Best ACC Settings

Set up ACC in this order

1. Wheel software first. Update the firmware, then set the rotation in your wheel's software (G HUB, Fanatec, MOZA Pit House, Thrustmaster, Simagic or Asetek RaceHub). See steering lock.
2. Controls in ACC: Options → Controls. Pick your wheel, bind the pedals and buttons, and calibrate.
3. Force feedback: start from the values for your wheel type below.
4. Field of view: calculate it for your screen and distance with the ACC FOV calculator.
5. Drive and fine-tune one setting at a time.

ACC force feedback settings

ACC's force feedback menu has the same settings for every wheel, but the right values depend on how strong your wheel is. Starting points:

Ranges combine recommendations from Driver61/Trophi, Fanatec, Asetek and Brian Koponen's Logitech guide (sources below). Where they disagree, we show the range.

What each setting does

• Gain: overall strength. The most important setting. Too high and the wheel "clips": strong forces are cut off at the motor's limit and you lose detail in fast corners. Asetek suggests putting gain on a wheel button, because each car feels different.
• Minimum Force: adds a little force around the centre to hide the dead spot of weak gear-driven wheels. Keep it at 0% on direct drive.
• Dynamic Damping: makes the wheel heavier at low speed and lighter at high speed, like a real car. It is personal preference; change it in small steps.
• Road Effects: extra bumps and surface feel added on top of the physics. Mostly for immersion; direct drive wheels already show road detail.
• Frequency: how often ACC updates the force feedback. Use 333 or 400 Hz on modern wheels; older Logitech G25 and G27 wheels need 111 Hz.
• Steer Linearity: 1.00 means the car steers exactly as much as your wheel. Leave it at 1.00 on a wheel.

Fine-tuning your force feedback

1. Pick one car and one track you know.
2. Gain first. In the fastest, highest-load corner, the wheel should still change weight as you add or remove steering. If it feels flat and "stuck", lower the gain 5% at a time. If it feels light everywhere, raise it.
3. Then Dynamic Damping, if the wheel feels too heavy in slow corners or too vague on straights.
4. Road Effects last, only if you want more surface feel.
5. Save the settings as a profile. Some cars need slightly different gain.

On a wheel with very high torque, also set the force limit in your wheel's software so the base cannot hurt your wrists in a crash.

ACC steering lock and rotation

On PC and current consoles, ACC sets the correct steering lock for each car automatically, using a soft lock. You only need to make the wheel software and the game match:

1. In your wheel software, set the rotation to 900° (or "Auto" on Fanatec bases, which lets the game decide).
2. In ACC, set Steer Lock to the same value: 900.
3. ACC then limits the rotation to the real car's lock: for example 800° in a Porsche 992 GT3 R or 480° in a Ferrari 488 GT3.

Some guides use 800°, 1080° or another value. That works too, as long as the wheel software and ACC show the same number. If they do not match, the in-game wheel turns faster or slower than your real one.

On older consoles (PS4, Xbox One), ACC does not apply the per-car lock, so set the wheel's rotation to the car's value from the table below.

Field of view and camera

ACC sets the field of view with the FOV slider in the camera settings, and it measures FOV vertically, not horizontally. The correct value depends on your screen size, shape and distance from your eyes, so there is no single "best" number. Our ACC FOV calculator gives the exact value for your setup, including triple screens. Then:

• Use the cockpit or helmet camera, not the bonnet view, so the FOV is realistic.
• Move the seat position in the camera settings so the in-game wheel lines up with your real one.
• In VR, ACC sets the field of view from the headset automatically.

Set your real seat first: our seat position guide explains why it changes your FOV.

Assists for faster, more realistic driving

• Stability Control: 0%. It slows the car and is not on real GT3 cars.
• Traction control and ABS: leave them on; GT3 and GT4 cars race with them. Adjust the level from the car (on a button) to suit grip and tyre wear.
• Ideal line: useful on a new track, then turn it off and learn the braking points.
• Automatic gears and clutch: fine while learning; manual paddles are faster.
