Hey
for Fanatec owners who use their wheel and pedals on PS3, please share your feedback and settings
i am currently testing my wheel and pedals, Clubsport Wheel Base with F1 rim + CSR-Elite Pedals
what i found:
above the matter of personal preference, the thing is
what do you really want more realistic or being faster?
i believe we are all looking for best compromise between realism and efficiency
here my finds to help further racers who will own Fanatec stuff
Pedals
put these figures in-game settings:
Brake Deadzone: 2
Brake Saturation: 10
Codemasters themselves recommends if you are using Loadcell pedals such as Clubsport Pedals or CSR-Elite Pedals
Throttle Saturation: 5 (personal preference, feel free to try any value)
i find myself on my CSR-E Pedals, throttle pedal misses a lack of stiffness
therefore, i loosen the second bolt to the spring as you can see on below picture
Throttle pedal will make little stiffer, not very much indeed but better than nothing
other tweak i heard about: invert clutch pedal which is way stiffer and throttle pedals
i think you need to dismount entire pedal's base and it requires some caution in order to avoid malfunctions after mounting
in game settings
Many of those settings will artificially distort the rendering of wheel effects and add unrealistic feelings fi you tend to
Steering Deadzone: 0
Steering Saturation: 0
Steering Linearity: 0
Force Feedback ON
Environmental Effects: 0
Force Feedback:100
Wheel Weight: 100
these settings have been based on personal preference.
as you can notice, these values have been lower than usual settings that you could see somewhere else
its mainly due to my driving style, i hate having some strong artificial effects like EE
Fanatec wheel settings
before introducing my own settings, i put here some good explanations from Fanatec (too bad they only made a poor quickguide for such high premium price products)
SEN: 330
PERSONAL SETTING
you may know F1 wheel has 270 degrees of rotation
by default, game will lock it at this value.
Fanatec allows you to put whatever value you want.
I find 330 quite comfortable. Best values are between 270 (default), 320 and 330.
FF:100
MAJOR SETTING
let it at maximum, if you find it quite strong, set it lower through in game settings like weight of wheel
i recommend you to leave it at 100.
SHO: 100
PERSONAL SETTING
I let this enabled, feel free to put it off
ABS: 100 (Codemasters recommends to use either 85 or disable it) PERSONAL SETTING
I let this enabled to 100
LIN: off
MAJOR SETTING
DEA: off
DRI: off
FOR:100 OFF
After testing, i put it off since it does not feel necessary to have it enabled
SPR: 100
MAJOR SETTING
That's resistance you will need to put wheel back to the center. higher value will make you slower in term of performance and make wheel very harch to turn back to center
DPR:100 OFF
Same as For setting
70-100 are basically good balance as value.
i set it all to 100
feel free to share you own settings, i cannot say my settings are either good or match for others racers.
by the way i tried numerous settings until i found this on Austin, great track to test wheel and pedals settings, long and fast kerbs, slow corners, chicanes...
my own setting is based on FMW's setting
firstly i simply copied and pasted his setting.
on the beginning i found it much better than mine (only in game setups)
after spent couple hours to figure out which is the most suitable setting for me, i tried to lower many of his setting like FFB, SEN (SEN:270, FFB:70, SPR, DPR, FOR: 70-700)
wheel felt lighter, you could turn wheel faster even if it sometimes too responsiveness
i eventually found FMW's setting too strong
it feels more realistic with more resistance although you will get exhaustive by turning wheel with higher FFB on these settings
step by step, i tried every specific setting, some of it doesn't not interfere much, some does.
i would thanks him after finding his related post in F1 2012 section that you can find over there
