Please leave feedback for others if you use these settings,  Thanks

Tried your settings. There was no feel at all for me. I'm going to have a tinker tonight. I'm really struggling to find the sweet spot. All the settings I've tried so far have been far too heavy or far too light.

Did you try my settings from first page? It's the basic proportions you should probably aim to, then just adjust them up or down to your liking.

to get more feedback from my setting all you need to do is raise the Self Aligning Torque  by 5% increments until you find the feel you prefer..

EDIT:

My Thrustmaster TX ffb setting on xb1

This is a slight modification on the thrustmaster recommended settings from their Facebook page. I felt they were a bit heavy and on gravel/dirt they were far too jerky.
I run at 540 degrees of rotation

•Self aligning torque.... 50% - 80% I change this from car to car
•Wheel friction.............. 15%
•Tyre friction.................. 150%
•Suspension.................. 90 - 130% I change this depending on the road surface. Lower for gravel, higher for concrete and asphalt
•Tyre slip.........................150%
•Engine...,.........................150%
•Collision......................... 80%
•Soft lock........................150%
•Steering center force.....100%

I love that you can tweak the settings at any time. Makes fine tuning a lot easier.
This is the best ffb setting I've got so far. I set up a rally cross race in the mini and tweaked the settings. My lap times improved no end.
Self aligning torque.... 50%
Wheel friction.............. 50%
Tyre friction.................. 65%
Suspension.................. 50%
Tyre slip.........................60%
Engine...,.........................55%
Collision......................... 60%
Soft lock........................72%
Steering center force.....55%

This is by no means the finished article but with the thrustmaster tx on the Xbox one. It feels to me like a move in the right direction. 
I did try the same settings on pikes peek in one of the rear wheel beasts and it felt a bit too light.
Any feedback would be appreciated

I would suggest trying with Tyre Slip turned to minimal and Wheel Friction to off.
And PP has only 4WD cars.

Thrustmaster tips about the FFB, i followed these tips step by step and it works perfectly, very good FFB settings !!!!!!!

DiRT RALLY on PlayStation 4 & Xbox One TIPS:
Force Feedback settings Thrustmaster Wheels.
About the Rotation Angle, in OPTIONS / CONTROLS / ADVANCED WHEEL SETTINGS
To optimize the gameplay, we recommend you to:
Step 1) Access to CALIBRATE DEVICE and calibrate the steering wheel:
# 1080° for T150, T300 & T500 wheels
# 900° for TX Wheels
Step 2) Activate SOFT LOCK option.
Once the process is completed, the wheel Lock will be automatically adjusted to your cars.
Remark: To match the same ratio as the cockpit view go to OPTIONS / PREFENCES / COCKPIT DRIVER & WHEEL then select WHEEL ONLY
About the Force Feedback, go to OPTIONS / CONTROLS / VIBRATION & FEEDBACK
To optimize the general feeling, you can try these settings:
# VIBRATION & FEEDBACK = On
# SELF ALIGNING TORQUE = 125 % for T150 - 95 % for T500 % - 125 % for T300 % - 77 % for TX
• Self Aligning Torque is one of the most important setting
• You can reduce this setting (not too much to keep related effects) for recent cars with small rotation angle or for dirt tracks
• You can increase this setting (not too much to avoid wheel clipping) for old cars with big rotation angle or for ice tracks or snow tracks
# WHEEL FRICTION = 0% for T150 & T500 - 15 % for T300 & TX (keeping low the Wheel Friction setting is important to avoid not natural friction on the wheel)
# TYRE FRICTION = 100% for T150 – 90% for T500 - 150 % for T300 & TX
# SUSPENSION = 100% for T150 – 90% for T500 - 150 % for T300 & TX
# TYRE SLIP = 100% for T150 – 90% for T500 - 150 % for T300 & TX
# ENGINE = 100% for T150 – 90% for T500 - 150 % for T300 & TX
# COLLISION = 125% for T150 – 100% for T500 - 150 % for T300 & TX
# SOFT LOCK = 150 % for all wheels
# STEERING CENTER FORCE = 100 % for all wheels

i tried these settings and they felt far to heavy

Thanks Kakkela. I'll give it a go tomorrow.

