Thank you! what settings can you recommend me?
For GTE use Beanos Settings.
They are excellent.
In iRacing Double click on the torque button. It must be set to NM. Then set the iRacing Torque-slider to to e.g. 55 NM.
I found those settings a bit sluggish with lower torque values. Haven’t tried them with higher torque though.
You can reduce D, F and I a bit with lower torque, I run at higher torque levels, these are needed to stabilise the servo at those levels, plus, I quite enjoy the FFB then, it is not overly active and noisy/spiky, imho, but I know a lot of people prefer the more active feedback.

I definitely plan on trying your settings again now that I have gotten used to the wheel and see how they feel now. With my current settings I get a bit grainy feel in the FFB, which is probably not very realistic. Will play around with the filters you mentioned and see if I can get to a point it feels responsive and smooth at my torque levels!
Cheers, sounds good, let me know if I can give further feedback, but there are some comments on my settings on the start of my latest videos…
For the record, I do not set the SC2 differently for each car, I develope a base setting on one car and use them for all cars on iRacing. There are exceptions, like open-wheel vs tin-tops, but for GTE/GT3 etc, I just use the same setting.
Cars are different, steering behaviour between them all are very different, exacerbated by setups differences, for example, castors, cambers, tire-pressures, etc…so one should not strive for all cars to feel the same wrt ffb, as they are all (intentionally and by design) very different in behaviour, at least in iRacing, which to me is the standard wrt ffb, even with a lower rate than other sims, the behaviour is by far the best…again, just imho…
Cheers,
Beano

Same here Beano, using exactly the same TD settings for the Audi RS3, GTE’s and NASCAR’s in iRacing. The only thing I tweak is the overall level of FFB.
I did the same thing with the Bodnar and Lenze too.
Mind sharing your settings?

Oh i love these Beanos settings. Feels great with 488 GTE and 55Nm in iRacing. But for example Z4 GT3 steering felt too light so i lowered iR Nm to 45 and now it is way better.
I tried them too yesterday and God it feels great. I won in 2nd with it in first try ! I luv it Thanks Beanos for sharing these settings
Cheers Guys, you’re welcome. FFB is pretty subjective, sone would luv it, others would hate it.,…glad it works for you though, it at least is a good stable baseline one could start from.
Re: Z4 bmw, yes, that usually is lighter than other cars, so reducing the torque-slider in iRacing to that 35-40nm level should give a more solid feel.
Cheers,
Beano

I tried these settings with the 448GTE a nice FFB … but I notice that when I hit a wall even if I go slowly the steering wheel with very strong strokes
Stay away from the walls or hit that e-stop or there will be pain 
in fact, the first time I was losing an arm …
I tried a version of your base line today (I named it after Mika, so I assume I saw his modified version somewhere) and I must say, it really does feel very good on the GT3. I’ll race with it for a while and then go back to my old settings and compare. But I have a feeling I’ll stick with yours 
I know your settings felt too sluggsih the first time. But that was with Audi TCR and I just switched from T300 to SC 2 Sport. I’ll have to give Audi another try and see how your settings feel now. I know I really like it AMG GT3!
Yep, I think the first time we get into dd wheels, we want to have a similar type of rattle ffb the cheaper plastic wheels give…whilst it sure feels like fun, it is actually distracting and not conducive to fast lap-times…
This probably must be the reason faster aliens run with very low ffb on the entry-level wheels.
So it is quite natural when you migrate to dd, the first impression is to replicate the spiky/noisy ffb signal. But, I have learned that with proper settings, eliminating the spikes and the noise via filters, I can actually tell/feel much better what the car is telling me.
It is the most wonderful experience the first time you overdrive a GT3 or GTE car, you enter a low-speed corner, way to late on the brakes, and you can feel the tires scrubbing, or, the side-wall deflecting when you turn in.
Admittedly, my ffb torque-level might be on the higher side, but like mentioned, if you lower the torque, you can make small changes to D, F and I too, it will allow a pretty realistic ffb experience, but just with lower torque. Set it at whatever is comfortable for you personally.
For those that are concerned about hitting walls and stuff, you can always lower the ffb % in the TD software, perhaps down to 60-65%,whilst lowering the torque-slider in iRacing to 35-40nm, just make sure you are not clipping ffb in iRacing then.
But, generally, I run torque % 100 in the TD GUI, with iRacing slider 40-45nm, depending on the car, and I just keep it off the walls.
Practice race-craft around Mt Panorama/Bathurst, you don’t want to make contact there at high-speed, ouch…

Beano do you have a baseline setup for the open wheel cars?
I will be using SC2 pro.
How is summer in Oz?
It is getting Brrrrrrrr cold in eastern USA!
Ha, Joe, had a hot almost 40deg C day today, it then a late-afternoon cool-change, now around 24 or so. That’s Melbourne for you.
Tomorrow I am heading to Seoul, where it is probably closer to zero, haha.
Wrt settings, I haven’t really done anything for open-wheelers since Bogeyman. If you’re not sorted by then, I can look into something when I return after 2 weeks, just let me know…
Keep warm, turn up that torque
Hi Beano,
Oh my, central Texas weather you are having there.
I will likely not have had time to fiddle with settings before the next 2 weeks, so I will be happy to try your settings. I am hoping to drive the Skippy and F3 car in iRacing soon.
