Here are the best ACC force feedback settings for all racing wheels on PS5, Xbox and PC. Includes FFB settings for Logitech, Fanatec and Thrustmaster wheels.
Assetto Corsa Competizione is available to play across all platforms including Xbox Series S/X, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC. This makes it one of the most realistic sim racing experiences you can find on consoles today.
Quick Links
Below are a series of quick links to our dedicated racing wheel guides for ACC. Each of these guides runs through the best force feedback settings for each wheel. They also show you exactly how to set up each individual type of racing wheel.
For those who like to sim race on either console or PC, ensuring you have the perfect force feedback setting for your racing wheel is crucial.
If you fail to set up your racing wheel force feedback correctly you could very well be hampering your driving and lap times. And it will ultimately make for a poorer racing experience, compared to a good wheel setup.
In this guide, we have listed out the best force feedback settings for ACC on Xbox, PS5 and PC. We have included recommended settings for a wide range of racing wheels, including Fanatec, Thrustmaster and Logitech racing wheels.
Are you having issues getting your racing wheel connected to ACC on Xbox or PS5? It is a common issue, and many are struggling to get throttle and brake inputs recognized in-game. Read our complete solution to ensure you can get your racing wheel working on the console versions of ACC.
Before I look at the recommended ACC force feedback settings, I will run through all of the in-game wheel settings. And show you how each setting affects how your wheel feels.
The steering lock does exactly what it says on the tin. It will change how far your steering wheel will rotate before reaching its complete lock.
The gain setting in Assetto Corsa Competizione will change the overall strength of your force feedback. The higher this setting is, the stronger the force feedback will be. This is great for making quick adjustments up and down the strength output range.
Just be careful not to set this too high, as it can cause force feedback clipping with some wheels.
The min force setting in Assetto Corsa is a setting that has been introduced for weaker racing wheels such as the Logitech G29. This setting will account for racing wheels that have a deadzone at the center of the wheel.
The dynamic damping setting will change the weight of your racing wheel. This is directly linked to the speed of your car. As you start to accelerate to faster speeds, the damping will increase.
The road effects setting will send some artificial force feedback through your racing wheel. It is designed to mimic certain forces that would come through the car’s chassis and seat in a real car.
Assetto Corsa Competizione force feedback does feel generally good out of the box on Xbox and PS5. The developers over at Kunos have had plenty of time to refine the force feedback in ACC, due to the amount of time it has been out on PC.
This refinement has carried over well to the Xbox Series X|S and PS5 force feedback. However, there are a few refinements you can make to make the force feedback in ACC on Xbox & PS5 feel even more realistic.
This is the refinement that we are going to show you in our recommended FFB settings below. The settings below will tailor the force feedback to be a little more responsive on your specific racing wheel.
In our recommended settings below you will see that we have included two sets of settings for Fanatec and Thrustmaster racing wheels. This is because you can adjust these wheels independently to the in-game settings.
By adjusting the force feedback settings in both Fanatec and Thrustmaster’s own tuning menus, you will be able to further dial in the overall FFB realism.

Read our detailed guide on the best ACC force feedback settings for Fanatec wheels. In this guide, we run through the set up process for all Fanatec racing wheels. We also recommend the best force feedback settings for each wheel.
The Fanatec CSL DD is the new entry point for sim racers looking to buy a Fanatec wheel. It is the cheapest wheel base that the sim racing company sell, and the good news is that it is direct drive.
This direct drive allows us as sim racers to access premium technology for a much lower price. And this is immediately felt when racing in ACC compared to an older belt-driven wheel base.
These settings are designed for the CSL DD at its more powerful 8Nm setting. If you are racing with the 5Nm version, increase the force feedback setting to 100% on the steering wheel, and increase the gain a touch in-game.
The Fanatec GT DD Pro is the PlayStation 5 compatible equivalent of the CSL DD. It features a nearly identical internal design, outputting the same levels of force feedback. And for that reason, our settings are pretty much identical to those of the CSL DD.
The Fanatec Podium wheels are some of the absolute best racing wheels you can race with on Assetto Corsa Competizione. All of the Podium range use direct drive technology.
This means they have a direct link between the steering wheel and the motor which drives the force feedback. Ultimately, this leads to much stronger and much more precise force feedback.
The Fanatec Podium F1 racing wheel for PS5 utilises a DD1 wheel base, so the ACC settings will be the same for both the DD1 and the Podium F1.
For both of these wheel bases you have to adjust some of the settings using the torque key which is provided with the wheel base. This allows you to unlock the full potential of the DD1.
