F1 2010 wheel settings

[murfenator 0]

I know SRT is gonna do a segment on their review about optimal settings, but i'd like to know what everyones settings are. Ive been hearing that if you get your wheel set right that the game will feel much better. Right now ive got my G25 at:

G25

Windows

85% FFB

15% damper

15% spring

10% center spring

200 degs

Game

30% environment

100% strength

30% wheel weight

Steering Deadzone 0%

Steering Saturation 100%

Steering Linearity 100%

Throttle Deadzone 0%

Throttle Saturation 100%

Brake Deadzone 0%

Brake Saturation 100%

Im thinking im way off on those settings. I plan to try 0% on all the windows settings other than FFB as ive seen others use that.

Tweaked my settings and i like them a lot better.

Just picked up the game late last night on Steam so have not had a lot of time w/ it yet. I use a Fanatec wheel. I noticed if I select the Fanatec profile, I don't seem to be able to adjust advanced wheel settings like linearity in game. It's greyed out in the menus. If I select custom, and enter my Fanatec controls, it also functions fine but I still can't adjust the advanced wheel settings (still greyed out in menu.) Anyone else see this issue or know a workaround?

^^ hrmm

I'm also on steam/Pc version with Fanatec 911 S wheel, I found, for the in game fanatec preset, is meant for you to do all the "adjustments" in the fanatec software & using the wheels built in menu system, but I didn't like the button mapping, so I went custom, and I am able to get into advanced settings for wheel, FFB ect?

I have tried fiddling with the settings on the wheel and in-game but no matter what I do it feels really sticky when turning, any chance anyone knows how to set-up for the Turbo S wheel for the Xbox 360, I have looked all over the net and no one has posted the settings and lots of people are looking for them. Thanks

found this workaround?? might help?

5# Not Able to Edit Wheel Settings/ Control Settings Greyed Out

Few of the players are experiencing the in-ability to set the settings of their wheel controller to custom/advanced or enable to properly edit them. You can read the workaround below to see what you are missing, sent in by the F1 2010 support team in an email to a player experiencing the same issue.

A) From the game’s paddock area go outside and select “My F1″ then “Driving Controls”

Whilst “Control Profile” is selected use the arrow (cursor) keys on your keyboard to change from the “Keyboard” option to your controller. If you have one of the following controllers it will be automatically recognised:

Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller

Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel

Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel with Force Feedback

Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo / Turbo S / GT3 RS Wheel

Logitech Dual Action

Logitech MOMO Racing

Logitech MOMO Force

Logitech G25 Racing Wheel

Logitech G27 Racing Wheel

Logitech Rumble Pad 2

Logitech Cordless Rumble Pad 2

Logitech Driving Force GT

Thrustmaster RGT Force Feedback Clutch Edition

Thrustmaster Ferrari 430 Force Feedback Racing Wheel

C) If your controller is not recognised or you wish to use a different control layout choose the “Custom” option under “Control Profile” and then select “Edit Setup”

D) To configure your controller in the “Edit Setup” screen do as follows:

1. Press Enter on the game action that you want to configure, and “Waiting” will appear. This shows that the game is waiting for you to input the controller action that you want.

2. Perform the appropriate controller action (e.g. press the accelerator) and it will appear in place of “Waiting”.

3. Repeat the above steps for all the actions you want to set up.

4. When you’re finished back out (with Escape)

5. Your profile should be saved and your controller should now work in the game.

For an explanation of the Advanced Wheel Settings and the Force Feedback options, please see the readme.

Thanks, nope, doesn't work for me. A lot of folks are having this issue from some other threads I read. W/ Logitech often updating to the latest drivers solves it. I have the latest drivers and don't want to reinstall again for nothing. I was hoping to find a config. file to modify somewhere. I'll look around.

Well the original Fanatec 911 Turbo Wheel will not work either (PS3), think I should have purchased the G25/27 instead, you know they will work with any racing game.

