Need help with Logitech Driving Force GT?

[Brandon]

With the Logitech Driving Force GT, try my settings for Dirt3. They work well IMHO.

In Windows 'game controllers' control panel or Logitech Profiler: first reset to default. Then set the 'overall effects strength' to 101% (edit, I've recently turned this up to 107%, for me it feels stiffer at center. Just make sure its >100%), set 'centering spring strength' to 0%, set 'degrees of rotation' to 360 degrees, and uncheck 'allow game to adjust settings'.

In Dirt 3: go to options>controls>advanced wheel settings, then make sure saturations are at 100% and deadzones and linearity are at 0. For most DFGT's, you're gonna want to set the brake deadzone to 5% because sometimes the pedal drags (look at your brake lights in 3rd person view to see if yours does it too).
Then go to options>feedback and vibration, and set as follows from top to bottom
Vibration strength: 20
Wheel strength: 60
Wheel weight: 30

Do all this and the DFGT should feel pretty darn good with minimal FFB deadzone and good delivery of all feedback effects, without overloading the wheel motor (causing clipping).

I turned up the force feedback settings, i like a strong response. I feel more in control that way.

I never got this silly game to work well with my GT Driving Force. I just use a controller.

In windows, open the start menu and type usb game in the search and open the usb game controller panel. In this window, do you see the DFGT?

Yes i do. It is listed.

And the wheel isn't on the list of controller profiles in Dirt3? I guess you can always create a custom profile in game.

Thanks, I was a little bit too quick uninstalling the CD-copy of Dirt 3. So I forgot to make a screenshot of my steering wheel settings for the Dirt 3 Complete Edition I now got from Steam.

The above mentioned settings feel a little bit too light for my taste.

I do remember checking out several settings for the F1 2012 game to get a good setup for the DFGT, and that really helped my to tune my own preferred settings for that game. So I would be very thankfull if you guys could share your DFGT settings and the experience with these settings in Dirt 3.
