Thrustmaster T248 Settings
The T248's on-wheel FFB setting boosts force feedback by default. Set it to linear, keep FORCE at about 65%, and then use the right in-game values. Here is the menu explained and published settings for ten games, mostly from Brian Koponen's long-running T248 guides.
T248 on-wheel menu and Control Panel settings
Press MODE to open the on-wheel menu, move with the D-pad and press MODE again to confirm.
| Setting | What it does | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| FFB (profile) | FFB 1 is linear: you feel exactly what the game sends. FFB 2 (default) and FFB 3 boost force feedback. | 1 (on the T248R driver this is "Boost": 0) |
| FORCE | Overall strength; the same as Overall Strength in the Control Panel (changing one changes the other). | 4 bars = 65% (gives a linear response with no clipping) |
| ROT° | Rotation: 270 to 900° or AUTO. Only matters in games that do not set rotation themselves. | 900° (540° in Forza Horizon 6) |
| PEDAL | Floor-mounted or inverted (suspended) pedals. | To your rig |
| Platform | The Xbox version switches between XBOX and PC in this menu. | Your system |
- Thrustmaster Control Panel (PC): rotation 900°, Overall strength 65%, Constant, Periodic, Spring and Damper 100%, BOOST off, Auto-center by the game.
- Brake feel: the T3PM pedals have four spring setups (soft, medium, hard, very hard), changed on the pedal set.
- Telemetry display: the DISPLAY button sets what the screen shows in supported PC games.
Menu from Thrustmaster's T248 manual. Recommended values from Brian Koponen's T248 guides (2022 to 2026), which all use FORCE 4 and FFB 1.

Thrustmaster T248 GT7 settings (PS5)
- On the wheel: a commonly shared GT7 setup uses FFB 2 and FORCE at the third or fourth bar, with Max Torque 5 and Sensitivity 3 in game.
- For a cleaner feel, try FFB 1 with FORCE 4 and raise Max Torque until the wheel stops getting heavier in fast corners, then back off one step.
Community setup from r/granturismo; Thrustmaster publishes GT7 values only for its direct drive T598 and T-GT II. Method in our GT7 wheel settings.

Getting more from a T248
- Keep FFB at 1 (linear). The boosted profiles feel strong but squash detail and make clipping more likely.
- Mount it firmly: see our wheel stand guide.
- Upgrade path: the budget wheel guide compares the T248 with direct drive options; Thrustmaster's own step up is the T598 (T598 settings).
- Other wheels: Thrustmaster T300 settings, Logitech G29 settings, MOZA R5 settings.
FAQ
What are the best Thrustmaster T248 settings?
On the wheel: FFB 1 (linear), FORCE 4 bars (65%), ROT 900°. In the Control Panel: overall strength 65%, the rest 100%, boost off, auto-center by the game. Then use the in-game values for your game above.
What does FFB 1, 2 and 3 mean on the T248?
FFB 1 is linear: the force matches what the game asks for. FFB 2 (the default) and FFB 3 boost the force feedback, which feels stronger but can clip and lose detail.
What are the best T248 settings for GT7?
A common setup is Max Torque 5 and Sensitivity 3 in game with FFB 2 and FORCE at the third or fourth bar on the wheel. For a cleaner feel, use FFB 1 and FORCE 4 and tune Max Torque from there.
What are the best T248 settings for Xbox Series X?
Choose XBOX in the MODE menu, then use FFB 1, FORCE 4 and the game's values, for example Forza Motorsport force feedback 100, self alignment 95 and pneumatic trail 140.
What is Boost on the T248R?
On the newer T248R driver, the FFB setting is called Boost. Set it to 0 for linear force feedback, and FORCE shows as a percentage: 65%.
Where is the T248 Control Panel?
Install Thrustmaster's drivers on PC, open the Control Panel (Game Controllers), select the T248 and click Properties to set rotation, strength and effect gains.