It might be time to move to PC racing, only thing that has ever stopped me is unsure how level a playing field it is?

Turn the in game wheel weight to 0. I also had the"notchiness" or grinding feeling from the FFB motor. Once I put it at 0 its pretty smooth.

[talltodd 0]

I just started my first practice session and I seem to be floating all over the track. I'm in Easy mode with a G27 wheel. Everything other setting is still default at this point. Any advice?

Thanks.

[talltodd 0]

Anyone know where I can find the mappings for the buttons on a G27 wheel for F1 2010? Thanks.

[CrashingTiger 0]

Bringing this to the top again. How does F1 2010 on the PC handle multiple controllers? Is it even able to do it? I have a G27 with my own custom pedals using a Leo Bodnar controller. Will this sim recognize and be able to use the wheel and separate pedals? I'd hate to buy this game and be stuck with something unusable (like WRC 2010!).

Bump. Does anyone know? Pretty please? I haven't been able to find any info to confirm or deny this type of setup works anywhere.

I use a G25 and CST pedals and it works fine. Just don'tthink you can use the G25 profile in game have to use a custom profile.

Since Christmas I've been hammering the daily grind on GT5 on my sons new Fanatec GT2 and not been playing any F1....(I know, I know, but as much as F1 is without doubt the better racing game, I've been enjoying GT5 for it's own merits)

Today I went back onto F1 on the XBox (using the GT2 wheel) for a bit of a run-a-round with a mate. It's been over 3 weeks since I've played F1 so thought I'd be a bit rusty, with that in mind I did a bit of offline Timetrialing @ Spa just to get my eye back in.

Within 5 laps I went 1.4 seconds a lap faster than I'd ever been before!!!

Was that the wheel or just me having a change for a while that did that?

I think the wheel as whenever I've taken my eye off F1 for any period of time before It nomally takes me ages to get back up to speed.

Had a great time on the XBox, so when my mate had to go offline I decided to switch over to the PS3 to test out the latest Firmware.

WOW!!!! What a difference!

Initially I thought "This doesn't feel any better at all". Then I had a fiddle with the wheel settings and my god I couldn't believe the transformation.

F1 2010 has been transformed from a mearly good FFb experience on the PS3 to a Fanatastic experience! The FFb, rumble, responsiveness and feel were all second to none! I previously rated Ferrari Challenge as the finest Force Feedback on any console, but now F1 2010 is right up there with it.

As a little tester I did another Time Trial at Spa on the PS3 and immediately went 1.2 seconds quicker than my previous fastest on that console Too! (with a Fanatec 911 Turbo S)

Here's the setings I used with the subtle changes from XBox to PS3:

F1 2010 (XBox360)

Sen ~ 240

FF ~ 40

Sho ~ 100

Abs ~ 30

Dpr ~ 0

Spr ~ 0

F1 2010 (PS3)

Sen ~ 240

FF ~ 40

Sho ~ 100

Abs ~ 30

Dpr ~ -3

Spr ~ -3

Thank you very much. I tested your setup for Xbox360, and they are by far the best I tried !!

Great job !

PC Logitec G25 Heavy Wheel Settings

I've been enjoying the game for about a month and look forward to learning tracks as I follow the 2011 season. My wheel settings give a hard rubber on tarmac feel with rather twitchy precision. This is a bit different and more what I imagine F1 race car handling is like. Close to 1:1 mirroring of the on-screen wheel. Only tested for the Virgin car at Bahrain and Melbourne on dry tracks so far.

