A couple weeks ago I was racing with everything checked and turned all the way up. I realized something was seriously wrong when my wheel would rotate on its own when I was not moving. I've been messing with the settings a bit, but now I feel like I really have it toned in. Thank you
Great video, many thanks. Within 10 minutes of making your recommended changes I reduced my best lap round Summit Point in the MX5 by 1.5 seconds and it felt safe and not right on the edge like before 😀
I've used that Wheelcheck tool before together with LUT generator to setup my G29 in Assetto Corsa. It completely changed the feel of ffb (in positive way) like I would spend much more money for new wheel. Pure magic :)
you would not believe how much of a difference this made for me......the game is so much more fun. so much more consistent now. thank you so much....love videos man
Got my fanatec wheel setup using this method I had the linear test display deltaX numbers at 50 (.5 in iracing menu) same thing with min force test (-.5) recommended ffb for mx-5 global was 26.2 and i have 0 damper on the wheel itself and iracing menu and re-ran tsukuba after everything was said and done was able to obtain a 1.04.6 w/ the stock mx-5 global setup truly a believer in setting things up right now. Figured i'd share my success story, and great video! will share with friends.
This is a great video!!! I know it’s an older video. I’m new to iRacing and have a G920 that I was getting very frustrated with. I tried to follow other videos to no success. I followed your tutorial in this video step by step and worked perfectly! I can actually race competitively and the wheel feels great (I know, for a low end wheel). Thank you so much for this video!
THIS was unbelievable useful for me, thank you very much I pretty much got all my settings wrong. I knew I wasn't liking my force feedback, but I didn't really know what settings I should put. Now I know, and the car feels a bit different, and I feel more confident. Also, I feel my times are more constant, and I can correct better my mistakes. Awesome job, you gained another sub today, have a nice day!
Man, this is awesome. I spent the evening calibrating and adjusting for a few cars. What a huge change. I do mostly paved ovals and noticed I was catching a lot more slides and they were a lot less dramatic
Wow. I've been driving in iRacing for about 6 months. Until I saw this video, I didn't even know I'd had it set up all wrong. I was using a one-size-fits-all for all cars, and the strength set up completely wrong, had damping and min force WAY up which isn't even needed on my CSL wheelbase. The best tip by far was having a per-car setup, and letting iRacing suggest the strength. This has improved my consistency dramatically, and my lap times by at least a couple of seconds. Cheers, Dave! :D
David Sampson hey David I have a g920 that I’m running a wheelcheck on. My first number is coming up at 1 percent not 17 percent like you mentioned. What am I doing wrong?
@@Sampsoid my wheel check has letters x and y in the position and not numbers? It just sits there and will not move? any help would be greatly appreciated sir
Wanted to say THANK YOU! I could tell the difference in the first corner I took. Haven't jumped into a test session yet, but I know after a little practice it will make a big difference in my speed. Thank you again.
@@Sampsoid I tried it with the trucks at Vegas (fixed) and I got a little faster, 31.21 to 31.13, but a lot more stable. Especially on the straights, not so much "slack" in the wheel.
Thanks so much for this video. I also have a G29 and was struggling with feeling what the car was doing on iRacing. I didn't have this problem in sims like ACC. After watching the video, I was able to quickly shave quite a bit of time off my best lap in the MX5 at Lime Rock Park. But the more important thing, is that my consistency has seemed to improved a lot. I also feel much more confident in the MX5. Before I was driving passive because I had no feel for what the car was doing. Now if I could only improve my breaking technique. :)
Awesome video mate. Very well explained. I will be using this video to set up my wheel. I have been struggling to find a setting that i am comfortable with. Keep up the great content.
Thanks for all your tips and tricks, I’ve watched a load of your videos recently and it’s really helped me improve my set up and understanding of iracing. Cheers
Wow I can actually race in Dirt Late Models properly now thanks to this. I was having so much trouble with the wheel just being way to jerky and having to be way to active with the wheel. Now it is so smooth and much easier to control. Used your settings since I have a G29 as well just had to get the auto strength right and was ready to rock. Appreciate the video a bunch!
