FFB settings on Fanatec CSW2.5

[schluerfi1978]

Hi,
I'm looking for a guidance on a good setup for Fanatec CSW 2.5 in LMU.

I'm using so far the following settings:
SEN 900
FF 100
SHO 100
DRI OFF
FOR 100
SPR 100
DPR Off
FEI 060
and ingame everything on Default, except that so far, I have turned up Car Specific Force to 125% for every Hypercar I tested so far.

I have 2 items that I'd like to see improved:
1.) When the car goes into oversteer, I often get a snappy FFB spike response which will send the car into spinning to oblivion.
2.) I have a lot of oscillation when I take the hands off the wheel.
Otherwise, the FFB feels already quite good.

Any recommendation how to fix the 2 issues?
THX!

Yo, I have the same as you but FEI at 100 and DRI -1, I use 40 smoothing in-game. How do you change specific FFB per car?

 

[schluerfi1978]

OK, will give it a try! FFB per car is in the FFB menu, when you access the options from in-race via ESC-button. In the normal section of FFB in Controls.

Cheers man I'll have a look!

Question on the smoothing: scale only goes up to 9 for me - do you really mean 40 and not 4?

 

[Montag_RSR]

Yes sorry I meant 4. Actually bumped it to 5 I find it just fine

I found out over the last couple of days not to use the AUTO setting on my CSW and not to use SMOOTHING in the sim, its totally changed the FFB for me now, enjoying so much more, feels much more like RF2 now. I made a little video showing why. Would say though that Some Hypercars still feel a little light, but all cars drive much better since I fugured this out!

Thank you for the tips, wondering if you have realized by now, like so many others (including me, earlier on), making the same mistake, that "Steering Torque Capability" does not mean Steering Torque Capacity of your wheel base.
As per LMU forum it means:
"controls the intensity of the force applied to the steering wheel in relation to the simulated physics of the car."
Notice how it does not relates to the wheel base?
Also notice how high that setting go? Way higher than even the meaner DD wheel base.
Once you understand what this does, setting FFB in LMU starts to make sense.
Enjoy.

No probs! Yes that setting goes from 1 to 50. By default with my Fanatec CSW 2.5 after detection the game sets it at 8. But i've mucked about with it and it does'nt matter weather I set it to 1, 8 or 50, it makes no difference to the FFB at all for me.
