Wheel settings after update

Peter · Sep 10, 2014

All the old control sets are terminated with the update.

The advised settings are 900° and 30 wheel lock, but we tested and used default wheel driver settings without damper and spring.

For example Thrustmaster T500 60%/100%/100%/0%/0% and TX 75%/100%/100%/0%/0%.

Logitech uses 270° default, so the wheel lock is set to 10 in game.
Feel free to change that to 900°/30.

All wheels that have 900° should use this from now on as a default setting.

The target for the team is to have an automatic rotation/lock for all wheels/cars in the future.

ok this is what im playing with lately
fana cswv1 +bmw rim +clubsport pedals+thrs8 seq

so you can either remap etc or just cut and paste the ffb bit
profile settings
900°
no damper
wheel settings
ffb 100/shock100/abs 090/ for 100/the rest 0

now if a car feels to heavy lower the ffb on wheel a click : if it feels to light go up a click on the for

i dont have a motion sim so the way i set my wheel will show some of the car movement

anyway hope that helps

figures may transfer to a g27/g25 but havent tested them

fluff and rainbows

@Andi Goodwin do you know what setting might drown out the shifting effect? Even at 100% I feel zero shift effect on my T300 RS.

Andi Goodwin · Jan 3, 2015

nope ; go in there with the text editor and change it to 2 and see if that helps

Thanks, I'll check it out. My GT3 would shake a lot under braking too, which I liked, but the T300 doesn't move at all. Everything else about the wheel is great though.

FinnDog Millionare · Jan 4, 2015

Let us know if you manage to solve it as I've also changed from a Fanatec to a T300 and miss the gearshift rumble/wheel vibration etc

Quick question - apologies if this has already been asked somewhere.

How do I create a copy of a user-created controller profile so that I can adjust the shifter controls (paddles, sequential, H-shifter) for each profile while keeping all other settings the same? Is it as simple as copy/pasting the .rcs files?

Peter · Jan 4, 2015

I back up the profile and rename the one in game, after that I copy the back up back in. Saves remapping buttons.

James Cook · Jan 4, 2015

I understand. Thanks Peter.

Yeah, upon further review both my constant and periodic are at 100% so there must be some other setting canceling out the shift effect. I know I could feel it on my GT3 RS.

I also use 100% for Constant and Periodic (Spring and Damper = 0) and I can feel the shift effect but it isn't very noticeable (tried GT cars with paddles and H for DTM 92). I played around with Engine, Brake, Shift, and Curb (Slovakia Ring as the track is very smooth, bumps don't interfere) - turning all to zero then testing each by itself. The shifting is the least noticeable, all the others I can get a lot of effect.
I tried turning Constant to 0 but that didn't seem to make any difference in R3E.
I never tinkered much with the Shift effect in R3E as I use SimVibe where the shift effect is much more noticeable with seat and pedal transducers.

Thrustmaster TX here.

Hey Gents

Could anybody tell me if S3 will every sort out these steering settings. Or let me refraze. Is the plans too?

"refraze" beautiful

What wheels have problems these days?

I still have a ffb center deadzone issue on the Logitech G27 but everything is not bad even at default settings for everything.

Always try killing your controller profile and starting over. I find that's a good idea after every update.

lionofjudah72 · Jan 10, 2015

My settings are ok, its just PT to change them for certain cars. Oh will thanx Champ

g25 g27 all have that problem and always will..only thing to do is buy a new wheel like t500 or t300 etc if you wanna get rid of deadzone issue.

iRacing's min force solves this.

Msportdan · Jan 13, 2015

Assetto Corsa now has this, and when i had my DFGT it helped massively.

S3 should consider this. As theres still a load of logitech users out there!

I will mention I found probably my fav feel so far:-

200 ver load (not so high to avoid clipping by the strong ffb)
170 lateral load (for the fwds otherwise to low and they become floaty, also makes up for lower steer force)
100 FFB (keeps strong detail in all effects).
38 setting for steering force. (seems to rid the horrid centre force and unhide corner road details) SET THIS TO THE STRENGTH OF YOUR WHEEL, OR PERSONAL PREFERENCE. HIGHER=HARDER TO TURN. BUT PLEASE NOTE THE HIGH LATERAL VALUE SHOULD COMPENSATE FOR THIS!
100 understeer

Also this seems quite compatible across all cars. yes obviously you have to compromise to get this. This is one t300 GTE btw. 80 in profiler 100/100/0/0 default centre.

IM ACTUALLY REALLY HAPPY WITH THESE.

So this will work with my TX and GTE rim I reckon

will try tonight thanks

Msportdan · Jan 14, 2015

it will as i said steer force will be your own preference. I find it s a realistic feeling level now and dont need a wrestlers arm to turn a corner.

Brandon Wright · Jan 14, 2015

I've found that cranking the FFB effect up gives me more feeling from the road, bumps and yumps and grooves and such. It can make the wheel slightly heavier, but lowering the FFB strength a touch balances it out. I believe my FFB effect is 110 or 115, if I go over 125 the wheel bounces/moves around so much I have a hard time hanging on to it.

jimortality · Jan 19, 2015

My only real issue with the FFB is I'm not feeling the track surface bumps as much as I'd like on myTX. Vertical load is at 200%. Bumps are sometimes there but it's very subtle. Slovak ring bumps are none existent

James Cook · Jan 19, 2015

I hear what you're saying. I don't feel the surface enough through my CSR either.

Slovakiaring has only been in use for a few years so it's quite possible the surface is very smooth but even so I would expect to feel more details.
