I noticed that there are some settings in options for setting up different wheels and also setting general setting for any connected wheel, I have tried some options but so far nothing has worked better then the default settings, please post your experience here with the settings you have tried.

One of the reasons of posting this thread is sometimes in the game, the car just goes haywire, i.e. going from good grip to loosing it completely with no chance to recover the car, I'm driving with no tc, no other aids, but I could manage these settings in GT5, its just been a lot difficult in 6 so far, so maybe better settings with steering wheel might help.
 
steering thingy on and 4 strength. 4 feels good enough to me, the slow road cars are easy and light to turn and then the racing cars are hard and give a lot of feedback.

EDIT
Whoops. I am using a G25, some people have reported faulty FFB with the G27+GT6 like not feeling curb vibrations etc.

the g27 is great with GT6 . it was Terrible with GT5

Am I wrong in thinking the "Steering Type" option means nothing if you are using the G27? I mean, it's greyed out when you select that option.

I use a DFGT and I barely feel anything if at all if I'm driving over kerbs, even if they're high ones like some kerbs at Nurburgring.
 
I wanted to be sure, so I tested out 2 different cars on 2 different tracks on both Amateur and Simulation, and got almost identical lap times with both steering types. Any difference felt between the two options is in the player's head.

I'm pretty sure the option is just there for the lower end wheels that can't fine tune FFB to the players preference.

Back on topic, I use 5 FFB and no power steering, which I think was the default. Feels great to me.
 
Thanks for your posts guys, keep it coming.

Does anyone know what the power steering setting does?

It only happens when your on stock/soft suspension. If you're using a harder suspension, you feel every little bump in the kerbs! Also note, the FFB we feel is almost all FRONT end, nothing from the rear!

I'm on a G27 with no power assisted steering and FFB at 5, my wheel's old and I'm trying to conserve the motors :).

@i_max

Power assisted steering reduces the force when making sudden turns in the wheel. It pretty much kills the FFB when you're turning hard, feels like a huge deadzone more or less. I hate it!.

I believe you're for the most part, but I think we feel the rear wheels when the car drifts a little in either direction, also when you don't have TC and you accelerate too much, we can feel the wheel spin.

You're feeling the G's, not the wheelspin. Look at the G meter while your doing it, you see it move as you feel the FFB.

It gives you power steering...If you want a stiff racecar like setting then dont use it.

Its fun with to turn it off with rough race cars but for any other road car its a pain. and you wont want to be doing any drifting with it off.
 
did you know that "simulation" mode is not changing anything for G27.... it is made for cheap wheels! Look carefully at that selection if you dont believe me!
 
im dissapointed in gt6 how some cars you cant use the clutch+shifter.. it worked fine in gt5.. if they dont fix it, ill have to sell the game.
 
I didnt read anything about simulation not working. But couldn't finish a lap with Diablo before changing. I changed setting and it seemed like it changed the steering ratio. Like it wasn't trying to "help" me anymore. Guess that was in my head. But the game was suddenly playable. And friends I told to do it said the same thing

Well I think there is a setting to disable steering to correct when the car has big oversteer/understeer, you might have disabled that setting too.
 
I will also say, I noticed a difference going to "simulation", but I also disabled power assist at the same time.
Simulation/FFB5/No power steering are my settings.

Someone had mentioned long ago that if you hold the middle two red buttons on the shifter, and then click X/O/Box/Triangle (4 black buttons on the shifter, as if it was a DS3), each button changes the degrees of rotation of the wheel. X is stock, 900 degrees. O is what I use most of the time, it's the smallest reduction, but makes snapping in some lock to stop a slide much easier.

Box is good for F1/x2010 style cars, it lets you turn in much faster than using 900 degrees.

Triangle is a joke, it turns your wheel into a d-pad. That said, it makes drifting REALLY EASY. I can link drift whole courses on a DS3, but struggle to make a clean corner on the wheel (my muscle memory catches slides, I can't help it and don't want to break the habit in case my racing suffers). This setting let me slide like a pro in a matter of minutes, you can go lock-to-lock with both hands on the wheel, and it looses much of the feedback "quality" that makes my brain catch slides.

The cars that won't let you use the clutch don't have a clutch pedal in real life.
 
Me too, it's great and give a whole new dimension. Driving a tesla with its CVT is completely different than a similar car with a traditional transmission with similar power

I believe this is what you referring to - https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/g27-g25-dfgt-undocumented-wheel-lock-settings-guide.286646/
