Fanatec CSR Elite wheel/pedals settings

[Sabre]

I think most people use Logitech products. I personally use Fanatec products.

It's probably a lot more hassle than it is worth to try to build your own electronics. You may want to experiment and build your own racing frame/cockpit, but that's as far as I would ever go with DIY.

Hi Tim, I've just assembled and installed my CSR Elite wheel/Pedals/Stand combo so you're the right person to talk to. Do you mind to share your Fanatec's settings:

Sensitivity (SEn):
Force feedback strength (FF):
Vibration strength (Sho):
Drift mode (dri):
ABS:
Linearity (Lin):
Deadzone (dEA):
Spring (SPr):
Damper (dPr):

Even if your model of the wheel is different this would give me a head-start to play with those values. If there are other in-game settings that you'd recommend please share as well.

Thanks,
Sabre.

Hi, I also run Fanatec products, all the way back to me (among others) beta testing their original Porsche 911 Turbo wheels. I had posted in reply to another thread here about a tip someone posted on the Elite and settings, but I think it's archived now in the older build section, so I'll copy and paste it here. To be clear, this is with rFactor 2 Beta. I don't think this steering torque filter setting is in rF 1:

100 ffb on wheel the rest up to you. 85-90% ffb per car
most importantly for the csr elite
Steering torque filter="32"
high numbers are supposed to introduce latency but as long as you can run 80 fps you wont get any at all with the elite.
I used to run 10 but had very vague ffb in the middle of the wheel setting to 32 cures this big time. Ive not noticed any loss in ffb fidelity with a high setting.

Thanks for the tip! I also use an Elite and that worked well. I even run triple screens in 3D (Nvidia 3D Vision surround) and didn't notice any latency @ 32 with my 2-way SLI setup. Default seemed to be 0? Hmm, guess that's safer not knowing what hardware/res people are running?

Anyway, when poking about in the FFB area of the controller settings I also noticed a line about "Use Damping" (default) or "Use Friction". Since damping was default I kept it that way but checking my Fanatec settings outside the game (general controller settings) , I had the damping slider on 10%. I think some run it @ 0. I don't recall what the Fanatec default is. Anyway, I upped it to 100% thinking if the game defaults to damping over friction, it must deliver damping cues to the wheel when set this way, so might as well let the wheel pass all of these effects through. Conclusion: I'm still testing, but initial few runs felt great!

Give it a try if not using already. I think I ran about 70% FFB strength in the RF2 car settings for the few I tested and it was really detailed and strong.

On the wheel settings I run sensitivity of 480, FFB 100 (read that you should lower it in-game, not on-wheel ideally to be most linear), ABS 88, SHO 100, everything else at zero. I used to have to run drift mode on the Fanatec GT2 or 911 wheels, but not with the Elite's new direct sensor and more FFB range.
