How to use these FFB settings
Every profile here is a starting point, not a prescription. Force feedback is subjective. Two people on the same wheelbase will prefer different tuning. What these profiles give you is a known-good baseline from someone who has spent time with that wheelbase and sim combination, so you're not starting from zero.
Select your brand and wheelbase from the dropdowns. Then pick your sim. If multiple profiles exist for that combo, you'll see tabs for each one, with a confidence rating indicating how well-sourced that profile is. Strong means multiple independent sources agree. Moderate means one solid source. Weak means community-reported with limited verification.
Wheelbase software vs in-sim settings
Every profile is split into two sections. The wheelbase software settings (Fanatec Control Panel, Moza Pit House, Simucube TrueDrive, etc.) control the base-level torque, damping, and filtering before the signal reaches the game. The in-sim settings control how the game generates the FFB signal. Both need to be right. Getting one perfect and the other wrong still produces poor feel.
As a general rule: set the wheelbase software to be as transparent as possible (low filtering, low damping, full torque range), then let the sim do the work. The specifics vary by brand. Fanatec's interpolation filter, for example, can help smooth out lower-resolution sims like ACC, whilst Simucube users typically run TrueDrive with minimal processing.
Car class adjustments
Some profiles include per-car-class adjustments. A GT3 car at Spa puts very different demands on your FFB than a Formula car at Monaco. If the profile notes say "reduce overall strength by 10% for open-wheelers", that's because the higher downforce and lighter steering loads mean the same torque setting will clip more often. Watch for these.
What the confidence ratings mean
- Strong
- Multiple independent sources (YouTube reviewers, forum threads, manufacturer recommendations) agree on these values. You can use them with high confidence as a starting point.
- Moderate
- One reputable source or a well-regarded community member has shared these settings. Reliable, but less cross-verified.
- Weak
- Community-reported with limited independent verification. Treat as a rough guide. Your mileage will vary more.
