I'm back to this topic again, and I think Skazz have been following my posts on AC forums about my struggling with T500 to get the best from it. I personally think AC doesn't work as it should with the T500 or I have a faulty wheel. I lost reference about a good setup that would work ok for my wheel and I'd like to know what you guys are actually using as setup, since the last update came out.
I'll await for your reply and settings, thanks a lot

Hi cabelo3d: to be honest I've not plugged my T500 into AC for a couple of months. I've been running my T300 and loving it.
However perhaps in the end it's all about what you prefer. If I play iRacing, pCARS, AC, RaceRoom, GT6 they all feel different. I think it's about adapting to each game by altering the sound and FFB to ensure you feel and hear what the car is doing and can control it without constantly being surprised. There is no single perfect feeling, it's all compromise.
I guess you are having a lot of trouble with AC, so maybe you need to move over to a different sim which is more natural feeling?
P.S. If you're running Nvidia graphics card, setting an Nvidia Inspector profile for AC with "maximum prerendered frames = 1" is a recommended setting. Supposedly this affects latency and can help you go from feeling disconnected with the FFB to feeling things properly. Have you tried this?

Hi skazz! Well, I bought this second hand wheel and paid a fortune for it. Here in Brazil things are really overpriced and a T300 is way too expensive. Now, I'm curious, what's the difference between them, could you describe?
I'll wait for the 1.1 version of AC and see if they improve FFB for my wheel. Weird is the fact that when they released 1.0, I had a so great ffb right away that I could not sleep that night, no kidding. And you're right, wheels have a totally different feel for each person. I may be too exigent hehe.
What other sim you would recommend then?
I did that already in nvidia drivers but I just checked that since the last update I did, I didn't change that. Will do another try.

I finally found a setting I can say is good to my taste!
Driver, 60% Gain, 92% Constant, 46% Periodic, Spring and Damper 0%.
Game: Gain 80%, Filter, Damping and Minimum Force 0%, Kerbs 50%, Road 48% and Slip 2%.
I set the degrees of rotation in the game to 40º.
By doing this, the game will use the degrees of rotation you determined in the drivers, for example BMW M1 900º and Ferrari 458 S3 540 degrees. When you turn your wheel and reach 540º for example both virtual and real wheels will lock and not rotate further.
I set in Nvidia driver pre-rendered frames to 1 as you said skazz and makes the game better indeed.
I'll use this settings from now on.
I have a not so heavy wheel, but accurate, I feel when the car start to slip and can countersteer when powersliding, it has a much better ffb than before. I may be wrong but this is the best I could get so far.

Try turning up the minimum force setting. For lower end wheels like my G27, there are some FFB effects that won't show up the wheel because the wheel is not capable of outputting them. Turning the minimum force settings helps you feel more of the FFB effects. Try starting at 5-10% and go from there.
@Johnnypenso Somehow, for my wheel, it feels great with minimum force set to 0%. The wheel seems smoother. Will try your tip and see if I get any improvement. Well, honestly, those setting I wrote, are the best I could figure out so far. It feels really good. I was about to give up on this wheel and AC but now brought me hope again.

Any recommended settings (driver and ingame) for the T300?

I use 75/100/100/0/0 in drivers, 60% gain in game, 5% minimum force, no filtering or damping, no fake effects, linear brake curve.
