How do you rate rf2 compatibility with this wheel?

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 3

  4. 4

    I think there are probably better options but at least in my case i don't get the rattling.
    At least with the settings i use i don't. I just went in & tested FEI since I've mostly kept it off since day one & at least with my settings even turning FEI on i don't really get rattling there is a small sound difference with it on or off but not rattling more so like you can hear the internals working but i'd say the fan makes more noise. But i don't think FEI is worth having on anyways. For me it just feels like it adds a little more chatter to the wheel but not in a way that it's giving any real useful information.
    There are other nice options out there & but if you want fanatec i would recommend skipping the CSL elite & go to the Clubsport if it's in the budget. As the CSL is certainly the lesser quality wheel in terms of materials & durability (i have had to replace a faulty position sensor & a cracked plastic piece).
    I only went with it since it was $300 for the base P1 wheel & 2 pedal set on black friday.
    With that said i am still satisfied with the wheels performance & don't have the issues others are experiencing.
    I do remember it sounding & feeling completely horrific the first time i started the demo up with the wheel before i knew how to setup ffb. Then when i bought rF2 i was able to mess with the FFB settings & have had a good experience every since.

    After a whole summer without simracing, I come back and can play rF2 again only thanks to you. With these settings, the sim is playable again. FFB isn't perfect and it varies from cars to cars, but I can live with it. Thank you very much.
    In the end it was all about smoothing. I didn't want to go higher than 4, but as you have proved, albeit a very high number and some loss of details, 16 eliminates the shakings and the rattling. I'll try to lower it a bit, but anyway this is a good starting point.
    Again, thank you very much.

    I set my filtering in-game to 15 as well at the moment, and it works quite well to solve the rattling issues. I don't know how much detail I'm losing, but it doesn't feel to bad and it's actually quite enjoyable now.

    Bump to this thread.
    I "upgraded" from Logitech G27 to CSL Elite + Mclaren GT3 wheel.
    Having tried all possible settings and controller.json variables I am still getting a very dampened, vague, springy feel from all cars. Very strong passive centring force, but no detailed ffb in the middle of corners
    SPRING, DAMPER settings at 0 ofcourse, FFB, FORCE high and F.EFF:INT at 100.
    All spring, damper multipliers at 0 in .json (is this correct to get minimal dampening?) If i set it at anything else then its even worse.
    Some say its firmware problems and the wheel. But can it be? No answer from fanatec.
    Been driving for few days now and going back to G27 there is an instant contrast in much more detailed FFB.

    I also drive Assetto Corsa, I would say the effect is smaller there, it feels allright, but G27 still feels more detailed. The logitech just has some ffb deadzone but all modern simulators have minimum torque settings which fix that, so net result is G27 being superior in all ways at the moment... unreal

    What i really can't feel in the car is the tire limit, it sort of snaps without any feel in the wheel and there i am guessing how to straighten it. That might be down to setup??

    Rim settings
    SEN 540 (car specific)
    FF 075
    SHO OFF
    ABS OFF
    DR1 OFF
    FOR 040
    SPR 20-30
    DPR OFF
    FEI OFF

    Game settings
    FFB Smoothing 0
    FFB Multiplier 1.00 (adjust in car)
    FFB Min Torque 2.5

    Now get on track and say Oh My God I can feel every little detail.
    If the FFB is not strong enough to your liking adjust FOR up only.
    If the return to center is not strong enough adjust SPR up only.

    Will give this a shot.
    Just got the wheel to “upgrade” from a T300rs (which was miles better out of the box)....o_O

    Thanks. That was a good starting point.

    Finally i was able to get the almost perfect feeling from the CSL elite (PS4) in RF2 with the lastest CSL firmware (436) released (2 weeks ago)

    Wheel settings:

    Sen: Aut
    FF 85
    Sho: off (since not using CSP wheel)
    Abs: 20
    Dri: off
    For: 100
    Spr: off (not really needed in rf2)
    Dpr: off (not really needed in rf2)
    Fei: off

    Game settings:
    Steering rate 21%
    Car specific FFB mult: 0.50 - 0.6x
    Ffb smoothing: 0
    FFB minimum torque: 0.0 %

    Hope this helps

      },
    I spent quite some time testing through these settings, so if anyone has solid knowledge about these settings I'm very interest in that persons detailed feedback, otherwise ofc also about how these settings feel.

    They are a big compromise, it still rattles a bit on some f*ck*d up custom mod tracks or when going back from the grass on track, but I think I managed to keep life of the original settings.

    Set FEI to zero.

    Which basically means "just kill your FFB and make your base useless". Really, rattling is annoying, but removing almost every FFB effect is not the solution to go.
