This is - by far - the most in dept and well put together wheel tutorial for FM8 to this date. Also, by all what I've read and tested so far, it's the only one that actually gets all the settings CORRECTLY. It's honestly mind blowing to me, how many self proclaimed "sim racing content creators" out there put out similar guides in the last couple of days, that are just completely off and not correct about what setting does what. TLDR: Thanks, best guide, can recommend!
After watching many of these videos and feeling like all of the setups I’ve tried are crap, I’m really hoping that what you’re saying about this one is true cus man I just need a good feeling setup so I can actually start playing the game 😂
And thats why we watch him. His car setup guides have been instrumental in teaching me to better understand motor racing and cut down lap times This guy is top notch
@@TimmyTheSnail i think you wont be disappointed - do yourself a favour though, and actually WATCH the entire thing and try to understand the concepts explained here. Don't just simply copy and paste his base settings. While they are a very good starting point, you can (and should!) still further adjust to your liking. The tools are very well explained here. For example, i decided to go with much higher mechanical trail than him, despite being on a belt wheel, just because i liked the heavier feeling result more.
It seems the same as Forza 7, in which case I'd recommend checking out Blue028's video on FM7 FFB where he gets real in detail on what each setting actually does. Unless they changed it for FM8, which is possible, the FFB scale does not scale all effects, only certain ones.
Thank you so much for this video! Two days of testing setting suggestions by others, and now I finally have my Thrustmaster T300 feeling just right in Forza Motorsports after watching your video. You made it so easy to understand what each slider does, and made great suggestions for both newer direct-drive wheels, and older belt/gear driven wheels.
+1 also keen, I haven't touched anything other than mechanical trail, but I bumped it to 150 on my T300 based on other vids but obviously different to what is suggested here
finally someone that explains it in a very easy way to understand, and even consider every type of wheel so everyone can have a very good starting point in order to fine tune their game, thank you very much, Im subscribing right now.
Just used this guide to set up a G923. It feels really good. Cars communicate well through the wheel and you get a really good feeling of the limits of grip. I'll add this is my first wheel and pedal set up.
Did you make any adjustments in G-Hub? I just picked up the G923 and feel like I'm constantly on the edge of grip despite it not appearing that way. It's my first wheel, though, so I'm chalking it up to inexperience.
i found turning on traction control for gt cars is amazing also improving my braking and learning to trail break has helped alot to enter curves fast like w controller my g hub settings :50 sens 720 degree turning 20 center spring and torque 100 and sound 20@@Minerva___
Thank you, I drive for a living and was feeling like I was a total fraud. I have a pretty basic Logitech wheel and the gear settings worked really nicely. This transformed the game for me, thanks again!
Bro, these are the BEST settings so far I tried... I tried personnal settings and I wasn't happy with it, tried some I found on TH-cam, but yours, it's just "Perfect" ! Thanks mate
Oh man, tanks you for this. The FFB is so dialed in for me now. I've been sim racing for 3 years now, played em all from more sim-cade games like GT7 to full sims like iRacing and everything in between. This may sound crazy but I feel this is the best FFB I've experienced. Now before the pitchforks come im not claiming that Motosport has better FFB and physics than iRacing, but thanks to this guide my ol' TS-XW has never felt so perfectly connected with a virtual car. Hopefully I can use some if this new knowledge to get my settings just as dialed in with my other games. Edit: Just read some of the other comments and its seems like there are quite a few people with the TS-XW and they feel the same way, kinda interesting.
I wanted to say THANK YOU! I bought a wheel setup last year and was playing horizon and asetto and was struggling. I waited for Motorsports because I’ve grown up on it and thought I would have a better time. Initially it was good. I updated to your settings and now I am having a blast. The feel for the understeer has been a godsend and that is from your explanation. Very much looking forward to your tuning video so I can dial in more. Happy motoring!!!!
I've been needing something like this, actual explanations of what the settings are for! I noticed with my thrustmaster TX there was a horrible constant vibration when going perfectly straight when wheel damping was set to 100, dropped that down to 40 to cope but left the rest of the settings standard, going to get everything dialed in thanks to this video!!
