). Lower values = steering force updated more frequently = lower frame rate.

FFB rumble strip magnitude="0.25000" // How strong the rumble strip rumble is. Range 0.0 to 1.0, 0.0 disables effect.

FFB rumble strip pull factor="-0.50000" // How strongly wheel pulls right/left when running over a rumble strip. Suggested range: -1.5 to 1.5.
FFB rumble strip update thresh="0.07500" // Amount of change required to update rumble strip effect (0.0 - 1.0)
FFB jolt magnitude="1.00000" // How strong jolts from other cars (or walls) are. Suggested Range: -2.0 to 2.0.

(after my original is saved of course)

And my forcefeebback is perfect

anyone know how i can get rid of the dead zone in the black momo wheel ?


dice

 

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

On this page you can find several tweak programs, they are safe to use but read the manuals.

I would suggest DXtweak or DXtweak2, to remove deadzones.

And you need to set deadzones in the game also to 0%, but i think you already did that.

Good luck!

marcel, i can't delete the controller profiles. there's no button for that. only save and load??
any help??

You need to do that outside RF, go to the explorer and there you can delete the profiles as you wish.