The Fanatec DD2 is a step up from the DD1 in terms of performance, offering 25Nm of torque compared to 20Nm of the DD1. This extra power allows you to feel stronger force feedback when racing Assetto Corsa Competizione.
Because this wheel is considerably more powerful, we have to change some of the force feedback settings to fine tune this wheel base.
The ClubSport V2 racing wheel is now discontinued, however, it remains a great mid-range racing wheel for racing ACC with.
If you already own a ClubSport V2, unless you are after much more power that is on offer from the high-end direct drive wheel bases, you could carry on racing with the ClubSport V2 for years to come.
When using the ClubSport V2 with the QR1 quick release, the wheel base remains compatible with all of Fanatec’s current steering wheel add-ons. One of the best steering wheels to race with on the ClubSport V2 is the Formula V2.5X which is perfectly suited for the GT3 and GT4 cars in Assetto Corsa Competizione.
Much like the ClubSport V2, the V2.5 is also officially discontinued and is no longer purchasable directly from Fanatec. The V2.5 is an upgraded version of the V2 wheel base, and features a few additional options. These include a few extra settings to play about with when fine tuning your force feedback in Assetto Corsa Competizione.
The Fanatec CSL Elite was often looked at as one of the best sim racing wheels for a very long time. It served as the entry point into the Fanatec ecosystem for many years, and sat underneath the ClubSport V2 in terms of performance.
Much like both ClubSport wheel bases, the CSL Elite has been discontinued and has been replaced by the CSL DD and GT DD Pro.
To see if the Fanatec CSL Elite is still one of the best PS4 or PS5 steering wheels you can buy, check out the best PS5 racing wheels in our complete PS5 racing wheel buyers guide.
The Fanatec CSL Elite Racing Wheel PS4 is a PS4 officially licensed version of the original Fanatec CSL Elite wheel. It is now discontinued but is still supported in Assetto Corsa Competizione on PS4 and PS5.
Read our Thrustmaster ACC settings guide for a more detailed breakdown of the best force feedback settings with all Thrustmaster racing wheels.
Thrustmaster does a great job of creating a smooth racing wheel for a reasonable price. This makes it a popular choice to race in Assetto Corsa Competizione.
Kunos have come forward with some recommendations when it comes to avoiding clipping with a Thrustmaster wheel. And these recommendations have been implemented in the custom settings below.
If you prefer stronger force feedback, you can increase the overall strength to around 75% in the Thrustmaster settings. We prefer the lower 65% for a smoother overall experience.
The Thrustmaster T150 and TMX are great wheels for Assetto Corsa Competizione. They both sit on the more budget-friendly side of sim racing, but both still deliver really smooth force feedback without issue.
You should look to run similar settings to the T300 above, but with a little more overall strength. You should also look to include a little more road effects and a touch of min force in-game. Both of these help combat the slightly underpowered motor in the T150.

Read our complete detailed guide on how to set up a Logitech Pro Racing Wheel with Assetto Corsa Competizione.
The Logitech Pro Racing Wheel is the company’s first-ever direct drive racing wheel. It features 10Nm of direct drive powered torque, allowing for much stronger force feedback than found in older Logitech wheels.
The Logitech Pro Racing Wheel is compatible with both the Xbox and PS5 versions of ACC as well as on PC.
View our Logitech G923 Assetto Corsa Competizione set up and settings guide.
The Logitech G923 replaced the G29 and G920 as the company’s entry-level racing wheel, and it is a widely popular wheel, especially in Assetto Corsa Competizione. The problem the Logitech G923 has is that it doesn’t produce the strongest force feedback, requiring us to tweak the base ACC force feedback settings to accommodate for this.
Unlike all of the other wheels above, Logitech doesn’t have its own independent force feedback settings. Instead, the only tuning options we have are those in ACC itself. And with the Xbox and PS5 versions of ACC, you can’t import a wheel LUT profile either.
The settings below are designed to tweak the wheel force feedback just a little, to tailor the G29 and G920 on consoles. The Logitech racing wheels in particular do feel a little light in comparison to some other wheels.
Once you have nailed your force feedback settings, and you have got a few laps under your belt. You will want to be moving on to bigger and better things. There is no better place to start than by mastering how to set up your car for different tracks and weather.
This complete beginners setup guide will run you through all aspects of car setups in ACC. It will explain what every part of your setup does, and how it affects your car.
It will also go on to give you recommendations for how to set up your car for different outcomes.
