Steering Wheel Rotation

UserData\User\Controller.ini:

Steering Wheel Range="900" // Degrees of rotation of in-game steering wheel

Default: 270

Steering Center Deadzone

Try these in Controller.ini:

FFB steer force neutral range="0.00450" // Max distance from center "neutral force" location where forces are reduced to help avoid oscillation (0.0 to disable)

FFB steer force neutral function="1.00000" // Function to apply near neutral force location, in order to tune out FFB "deadzone" but keeping oscillations in check: 0.0=original, 1.0=new

TrackIR Tracking Speed

Glance Angle="2.50000" // Angle to look left/right (yaw) w/ controller in radians (= degrees / 57)

Default: 0.75000

Borderless Windowed Mode

Use Borderless Gaming 9.5.6+ to enable a true borderless windowed mode

You can select Windowed mode in the graphics options app but it still leaves borders, a title bar, and the bottom and right of the screen are cut off.

RealFeel FFB

• Warning: If you have a strong wheel that might hurt you from unexpected movements, lower its max strength to a safe level (I lowered mine to 50% on a 25Nm SimuCube 2 Pro)
• Critical: Set Steer Ratio Speed="0.00000" in UserData\User\Controller.ini or RealFeel will deliver crazy jolty ffb to your wheel and you'll think RealFeel is bad
• Not sure this is related but set Speed Sensitive Steering="0.00000" in UserData\User\Controller.ini to avoid magic automatic steering that will throw you off and think something's wrong with RealFeel
• Download RealFeelPlugin.dll (here or here)
  • Possibly helpful tutorial here
• Place RealFeelPlugin.dll in rFactor\Plugins
• Start game, get out on track, and immediately exit: A rFactor\RealFeelPlugin.ini will be generated that you can tweak
  • You can't just copy&paste in your own RealFeelPlugin.ini before a first run with RealFeelPlugin.dll, apparently, at least I wasn't getting any steering forces until I deleted my ini, started the game, got out on track, immediately exited, RealFeelPlugin.ini was generated, and it then it started working.
• SteerForceInputMax:
  • It seeems this must be SteerForceInputMax=-65535.000000 (+/- if you wheel pulls the wrong way) or you don't get any steering forces at all
