How To Enable Force Feedback In Iracing
Iracing Force Feedback Test Program

You don't need the profiler for force feedback. For some reason, my logitech profiler won't work at all, the program just won't open. The wheel installs basic driver software so it will still work without the logitech profiler though the profiler can be very useful, especially when you want to assign keystrokes to certain buttons. Force Feedback Diagnostic Program This is a small utility program you can download to test the force feedback capabilities of your joystick. If FS Force doesn't seem to be working properly, you can use this utility to test your joystick, which can be helpful in determining if the problem is with FS Force, your system, or your joystick.

Logitech G Series Settings in Windows

If you have a preferred way to get to your Logitech wheel setting in Windows, open the Settings box. If you’re not sure, here are the steps:

1. Click Start, then click Control Panel. If you’re using Windows 10, RIGHT CLICK Start, then click Control Panel.

2. Type “game controllers” in the search box, without the quotes.

3. Under “Devices and Printers” click “Set up USB game controllers.”

4. In the small window that pops up, select the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel USB, then click Properties.

5. In the next screen, click the Settings button.

You should now see one of these Windows, depending on how you got to the Settings. It’s the same information organized differently. If you’re using the new software provided with the G29 and G920 wheels, it may look different.

Click the Defaults button then move the Degrees of Rotation slider all the way to the right to 900°. Click Close, then click OK in the next window. If you have read about wheel settings either here or in the iRacing forums before, you might be scratching your head now. This is what iRacing recommends. Go with it and try it for a while.

The next thing to do is to open the iRacing simulation and calibrate your wheel.

Logitech G27, G29, and G920 Settings and Calibration in iRacing

Some or all of these settings may also work for the Logitech Driving Force GT (DFGT).

1. Set Damping to 0%. It is not needed.

2. Uncheck Use linear mode unless you have a very fancy, high end wheel.

3. Set the Strength between 8 and 20. I use 8. I don’t like a whole lot of force feedback.

4. Set Min Force to 10 for now. You can adjust min force as you begin using the wheel in the simulation. If the wheel oscillates, chatters or vibrates while you are driving straight, you need to turn down the min force. If you aren’t feeling small force feedback inputs, you should turn up the min force. Somewhere between 8 and 12 is usually good on the G27. Min force is probably not needed on the G29/G920, but you can try it if you like.

5. Click Steering under Input Calibration, as shown below.

6. Set your steering wheel at dead center by sight.

7. Click reset. This zeroes the wheel at dead center as shown in the image below.

8. Follow the instructions on the screen. When you “return to center,” make sure “Pos:” is at 50% before you click Done, as shown in the image below.

9. Click Done to get to the next step.

10. When you turn your wheel 90° to the left as instructed, be sure to turn the wheel 90° to the left by sight, regardless of the numbers that iRacing shows on the screen. I use the hex screw heads around the center of the G27 wheel to set mine. Most wheels fall somewhere around 870° instead of exactly 900°.

11. Click Done, then click Done again to complete the calibration and exit the wizard.

12. Calibrate the pedals and gearbox if necessary.

How to Set and Save Your Force Feedback For Each Car in iRacing

This is most interesting and it works very well.

1. Load the iRacing simulation in a test session with a favorite car and track.

2. Drive at least two laps.

3. Stop right on the track and press F9. That brings up the Graphics Adjustment black box, shown below.

4. FFB strength is shown at the bottom of the black box. If you made at least two laps you will see auto in the lower right corner. Click auto to set your force feedback for this car.

5. To save your force feedback for this car, you need to click Options. In the lower left corner of the Options screen, click Use custom controls for this car, as shown below.

Below here is the method and the wheel settings I used in the distant past. You can try this if you like, but I highly recommend the method and settings above. If you have any comments, questions, or discussions, Join OSR Voice/Text Chat.

Logitech G Series Settings in Windows

Force Feedback Wheel

First of all, the Windows settings for your wheel. For the G29 and G920, this will look different for you but you should be able to get the idea here. Make sure these are correct before you proceed to the iRacing setup and calibration. There are a couple of different ways to get to this settings page. Here’s one that should work on most Windowssystems. There are a couple of ways to get to this screen, and it might look a little different depending on how you get there. This is one way.

Click Start, then click Control Panel. If you’re using Windows 10, RIGHT CLICK Start, then click Control Panel.
Type “game controllers” in the search box, without the quotes.
Under “Devices and Printers” click “Set up USB game controllers.”
In the small window that pops up, select the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel USB, then click Properties.
In the next screen, click the Settings button.

You should now be viewing this screen:

Salient points:

1. You should set your Overall Effects Strength to 100% instead of 105% or 106%, then use the Min Force setting in the iRacing simulator. There is more about Min Force below.

2. Do not check combined. I know it says it’s used for most games, but it won’t work for iRacing.

3. Degrees of Rotation shouldbe set to 900° if you want to get the full benefit of this fine racing wheel in iRacing. There are other ways to set the wheel that involve changing the settings in iRacing also. Overall, 900° is going to be the way to go.

4. Note that the Centering Spring is enabled but set to 0%. This is the setting that is recommended by iRacing.

5. Make sure “Allow Game To Adjust Settings” is checked.

Some or all of these settings may also work for the Logitech Driving Force GT (DFGT).

1. Click Steering under Input Calibration, as shown below.

2. Set your steering wheel at dead center by sight.

3. Click reset. This zeroes the wheel at dead center.

4. Follow the instructions on the screen. When you “return to center,” make sure “Pos:” is at 50% before you click Done.

5. Click Done to get to the next step.

6. When you turn your wheel 90° to the left as instructed, make sure to set the wheel so that the “Approximate lock-to-lock range (deg):” reads 900° before you click Done, as shown in the image below.

7. Click Done, then click Done again to complete the calibration and exit the wizard.

Logitech G27, G29, and G920 Settings in iRacing

These are my G27 wheel settings within iRacing. This may be a good starting point, and you can tweak these and see how they affect your wheel. Since I wrote this, I have actually changed my Strength to 5 and my Min force to 0.

1. The Wheel range and Map range are configured when you calibrate your wheel, and you should not change these.

2. The Brake Force factor has a fairly dramatic effect on how much braking force is applied when you depress the brake pedal. Higher settings apply more force. I prefer the somewhat low setting as shown. Before iRacing Dirt, I had it set a little lower. On asphalt I turned with the steering wheel. On dirt, I sometimes use the brake to get the car rotated around and set right for the corner.

3. Set Damper to OFF. You don’t need it. It was only left there because it was there in NASCAR 2003. That