G25 Logitec Profiler Specific Game Settings F1 2010:-

Overall Effects Strength: 115%

Spring Effect Strength: 115%

Damper Effect Strength: 135%

Centring Spring Strength: 115% (enabled)

Use special steering wheel settings: (checked)

Degrees of Rotation: 802

In Game Settings:-

Steering Deadzone: 0%

Steering Saturation: 25%

Steering Linearity: 10%

Brake Deadzone: 0%

Brake Saturation: 100%

Feedback: On

Environmental Effects: 100%

Feedback Strength: 100%

Wheel Weight: 100%

IMPORTANT NOTE: Maybe something to do with the unusualness of these settings but after re-starting the game they might only be properly implemented/retained after going to the My F1 Driving Controls menu (making no changes) and then exiting back to the paddock. Not ideal but maybe interesting. This needs to be done each time the game is started but I think it well worth the results. Accessing the Driving Controls menu while on the track achieves the same result and the difference here is very clear.

[Boreas558 0]

After further testing I have been using a similar alternative setup to the above. On reflection lively is probably a better description for these setups than heavy. Again the Driving Controls menu needs to be accessed each time the game is started.

Logitec Profiler Specific Game Settings

[Boreas558 0]

Okay, based on my observation that steering linearity gets in the way of wheel on track feedback here is my final G25 setup taking a different approach which now works on restarting the game. Setting steering linearity at 25% produces the very solid stable feel that I like about this racing sim.

Logitec Profiler Specific Game Settings

Overall Effects Strength: 110%

Spring Effect Strength: 150%

Damper Effect Strength: 150%

Centring Spring Strength (enabled): 87%

I would also very much recommend trying 20% steering linearity for more responsive feedback. At 15% steering linearity there is yet more feedback but at low speeds wheel centering is not ideal. Lowering steering linearity to 10% or even 0% will gain further feedback but holding straight line might become problem at low or very high speeds.

Edit: I tested various slightly reduced force feedback settings allowing 0% steering linearity. I find slides are much more controllable with these settings and can often be recovered with minimal loss of pace. I would recommend trying the settings below first.

Logitec Profiler Specific Game Settings

Brake Saturation: 90% (better for quick dabs?)

Feedback (on)

Environmental Effects: 100%

Feedback Strength: 90%

Wheel Weight: 100%

You could try different combinations of either 90% or 100% for each of the three force feedback settings. With all three force feedback settings at 100% or with all three at 90% steering will be lively with quite a bit of wheel wobble at top speed and quite heavy turn-in during shallow braking turns or when accelerating from low speed. So with these settings only I would advise increasing steering linearity to 5%. Other combinations will be much less of a handful even with steering linearity at 0% and feedback strength at 100%. They all seem very drivable to me though and pretty quick.

Does anyone have any T500 settings for the PC version of F1?

Did some trial and error, the setting in the control panel are:

Constant 100%

Periodic 100%

Spring 10%

Damper 0%

Same as Darin showed in the review of the wheel.

My base in game settings settings were:

Steering Deadzone: 0%

Steering Saturation: 100%

Steering Linearity 30%

Throttle Deadzone: 0%

Throttle Saturation: 100%

Brake Deadzone: 0%

Brake Saturation: 100%

Feedback (on)

Environmental Effects: 100%

Feedback Strength: 100%

Wheel Weight: 100%

In the game I found an uncomfortable wheel shake at low and medium speed corners (felt the wheel vibrating a bit, the force feedback was not smooth and progressive). And in order to minimize that shake I turned down Environmental effects on FFB down to 30%. So far found this to be the best setting.

Anyone else have other T500 setups?

Hello, I just recieved my new Fanatic GT2 wheel and I am looking for a good wheel setting for F1 2010 on the Xbox. I am coming from the old Xbox Microsoft wheel so this is a big step up for me. I have played around a little with the settings but i am still a bit lost. Please help? Thank you!

[Scott Schaub 0]

Does anyone play this game anymore??? Fanatic GT2 Settings???

[John G. Hill 10]

Hope this helps. It took me a while to come up with these settings. I've noticed a lot of Fanatec wheel users have turned down or off, all the things I want from a high-end wheel, which is weight and force feedback. However, too much of a good thing can slow you down too.

These settings are just for the F1 2010 Codemasters game.
