rFactor 2 (PC) - Fanatec Recommended Settings
Dominic Brennan
Member
General Notes:
- The settings below are considered to be reasonable baseline values for rFactor 2 (PC). They might not suit all tastes and driving styles, but they are a good starting point. Bear
in mind that rFactor 2 uses a dynamic physics engine covering a
broad range of cars and tracks, meaning that these settings might not be
'optimal' for every possible driving scenario.
-
In order to apply the suggested settings correctly, it is important to
assign both the Tuning Menu values AND the suggested In-Game settings
together.
- rFactor 2 has the ability to provide a 'raw' force feedback signal that can generate significant mechanical noise on some wheel bases, which can be reduced through a combination of lower FEI values (Fanatec Tuning Menu) and higher FFB Smoothing values (rFactor 2 menu). This is highly dependent on the vehicle selected - the Skip Barber 2013, for example, communicates more surface detail with FFB Smoothing at max (32) than the BMW M6 GTE 2018 with FFB Smoothing at 0. While it is important to keeping smoothing to a minimum for the most 'detail', it is not unreasonable to add a significant amount of smoothing (values above 10) for some vehicles.
- 'Car Specific FFB Mult' is a value that should be adjusted in combination with the clipping tool. In doing so you can maximise the dynamic range of the FFB but lose some of the feeling of variety between car types.
- Please ensure you are using the latest firmware for all Fanatec devices.

Make sure you click on “Detect” on the wheel setup page in game, it should show up as the Podium Wheelbase.

It's some driver release that the steering lock on auto on rfactor 2 doesn't work. Please, Fanatec, could you take a look and fix this annoying bug? Thanks in advance.
Regarding rFactor 2. Delete controller.ini in your documents folder or installfolder. Its in the userdata - player. Then go ingame and reload your saved controller config.
I got you, fam. Just posted it here for others to read.
Any one have a good Wheel settings for DD1 since all the updates recently? Cheers
here the same.
This game (rfactor2) ist still an absolute joke.... apart from the obnoxious UI (still, after so many years) it is a complete fail for configuring your devices. Auto-detect just helps nothing. I have to basically unplug EVERY other device (Thrustmaster hotas, 3 button boxes) before it would "detect" the DD2. As I said -> a joke!! I do not understand why people still bother about this title!!!!
And having a FFB that works - you need a PHD as a minimum requirement!
What is a PHD?
PHD -> Doctor of philosophy (postgraduate degree) ;-).
So I spent some time to figure out setup of rfactor2. And finally it runs! What has to be done with controllers is to delete all the preset profiles in the user data folder. Another thing is the setup of the triple screen -> quite a hidden function, accessed through a key-combo (in misc settings -> called "triples/tyres").
For the DD2 settings, I set FF to around 45, linearity on, as usual only very few NDP (8), Fri OFF, NIN OFF, INT 3, DPR 100, SPR 100.
In-Game: not much to set here: FFB smoothing 1, Min Torque 0%, Car-spec FFB mult 1.00 (has to be adapted with the individual cars, there is no one-fits-all).
In the end I have to say I am impressed. It is one of the few really good ffb deriving from a physic that actually deserves to be called that way (unlike the one of AMS2 for example!!).
My set is CSW 2.5 with McLaren and CSP v3.
What is the default way to connect them to PC, separately or csp via wheelbase ? I'm asking because depends on the connection method the settings controller.json file differs therefore my feeling as well. In attachment you will see the comparison of those files.
Cheers,
PRzemek
Connect your pedals to your wheelbase, the result will be the same but it will be more simple for you to manage.
I do it for rfactor (I'm faster aproxymatly 0.5s) but I would like to understand the difference.
PS But in ACC I'm faster when it is connected directly to PC 🤔
Hi, you have a solution for the FFB in rf2 it behaves in reverse, ie it takes force to straighten the steering wheel and when turning the steering wheel turns itself and you have to retain it so that it does not continue to tun.

Hi
for those who have not found how to fix the reverse ffb in rf2, I have the solution.
You have to modify a value in the "Controller.json" file which is in the following location:
your hard drive: \ your location \ steamapps \ common \ rFactor 2 \ UserData \ player \ Controller.json
And make the modification below:
