SimSightline / Forza Motorsport Wheel Settings
Forza Motorsport Wheel Settings
Forza Motorsport has a long list of advanced wheel sliders and a separate force feedback scale for every car. Here is what each one does, tested starting values for Logitech wheels, and how to tune the rest on Xbox or PC.
Where to find Forza Motorsport wheel settings
- Advanced wheel settings: Settings → Advanced Input (with your wheel connected). All the sliders below are here.
- Steering mode: Settings → Driving Assists → Steering: set it to Simulation for a wheel.
- Per-car force feedback and steering lock: in each car's Tune menu. These belong to that car in your garage and are not saved in shared tunes.
Turn 10 said in December 2025 that Forza Motorsport would get no more content or regular fixes, though servers stay online, so these settings should stay valid. The last update to change force feedback was Update 20 in May 2025.
Set these first, for every wheel
- Steering assist: Simulation.
- Steering axis deadzone inside 0, outside 100.
- Use Gamepad Steering Filters: Off.
- Steering sensitivity 50 and steering linearity 50 (linear).
- Wheel software at default gain, with the rotation from the table below. Turn 10 recommends starting from the wheel software's defaults.

| Mechanical trail scale | 75 | 70 | 50 |
| Pneumatic trail scale | 145 | 110 | 100 |
| Road feel scale | 105 | 60 | 100 |
| Load sensitivity | 90 | 50 | 75 |
| Wheel damper scale | 0 | 100 | 80 |
| Center spring scale | 0 | 85 | 75 |
| Dynamic damper behaviour | 100 | 100 | 100 |
G29/G920 values from Brian Koponen's guide (May 2025, after Update 20; the G923 is very similar). RS50 and G PRO from Logitech's sheets as compiled by SimRacingCockpit; the G PRO sheet dates from launch (2023), before Update 20, so fine-tune from there.
- Logitech G HUB (G29/G920/G923): operating range 900°, sensitivity 50, centering spring off. Forza Horizon 6 and other games: Logitech G29 settings.
- RS50 on the wheel: PC: compatibility PRO, FFB filter 1, dampener off, TRUEFORCE audio 40. Xbox: compatibility RS, FFB filter 8, dampener 15, TRUEFORCE audio 100. In game TRUEFORCE: engine 50, tyres 80, rumble strip 80, collision 50.
- G PRO on the wheel: compatibility PRO, FFB filter 8, dampener 15, TRUEFORCE audio 100.
What each Forza Motorsport wheel setting does
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Force feedback scale | Overall strength of all forces except vibration. Too high and the wheel clips (goes flat at full force). |
| Vibration scale | Vibration effects only (rumble, engine). Lower if it masks road feel. |
| Steering self alignment | The aligning torque that pulls the wheel back to centre, from mechanical and pneumatic trail. |
| Mechanical trail scale | The steady part of the aligning force. Higher is smoother with less detail. |
| Pneumatic trail scale | The tyre's dynamic part: the wheel goes lighter as grip runs out. Lower reduces it. |
| Road feel scale | Kerbs, cobbles and bumps, without changing the aligning force. |
| Load sensitivity | How much weight transfer changes the force. Lower is smoother. |
| Wheel damper scale | Resistance to fast wheel movement. Useful on strong wheels; too low can cause oscillation. |
| Center spring scale | Artificial centring. Keep it low; too high masks tyre feel. Turn 10 suggests lowering it (and damping) on the G29 and G920. |
| Dynamic damper behaviour | How much the damper eases off as the tyres slide. |
| Steering sensitivity / linearity | Ratio of wheel rotation to front-wheel angle; 50 linearity is linear. |
| Invert force feedback | Only if the wheel pulls into the turn instead of resisting it. |
Explanations based on Turn 10's Advanced Wheel Tuning guide.
Per-car force feedback and steering lock
Strong race cars produce more force than road cars, so set the force feedback scale per car in the Tune menu: lower it if the wheel goes flat in fast corners, raise it for light cars. Since Update 20 you can also set each car's lock-to-lock steering; many drivers use roughly 65° to 85° of front-wheel lock depending on the car, and match their wheel rotation so the virtual wheel turns like the real one.
Fanatec, Thrustmaster and MOZA wheels
- Fanatec: no official Forza Motorsport values. Start from the RS50 column (a similar-strength direct drive base), set the base sensitivity to match, and lower Force feedback scale if it clips. On Xbox you need an Xbox-licensed Fanatec rim.
- Thrustmaster (T248, TMX, T598-X): no published presets. Start from the G29/G920 column for belt wheels or the RS50 column for the T598-X.
- MOZA R3 (Xbox; see MOZA R3 settings) and R5 and up (PC): MOZA lists Forza Motorsport as plug and play with no published values. Start from the RS50 column and lower Force feedback scale until the wheel no longer goes flat in fast corners.
- Telemetry (PC): for dashboards and shakers, set Data Out on, IP 127.0.0.1, port 8000 (MOZA) and format Car Dash.

FAQ
What are the best Forza Motorsport wheel settings?
Steering assist on Simulation, deadzones 0 inside and 100 outside, gamepad filters off, sensitivity and linearity 50, then force feedback scale around 100 to 130 adjusted per car. Use the table above for your wheel's trail, road feel, damper and spring values.
What are the best Forza Motorsport settings for the Logitech G920?
900° in G HUB, then vibration 20, force feedback 100, self alignment 110, mechanical trail 75, pneumatic trail 145, road feel 105, load sensitivity 90, wheel damper 0, center spring 0, dynamic damper 100.
What are the best Forza Motorsport settings for the G923?
Start from the G29/G920 settings, which suit the G923's similar motor, and add TRUEFORCE to taste.
What are the best Forza Motorsport wheel settings on Xbox?
The same in-game values as PC. Only the wheel software differs; for example the Logitech RS50 uses its RS compatibility mode and 2700° on Xbox.
Why does my wheel feel weak in fast corners in Forza Motorsport?
The force is clipping. Lower force feedback scale for that car in the Tune menu.
Should I use Normal or Simulation steering with a wheel?
Simulation. Normal steering smooths and assists your inputs, which feels vague on a wheel.
