Quick Setup Guide for a Logitech G27 Wheel and Project Cars

Basic setup Guide for a Logitech G27 Wheel and Project Cars.

Overview

This is just an initial setup. It seems to keep the Force Feedback Clipping to a minimal and is approaching my iRacing setup (maybe a touch stronger). I've just focused on the main settings I've identified as the amount of settings can be a bit overwhelming. I will add more as I refine it with time.

Logitech Profiler Setup

In-Game: Force Feedback Settings

• Tire Force: 80 ( This value determines the percentage of how much the tires influence force feedback. The higher this number the more you'll feel bumps on the road. If your car is rattling like crazy on a straight you might want to set this lower. This is influenced by the force feedback value.)
  
• Steering Gain: 101 ( The default value of 300 makes the steering feel way to heavy. The lower, the less heavier the wheel feels. I personally don't enjoy having my wrists aching after a hour of play. This is just my preference )

In-Game: Configuration

• Force Feedback: 95 ( This determines the overall force feedback strength. Typically the higher this value, the lower you want to set the Tire Forces value. )

Go to pCars forums and search for "Jack Spade FFB Tweker Files". Enjoy.

Most likely. You too! In which ever game of your choosing. :)

No problems.

With regards to Asseto Corsa, it's been out for a long time now. Good and stable, it just has the worst menu system ever. I hate having to use a mouse in menu's. Other than that, it's great.

I think you might be thinking of Automobilista (previously know as Stock Car Extreme) which is still in beta I think.

Happy racing.

Ah! Thanks so much for the help. Never played Asseto Corsa or iRacing. Didn't like the buisness model for iRacing myself, not enough to warrent the money I'd have to lay down, atleast.

Asseto Corsa is on my radar, but I'm waiting until it's in a more stable state (Last I saw it was in Alpha or Beta, or something like that)

The other settings that I don't know of, I'll have a change around and see what happpens, do as you said, just test my little heart out.

Again, much thanks!

I'm glad you're up and running. With regards to the steering and pedal sensitivity, my settings are also at the default 50%. Not sure if it will make a difference. I'll have to test it.

The amount of force feedback settings are a bit overwhelming in this game. I personally think that Asseto Corsa / iRacing default force feedback settings are significantly better, and they have way less options. But that's part of the fun of owning a wheel is tweeking settings.

I've found the easiest way to determine what the effects of changing a setting are is to change settings to the extremes i.e) 0 or 100. See what happens. If you don't notice a difference just leave it where it is :) The other option is to google, but eventually you're going to have to test yourself. A lot of this stuff is subjective.

I had the profiler and I have the Logitech software since I had a Logitech keyboard AND steering wheel.

In the Logitech program itself, I can change the center spring options, but I cannon change the first 3 options which you show in your screenshot.

For the most part, using the settings that I could change, it works near enough flawlessly, I personally have Steering gain: 105 and Tire Force 90, but that's down to my taste.

I don't know what the "Overall Strength" "Spring effect Strength" and "Damper Effect Strength" actually change. I haven't notice alot of difference with the handling so far compared to my previous wheel, then again, I have no idea how those 3 options being changed would effect me at all.

(Also, I found that my pedals (each of them) and my steering sensitivity is on 50% by default in the program itself, is it worth having these to 100%?)

Have you tried to download the latest version of Logitech Gaming Software? I had issues when I downloaded the latest. I had to revert to a previous to make my G27 work. It might also explain why your gt is working (using older drivers).

I just got myself a G29 and I'm trying to figure out how I can get my Logitech profiler to see my steering wheel, but it cannot. Where as my Logitech Driving Force GT it did. Any ideas or help? or maybe even a setup for someone with a G29? :D
