Guide: Optimal FFB settings for rFactor 2 - The key to being in the "Zone" :D

+1.

As a CSR user it would be good to know.

 

Hi,
For all g27 users, try to lower FFB force in Logitech profiler to 99%, STM 0,15000 and ffb multi 0,46-0,47 for marussia. Almost non deadzone, and good feel of the car. U can also try with ffb force at 100%, but i found that with 99% its quite better. Share your feelings please.

 

Back from Margret River, had no internet for a week.

Those pointing out the benefits of the stm, do not forget that the ffb clipping is a major issue as well but is not immediately apparent to you as much as the stm. But in terms of pace, fast corners are where the most time is lost (or gained if you drive them well) which means getting the ffb optimised for those areas are most critical to fast corner tracks. STM is more for the slow corner tracks.

I still think the ffb clipping issue is more important but the stm is also crucial, especially for old wheel users such as g25, dfgt, etc.

 

I will test.

 

I forgot to mention. FFB Smoothing 0, its crucial

 

Anyone has settings for CSW? Preferably on file which I could just drop in.

 

I use 91% in profiler, according to wheelcheck it's the most linear setting that still maintains the maximum force at full ffb signal (90% and lower and you lose out on top forces). It does have a little more deadzone than 99% so you have to use higher STM to compensate.

 

Can u show a graph? I was testing my wheel with wheelcheck and 100%, 99% are the most linear for me. Also whats your rotation degree? I found that when i set rotation to 360 the graph is far different than at 900.
Maybe i am doing something wrong

I cant show it right now since i am out for holidays, but will provide it on Tuesday

 

I tested with the Kart and it seems very good for me compare to my previous settings. The dead zone is close to be removed, and the forces are good in the wheel (FFB Mult for the Kart at 1.0)
I reduce my lap times by 1 second !!! And I'm more consistant in lap series.

I tested also 91% in profiler, and you feel a little bit the bump of the track but I loose in accuracy at the dead zone. So 99% is the better compromise for the Kart, I will test others cars now to check if it's OK too.

 

If you use lower overall strength in the profiler, the deadzone region increases and so you have to increase the STM to achieve the same deadzone removal result. So as long as 91% has the same max force output as 99%, you can use 91% with a larger STM value for the benefit of the better linearity (if you want).

 

my wheel:
Fanatec CSW, GT2 rim
driver 177, wheel angle 900, dampening 0
firmware 37
on the wheel settings: everything off, except FF and FOR both on 100
in game settings: FFB multiplier usually between 0,7-1 depending on the car), smoothing 0, vehicle set on
controller.ini: STM 0,00315
I use fanaleds but I think it is not related to FFB, just to complete the picture

 

With FFB smoothing 0 I have too much rattling in my G27 specially over the curbs so I set it to 1 or 2 !

 

I'm not an expert, but I think that the dead zone is a hardware related thing than a firmware thing@

 

Correct but Logitech could eradicate the center slack patch if they wanted with a firmware/software update.

Sometimes it feels like the CSR Elite has the same problem.......

 

anyone?

 

Sorry MarcG i don't know if those are the default settings (can't check for you, 7000 miles away) but if they are then it's fine.

 

yeah I think they're default never changed them myself, just wondered if anyone had any more info on them specifically. no worries

 

I guess sensitivity is an exponential curve type thing. Speed sensitivity will be what it says, less sensitive at high speed, I guess for controller users.
I would be interested to find out what Steering rate means, the name and default of 20% isn't giving anything away!

 

How do you measure max force output?

 

Thanks again! That's 0.03000 correct?