Thank you, very useful guide so all of the guess work and research is already done for me. I've been using wheelcheck + lut generator for AC so similar steps. My G920 is returning a consistent step log 2 threshold at 8-9%. Min force test is telling me anywhere from 2-5%. I'm guessing I have a low value return messing up the output. It's not money so I will use my old Excel trick and pick the correct the answer. Thanks again, Daniel
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for doing this video. I used some of your wheel settings to set up my T300. I have to say this video taught me a lot I didn't know and thought I did. I watched your other videos as well. I made my own tutorial just covering the wheel settings for the T300 specifically and mentioned your video with the link to this video as well, I hope you don't mind. Thanks again keep up the videos got my Sub.
Excellent tutorial, thanks! A question though: can you really feel the car starting to slide (oversteer that is) with these settings and do you feel you can react quickly enough to also catch it? That is my main strugle with my Thrustmaster T300RS. I've been using iRFFB which improves it for me, but this tutorial makes me want to give iRacing another try without iRFFB. Thanks again!
Thanks a lot. I haven't used iRFFB, I know of its good but comes with some drawbacks I believe. Obviously loads of pros also. I am happy with level of ffb I get through my G29 wheel
WheelCheck tells me that Min Force should be 1% for my T300RS. Surprisingly low number. The torque is 3.9 nm so I set that to 4.0 (one step lower would be 3.8 which I will also try). The auto strength came up with 12.8. Overall I liked how it feels, but I can't say I can feel it when I start losing the rear of the car. I had 1 spin in an IMSA race which I didn't see (or hear or feel) coming at all. I'll keep experimenting... Cheers!
Yes, I did both methods, several times. The step 2 runs vary a bit more, from 1 to 6. The min force varies only from 1 to 1.5. I figured this wheel might actually be this sensitive in the low registers. I've now been testing with the min force set to 0 and I quite like it. Looking forward to racing IMSA tomorrow (in the RSR). Cheers!
@@david_haas_ Min force is alright, my T300 is about the same. I don't set that ingame, though, as I created a forcemap - it's a profile that will make the FFB a bit more linear. You only really "need" it for consumer wheels (Fanatec wheels and DD wheels have a very linear output already. This also improved "catching slides" for me.
Thanks David, this video helped me a lot with my T300. But when I run Min Force I get anywhere between 0% and 1%, does that make sense? I thought your G29 and the T300 were comparable? Similarly, the Step Log 2 test I get percentages around 4% - 5%, nowhere near what you're getting on your G29.
Excellent video but...would you expect a G920 wheel to give a result of 1%? From what you have said here it seems way to low but I've ran the test multiple times and that's what I get. Do you think I should just input that figure or just input something higher?
Great videos, thx for sharing. I have a T300 and u wanna try your things. But what about the FFB settings in windows do you leave them on default of do you change them to?
ive just updated to a fanatec csl dd wheel and was rerunning through your setting up forcefeedback video to remind myself. I have a couple of questions. since you made your video they have added smoothing to the set up options. What does this do and where should I have it set. If my fanatec software is running in the background, which takes precedence? the fanatec settings or the iracing setting, i.e. if my iracing is all set up then i alter my fanatec settings (maybe for a different game) will it alter my wheel in iracing?
This was very helpful. I'll have to spend a bit more time doing laps to get FFB strength tuned up. Coming from GT Sport, this was a pretty steep learning curve. I've got a T300, and you mentioned you would expect the Mazda to be around a value of 8, but the auto value gave me something more like 24. Does this seem reasonable?
Thank you for the video. Do you know if this software will work with a direct drive wheel? I have used the recommended settings by Fanatec but it doesn't feel pristine like what you showed could be achieved. I also did the same for the Iracing settings. Again, thanks and I will give it a go once I get some freetime in the next day or so.
Thank you for the video I got a lot out of it .I have a question for you, under steering wheel accelerator - brake and clutch what should I have Sensitivity set to in profiler for my G25 wheel . Thank you in advance.
