SimSightline / MOZA R5 Settings

MOZA R5 Settings

The R5 is a 5.5 Nm direct drive base, so the right settings use all of its torque and add a little weight and damping. Here are MOZA's own Pit House and in-game values for each sim, what each slider does, and how to fix the common problems.

Start here: MOZA R5 settings for every game

  1. Update the base firmware and Pit House, and calibrate the wheel centre.
  2. In Pit House, use the game's profile (Pit House has presets for GT, Formula 1, Rally, Drift and Trucks) and turn Synchronous on so the game sets the rotation per car.
  3. Set Game Force Feedback Intensity and Maximum Output Torque Limit to 100%. MOZA recommends 100% for the R3, R5 and R9; only the R16 and R21 need less.
  4. Keep Wheel Spring at 0% so it does not mask the game's force feedback.
  5. Set the in-game force feedback from the game sections below, then change one setting at a time.

iRacing, Assetto Corsa and F1 values from MOZA's own guides (Aug 2024, Jan 2025, Feb 2025); LMU from Coach Dave Academy's MOZA guide (updated Jan 2026, Pit House v1.3.2). "n/a" means the source does not list it: leave the profile default. Different sims want very different damping, which is why each game has its own Pit House profile.

What each Pit House setting does

  • Maximum steering angle: about 360–380° for formula cars, 540° for GT and sports cars, 900° for road cars, rally and drift. Synchronous mode lets the game match the real car.
  • Road sensitivity (0–10): how much surface detail you feel. 8–10 for full detail (GT, formula), 4–6 for smoother (rally, drift).
  • Game FFB intensity: multiplies the game's force. 100% on the R5.
  • Maximum output torque limit: caps peak force. 100% on the R5, which only has 5.5 Nm to start with.
  • Natural inertia: simulated steering weight. 200–300% for GT cars, 100–150% for formula cars.
  • Wheel friction: constant resistance. Adds some welcome weight on the R5; more for old cars without power steering.
  • Wheel damper and speed-dependent damping: calm the wheel and add weight as speed rises; MOZA suggests trying about 60% from 200 km/h for modern GT and formula cars.
  • FFB effect equaliser: boosts frequency bands. Low (0–15 Hz) is weight transfer, keep 100–120%; mid (15–40 Hz) is kerbs and slip, try 150–180%; high (40–100 Hz) is road texture, 80–100% to limit noise. MOZA's iRacing values for the R5: 10 Hz 100%, 15 Hz 140%, 25 Hz 200%, 40 Hz 180%, 50 Hz 160%.
  • Hands-off protection: stops the wheel spinning when you let go. Keep it on unless it fights you in a sim (Coach Dave turns it off for LMU).

MOZA R5 iRacing settings

  • MOZA's values: Enable force feedback on, Use linear mode on, Reduce force when parked on, Strength 60.0 Nm, Wheel force 5 Nm, Damping 0%, Min force 0%.
  • Alternative: many drivers instead set Strength per car with the Auto button (intensity 100%); see our iRacing FFB guide. MOZA's fixed 60 Nm feels lighter but leaves headroom, so strong cars clip less.
  • Buzz with 360 Hz force feedback: set enableFFB360HzInterpolated=0 in app.ini (iRacing closed).

MOZA R5 Assetto Corsa settings

  • In game (Controls → Force feedback): Gain 60–90% depending on the car, Filter 0%, Minimum force 0%, Kerb 15%, Road 15%, Slip 10%, ABS 0%.
  • Pit House: as in the table, with 540° for formula cars.
  • Drifting: match the steering angle in Pit House and Content Manager (for example both at 1080°) so the wheel and car stay in sync.

MOZA R5 ACC settings

MOZA's ACC video gives values without an R5-specific gain. Start here and raise Gain until the wheel feels right without clipping (the R5 can take more than the 50% MOZA suggests for an R12):

  • Gain 70–85% (our suggested start for 5.5 Nm, not a MOZA value), Minimum force 0%, Dynamic damping 100%, Road effects 10%, Frequency 400 Hz, Steer lock 1080° (Pit House 1080° too), Steer linearity 1.00, Brake gamma 1.00. Damper about 2%.

More in our ACC settings guide.

MOZA R5 Le Mans Ultimate settings

  • In game: Use steering range from vehicle on, Force feedback strength 85–90% (lower if it clips on the R5), Smoothing 0, Minimum steering torque 0%, Collision strength 100%, Steering torque sensitivity 100–150%, Constant steering force effect off. Steering torque capability: 5.5.
  • Pit House: as in the table: everything natural at 0, linear curve, hands-off protection off.

More in our LMU settings guide.

MOZA R5 F1 24 / F1 25 settings

  • In game: Vibration & FFB on, Strength 95%, On track effects 45%, Rumble strip effects 35%, Off track effects 30%, Wheel damper 30%, Wheel rotation 380°.
  • Pit House: Formula 1 preset, 380° synchronous, game FFB intensity 100%, max wheel speed 50%, damping 45%, hands-off protection on.

MOZA published these for F1 24 (Feb 2025). F1 25 uses the same force feedback menu; see our F1 25 wheel settings for other wheels.

MOZA R5 EA SPORTS WRC settings

  • In game: Self aligning torque 51 (49–53), Suspension 100, Tyre slip 90, Collision 100, Steering centre force off, Steering linearity 0, Degrees of rotation 1,120°, Soft lock on.
  • Pit House: game FFB intensity 100%, wheel spring 0%, wheel damper 20%, max output torque 100%, wheel friction 50%, speed-dependent damping off, linear curve, hands-off protection on.

Set on an R9 by RALLY Technical with MOZA (Jan 2024) and used as the starting point for the R5; MOZA has not published R5-specific WRC values. Compiled by SimRacingCockpit; no WRC update since v2.3.1 (March 2025) has changed them. Other wheels: EA WRC wheel settings.

AMS2, BeamNG and Forza with a MOZA R5

  • Automobilista 2: Default+, Damping 50, Low Force Boost 0–10, Menu spring under 10, Gain by feel. See AMS2 FFB settings.
  • BeamNG.drive: follow BeamNG's own method with the base at its maximum angle; see BeamNG wheel settings.
  • Forza Motorsport (PC): plug and play; start from our Forza settings direct drive column.

Fixing common MOZA R5 problems

  • Wheel oscillates or shakes on straights: raise the wheel damper or speed-dependent damping, or lower max wheel speed, and keep hands-off protection on.
  • Force feedback feels weak: check game FFB intensity and max output torque are at 100%, then raise in-game gain until the force just starts to clip. The R5 is 5.5 Nm, so it will never feel as heavy as a 9 Nm+ base.
  • Grainy or noisy: lower road sensitivity or the high equaliser bands.
  • Too light at speed: add natural inertia, friction or speed-dependent damping.
  • Have an R3 (Xbox)? See our MOZA R3 settings.
  • Have an R9 or R12? MOZA gives them slightly different values: see our MOZA R9 & R12 settings.
  • Fanatec owner? See our Fanatec CSL DD settings.
  • Upgrading? Compare bases in our direct drive guide and PC wheel guide.
