FFB Guide

Would recommend the below in-game and wheel settings for Fanatec users.

Any translation to the T300?

 

I'll post you my t300 settings later

here's my settings, or at least i still use similar and the same principles still apply for me

 

I don't really agree with a lot of what he is saying, the fact he has little weight in the wheel is because he's not running any damper. Everyone should try damper, It makes a massive difference.

 

why would anyone want damper? its artificial weight that mutes detail

 

Damper simulates the natural friction and hence weight in a steering system. Without it it's like steering in a kart that is up on jacks, there literally is nothing there. In any car there is always some weight in the steering regardless of whether the car is turning and hence tyres are loaded. Try 15-20%. The physics dev is running damper so that says something....

 

i have natural damper set to 5 on my DD1, very low

but i will try your suggestions if you have some

 

Not sure how it works on fanatec but on TM wheels you set the total available damper in TM software...so 100. Then the in game value is a percentage of that. I have 80 in game because I like heavy steering. In truth, I am pushing this wheelbase too hard so it's a compromise.

If fanatec works the same then even at 100 in game you might only be getting your 5%, if that makes sense.

@Alex Hodgkinson is now using fanatec in development so he might be able to give a better answer.

General consensus is to use some in game damper and steering rack on 100. Adjust steering forces from there. Canned effects are to taste. I have most off but I like loads of kerb.

 

the fanatec is done on the harware with natural damper, it changes in real time

steering rack at 100 makes it feel like some cars have next to zero resistance to me

i'll try upping the natural damper to 20%

 

If you want some more explanation about good ffb settings, read this post.

 

i see thomas has the same opinion as me on understeer, default is way too high and makes some cars feel weightless

he uses tyre force instead of rack where as i use 50/50

 

His settings are a game changer for me.

 

As well as personal preference it seems like wheelbase type makes a lot of difference. When I moved from Logitech to TM I had to make a whole load of changes. I think with FFB there isn't a one size fits all option.

 

I'll have a go with no rack tonight, it's a constant evolution is ffb settings....

 

ive just been testing, with higher dampening

i reduced understeer down to 7%

all the cars actually feel connected to the road now

i have lateral on 60
vertical on 50
understeer 7
steering rack on 0

and adjust strength according to your wheel and then on a per car basis

the understeer effect in RR is the biggest culprit of poor ffb and feeling unconnected to the road in my opinion, with it significantly lower the cars feel weighty and connect to the road better

 

You don't have to understeer, so you can't feel understeer and you feel connected.

But, alright, understeer I have lowered to 20 and it's okay

 

yes but in RR it seems understeer effect comes in at the slightest hint of any tyre slip, it's far too overblown
