There are a number of actions you don’t need to worry about but the main ones ( you may want to change) are: To modify the config file to suit personal tastes just go to the appropriate action and enter the desired button. Eg Where the Logitech Profile says Button 1, this is win_con_di_button0, as the buttons are 0 based. The button names are win_con_di_buttonX where X is the button minus -1 on your logitech profiler. You’ll see a deviceName of 04dc29b, that is your Logitech G27. The Axis elements are the mappings you want to modify. Once you’ve got the file open in your favourite text editor, you’ll see it’s just a typical xml file, made up of Action elements and Axis child elements. Before you make any changes be sure to make a backup of this file. For the Logitech G27, this is called ‘G27 Racing Wheel.xml’. Within that folder you should find a file matching your controller. Doing the following will mean your custom settings will never again be lost.Įach device is mapped in a xml config file found in the actionmap folder where your game is installed. This is doubly useful because I’ve found that the game occasionally loses my mappings. I’ve taken this one step further and changed the default mappings for my G27, so I can use the buttons I want to use and still use choose ‘Logitech G27’ in game.

You can change the default start button using the method detailed here. On the Logitech G27 this is the second rightmost red button above the gear stick, by default. To use your wheel, instead press your wheels Start button. If you select this with your keyboards Enter key, the game will use Keyboard as the input method. I’ve also found that how you click on “Start Game” determines what controller will be used. To fix this, ensure your Override Input Devide Type is set to None (and not Steering Wheel). It takes large movements of my wheel to move the in game wheel a small amount, then moving my wheel only a little more makes the game wheel turn much faster proportionately. I’ve also experienced a problem where my wheel seems to lag. That is you won’t be able to detect when you’re about to lose control. Otherwise you won’t get the sensation of the steering getter lighter as the front wheels lose grip. It is important to set the wheel weight a value lower than the Force Feedback. Where you can the level of Force Feedback and wheel weight. I want to use a bit of skill in keeping from locking, as well as ensuring I’m getting maximum braking force.Īnother important setting is in the Force Feedback section. My preference is to adjust the sensitivity such that the brakes will lock when the pedal is almost fully depressed.

This is unrealistic and raises concerns over whether or not the driver is gettng the maximum braking force. With 0% brake it’s possible to mash the brake pedal to the floor and not lock the brakes. Using 100% will make the car far too sensistive to throttle and brake inputs. Perfect.Ī big change is the amount of Throttle and Brake saturation to use. This gives an in game wheel that maps 1:1 with your actual steering wheel, so when you’re turned 90 degrees left on your wheel, your in game wheel is turned 90’s left. The settings I use for my Logitech G27 with 900 degrees of rotation are as follows: I personally am leadfooted (some say I have too much muscle, or perhaps I just need firmer pedals).

If you feel your car setup is good but you still can’t drive as smoothly as you’d like, have a play with various values for the above. Helpful if you’re applying too much brake and frequently locking. Set to a lower value to reduce sensitivity. The higher this value the more you can press on the brake pedal without applying the brake in game. Helpful if you like to push your throttle down a long way when exiting corners, as a lower sensitivity will reduce wheelspin. The higher this value the more you can press on the throttle pedal without applying throttle in game. The amount of turn of your wheel compared to the amount of wheel turn in game.

How quickly your wheel responds to your movements. The higher this value the more you can more your wheel without it moving your car. The percent of rotation where steering is ignored.