Thank you! I am new to a direct drive wheel and was struggling to get the feel from my set-up that I wanted. Unless you understand what all of the settings mean, the descriptions provided are more confusing than enlightening. This was the best description of all of the setting I have ever seen. Again thank you!
Dude thank you so so much. You’re the only forza content creator with an actual good settings guide. But heck what am I saying all of your videos are top tier. My wheel feels absolutely fantastic using the settings you provided. I just got a g923 today along with a next level racing f-gt lite cockpit and I’m absolutely loving it! Thanks again and keep up the great work brotha!
I got a cheap Tm TMX on market place and have been messing with settings for like 6 hours. This has helped me develop a solid baseline to start and tweak moving forward. Awesome video and breakdown, thanks man!
I really like that you mentioned the differences in settings for budget wheels and better wheels. I just got my very first wheel, so i obviously didn't wanna break the bank immediately, because i am not even sure how much I'm gonna like it. I went with the logitech g923 to start with. Thank you for this guide!
Thank you for not just saying "run this" but you gave us the way to adjust to our preferences with a good starter. Hats off to you good sir, great video and solid guide 👌🏻 as always...
TY so much for this video. Been playing the past few days and everything felt so unnatural especially when braking into corners. This fixed every issue I had with my G29, it feels so responsive now
How are you using the g29? What adapter are you using? The one I have must not work very good because forza feels like it's from 2003 in comparison to gran turismo 7
Thank you for this I started using these on Sunday and you have the best breakdown of the settings I have found yet also your baselines provided me with the perfect starting point on my g920. Made a few tweaks for personal preference but since using these I have logged maybe 20 to 30 hour, can actually use my sim rig instead of it collecting dust and was able to improve my lap times consistently by anywhere from 1 to 5 seconds depending on the track.
I tried other settings from another channel and the settings were nowhere near those ones! Just tried them on maple valley and this is a game changer! I can actually have a sensation from the track instead of only sounds. Thank you!
Dude I saw this video and applied it about 3 nights ago, let me just say thank you so much. The explanation is the key part of this video. Not just set these here and don't ask why lol You did it perfectly, explained what each are and the difference of gear/belt vs the setting it should take on a direct drive that offers more power. Had to come back and drop the like and comment. It's crazy how getting the FFB right I'm this game just changes how much better you can learn to push for faster times
Thanks man. By far the best explained video out right now. I'm using a Thrustmaster TS-XW, and I've finally got really good FFB feel thanks to this vid.
I love how you explain everything so well in the video. However I'm on pc and my wheel base is set to 5nm, in game forcefeedback I put it on 150. But my settings are different than your recommended settings but I love how they are now. Winning many races with a rating of 4.980 on direct drive wheel I'm happy.
Wow! This is the best explanation I have ever watched. Purely professional! Not that BS of "I like, I think", when the person talking about it says it feels so real and, in fact, doesn't even know how to drive in real life. Awesome job!
This is a good guide, I just threw some settings from reddit in and worked with that on a G29, which worked well enough. Now if only manual with clutch could get fixed so my shifts don't take like 2 seconds at the minimum.
Thank you so much for including notes for older gear driven wheels. And then detailing each setting so we can understand how you came to your settings. I've been hunting for this exact video for a while now.
Well put together, thank you. I have been watching a number of other guides, all of which seem to indulge drastic changes, or wildly ranging values from one setting to the next in order to achieve a ‘feeling’ of which isn’t properly explained or substantiated. In your video, you explained the specific characteristics of each value and how the proposed settings influence them, which is exactly what I was looking for 👍
This was GREAT! I got a wheel a few months ago and have been eagerly awaiting the Forza release. At first I was very disappointed. This video saved the day!! Thanks SO much!!
Thank you for this, did some adjustments based off now what I believe to be direct driven settings. Which everything helps and is appreciated. This actually is very complex to what type of wheel you are on. Just getting started in the sim portion of racing .
thank you so much for this man ! completely changed the game for me, i was struggling to find a setting that feels natural, but this video gave me a great base setup to work off of, and now i've got it to my exact preference. game was almost unplayable for me until i found this video
Thank you for detailling what the settings do. This, together with a decent starting point, should get me started easily in a few days when the game goes into regular release! Can't help but cringe at all the people telling you to max out FFB scale and leave center spring on... like, come on.
