The online racing simulator
Most realistic wheel settings/force feedback spring rates etc etc.
I'm looking to use the most realistic settings for my Driving Force GT wheel, while being able to remain competitive online. I'm more interested in Road cars then anything really.

So lets say i use the XFG/XRG/XRT/FXO and RB4 75% of the time, while using the LX4/LX6 and RAC the other 25% of the time. What forcefeed back settings, as well as the other wheel settings do you use in the wheel/joystick key options.

I've been playing LFS for quite a long time, though i probably have more offline time then i do online, for the simple fact that i put practicing before anything else as number 1 priority. So before i begin seriously racing online again, i must practice practice practice so that i'm not crashing into people during corners and what not.

I use a Driving Force GT, and am basically looking for the most realistic settings that will mimic real life driving as best as possible. Because i can't go drive my old Merc like a maniac on the public roads without putting my self and others at risk.

Thanks for your help guys.

I guess to make it realistic you'd need a way higher degree of rotation than your wheel allows, so to get it as close as possible bump it up to full rotation, 900 degree or whatever it is on DFP's, then mess around with the FF, but I find these settings make me slower.... I normally use around 380 degree and 25 ffb.
Here's what I use (In all road cars.)

Profiler:
FFB 101%
900 Degrees

In-Game:
Steer Analogue Smooth 0.00
FFB varies from around 35% upto 55-60% for the cars with light front ends, like the LX's and RAC.
I've never seen a really quick driver with 900 degrees I think to be honest, my times dropped alot when i went from 900 to 450, and later to 270. But if you only wanna go for realism, then take 900, makes sure FFB in Logitech software is set to above 100%, and then set the rest of the sliders to 0. Adjust the overall strength ingame till you find something you like

The only settings in the controller options you need to preset are the wheel turn and wheel turn compensation.

Wheel turn compensation should always be set to 1 if you wish to have as linear controller to car steering relationship as possible. = most realistic.

720 degrees is the most realistic, as that is the max setting on road cars currently. You can get away with 540 as well, as it's essentially the same thing, safe for big slides or tight hairpins. I think many use 540 with g25 and similar. I prefer 720 as I can feel the car more and thus perform better.

To read about Logitech Profiler setup go here.

Tip: it's easier to setup degrees of rotation with "right left" keys.

You can use a little more then just 0 on centering spring, some go up to around 25. It depends on what feels right for you, this applies to Overall Effects Strength setting as well.

FFB in LFS is best set up "live" as you drive with the "," "." keys( I think that's the default keys).
