To avoid having to change your wheel rotation every time, I have found it's best to turn off "range set by vehicle" and match the "default max wheel angle" and "steering wheel range" to what you have in your software. Works fine in every car for me 👍

[KindJoe]

Always loved the feel of rF2 but hated the UI and all of the 'fine detail' you had to set correctly for things to work the way they should. Solid info in the videom, thanks Dave.

Dave - AMAZING VIDEO! The benefit for the rF2 community, hell, simracing community as a whole that a video such as this one brings is immense! Thank you very much for taking the time to make a video like this!

holly cow, now I see how effortless it was in my case - especially with FFB setting, rotation. It worked right away, I was lucky I guess. rF2 is still sometimes the pain in the middle earth but once you get it right, you get the best.

Cheers for all the hard work (again) collating all this Dave. Hope the comments becomes an even better resource for hints at tips for getting RF2 working smoothly for more people too :)

Hello Dave, I've noticed you've set 900 to your steering range in-game, but 1440 in the driver software. To have a 1:1 movement, the range in-game HAS to match the steering software's range. Hope it helps

Wow. I've been playing rfactor2 for over 3 years and I never knew that yellow car fix. Brilliant! Glad you're enjoying the sim so much and I've been loving your recent Rfactor2 content :)

Cheers Dave, was driving the brabham on le grand 1967 and kept getting rear ended as I had no mirrors to see them coming, big help 😊

Great video Dave 👍🏼
I posted a couple of remarks to solve your pain in the Asetek gamesettings Discord Dave.
The automatic wheel rotation match does work in RF2.
-rotation limit mode > software
-max wheel angle mode> custom
-default max wheel angle> 900°
-range set by vehicle> on

The general FFB figure should be set to let's say 60%.
That way you never break your thumbs, or have a clipping signal, and you can dial up or down on car specific FFB.

Dave - THANK YOU!!!! We all Greatly appreciate these videos and the time you took to help us all out to have an ease of time …. You are a Legend👍🤘✌️

[CharlesK]

Thanks Dave. Some of the setting you mentioned (not all), I found myself by tinkering. The one thing i just could not get right was the wheel rotation. I will try your method as well as the others in comments 😊
Just got to wai to get my PC back 👍🏾🙏🏾

[SixxiePlays]

Thanks DaveCam’ I’ll give these settings a go. I uninstalled RF2 sometime ago because I couldn’t figure out these quirks.

[YeahImAnthony]

Thank you Dave, see you in the races!

[brad_owen]

Great stuff Dave, been playing RF2 for years and didn't now some of that info, Cheers.

[luckychopp]

Thanks for the video Dave. Followed the steps and now the game is performing much better. I really like the Radicals. They're not up to the quality of the SR8's in IRacing, which was/is my favorite car in the sim. but I think they're a more fun then the SR10's in IRacing, which I can't stand to drive because of how bad they understeer. So RF2 might be where I get Radical fix moving forward. :)

I take my last comment back about this sim. Mods and dlc feel totally different just got the btcc pack it’s epic

[petercutts]

Took alook at "Mr Kirby" as you suggested in one of your previous videos.
He did mention that in the race there was a World Famous Y/tube Star in the line up!?
Liked and subscribed.

I don't know why the steering settings shown @4:35 don't work for Dave (maybe Asetek being weird), but on my G29 these exact settings work perfectly. Mind you, initially I had an issue with the calibration. Due to the stupid deadzone in the middle all G29s have, my manual calibration was out by 2 degrees, so the rotation never matched any cars with less than 900 degrees of rotation. The solution is to go to rFactor2\UserData\player in your Steam folder and edit the Controller JSON file. Scroll to Steering Wheel Maximum Rotation Default and set it to 900 for G29 or more if you have a different base. I also set the Steering Wheel Maximum Rotation from Driver to "false" since I never change the rotation in the software. That locks the rotation to 900 degrees regardless of what the Logitech driver decides to do. That in fact might be the reason Dave was having issues with the rotation. Either that or the fact the Asetek software shows a rotation of 1440 degrees @7:32 but the in-game setting is at 900. Follow all of the steps above and, at least in the case of the G29 (presumably also G920 and G923), all will work perfectly.

Your videos always help out big time I will try that tonight. If this works I will move on to AMS 2 lol try to set that one up

[philmartin]

Thanks. You've talked me out of trying this game.
