Wheel Setup Help

http://forum.projectcarsgame.com/showthread.php?24055-Universal-FFB-Settings-for-PS4-XB1-Spreadsheet

This ^^^ has changed my whole game experience. I was loving the game since I started playing (bugs and all). I read about changing my FFB settings to something more realistic and I did so. The game got even better.

Yesterday I was playing online and some one mentioned Jack Spades settings for FFB. I looked it up (at the above link), and printed off the spreadsheet.

This morning I took the spreadsheet and applied it to a car that yesterday was undriveable (for me) the P1. Within minutes I was driving the P1 around and enjoying the experience. Since then I have tuned 5 other cars, and all of them respond far better to the feedbacks I have from my wheel.

I hope others have the same experience.

I tried a few of the Fy+SOPLateral last night and this morning did not like them as much as the Classic ones.. so for now I am sticking with the classic ones - I use the exact settings in the sheet then drop master scale one notch and the SoP Scale a notch to match and race.. works great for now.

👍 Thank's a lot !

Follow the previous link I posted. I know you are playing on a T300 so the settings will make a massive difference.

It takes me about 1 minute to make the changes in Free Run, and then a couple of minutes to try them out and tweek the settings to my personal preference.

For example, the Renault Clio cup I thought was very strong, so I turned down the master scale and it is now a lovely drive.

Edit: spelling

I tried both on the McLaren P1 and found that I really like the feeling from the SoP settings. I stuck with that and tuned my other cars from the SoP lists.

PS for those that are not aware the SoP is Seat of (the) Pants settings. See the ISRTV review of the FFB in PCars.

ok thanks. i spent 2hrs tuning the P1 for use with my current wheel settings last night so i'll see how these go with that, or i'll just reset to defaults and save to one track and mess around for a bit.
 
I found that setting these FFB to "All" took a coupl,e of minutes, Max. I could then later fine tune to each individual track in a relatively short time.

In short it gave me a really good base setting to work with.

Do you have any specific car that you recommend to use to compare the different versions ?

The only two cars I have put serious time into are the BMW 320 Turbo and the Merc 190 DTM - Racing at Sonoma and Laguna Seca . I tried both cars with both setups, drove clean, locked brakes, rode on curbs.. the overall I just liked classic better. I have seen posts on other locations (reddit and pcars forums) where people like the FY+SoPLateral better, it is pretty even. Doesn't matter which wheel type either, so it is personal preference.

I tried the Clio with the classic settings because I wanted to feel FWD - and it felt good, so I did not bother trying the other.

Edit - now that I am getting used to things, I will start to fine tune things for myself. I will start with maybe lowering Fx Smooth form 20 to 0 to see how it feels, some people reported they do not like the smoothing.
 
been testing out some of the Jack Spades wheel settings tonight and I'm pretty impressed. I prefer the Classic settings over the SoP ones, hard to say why, but they just feel better to me.

having said that, I didn't really feel a massive difference between Jack's settings and the settings I've been using recently, which are based on the ISR video, which just goes to show there's no right way of doing it, although I'm definitely not keen on the defaults.

I just tried these settings with the Ginetta 40, It basically made the car lifeless with such little feedback. Basically all feeling was gone and on the telemetry the line barely moved.

Curious - did you try the Classic tab settings or the SOPLateral ones?
 
UkHardcore23
Sop, Not came across classic?

Hmm.. look at this pdf - follow the front page settings exactly.. then go to the classic page and find your car and follow them exactly and set them using the garage - save to all tracks for that car. - Not saying it is perfect for everyone but if followed exactly should have some life to it I would hope with the T300.

Ahh nice one, So yeah it was defo the first set i done. Will check out the classic one's just now...

edit: The only difference looking at the settings is the SOP scale which is 0 on classic compared to 70

Think it must of been a bug/wheel error as booted the game up and the feedback feels great on the same settings. Totally different from what i had earlier on.

I wonder if that's the same reason my try with the spade tweaks felt the same? Still it doesn't matter now. I have managed to get a feel for how the settings affect the FFB and in combination with the clipping graph can quickly set a new car up to feel good. It was worth doing the research.

So just spent an hour on doing half the cars with Jack of Spades settings, Oh my days! What a difference! The FFB now is phenomenal! Feels like a totally different game!

Yay, honestly you are on an up curve from here. Once you "get" the FFB it just gets better & better :)
 
I did have an unusual situation yesterday. I was working through career and got offered the GT4 Aston Martin Vantage which I accepted. I quit out from career and went to Free run selected the Aston, set the FFB settings, and got everything to my liking. Saved the settings and quit out of free run and back to career. Went to first practise of the first meeting and the settings were back to default.

So I have not had chance to check just yet but does anyone know if:

When it says "per car" does it mean each car and each individual livery?

Edit: I will be checking in a couple of hours and will report back if no one else does
 
When you tune in free run and save the setup it saves it for that track only so if you were testing on one track saved and went to another your settings would be at the defaults when you get to the other track.

You can load setup in your garage [the one from the track you tested on] and then save to all and those settings will be saved for every track.

The livery should have nothing to do with the tune


Edit: On another matter regarding steering ratios I am finding that when using my wheel at 900 degrees I am getting a pretty good feel with a ratio of around 10:1 on most cars I have tried. It is pretty quick so no need to turn the wheel a lot but also allows to ease into a corner. This may need to be tweaked a little per track as it may need to be a bit quicker on really tight tracks and possibly looser on ovals and straighter tracks but as a general rule it feels pretty good on every car I have tried it on, even the shifter karts.

So I did some testing and can confirm what HBR-Roadhog said. (I am on PS4)

But I want to go a little further and ask a question I might not be able to answer myself until later today when I get back on the game So if anyone has the answer it would save me some time :cheers:

If I go to my Garage and setup my FFB, it then asks me if I want to save to all or tracks. If I select all it then warns me that there are already some specific track settings already saved which will be over written. So if I select save and over write those settings will I just save the FFB settings, or will I save over track specific engine/body/suspension tuning as well? (I hope this makes sense!)

I know that on PC they can just import a FFB file into their game files which does not affect their tuning set-ups, but PS4 users have to do both from the same screen. If I am saving over track specific tuning data I would rather take the extra 30 seconds as I go into a new track than ruin good car setups.

The only thing I am changing with the settings is the master scale, as I find some quite powerful and I would soon be tired with them set like that. I have also changed the ratio on the steering setting to get a bit more precise.