Been waiting for this video for a while now since I knew it would be very useful. I used your guide for FH5 which helped significantly. So thanks as always Hoki and I can't wait to join in on Tuesday
I tried your settings for a G920 and after changing the Vibration to 30 and leaving CSS at 0 it's pretty much perfect. I can actually feel the ripples now instead of just hearing them.
Great video, thank you. I'm new to wheel at all. Bought a Logitech G923 and used your settings as a starting point. Works instantly very well. Probably i may change settings over time with experience, but this is an excellent starting point.
I have been playing Horizon 5 for about a year and Motorsports since it came out struggled with the settings tremendously however after just following a little quick setup today it's much better
Thank you big time for your hard work, the effort you put into this video speaks for itself. I'm in my 60's and 5 years ago or so I purchased Fanatec V2 servo, V3 pedals, shifter and obutto rig, but never really took a deep dive into the settings. Haven't really used the rig in several years but with FM release I thought I give it another go. Right off the bat the handling was bad I tried a few things, probably made it worse, anyway your instructions and explanations have now allowed me to drive and race and it feels really good. One question is "how does steering sensitivity (on wheel ) affect the overall turning radius of the car? I've had it set at 750 but would like to know if it can be improved. Be safe and keep up the awesome work.
Thank you, I was not liking the game on my wheel and had started playing on controller. Finally have the wheel feeling as good as I hoped. Wheel DD Pro.
Oh man, that's so much better. I find it odd that so many others have such different settings? This is by far the best I've tried. Like how you explained to use Force Feedback slider as your over all volume.
Thank you for this! I appreciate the way you organized the vid and how much time you went into explaining each setting. With my previous wheel setting, I was having difficulty feeling when the point of oversteer was, but with your settings im able to feel it. Thanks again for the work you put into helping the community.
WE DO NOT DESERVE YOU. For real, though, this helped me a ton. Forza's descriptions of these adjustments are not clear at all and I'm pretty sure are mostly copy pasted from FM7 ("from the ground up" my ass). Keep up the amazing work!
Here sir, have a like! Excellent baselines and with some custom tweaking to personal preferrence, it made my old csw 2.5 feel very nice. I actually did not think forza could ever feel this good, it is not assetto corsa but i gotta admit, it is up there. Great video❤
@@akaspoonn the difference between forza and ac ffb is that forza is using all sorts of "artificial" elements to give you the different sensatsions of the car...in a way its cool but but true ffb in AC just feels better imo. But here are my AC settings: Wheelbase: SEN 900, FFB 100, DRI 2, FOR 100, DPR 100, SPR 100, BRF what ever you like the best. AC Settings: Gain 65% (also have to adjust per car setting but usually 75%) works best for me. Filter 0, Minimum force 0, all the effects 0, enhanced understeer effect 0 and soft lock is activated. Center boost range is 10% and experimental settings are on with gyroscopic effect. In this setting Damper gain is 100% Bare in mind, order of these settings are as displayed in Content Manager. I feel like even if you dont like these settings right away, it gives u a good baseline to work from.
Ok this made mine feel dam good...... I have a T248 set at full ff and at ff3 setting..... And yes the center spring scale helps a crap load alot I crank mine to max Vibration Scale 50 Force Feedback Scale 125 Steering Self Alignment 33 Mechanical Trail Scale 200 Pneumatic Trail Scale 100 Road Feel Scale 200 Load Sensitivity 70 Wheel Damping Scale 100 Center Spring Scale 200 Dynamic Damper Behavior 70 Steering Sensitivity 50 Steering Linearity 50
Thank you! I have a Thrustmaster T248. I have tested every setting posted online as well as my own experiments. I dialed it in very nicely following this video. This is now my favorite racing game with a wheel (I have plenty).
This was really helpful, thank you! Do you have any tips for when oversteering/drifting? I find it hard to not overcorrect or end up in "tank slappers". The counter steering feeling isn't quite right to me and wondering which settings would most effect this?
