F1 2010 with Driving Force GT

Can someone confirm what settings they are using, got the wheel today, but having a bit of a bother with it, cant seem to map it 1:1 with the in game wheel.

f1= 360 degrees I believe

LOL, I can really see a F1 driver crossing his arms to steer his car.

I think 180 degrees is more like it.

It will most likely differ from driver to driver in F1.

For F1 2010 I found 180 or 270 to be the best for me.

What are you talking about? F1 wheels are nearly 400 degrees, thats 200 either way, what part of that don't you believe? Have you ever watched an F1 onboard clip? 180 degrees would be ridiculous.

Watch at 30 seconds, at the Loews hairpin, that is the maximum turning circle, which is roughly 200 degrees to the left. Yes, they do cross their arms, and you have no idea what you're talking about.

Is there a way I can customise the settings of my car (McClaren) and use those same settings on different tracks in time trial without having to set the car up each time? I saved a custom setting on one track last night, named it 'Merlin' which is still there for me to load when I'm at that track, but when I go to a different track with the same car, I have to do it all again as the one I saved isn't there to load. It just gives me 5 free save and load slots.

Also, Metalface Mark, you have a different wheel to me, but did you try going into Driving Controls/Advanced Wheel Settings, and messing around with Steering Deadzone and Steering Saturation? Maybe that'll help?

You can work it out exactly but just play about with the steering saturation setting in game. I have it on 35% but it will depend on how many degrees of rotation your wheel is set up for (in the profiler I think it defaults to 200 degrees?).

I use 270 degrees

In the game the wheel on the car doesn't turn that much i started off using 360 but found 270 to work much better and is more realistic compared to the degrees the wheels turns on screen

Merlin5 · 26 Oct 2010 at 23:38

I put steering saturation to 100% and now my wheel matches exactly to what I see on screen.

alex24 · 26 Oct 2010 at 23:40

I agree, great combo that I use myself!

I use 200 deg for F1 2010. Works pretty well.

deko · 26 Oct 2010 at 23:40

Steering Saturation on 100%, Linearity on 50% makes it completely linear, obviously it won't match up on the screen, but who cares? It only turns 90 degrees each way on screen, which is completely ridiculous to try and match.

I use 400 degrees and completely linear steering, gives me by far the best feel, no point making it feel fake.

He's talking about one way.

Calm down boy. You're right. I have no idea what i'm talking about. I don't watch F1 personally so it was a surprise that the drivers do cross their arms on full lock.

Calmed down now?

i really dont like the force feedback, its too soft. What are peoples settings?

Merlin5 · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:10

Got mine on 70% for all effects. I tried 100% just now, don't need too much vibration shaking the wheel, it makes it harder to control. Just enough to feel what's going on.

Doggie2k · 27 Oct 2010 at 00:14

Well one thing that annoys me is there is no force when I turn the wheel. When i go over the ripple strips that when my force feedback kicks in

Just wanting a similar feel to gtr evo and rafactor

You won't get close to rFactor with realfeel, nowhere near it.

Ah cool, want sure what the option was the change that.

Seem to have found a nice setting, had an absolutely cracking race in Malaysia last night, med traction control, no abs, rain was bursting heavy as can be, and managed to finish in 11th with my Williams, was extremely immersive, at first when i tried the wheel i thought, ill never get used to this, and its a waste of money, a few hours on the game and tweaking and im loving it!
