About this deal
When you first install your wheel, often the manufacturer will provide a guide on how to set up and calibrate your wheel. One thing to note about FFB settings is that these are subjective and what may be good for some may not be for others. For as long as we have been building some of the best racing simulators in the business, we have used Heusinkveld products.
However, for console players, the story is not the same as the individual lock setting needs to be set manually with the values stated above. Anyways, do any of you compete with top players with beginner setup or do you know any people doing so? Some drivers prefer a higher ratio, needing more steering lock to get the equivalent steering angle of a 1:1 ratio. This will create a ‘dead zone’ where the wheel will max its available output and you will lose feel at the harsher ends of force.There are some slight differences between the two wheels, however, the most significant being that the G920 is compatible with Xbox while the G29 with Playstation. The Logitech G29/G920 is one of the most popular force feedback wheels on the market and it is easy to see why. The Logitech G29/G920 is an absolutely superb package, especially for beginners, however, it doesn’t fail to satisfy experienced sim racers. Road effects will send an additional FFB effect to your wheel mimicking the forces felt through the car due to the road surface. Steer Lock – Steer Lock is the maximum amount of rotation the wheel can do from fully left to fully right before locking out.
It is widely thought that direct drive steering wheels such as the Fanatec range provide a better feel than belt driven and gear driven wheels, like the Logitech and Thrustmaster’s. When set correctly, you should be able to sense how the car is moving through the feeling in your hands, whether the car is understeering (feels light) or oversteering (sudden force) or even when the car is on its limit of grip. You can also record your own macro keystrokes for quick functions but this is not essential for playing ACC.

Or maybe you’ve been a long time Logitech user and are looking to find the best settings for the Logitech G29 to make you faster. With this said one of the advantages to a correct steering ratio is to give the car in which you are driving the correct steering response to the real-life counterpart.