Hi I have a Thrustmaster TGT wheel would you recommend using the linear mode for this as you mentioned in the video a sort of cut off price range . I’m just new to iracing and videos like yours are very helpful .
Hi, I would not recommend using linear mode as your wheel has 6nm of force, which while high, is not high enough to benefit from linear mode. Thanks a lot and glad they are helping.
That’s brilliant thank you so much for your help . After your video I am already putting in consistent laps around my best time . Only 1.08 around lime rock (chicanes)but I was around 1.09 so thank you . I only joined iracing last week and I absolutely love it . I’m not very good but I love it and that’s fine with me .
Are any of these adjustments (besides feedback strength) affected by wheel settings you have in the driver (in my case GHub, also running a G29)? And if so what would you recommend running for settings there to optimize what you went over in this video?
Funny enough I went from the TMX to the G29. Both wheels are great but I slightly prefer the Logitech wheel. The pedals however cannot be compared, the Logitech pedals are far superior.
@@Sampsoid Thanks...I want to upgrade my xbox 360 racing wheel to one of these. I have been debating on which one to get. I would love a DD wheel/pedal combo, but far too expensive.
Great Vid David. Thanks. Only problem I am having is that when I run the wheelcheck it seems to work, the wheel moves etc but the CSV is always created but is 0 bytes in size and empty. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
FIXED - It seems that I need to let wheelcheck complete the test - I cannot just quit out like in your video otherwise the file is empty. Reduced the max count to 30 and this was sufficient to get a response on a TMX wheel.
So my results come back much differently. Your results show a long list of zeros, where my first DeltaX is line two, and the far left only reads 100. Am I doing something wrong??
hello for the g29 do you advice to put wheel force to 2.2 or 2.4, in the sense does something change? Also is it more realistic to keep the damper at 0 or better to have it set a bit?
I have a G923, with an MVH GT Series front end, my Linear Force returns 750 (7.5%) & my Min Force returns 2.0%, should my wheel, which is essentially the same as yours return results so different from yours, or is this sort of thing normal?
David, I downloaded Wheel Check version 1.82, loaded and set the parameters as you've indicated and I get nothing. no movement of the whee. at all and nothing in the documents folder. I tried the previous version of Wheel Check and don't get any results with that version either. I'm running a Fanatec Clubsport V2 wheel base which Wheel Check sees and sets in the first drop down menu. I set the next two as you directed, Max Count at 200 and then from the second dropdown menu Step 2. I wait and the wheel never moves. I am new to sim racing and am trying to get the optimum set up using your "How To" videos. Any idea as to why Wheel Check is not working?
I just did this today. Went through all the steps but when I did the auto FFB setting while driving it recommended 20.0. It felt like I was driving a tow truck with no power steering lol. I usually run at 10. It was in the 911 GT3 cup car at Sebring. Do you think the bumpy track makes it recommend a high setting like that? (Thrustmaster TS-PC btw)
I got a similar result: somewhere between 20 and 22. This is with a G27, Mustang F500RS at Bathurst. And yes, it does feel rather truck-like. I did a race with that setting and got used to it, though. And actually, on reflection it does feel quite a bit like pre-power steering cars I have driven, like 60s Holdens. I'm not sure I'll keep it that way. I'll keep experimenting.
Hi David, I just did this with my Logitech g923 with a formula vee around oulton park. The auto strength came out at 26.2. Does that sound right? Seems a bit high to me
What about wheel range setting. You have 900 degrees, that is probably thrusmasters wheel range. My TX is 900degrees but iracing has you do wheel calibration and have me set it to 472 degrees. Whats your thoughts and why are you staying at 900?
You should calibrate it for the full range of the wheel. iRacing will automatically adjust the wheel range for each car to match what it is in real life. Many cars have a steering ratio option in the garage that you can then adjust to your preference if the default feels too unresponsive.
Thanks for the help, I'm quite annoyed iRacing doesnt make any attempt to be user friendly. There's one thing being a quick driver, another being a bloody IT technician to get the damn thing to work.
I know this is an old video..but using the wheel check with the thrustmaster TS..min force is REALLLLY low. I get between 0 and .5 usually. I've run it many times. Is this value still correct?