Great video especially having just bought the game. I won’t have to spend hours trying to figure out the settings and I can just jump into a race once it finishes downloading the 100+gb…
So, I've got this game for free through gamepass and my buddy and I both just got Moza R5 wheels. We've tried out assetto, auto mobilista, etc. but find that the multiplayer aspect (having to choose a specific server to join) and the complexity and annoyance of having to constantly back out to change settings, adjust ffb, etc. is really frustrating. Ease of use is definitely on the low end, though the FFB is incredibly detailed and realistic. We've been spending most our time in Forza Horizon 5, simply for the ease of playing together, variety of surfaces/cars/race types, ease of adjusting settings, and so on. However, the FFB leaves a lot to be desired in comparison to Assetto. Obviously this is understandable because its more of an arcade, but I have felt for many years that Horizon needs to update its FFB engine. Anyway, I have thought about playing Forza Motorsport, because I am under the assumption that the FFB is at least slightly more realistic and ease of use in terms of playing together, changing settings, etc. is still there and far better than Assetto, but I have heard mixed reviews about the game itself. Is Forza Motorsport a bad experience, or are people just complaining because it wasnt necessarily all they were hoping for? Was it maybe bad at launch and since gotten better? I'm curious what you think is a good balance when it comes to ease of use for Novice sim racers and also detailed FFB. Thanks!
Great video, would love to see one about pedals, it might just be me my break and throttle are extremely sensitive. im not as knowledgeable on these types of things on what settings to change where i dont have to "Big toe" the brake and throttle like im in spongebob and i have messed around with the settings but figured you the internet knows best.
It's crazy how different setups vary for wheels and different drivers. I have a Logitech G920 and my setup is way different than some of your recommendations here. I have been racing in online Forza lobbies for years and feel like I have a pretty quick setup. First I don't run sim steering because I'm a veteran of online lobbies. I know first hand that when someone bashes into you. (and they will..) Sim steering is much harder to recover and in previous games has always felt to snappy. I haven't played with it to much here. But if you do a lot of online racing normal steering is usually better. I tuned my vibration scale all the way down because I think a properly tuned wheel doesn't need extra vibration. I agree force feedback is like a master volume switch. Mine is relatively low as I use the other adjustments to fine tune my wheels overall feel. Mechanical and pneumatic scales I agree are probably some of the most important tuning calibrations for this game. I don't believe belt and gear setups benefit from lower mechanical and higher pneumatic settings though. My mechanical is almost maxed out because I prefer to have as much machine feedback as my wheel will allow. and pneumatic settings I found work best lowered at a ratio of about 110-130 points below my mechanical setting. It creates a sweet spot where you have the mechanical weight of the car and the assistance, or feeling of power steering. Road feel is a setting I think should be mostly left alone until all your other wheel tuning is done. If after you've made all your adjustments you still don't feel the road enough then you can come back to this. I think load sensitivity should always be turned up close to if not the maximum. The more feel for tire load changes the better. This is why your overall force feedback scale is so important to get right. I have my wheel dampening maxed out the complete opposite of what you suggest. This might be because I have a gear driven wheel and this is probably very different for direct drive wheels. My wheel feels very well balanced with this turned up. I would play with this setting before I adjusted force feedback scale to set your road feel and wheel resistance. I do agree with you that center spring values are not needed if your wheel is tuned properly. Having this to high can cause some wheels to shudder and bounce in the center. I have my dynamic damper behaviour all the way up because of how much I have my wheel damping scale turned up. Having this higher preserves the detail in your wheel when tires start to slip. This seems pretty important to me. I have my steering sensitivity turned all the way up too. This may be different for direct drive wheels. But having a sensitive steering wheel that responds to the smallest input from the driver is also very important to me. All and all I think this is a good video. But, I think I will stick with my setup. It's gotten me a few top ten leaderboard times so far this week and I love how the cars feel in this game with my setup.
Amazing work, got some really good settings for myself on my CSL Elite (the belt drive one) much more enjoyable to play with the wheel now! Its not AC but its much better than "good enough" and miles better than previous forza games. Your explanation was also awesome for helping explain what all the feedback its giving is indicating which helpedy driving immensely. I personally like a bit of centering spring, just feels less "floaty" for me and im more precise with it. Maybe one of these day ill pony up for a DD.
