Gtr2 ffb help ! (CSL DD)

manu68 · Nov 17, 2022

Hi.
I have installed (again) GTR2 and the fantastic update available here at racedepartment.

I would like to rediscover this fantastic game i played a lot in the past, but unfortunetaly the game is just unplayable with my csl dd wheel.

I have of course tried all the ffb config i could find here, tried to start from zero with Julien Regnard guide but without any success.
I just got a wheel i can manipulate with just a finger, no rumble, about nothing except strange spring effect.
If i left the wheel alone on straight, it just rotates like crazy and i go directly into side wall !

This is not my style to ask for nothing, but i am really lost.
I probably makes something wrong.

I don´t need as superb ffb as rfactor 2 or acc, but just a kind of playable steering resistance and basic effects.
I know it is possible because i played gtr2 long tome ago with my g25, and it was superb !

Hi,
I am not sure what exactly is going on but I'll start with reassuring you that your wheel should work (I use DD1) in GTR2. Not only that, Crew Chief GTR2 Enhancements plugin adds couple of FFB improvements, including FPS independent FFB and Real Feel Plugin support.

But of course, first step is to get basic FFB working. Try using CSL DD files from here:

SHO Competition FFB for GTR2

Video: Jimmy Broadbent tries GTR2 again with a very early version of the PLR parameters that would eventually become this mod. SHO Competition FFB for GTR2 is a GTR2/PnG3 mod of various UserData User.PLR file force feedback configuration...

Hi this is what i have done first, but i will check again the link above. Thanks !!
But i am not sure about the fanatec profile to use with.

I precise that i have the disc version with the no cd .exe, and not steam version.
Then no crew chief in my case.

Of course i will try until it works well, and share my own results.

I have all effects/filters off. Note that stock GTR2 has 240 degree steering animation, so without CCGEP steering won't match physical wheel (unless you use 240deg lock to lock).

Also, some buttons on wheel may not be recognized by the game. For that I use Joy2Key to map buttons to keyboard, other than that it works perfectly (even dual clutch works). I do have some spikes very infrequently, but they are so rare that they don't bother me.
