Setting your FFB in game for any wheel

I created a video to help wheel users set their FFB. It’s long, so I’ve added timestamps to help you skip around. I’m not a professional youtuber, so production quality is low. If you like geeking out and want the best FFB settings you can get for you, you’ll find this useful.

Mechanical Trail is the key for feeling in control of the car. This post would be an eternity if I went into detail with everything already in the video, but I will say dialing in mechanical trail first, and then adding everything else in slowly for the detail you need to understand traction loss, suspension detail, and road feel is the best way to go in my opinion.

I also cover setting your degree of rotation properly to the car to get a 1 to 1 rotation with the cockpit in game car wheel. A lot of the race cars have a much lower DoR than the default 900 and you need to set them up by car as the game doesn’t do it for you. This is the reason why the Cadillac in the game intro was so hard to turn on a wheel.

Did you manage to get any feeling of curbs?
They are loud, and i feel them with my SimHub Bass Shaker (via UDP output), but almost nothing on my wheel.

I opened a thread, today
Could you please have a look?

I’m a bit confused, no matter what setting I have
I need to select this " custom input 1 " everytime when I open the game, which is annoying
Thank you in advance

I was able to. I had to dial it back to not upset my wheel. It may depend on your wheel. Make sure you aren’t clipping using the in game telemetry. If you are clipping, all you will feel is max turning torque with zero detail.

I’m not sure. My wheel inputs detected and worked automatically. The only issue I’ve had is the game resetting my deadzones everytime I start up. I remember a similar issue to this in FH5, where I haad to keep selecting custom everytime as it reset to default every new session, but that got fixed at some point.

Is there a config file you can set to ‘read only’?

is the question for me?