Yesterday i tried Thrustmaster recommended settings but with SELF ALIGNING TORQUE turned down from 77 to 55/66 and it felt quite good for RWD cars on ICE and TARMAC, but it's not the definitive solution. I've also tried with changing the DOR from 900 to 540 and i absolutely prefer 900 because more wheel rotation allows you to drive with more accurate.  
NB: Always Activate SOFT LOCK. It seems that this option automatically adjusts the wheel Lock for each cars.
I'm really interested in T3RRAF0RM settings, i absolutely have to try! It seems a good compromise and balance..
I'm sure that in few days we will find the perfect configuration

Its great being able to save multiple ffb settings. I'll try your set up later. Codmasters have said that 540 is the best degrees of rotation to run. I did try 900 but it didn't work for me. Maybe with different ffb it might feel better. We'll get there in the end :-)

I'm not sure about this thing, lots of people keep it OFF "NB: Always Activate SOFT LOCK. It seems that this option automatically adjusts the wheel Lock for each cars."

[T3RRAF0RM 0]

Unfortunately I don't think there is a universal ffb set up, that will work for all cars. What works on a 4x4 car, won't work on a rear wheel drive car. Lucky we have multiple save slots for ffb

[KozaNostra 0]

I think it's better to keep SOFT LOCK on, well at least that's what I prefer.

I agree, that's the only way to have the correct DOR for every car like in real life.

If you find these settings too heavy, just lower the Self Aligning Torque until it feels good for you. (60-70?)

1st: I agree with the soft lock ON. But I change the DOR on the base to 540°. Is it wrong or am I messing things up then when I have soft lock ON and DOR 540°? Or it doesn't mather?

2nd: If you leave almost everything at 150% and only change the Self aligning torque, won't this give wrong or strange FFB??? Or is the Self Aligning Torque a sort of 'Master' setting??

I've just found these videos on youtube, try these settings and let me know what you think. Later i'll do the same

2nd : I just followed the recommendations from Thrustmaster literally and for me the ffb is perfect. I thought the self aligning torque was a sort of master setting, but maybe i'm wrong. Can anyone confirm this if it's a master setting or not ? 

[KevM 44]

Its not.

Self aligning torque is what you see happening to the steering wheel when a driver is 'Drifting'.

https://youtu.be/wKQK92fKa-E

When the car goes sideways, the steering rack/suspension geometry should pull the steering to what is still forward, regardless of what the back of the car is doing.  I find that if you drop the Self Aligning torque, catching oversteer is made very difficult.

My SAT is the highest setting I have, with everything else set to 20% below it.  Try it and see!

Any good FFB/In Game settings with the Fanatec CSW V2?

[Benja190782 0]

I've been following this forum for a long time now, but this is my first post.
I got DiRT Rally at release on my Xbox One, and my rig is all Thrustmaster: TX wheel, 599XX EVO 30 add on, T3PA-PRO pedals and TH8A shifter.

This is my settings for the TX wheel. DOR on my wheel is 900.
Soft Lock is OFF

Advanced Wheel Settings:
Steering Deadzone   0%
Steering Saturation  90%
Steering Linearity   0%
Throttle Deadzone  0%
Throttle Saturation  100%
Brake Deadzone   0%
Brake Saturation  100% (No ABS)
Clutch Deadzone   0%
Clutch Saturation  100%
Soft Lock  Off
Center Steering  On

Force Feedback Settings:
Vibration & Feedback  On
Self Aligning Torque   23%
Wheel Friction   60%
Tyre Friction   100%
Suspension    40%
Tyre Slip    100%
Engine   100%
Collision    40%
Soft Lock   100%
Steering Center Force 100%

(very, very important info)
Please note, that when it firsts asks you to turn your wheel fully to the right or left, make sure you turn as far as you can until your reach 100, because it turns easily to about 96, and then you need to further turn it to 100. Then  after that turn the wheel to 900 degrees = 90. People used to calibrate the wheel wrong on Pcars and were getting bad FFB or really strong wheel. Calibration is very important. Good luck!

[transfix 18]

I will try those Thrustmaster settings with my Fanatec however I almost have to lower all my settings down to 40 with the exception of Engine or else my wheel makes this grinding noise. Only happens with Dirt.

I just tried some things.. I didn't notice any difference between soft lock ON or OFF....? Don't understand what it does exactly.

And what is better?:
-changing DOR at base to 540°
-or leave it at 900° and set 'Steering Saturation' to 60%, wich is equal to 540° degrees..

I've also tried that but didn't really notice any difference... And no, I'm not going to use  900°.. I don't like driving like that.

Assuming you calibrate correctly when setting DOR from base, it will make no difference. Second one is just easier to change to 100% + Soft Lock when you want to do that.

Soft Lock means it changes degrees in car to car basis, some older cars use full 1080/900 degrees and newer ones 720 and 540

@RoccoS2000: yes SAT is the "Master Scale" or general FFB slider. Confirmed by 3 hours testing today.