@@FUTRat-eg7dx 10, it's just enough to have some on center feel that the game lacks without it. You could go a bit more without it affecting other things too much though. Also prevents the death wobble at low speeds.
Well done. Thanks for the tips. I've been waiting for my CSL DD because I thought my G920 was just complete shit (which it still is) but it atleast feels better.
brother THANK YOU, all these goof balls uploading all these terrible settings was about to have me being a controller boi

thank you so much for this man ! completely changed the game for me, i was struggling to find a setting that feels natural, but this video gave me a great base setup to work off of, and now i've got it to my exact preference. game was almost unplayable for me until i found this video
Thank you very much on this guide and the baseline guide you posted on reddit for cars on FM8.
Such a good video. A quick setting guide and explanation to fine tune per individual. Exactly how ffb videos need to be.
Thank you for detailling what the settings do. This, together with a decent starting point, should get me started easily in a few days when the game goes into regular release!
Can't help but cringe at all the people telling you to max out FFB scale and leave center spring on... like, come on.
In FM7, I don't even think the center spring worked.
Been waiting for this video for a while now since I knew it would be very useful. I used your guide for FH5 which helped significantly. So thanks as always Hoki and I can't wait to join in on Tuesday
this was needed fr i watched like 5 ppl just talk nonsense
I tried your settings for a G920 and after changing the Vibration to 30 and leaving CSS at 0 it's pretty much perfect. I can actually feel the ripples now instead of just hearing them.
What you mean by scc? Damn I'm struggling with my G920. I always used a controller and since yesterday I have a wheel. Is scc center spring scale?
@@stabilozzguessing center spring scale
Wow , 😅 these settings made my wheel feel so different, like butter. So smooth and i can actually feel the road 😮
Omg! It's so much better on ts-xw from Thrustmaster with this settings!! Many thanks 🎉
Great video, thank you. I'm new to wheel at all. Bought a Logitech G923 and used your settings as a starting point. Works instantly very well. Probably i may change settings over time with experience, but this is an excellent starting point.
I have been playing Horizon 5 for about a year and Motorsports since it came out struggled with the settings tremendously however after just following a little quick setup today it's much better
Omg I was watching a wheel setting video of yours from a while ago earlier today this updated guide will be better
Thank you big time for your hard work, the effort you put into this video speaks for itself. I'm in my 60's and 5 years ago or so I purchased Fanatec V2 servo, V3 pedals, shifter and obutto rig, but never really took a deep dive into the settings. Haven't really used the rig in several years but with FM release I thought I give it another go. Right off the bat the handling was bad I tried a few things, probably made it worse, anyway your instructions and explanations have now allowed me to drive and race and it feels really good. One question is "how does steering sensitivity (on wheel ) affect the overall turning radius of the car? I've had it set at 750 but would like to know if it can be improved. Be safe and keep up the awesome work.
Brotha, thank you. I used your wheel settings on my gt dd pro, and just amazing! Feels close to my ff on AC
Thank you, I was not liking the game on my wheel and had started playing on controller. Finally have the wheel feeling as good as I hoped. Wheel DD Pro.
Oh man, that's so much better. I find it odd that so many others have such different settings? This is by far the best I've tried. Like how you explained to use Force Feedback slider as your over all volume.
Thanks
Thank you for this! I appreciate the way you organized the vid and how much time you went into explaining each setting. With my previous wheel setting, I was having difficulty feeling when the point of oversteer was, but with your settings im able to feel it. Thanks again for the work you put into helping the community.
My guy!! Always coming in with the great settings guides
These settings feel strong and detailed even on my g923. Little rumbly but thats hardware 😂 thank you
Big thumbs up. Imo the best wheel settings guide. Thx :)
Thank you, bro ... I tried various settings, but yours are by far the best... I have a logitech g pro
thank you, In this settings i found my missing 6seconds (yes i talk about 6sec, not 6/10's) at kyalamie (Lambo; comp. ACC). Feels good man 😊
Always the goat when it comes to wheel settings thank you man, you’re the OG lol
Your DD settings for my ts-xw work a treat! Tried the belt Drive settings but didn’t feel as nice
Thanks for this awesome video!! Your explanation for every setting is exactly what I was looking for!