Fired up my first test drive and I only get steering related FFB. If I hit a kerb or go of the track there is nothing. Any ideas? Wheel is working in all other Sims so only an iRacing issue
When I quite out of the app when the wheel starts moving I get totally random readings, like:1350, 400, 950. But if I leave the wheel to turn for about 1 1/2 minutes then it settles at about 950- is this a false reading?
Hi there, 17 was chosen because if you look to the far right of the data on the sheet, it is where the numbers start to ramp up consistently. Once you see that, look to the far left and just use the first two numbers. In this case 1700 becomes 17.
I have a Fanatec CSL elite wheel base. As soon as I start the test my wheel starts to vibrate back and forth like crazy. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have tried many times
Whenever I use a lut table I get disgusting oscillation on center whether I’m still or rolling doesn’t go away unless I hold the wheel to one side or going into the lut file and lowering the first 3 values I can dial about 70% of the oscillation out, wheel still doesn’t center the last 45° under 30 mph using a tmx Any help would be appreciated, played with max count and step time no improvements

Great Vid David. Thanks. Only problem I am having is that when I run the wheelcheck it seems to work, the wheel moves etc but the CSV is always created but is 0 bytes in size and empty. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
FIXED - It seems that I need to let wheelcheck complete the test - I cannot just quit out like in your video otherwise the file is empty. Reduced the max count to 30 and this was sufficient to get a response on a TMX wheel.
So my results come back much differently. Your results show a long list of zeros, where my first DeltaX is line two, and the far left only reads 100. Am I doing something wrong??
wow great video my guy.
For some reason my "enable force feedback" setting is grayed out. I can't select it. I'm using a CSL Elite with a p1 Xbox rim...
hello for the g29 do you advice to put wheel force to 2.2 or 2.4, in the sense does something change? Also is it more realistic to keep the damper at 0 or better to have it set a bit?
Great video, thanks for the easy help! Really appreciated
Great info. I've never heard anyone reference this tool before.
Thanks, yeh found that gem of a tool a while back and helped me lots.
Amazing video man, thank you for this!
No problem, thanks for the support and glad it helped. I have more How-To's in the works.
Good video, really helpful. Do you know the max wheel force for Thrustmaster T500RS?
Thanks a lot, glad it helped. I believe it is 4.3 nM.
David Sampson Thanks a lot, mate. 👍🏻 keep up the videos.
I have a G923, with an MVH GT Series front end, my Linear Force returns 750 (7.5%) & my Min Force returns 2.0%, should my wheel, which is essentially the same as yours return results so different from yours, or is this sort of thing normal?
do you think the GT29 is a better wheel then the T300rs gt? im looking for a short term up grade
David, I downloaded Wheel Check version 1.82, loaded and set the parameters as you've indicated and I get nothing. no movement of the whee. at all and nothing in the documents folder. I tried the previous version of Wheel Check and don't get any results with that version either. I'm running a Fanatec Clubsport V2 wheel base which Wheel Check sees and sets in the first drop down menu. I set the next two as you directed, Max Count at 200 and then from the second dropdown menu Step 2. I wait and the wheel never moves. I am new to sim racing and am trying to get the optimum set up using your "How To" videos. Any idea as to why Wheel Check is not working?
I just did this today. Went through all the steps but when I did the auto FFB setting while driving it recommended 20.0. It felt like I was driving a tow truck with no power steering lol. I usually run at 10. It was in the 911 GT3 cup car at Sebring. Do you think the bumpy track makes it recommend a high setting like that? (Thrustmaster TS-PC btw)
I got a similar result: somewhere between 20 and 22. This is with a G27, Mustang F500RS at Bathurst. And yes, it does feel rather truck-like. I did a race with that setting and got used to it, though. And actually, on reflection it does feel quite a bit like pre-power steering cars I have driven, like 60s Holdens. I'm not sure I'll keep it that way. I'll keep experimenting.
