Assetto Corsa Thrustmaster T300 Settings

Giovaneveterano · Mar 3, 2017

Hi everyone, here we are with my personal settings for the Thrustmaster T300 for the PC version of Assetto Corsa. If you want more infos about the FFB, I suggest you to read this post of Luca Sodano from @kunos and this article on Reddit. Have a look at the settings below or download the files for an easy setup.

Thrustmaster Control Panel

Degree of Rotation: 900°
Overall FFB: 100%
Constant: 100%
Periodic: 100%
Spring: 100%
Damper: 0%
Auto-Center: by the game

In-game Settings

Degree of Rotation: 900°
Gain: 75%
Filter: 0%
Minimum Force: 2%
Kerb Effects: 0%
Road Effects: 0%
Slip Effects: 0%
ABS effects: 0%

Gamma: 1.00
Filter: 0.00
Speed Sensitivity: 0.00
Brake Gamma: 2.40

Enabled Gyro

Open assettocorsa\system\cfg\assetto_corsa.ini using Notepad:
[FF_EXPERIMENTAL]
ENABLE_GYRO=1
DAMPER_MIN_LEVEL=0.12
DAMPER_GAIN=1.0

Post Processing

Open Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg\ff_post_process.ini using Notepad:
[HEADER]
VERSION=1
TYPE=GAMMA
ENABLED=1

[GAMMA]
VALUE=0.8

[LUT]
CURVE=mylut.lut

I hope this helps someone else with the T300 to get a more immersive FFB feel.

What's the difference between this and reversing the strength values (ex. TM Overall FFB=70%, then in-game Gain=80%)?

Here is what I use:
FFB settings with GYRO enabled:
IMPORTANT: go to :\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\system\cfg and open the Assetto Corsa INI using Notepad.
Go to the [FF_EXPERIMENTAL] section and set ENABLE_ GYRO=1 and set DAMPER_MIN_LEVEL=0.01 and save. Should look like this:
[FF_EXPERIMENTAL]
ENABLE_GYRO=1
DAMPER_MIN_LEVEL=0.01
DAMPER_GAIN=1.0

IMPORTANT: go to :\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg and open the ff_post_process INI using Notepad and make sure that it looks like this:
[HEADER]
VERSION=1
TYPE=LUT
ENABLED=0

[GAMMA]
VALUE=0.5

[LUT]
CURVE=doesn't_matter.lut
----------------------------
In the Thrustmaster control panel:
Overall Strength: 90%
Constant: 100%
Periodic: 100%
Spring: 0%
Damper: 100%
Auto-center: By the game
--------------------
In game:
Gain: 80%
Filter: 0%
Min force: 6%
Kerb: 0%
Road: 0%
Slip: 0%
Understeer: UNCHECKED

(total FFB strenght) = (TM overall FFB) x (in-game gain)
mine total strenght is 0,9 x 0,6 = 0,54

You can swap the values as you wish, just keep in mind the proportion.
With your example the total FFB strenght is 0,7 x 0,8 = 0,56 and it's pretty close to mine (only 2% difference).

Guys, do you use 100% for each car (+/- key on numpad), as personal setting? Or do you decrease it? I just wonder about your overall strength settings, since I use only 60% strength in Thrustmaster settings and appr. 70% in AC.

Michael Hornbuckle · May 24, 2017

Every now and then I will adjust a few percentage either way for a mod car, but for 99% of vanilla content I leave it at the default 100.

On GT3 cars my personal gain is between 90 and 94

I use the FFBClip app, so it adjusts automatically depending on the mode (I use Light mode). Values vary around the range 95-105.

I highly recommend you use some spring setting. Spring is where the ffb for understeer comes from and with a 0 setting it will feel quite numb.

I'll give it a try

Thank You Michael and Federico for your settings. I can now actually feel tire grip with my T300.

Finally what configuration did you use ??

tlsmikey · May 24, 2017

I have a T500, but here are my settings:

Thrustmaster panel:
Strength = 60% (for T500 this is the most linear reponse)
Constant = 100%
Periodic = 100%
Spring = 100%
Damper = 20%

In AC:
Strength = 81%
Filter = 10% (probably not needed on T300, its harsh on T500 due to strength)
Min Force = 4%

Effects:
Curb = 45%
Road - 38%
Slip = 27%

No changes to config file, GAMMA or anything else.

I used Michael's settings. The .ini changes really made a difference.

Me to. Did not know about that gyro stuff but it turned out to be really good. I will give a try now to the settings above from mikey, reg. the spring and strength. 90% strength in TM panel is way too much.

I have a T300 since little time ago and with this config -except Damper=0 for me- is the best I tried so, many thanks, Michael.

I have to take a look putting some value to Spring, as some of you said.
