How to set up Force Feedback the RIGHT way (imo)
Quick summary· AI-generated
The author walks through their personal force-feedback tuning approach, emphasizing a baseline-and-modify workflow that prioritizes a responsive, undamped profile with minimal strange noises or grittiness. The philosophy centers on lighter FFB being faster for corner-flicking sequences (chicanes) and more comfortable over long stints than heavy FFB. While acknowledging FFB is subjective and varies by wheelbase and sim, the author presents a method they use consistently across brands and references pre-tuned profiles available on their website.

fForcefeedback is one of the most important features in your simrig, and setting it up to your taste is important. Its also important to set it up to make you go faster. Todays video is going to be about how I set up the forcefeedback. Youd be welcome to disagree, saying my settings or method sucks, but remember its what I feel it should be with my reasoning, its not attack to you no need to take it personal. Forcefeedback, though is personal. Just like pressing that like and subscribe buttons. Im trying to get to 100k, and it has been so long already.
While the software is different between wheelbases, the underlying method I use between each wheelbase is absolutely the same. If you want some settings already done, go check them out at randomcallsign.com, i have a few profiles available for multiple brands.
Anyways this video is brought to youtube todays sponsor, Coach Dave Academy Delta. Coach Dave is an excellent resource for those of you who want to get better at simracing, including Le mans ultimate. Delta has a treasure trove of telemetry data, setups, AI info and even coaching to help you out getting better, like they have been helping me. They cover Le Mans ultimate, iracing, assetto corsa competizione and even GT7. Check the link in the description.
Every wheelbase is different, every sim is different. Forcefeedback is the connection between the ones and zeros and the hospital with a broken hand if you go hard enough. Forcefeedback in essence is artificial and imperfect. Subject to whims of imperfect digital wizards which themselves are not all knowing and bring their biases to their model. They are false gods I tell you. Where I like to start is at a baseline, something that can be a start and then expanded and modified. You know, a mazda miata.
So, what do I want in my forcefeedback?
What I want as final product is a mostly undamped, responsive, tactile profile with no strange reverbs through the wheelbase or rig, sounds, grittiness and sharp peaks, and a decent and not over the top force feedback strenght. The reason is that I want something comfortable yet informative, a forcefeedback easy to turn, but not necessarily inexistant. I want the ffb to work for me and not be a gym workout or break my shoulders more than a full strength uchimata. Those hurt. I think, I may be wrong, that a lighter forcefeedback is faster, as some tracks will have sequences of corners that you will need to flick between, like chicanes. Having something heavy…