I did this with the Mazda and a CSL elite 1.1. Auto gave 23ish with the auto button. That can't be right, right? Did several smooth laps
Hi David, I just did this with my Logitech g923 with a formula vee around oulton park. The auto strength came out at 26.2. Does that sound right? Seems a bit high to me
What about wheel range setting. You have 900 degrees, that is probably thrusmasters wheel range. My TX is 900degrees but iracing has you do wheel calibration and have me set it to 472 degrees. Whats your thoughts and why are you staying at 900?
You should calibrate it for the full range of the wheel. iRacing will automatically adjust the wheel range for each car to match what it is in real life. Many cars have a steering ratio option in the garage that you can then adjust to your preference if the default feels too unresponsive.
What control command do you use to set a button for the auto FFB???
Thanks for the help, I'm quite annoyed iRacing doesnt make any attempt to be user friendly. There's one thing being a quick driver, another being a bloody IT technician to get the damn thing to work.
clear concise video thx
Thanks
You sir, are the best. THANK YOU
Is there any addons or config file shenanigans that I could use to allow the sti to shift with a h pattern(and not in the sequential way)
Thanks for the vid ;)
Here's the torque of some wheels. Source : www.edracing.com/edr/Wheel-Torque.php
Logitech DFGT: less than 2.5 Nm
Logitech G25: 2.5 Nm
Logitech G27: 2.3 Nm
Logitech G29: 2.1 Nm - not a retail release version of wheel
Logitech G920 2.2 Nm
Fanatech GT3 v2: 2.6 Nm
Thrustmaster Tx: 3.9 Nm
Thrustmaster T500: 4.4 Nm
Fanatec CSW v1: 4.8 Nm
Fanatec CSW v2: 7.1 Nm
Thanks for the video...what wheel n pedals do you use?
Your welcome, I use the Logitech G29 Wheel and Pedals
@@Sampsoid okay :) Thank you...
That was gold bud ... cheers
Your welcome, glad it helped
the min force on my test for my fanatec csl wheel is -50 that dont seem right
I know this is an old video..but using the wheel check with the thrustmaster TS..min force is REALLLLY low. I get between 0 and .5 usually. I've run it many times. Is this value still correct?
I have the g920 and i am not getting any feedback from the test? It is showing zero values the whole way through. Unsure what to do from here.
Fired up my first test drive and I only get steering related FFB. If I hit a kerb or go of the track there is nothing. Any ideas?
Wheel is working in all other Sims so only an iRacing issue
very cool but is it supposed to be this heavy? I personally feel like it's way to heave to drive consistantly for longer periods
It shouldn't be heavy, it should be smooth until the feedback needs you to feel something like sliding, bumps or contact etc.
sorry but you said that in wheel check find 17,5 ...where you set? Ths from italy
When I quite out of the app when the wheel starts moving I get totally random readings, like:1350, 400, 950. But if I leave the wheel to turn for about 1 1/2 minutes then it settles at about 950- is this a false reading?
HI FROM ITALY! ONE QUESTION...at minute 8:36 why to choose 17 .....
based on what concept? and after you where you set this 17 parameter?ths
Hi there, 17 was chosen because if you look to the far right of the data on the sheet, it is where the numbers start to ramp up consistently. Once you see that, look to the far left and just use the first two numbers. In this case 1700 becomes 17.
@@Sampsoid ok and 17 where you set in iracing?...because i don t see in iracing ffb set...
I have a Fanatec CSL elite wheel base. As soon as I start the test my wheel starts to vibrate back and forth like crazy. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have tried many times
Nice video David
Thanks man, love your oval stuff. I've got to get more into oval.
@@Sampsoid Thanks man yeah oval racing is verry nice but sometimes hard
Whenever I use a lut table I get disgusting oscillation on center whether I’m still or rolling doesn’t go away unless I hold the wheel to one side or going into the lut file and lowering the first 3 values I can dial about 70% of the oscillation out, wheel still doesn’t center the last 45° under 30 mph using a tmx Any help would be appreciated, played with max count and step time no improvements
hello these forcefeedback settings are good for dirt ovals and rally too?
My zeros after running the wheel check are gone at 500 whereas yours stop much higher around 1600... is there something i'm doing wrong?