Big Tks from a causal player.
Save my gaming experience,you good man
Wish a good day🎉
anyone know my wheel is always off 6-10 degrees to the left in game? calibrated before hand and it feels correct until i press start.
How about the actual wheel settings? If possible for fanatec especially
100% nailed it, thanks heaps, g920 feels incredible!!!
What settings did you end up with? I have a g920 also.
was going to set my wheel up this weekend! thank you for some good tips!
That Lynk & Co TCR looks so good 😍
WE DO NOT DESERVE YOU.
For real, though, this helped me a ton. Forza's descriptions of these adjustments are not clear at all and I'm pretty sure are mostly copy pasted from FM7 ("from the ground up" my ass).
Keep up the amazing work!
Great vid. What are the next guides planned?
Just wow man awsome feels so much better now. Thankyou! Also do you have a drifting settings guide aswel man, topbloke!
Here sir, have a like! Excellent baselines and with some custom tweaking to personal preferrence, it made my old csw 2.5 feel very nice. I actually did not think forza could ever feel this good, it is not assetto corsa but i gotta admit, it is up there. Great video❤
Mind sharing your Assetto Corsa settings? I have the CSW V2.5 and I feel like Forza FFB feels better than Assetto Corsa.
@@akaspoonn the difference between forza and ac ffb is that forza is using all sorts of "artificial" elements to give you the different sensatsions of the car...in a way its cool but but true ffb in AC just feels better imo. But here are my AC settings:
Wheelbase: SEN 900, FFB 100, DRI 2, FOR 100, DPR 100, SPR 100, BRF what ever you like the best.
AC Settings: Gain 65% (also have to adjust per car setting but usually 75%) works best for me. Filter 0, Minimum force 0, all the effects 0, enhanced understeer effect 0 and soft lock is activated.
Center boost range is 10% and experimental settings are on with gyroscopic effect. In this setting Damper gain is 100%
Bare in mind, order of these settings are as displayed in Content Manager.
I feel like even if you dont like these settings right away, it gives u a good baseline to work from.
Thank you sir! You saved me from giving up on this game!!!
Great settings, perfect video, chapeau and thanks!
Ok this made mine feel dam good...... I have a T248 set at full ff and at ff3 setting..... And yes the center spring scale helps a crap load alot I crank mine to max

Do you have to change anything in the Thrustmaster control panel ?
Thank you! I have a Thrustmaster T248. I have tested every setting posted online as well as my own experiments. I dialed it in very nicely following this video. This is now my favorite racing game with a wheel (I have plenty).
Oscar has the senna and schumacher vibe, feels like he brings something extra to the table.
This was really helpful, thank you! Do you have any tips for when oversteering/drifting? I find it hard to not overcorrect or end up in "tank slappers". The counter steering feeling isn't quite right to me and wondering which settings would most effect this?
I'm glad I found this has helped so much
Fantastic info. Thanks so much :)
THANK YOU.
Your settings are perfect 😍😍
honest to jebuz this video need to be in the actual game as a tutorial when setting up a wheel. good shit
Great video especially having just bought the game. I won’t have to spend hours trying to figure out the settings and I can just jump into a race once it finishes downloading the 100+gb…
So, I've got this game for free through gamepass and my buddy and I both just got Moza R5 wheels. We've tried out assetto, auto mobilista, etc. but find that the multiplayer aspect (having to choose a specific server to join) and the complexity and annoyance of having to constantly back out to change settings, adjust ffb, etc. is really frustrating. Ease of use is definitely on the low end, though the FFB is incredibly detailed and realistic.
We've been spending most our time in Forza Horizon 5, simply for the ease of playing together, variety of surfaces/cars/race types, ease of adjusting settings, and so on. However, the FFB leaves a lot to be desired in comparison to Assetto. Obviously this is understandable because its more of an arcade, but I have felt for many years that Horizon needs to update its FFB engine. Anyway, I have thought about playing Forza Motorsport, because I am under the assumption that the FFB is at least slightly more realistic and ease of use in terms of playing together, changing settings, etc. is still there and far better than Assetto, but I have heard mixed reviews about the game itself.
