    Could you guys suggest me a good setting for the csw. I feel it too light with marussia and the force feedback seems to be too choppy. It seems that it will brake if i keep using with that setting

    I use defaults only messing with filter and multi for each car to find something you like. I try and use lowest filter and usually means lowering the multiplier for each car.
    Try something like 0 filter 0.75 multi.

    I use 450 degrees 100 force off or 0 for rest.

    are you guys using the same firmware??

    i don't have a csw but i have the csr-elite and i use the firmware 737 that dates back to pre-2012 as the ffb is best in rf2. Newer ones have both washed out ffb detail and strength. Perhaps the same for you.

    Yeah perhaps :

    I'm using latest firmware and beta drivers.

    I think windows 8.1 recent update broke some stuff ...

    Thanks for the tip, for the price of this stuff there should be a dedicated guy creating a firmware for rFactor2 ...

    Hi,

    you should always use 900 degrees default in the csw control panel. On wheel itself, keep degrees to off. > rF2 sets the lock automatically according to the car you use.
    This makes a bit difference in FFB.(in case it was set wrongly)

    For the rest, I use pretty values and play a bit with dampening(on the wheel) and forces(by using ingame multiplier > it's saved per car(if I remember right)... which makes it easier).
    However generally the default values (wheel) feel very good with rF2. That's why I'm a bit surprised by your statement. > As already recommended by other people, make sure to be on latest firmware and latest driver... your issue might be on that side.

    good luck

    I feel the same issue. If you are driving through a fast corner, you can feel s strong center force with a very good feeling of grip, taking slow corners results in a lack of feedback, nearly like the force feedback ist set to off.

    I don't have a issue rf2 ffb feels great for me Cracheur :), I set it to 450 in rf2 also for pretty much every car I find some of the higher degrees to much for what I'm used to, I prefer more sensitive steering. I will check it out what your saying though next time on but feels fine to me anyway, I get the best info from ffb that way with no damping and spring etc to.

    For me somethings missing i don't feel the car.

    Will try changing dampening to friction as said by someone.

    You guys dis tried this tip in the ini files??

    There are two available on the fanatec website but there's probably more if you just search for them in google.

    http://eu.fanatec.com/ClubSportWheelBaseEU (then go to downloads section and look at the left hand side)

    I know

    There are 2 versions for csw :
    V032
    V037

    For the drivers :
    Official v144
    Beta v174 with win8.1 support

    So, as I'm running 8.1, my setup is firmware v037 drivers beta 174

    Who has a different setup and he's happy with that?

    Thanks

    Not sure either but if i were you i would leave all the settings on the wheel itself to zero an in the case of ffb to 100. Reason being, if you change the ffb on the wheel it only clips the maximum force that will be generated by the motors. So for example if you set it to 80% on the wheel then any force that is 80% or greater sent from the game to the wheel will generate a constant and never increasing 80% force by the ffb motor. I guess it's there so that you can increase the overall ffb strength (perhaps to increase the feel and detail of the light forces) without overly increasing the highest end forces. It's a work around if you can't take the high end forces when doing this but i think it's a bit messy.

    uupps... (dont tell him bu tlet him try both, then we know at least;-))

    actually I can remember some issues with weird csw feeling at some time.
    What it did sounds a bit old-school: disconnected csw from usb, I un-installed driver, re-installed, put csw back in different usb port... all good again.

    I'm using latest firmware and latest drivers.
