    Can you be more descriptive, what do you mean 'you can't set FFB'? You don't like the feel w/ these settings of 70/20?

    Yes...I feel "emptiness" while I'm driving... If I increase the gain too much, I get worse feeling

    Lower gain a bit and up your LFB a lot.

    Try 100 - 20 - 50
    Use F3 at Ibarra

    I like the current FFB detail on turns , I would appreciate more road detail but if I increase FX I lose detail on other aspect. Hoping in future updates but this is an acceptable base.

    I feel these settings are correct indeed for the Thrustmaster T300, only thing that I've changed is the FX effects on the wheel as I don't like the ratteling of the wheel for vibrations. I've dialed it down to 15, it still provides some rumble but not too much.

    Having these settings keeps the FFB nice within the clipping limits, sometimes it might clip a little but that's just a fraction of the time. Like stated above It's important to keep the Thrustmaster settings at Default so that means that Overal Strength Force of FFB should be at 75% in the Thrustmaster Tool.

    On some cars like the Stock Car Brazil you might want to dial down the gain a little but for most cars these settings are perfect. Anything higher than the values provided above will only result in a heavier steering wheel but you will loose the details and you will put a higher strain on your wheel.

    I have on a tspc

    Gain 50-60 car depending
    Lfb 30
    Fx 40

    Seems ok

    My cp is set at 100 ffb though.

    But theres confusion over lfb at the moment hence why the devs rolled back. Something not right with it.

    So it's hard to get optimal ffb settings as it all could change

    it is indeed.

    it depends on the car, track, FFB settings , steering wheel , personal taste -- > a nightmare

    I hope we get the ability to change FFB settings on the fly, I have PC2 gain/FX etc mapped to rotary switches, so if a particular car feels a bit flat you can twiddle the knobs and get it perfect while you are driving. It's a really useful feature to have I think.

    With a TS-PC-Racer GTR-Rim ,it is 75!

    I think to compromise the weight or so. If I am running my F1 wheel I use 42/34. When running my BMW I need to use 46/38 or 44/36

    It would be good to save ffb settings per car, once set then it's done. Besides, I have my brake balance mapped to my rotary knob :cool:

    With one of Derek Speare's fine button boxes you've got plenty of rotary switches to go at :). (*Other button boxes are available o_O)

    First:All on standard in TS Control Panel.100 gain is much to high and not recomended by Thrustmaster.Do not set it higher than 75-80.
    Second:Adjust it ingame to your likeing.I have 60/50/20-or 0 FX.
    Third:Wait for the next Beta as FFB will change,and you can start all over again.:D
