Was able to run a lap within 31 thousandths of the current daily race A WR with my new T598👍

I used these in-game and wheel settings. And weak ABS seems to be the best setting for feeling.

Last setting is cut off, but it's End Stop- Mid

Sooo much easier to be consistent, easier to catch slides, more enjoyable to use. No dips or changes in feedback strength/feeling during a session. And most importantly, I'm faster with it when comparing to my TGT pace.
Haha, told you so ;) The T598 is really great, and yeah consistency is better with it. I really need the future load cell brak pedal though !
 
Potentially the first World Record in GT7 driven with T598👌


That is an amazing lap as always from you.

Are you using the same settings as you shared a few posts back? https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...-drive-discussion-thread.428553/post-14437330

I used all of these settings in a road car race the other day, but each road car I tried seemed to understeer with the slightest of turns on the wheel.

I tried changing my base settings to 1060 rotation to give me a bit more play, but still seemed to hit understeer unusually quick 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pretty sure I used different in-game settings to the settings I posted earlier. Same wheel base settings, but I used -2 controller sensitivity and 5 torque, 3 sensitivity for the feedback.

Although I just tried using 10/10 in the current daily race A at Eiger nordwand, seems the fastest setting. And controller vibration function setting to 105. Try those mix of settings sir, and tell me what you think.

Thank you.

I tried 10/10 too and found a really good connection with the car but very high vibration on understeer, I think when I finished messing around I left it at...
Controller Sensitivity: 10
FFB Torque: 7
FFB Sensitivity: 5

But that was for drifting, I didn't mess with them whilst racing.

I also didn't change the vibration setting at all.

Will give your settings a try on the weekend and let you know how it feels to me 👍🏻

Just a reminder (for all Steering Wheels in GT7):

- CONTROLLER STEERING SENSITIVITY Slider: affect only the gamepad controller (don't change anything on Steering wheels)

- VIBRATION STRENGTH Slider: affect only the gamepad controller and steering wheels with an haptic feedback = the TrueForce Effects of Logitech wheels and the T-DFB effects of the Thrustmaster T-GT Wheel).

I always set the controller sensitivity to 10 whenever I go on the wheel, it's just habit.

I'm always adjusting it on controller though.

I'm sure that vibration makes a difference in the T598 though as everyone is saying to adjust it on this wheel.