Is Forza Motorsport a bad experience, or are people just complaining because it wasnt necessarily all they were hoping for? Was it maybe bad at launch and since gotten better? I'm curious what you think is a good balance when it comes to ease of use for Novice sim racers and also detailed FFB.
Thanks!
Great video, would love to see one about pedals, it might just be me my break and throttle are extremely sensitive.
im not as knowledgeable on these types of things on what settings to change where i dont have to "Big toe" the brake and throttle like im in spongebob and i have messed around with the settings but figured you the internet knows best.
Excellent tutorial my guy
Great job this was welcomed 🙌
Welp hopefully this good i got mine pretty dialed in already but there's still room for improvement
It's crazy how different setups vary for wheels and different drivers. I have a Logitech G920 and my setup is way different than some of your recommendations here. I have been racing in online Forza lobbies for years and feel like I have a pretty quick setup. First I don't run sim steering because I'm a veteran of online lobbies. I know first hand that when someone bashes into you. (and they will..) Sim steering is much harder to recover and in previous games has always felt to snappy. I haven't played with it to much here. But if you do a lot of online racing normal steering is usually better.
I tuned my vibration scale all the way down because I think a properly tuned wheel doesn't need extra vibration. I agree force feedback is like a master volume switch. Mine is relatively low as I use the other adjustments to fine tune my wheels overall feel. Mechanical and pneumatic scales I agree are probably some of the most important tuning calibrations for this game. I don't believe belt and gear setups benefit from lower mechanical and higher pneumatic settings though. My mechanical is almost maxed out because I prefer to have as much machine feedback as my wheel will allow. and pneumatic settings I found work best lowered at a ratio of about 110-130 points below my mechanical setting. It creates a sweet spot where you have the mechanical weight of the car and the assistance, or feeling of power steering.
Road feel is a setting I think should be mostly left alone until all your other wheel tuning is done. If after you've made all your adjustments you still don't feel the road enough then you can come back to this. I think load sensitivity should always be turned up close to if not the maximum. The more feel for tire load changes the better. This is why your overall force feedback scale is so important to get right.
I have my wheel dampening maxed out the complete opposite of what you suggest. This might be because I have a gear driven wheel and this is probably very different for direct drive wheels. My wheel feels very well balanced with this turned up. I would play with this setting before I adjusted force feedback scale to set your road feel and wheel resistance. I do agree with you that center spring values are not needed if your wheel is tuned properly. Having this to high can cause some wheels to shudder and bounce in the center.
I have my dynamic damper behaviour all the way up because of how much I have my wheel damping scale turned up. Having this higher preserves the detail in your wheel when tires start to slip. This seems pretty important to me. I have my steering sensitivity turned all the way up too. This may be different for direct drive wheels. But having a sensitive steering wheel that responds to the smallest input from the driver is also very important to me.
All and all I think this is a good video. But, I think I will stick with my setup. It's gotten me a few top ten leaderboard times so far this week and I love how the cars feel in this game with my setup.
Could you tell me your settings so that i can try if it works for me?
Newbie here. I just got the g923. Can you post your settings so I can try to match since we have a similar wheel
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤🎉
Amazing work, got some really good settings for myself on my CSL Elite (the belt drive one) much more enjoyable to play with the wheel now!
Its not AC but its much better than "good enough" and miles better than previous forza games. Your explanation was also awesome for helping explain what all the feedback its giving is indicating which helpedy driving immensely.
I personally like a bit of centering spring, just feels less "floaty" for me and im more precise with it. Maybe one of these day ill pony up for a DD.
@@FUTRat-eg7dx 10, it's just enough to have some on center feel that the game lacks without it. You could go a bit more without it affecting other things too much though. Also prevents the death wobble at low speeds.
Well done. Thanks for the tips. I've been waiting for my CSL DD because I thought my G920 was just complete shit (which it still is) but it atleast feels better.
