Set SEN to 540 in wheel
Set Steer lock to 540 on car

This is exactly how I wanted my wheel to feel! I prefer smaller movements in steering

In Game

Gain 100
DD 150

Will try that later.. but with less Gain... 100 for me and my CSL PS4 feels to much heavy:)

I'm interested in your thoughts.

Where have you set your dynamic damping? For me, it's really high, around 130 to 150. I thought that was the setting that affect the heaviness of my wheel. But, maybe it is gain.

1st I had in 120 then changed to.. zero!! and RE zero tooo.... I have the wheel with FOR 100 and FEI on 50, if I´m not wrong... Don´t like much the exagerated effects (I find them so) when FEI is rased above 50/60
 
The CSL-E responds to whatever in-game rotation you set when 'SEN' is set to 'AUT (Automatic)', so I do that and then change the rotation in the in-game settings for each car... Until they patch this in a feature it's the only way to do this, see post below [Thank you MirrorMan!].

I notice gain-clipping on turn-in for many cars, so leave gain at 80.

Damping feels like it's much-needed so I've got that at 130%.

Road effects are (as described by Kunos themselves) an exaggeration of true road-surface feel in a car. Most of the real racing guys like David Perel turn this off when playing sims.
 
Tested NSX last night. SEN AUT feels worse to me leaving in game 540.
SEN 540 feels much better/tighter to me.
I ran road effects and damping 0 and FEI 60.
Gain 65-70. That felt pretty good to me.

Edit, a bit more driving and I noticed the in game at 540 plus wheel 540 was off my wheel to in game. In game was turning farther even tho both numbers the same.
Sen aut same. Manually setting the rotation to match in car on the wheel is the only way I’ve found so far...Back to 50 on FEI and upped to 70-75 on gain.

I´ve got some more running last night, and fiddled around with FFB settings.. just a bit... got to more or less the same as you ... for Gain (65/70) and Fei (50) Sens variable by car, DRi: -1, Dump:100, DD on 150 and RE on.. Zero! That felt good...

Really? Doesn’t that make the wheel very light feeling?

No, but it feels to me like I have more direct control this way.
The biggest issue I notice is is that I need to make sure my in car wheel doesn’t end up at 200 degrees rotation when my wheel in my hand is at 180...I dunno why but the SEN AUT setting doesnt work on this game and if you set 540 in game 540 on wheel on my csl the game will be at 200-210 degrees when I’m at 180.
Maybe pc types are used to having to screw with these things in each car, but imo it should work SEN AUT.
Before setting this right the car would step out a bit on exit and Id open up the steering a touch but in game would toss in 40 degrees of opp lock and Id spin.
The game was exaggerating my inputs.
It’s fine now that I know steering rotation settings don’t work as imo they should.
Once setup right the game drives great.
It’s a pretty major oversight of the developer imo when a basic control input like steering is difficult to adjust to get a 1-1 input from users wheel to game input.
I love driving ACC, now that my inputs are being seen by the game correctly lol

I thik the main difference when usind DD is to catch slides, and possible loss of control on turn ins nd turn outs of curves! With DD above 100% its much easier to recover the correct trajectory without going out of track or doing a complete spin...
 
How does the CSL ffb compare to a T300 in general? Cheers

My t300 was a good wheel. On GTS (at that time, before some of the physics updates) the ffb was on par with Fanatec. Other titles like DR not so much, the CSL was way better. My t300 was reliable and a good wheel, but I like my Fanatec a lot more. It has greater capabilities and better performance and build quality than the t300 did when I had it which was quite a while back.


To topic I defaulted the wheel rotation in game setting and it went to 560 in game on the 2018 Bentley. I set the wheel to I think 63 to get a rotation match to in car. Steer Linearity I placed at 2.5. Gain 63, road effects off dynamic damping 5 percent min force 0.
On wheel dri off FEI 50, other settings default.
On my fw this feels very very very good on the csl, zero clipping, gain could be increased more, but I noticed at 75 gain a feeling during certain hard corners on Bathurst some clipping. It felt like the tire folding over itself under load, lowering gain fixed that...
This game drives excellent. I am really finding it a joy once the wheel rotation matches in car and settings get dialed in...

Hum.. you´ve changed steer Linearity?? to 2.5??? Really?? That´s a huge difference! Feels ok, garanteed?? You´ve got some trully different setups from usual ones.. :) Maybe that´s the Magic formula! :) Will give it a go next week! :) Thanks!

I’m on fw 335. Works great this way, good times on tracks I know from GTS.
