T300 settings

[GunDeviLnl 49]

I am trying to adjust my t300 settings, which setting do eporters use? i am confused which linirity i should change aswell. When watching hotlaps on youtube it seems they can steer way sharper than me. As example: first corner Hungary i have way more understeer compared to those players, i tried changing my car setup but it wont help. I use 360° btw.

I want to know this too. The understeer is slow/long corners is too much imo. Which settings do you use @GunDeviLnl?

I'm using a T150.

Went from using 360° to 270°. Seemed to help me out some.

Maybe this is helpful?

Ive had to put steering saturation on My t300 on 100. Also it makes a loud whirring sound for about 20-30secs then stops. Usually happens when I don’t use it for few hours. I downloaded the latest firmware and wondering if this is the reason because I didn’t do this before that.

The F1 games' Handling Designer David Greco has a pinned Q&A at the top of this forum. He has answered to T300 related questions twice. Here you go 🙂

First of all, thanks for sharing. I just got my T300 this week and I'm struggling with the transition from controller to wheel. (I'm playing on a PS4, by the way.)

I'm testing in Barcelona and I'm about 1.5 sec behind compared to using a controller. The handling just doesn't feel as dynamic as I expected it to be. 

I applied some wheel settings from some YT video (FFB = 95%) but I'm not too happy with the overall feeling. 

Unfortunately, I don't fully understand David Greco's posting. What is the wheel app?? I'm a bit lost here.

Can anybody share his T300 settings for the PS4? I would greatly appreciate it.

The wheel app maybe the settings screen when you plug the wheel into your PC. From there you can adjust lots of the wheel's features.

Thanks. So you should set the FFB to 100% in the wheel app and max. 70% in the game. Got it. But what if you use the T300 with a PS4? There's no wheel app. Is it still 70% than?

If you have one, you can connect the wheel to a PC to change its internal settings, and importantly make sure the firmware is up to date if you haven't. Then you can connect it back to your PS4. You just need to change the PS4/PS3 switch each time. It needs to be in the PS3 position when connected to a PC (laptop in my case).

For info. I'm happily using the following settings on my T300RS, with a PS4:

I would also force the Fan of the T300 to always be on, so it doesnt get overheated and loss some FFB:

Yes, I should have mentioned this, which I have done.

Oh. I haven't done that yet. Thanks for the hint!

I just use default. Works fine. 🤷‍♂️

Why not try the settings I attached to see if you like them more though? It's about preference not one working and one not.

Why change something that works fine?

That's like trying one type of beer/cake/whatever, thinking it's fine, and so not bothering to taste any others. It's not a logical argument for anything that is fundamentally a matter of personal preference.

Neither is using "my settings are better so use them" as an argument. If it aint broke, don't fix it. Sorry if your fragile little ego can't understand that.

Errr, if you check back you'll see I said nothing of the sort.

This is actually wrong, the settings in the driver for the tx and t300 in pc (cant say about other newer thrustmaster wheels such as the tsxw or tgt) remain in software on the pc, they do not get stored on the wheel at all. It is just driver side settings on pc only. On consoles you have to rely on the games own settings for force feedback.

It is however important to update the wheels firmware, so it is still important to hook them up to a windows pc to make sure the wheels have the most recent fixes and updates for the tm eco system.

I don't think it is wrong, with the final result being a combination of what is set on the wheel setup software and what is set in game. Both the video I posted and some of David Greco's advice say as much anyway?

This has never been the case with those wheels, ever. Can you please link the posts in question and i will check out the linked video. Keep in mind i have been using the tx and t300 wheels for a while, and they have never stored the windows driver settings on them. So its either a recent change, or someone has picked up some misinformation and run with it.

Edit: i have reached out to Thrustmaster directly for clarification on this. But as far as information on their website goes, the Thrustmaster control panel software information as listed as only being relevent for windows pc -

The video is earlier in this thread. David Greco's advice was linked to above by another user. If not to the exact post but look close to where was linked to. He was advising not setting one of the wheel software settings to zero I think.

I'm very open to you being right by the way.

Same, thats why I have reached out to TM directly for clarification
