Issues getting rFactor set up

[Deleted]

Ok, I have done a couple laps, and am so far off my old race pace it's not even funny. It may take a while to get back into the groove.

Anyway, I am trying to get my settings just right, and I seem to remember a post, I think it was by Seahawks, that showed all the sensitivity settings within the game that he had set for his wheel. Does anyone know where to find that?

Also, I am having issues with my rF ORSM instance. It was working fine when I spectated the V8 race last week, however since then I have installed my Fanatec drivers and connected my wheel/pedals, and now rF crashes as soon as I try to drive (not go to the track, actually leave the garage and control the car). I have an rF Enduracers instance, and that works just fine with the wheel. Any ideas what may be causing the crash?

There's no magic bullet for the sensitivity but most agree to turn speed sensitivity down to 0. I'll let the Fanatec guys give you their wheel settings for the rest at my G27 settings probably won't help.

Do you have any plugins (beyond what comes with the game) installed in ORSM? If so, take em out and test. GID, especially can be touchy.

Hmm, I don't think I have anything installed now that I didn't have installed way back when, though now that I think about it, I did intall new fanatec drivers. Perhaps that is the issue. And I don't really have any mods installed on my Enduracers mod, so it could be the new drivers clashing with either GID or the Spotter.

Here are the settings for my CSW. They should be very similar for the GT2, except I think there are a couple extra settings for the CSW.

Sen: 270
FFB: 70 to 80 (70 in the V8 mod)
SHO: 100
ABS: 90
LIN: Off
DEA: Off
DRI: OFf
FOR: 120
SPR: Off
DPR: Off

You should also install the RealFeel plugin. Select upgrades on the car you have purchase and select it from there after you have installed the plugin. Here is a link.

Thanks Jason, that's partially what I was looking for, but mainly it was the settings within rF, the Rates screen in the controller settings.

I have wheel angle set at 16 in game FFB 70 in game effects at medium for the rest I'll check when I get home tonight. Also I run same in wheel settings as hawks

I turn most of the rates to their lowest setting. You might need to adjust the speed sensitivity setting in there. Some run at 0, while others prefer it at default (I believe default is set to 60).

Also, but sure to turn off steering assist in the Difficulty section. That will really mess things up.

steering assist adds weight to car going by ini file too

these are my settings in game (could be worthless though lol

Keep in mind that the Digital Rates don't (I believe) affect wheels and pedals... I think they're for on/off controls such as keyboards or if you use a button for clutch. It's the Controller 1 and Controller 2 tabs that are critical.

I'm open to correction on that if someone can prove me wrong

The big one for me in rFactor with my Fanatec wheels is the in-game FFB needing to be negative, not positive, in order to feel right. What has really thrown me for a curve ball, though, is that some mods required the FFB to be positive for my Fanatec wheels. You also will want to map the "Reset FFB" key, since the Fanatec wheels are known for losing FFB during rFactor races.

And if you use the Real Feel plugin CTRL+8 will flip the FFB.

Ya lawyer I've needed to go positive in a few mods too
