Would you actually consider comparing one car, one track in iR, AMs2, rF2, AC, ACC just in terms of physics and FFB? This would probably the the most viewed YT video of all sim racing channels.

[@danielmorad]

I think that would be a great topic. I know a lot of other content creators of done this, but coming from a real Driver, it could be really cool to identify the differences.

[@bmwM3M5M6]

@@danielmorad indeed ! Must do it for sure ! There are plenty of them but are there real honest comparisions between sims from a real driver ? Didn’t came across…so I’ll watch for sure which sim does it better in terms of FFB, physics, wet weather driving, braking, sound,… not extreme in depth but general comparision for those points mentioned 🏁

[@Boarderdude215]

I totally agree this is would be an awesome comparison, but I imagine that getting all the settings (in-game, FFB, car setups, etc) correct/maximized across all titles would be a lot of work. Many titles feel lacking with default settings/setups. That being said, if @Daniel Morad can take the time to do the comparison that would be so awesome!!! Would definitely get a ton of views!

[@ArchOfficial]

@@bmwM3M5M6 As a professional product? Nothing available to the public beats modded AC. I wouldn't even think of working in anything else, perhaps AMS1 if I absolutely had to, but it's quite inferior. All the other sims are a complete pass and I wouldn't even think about them. The problem for consumers is that good models don't really exist for this kind of car. So ACC might be the best bet in that regard, despite how wack it is in some parameters. EDIT: Well, extremely car dependent. All the cars are not going to be as decent. Probably none of them are particularly good but the Ferraris and R8 usually have decent data to them. I've heard mixed opinions about the others.

[@nanoverse]

Especially ACC would be cool

[@sprintermaximus]

Grateful for this Daniel. Been watching you on track and knowing your expertise and skill there translated into the sim is awesome. Thanks for the detail on this. I have a pretty slim setup, but these details go a long way for me on all 3 sims I use. Thanks!!

[@danielmorad]

Glad it helped!

[@3inix]

Hey Daniel, once again, this video is a gem and exactly what the community needs. I used your previous TD settings and felt that it was a bit raw, notchy and the steering wheel would vibrate to an uncontrollable feedback loop if not held. The new version feels much more refined while still keeping all the detail. The only thing I found that is still slightly more jolty is striking the kerbs. On tracks with high kerbs like Nordschleife it does feel quite rough to the point where you subconsciously start to avoid the kerbs. So I just turned up slew rate to 1.2 and it feels much gentler. Thanks again!

[@danielmorad]

I will try the same. Thanks for your feedback

[@YMSimRacing]

Thank you for the information. It’s great to see the connection between the real world and the sim world. These worlds get closer thanks to channels like your and advancements in technology.

Great content. Detailed explanation on each setting is fantastic. I re-watched this video many times to compare and contrast to my setup(fanatec), and it's been very helpful. I'm relatively a newb in simracing world, and I found this guide to be very comprehensive. Thank you!

[@mcole3591]

I'm a fellow Fanatec pleb, it'd be great to know what wheelbase you're using and what settings you're running. I am a bit of a noob myself and struggle to find if I understand some of these settings properly.

I absolutely love that you're doing all this work to help sim racers have a better experience - you're the man, Daniel. I wish you had a TS-PC Racer available to develop settings for us non-DD drivers lol

[@backmarkerbob]

It's so funny that as long as I've been in sim racing, FFB wheels used to be scoffed at as supposedly making you slower than "spring" wheels. Within a year of the G25's release literally everyone had switched to FFB, and now we have real life drivers detailing how to set it properly for proper feel and best performance. How times have changed.

[@AyoMrB]

Invaluable information! I've been playing around with my SimXperience settings and landed similar to what you've got. Decided to add some friction and a little bit more oscillation resistance/dampening. I don't have real life experience, but the feedback is so much more useful to interpret at the limit and I find myself being smoother overall in general. Thanks for this.

[@danielmorad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jpcarsmedia]

Thanks for sharing. This was invaluable to me setting up my SimuCube 2 Pro. A lot of profiles have overdone effects, but your profile works really well in Assetto Corsa with some small tweaks via Content Manager.

Great video and thanks so much for posting your True Force settings. I have an SC2 pro as well and set it up over a year ago and have been very happy with it. I run primarily iRacing. I’ll compare my settings to yours but at this point I am very comfortable with what I have so likely will be too scared to change anything now due to muscle memory developed over the past year that I have had it.

If it works, don’t change it. You can look at what I’m using and maybe implement some of the stuff but if it works, keep using it.

[@ihamptonii]

Great information coming from an experienced pro race car driver. Thanks for making this video. So much erroneous information I heard on other videos about needing 20 Nm of Afb to get the true feel of a GT3 car. You've helped set the record straight.

Just ran your settings for Prototype on my simucube 2 ultimate - by far the best feel Ive had driving the LMP2 in iRacing, so smooth but great road feel, I can feel the limit a lot easier, especially with high track temperature! Thanks for your hard work here, hopefully I can help our team win the Spa 24hr this weekend with better consistency ! Keep up the brilliant videos!

[@patrickdurka6188]

Hey mate, I am also running an ultimate and drive mainly the lmp2 in iracing. I have done some tweaking to daniels profile, to get rid of a few aspects i didnt liked. Maybe you want to try them, and give me some feedback? Hard to find someone else on the ultimate running the lmp2 haha Adjustments i have made: Recon 3 (feels more direct when changing directions) Tbw: unlimited (less delay) Friction: 8 (feels better on the ulimate to me, and reveals more feedback mid corner) Max torque 21nm (to get rid off too hard cerb strikes and make corrections easier. Also to smooth out the lower recon filter and higher slewrate) Slewrate 3.25 (more details when over or understeering) Ingame 21nm : 65nm max force Static force reduction i left off most of the time, because it can feel backwards tue to the fact that its time based, not telemetry based. Already getting lower cornering forces with the settings like this. But going 10% on static force reduction with a static force reduction speed of 0.5 feels pretty good too. Easier to overdrive, but also easier to make little corrections, and the center doesnt feel as numb as usually.

But I am definitely getting better. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!

Great advice, thank you. I have the Accuforce direct drive wheel and do similar adjustments to make the wheel behave more realistic.

I only drive old heel and toe manual cars in Assetto Corsa and Automobalista 2, but using your logic, I was able to get my Simucube Pro to feel better than it ever has in both sims. So much more feel of connection to the road, which enables me to power out of corners earlier with full confidence of what grip levels I have available.

Excellent video Daniel. I have never understood why people crank the feedback up high. I've heard people say that it needs to be high to be more like driving the real car, but unless someone like you tells us how it should feel we don't know. Being a more mature gentleman I just want to feel what the car is doing rather than having an arms workout every race. I will probably be trying a few different settings next time I'm in the sim.

[@danielmorad]

The only people that say that it needs to be cranked up really high are the ones that pretend to know too much. I know some coaches online say that you need for have max force feedback. It’s so wrong.

[@idunno_guess]

@@jasonzbell apologies, it seems I cant post comments using my phone (thought I did 2 days ago). Anyhow, after the latest updates my settings did not seem to work (surprise surprise). Needless to say I got tired of making sure drivers, Fanatec Control Panel and Fanalab all match, and redoing setting after setting. I'm installing a Simucube 2 Pro hopefully this weekend. In the Fanatec Forums, Maurice has some pretty solid profiles for use and adjust from there for personal preference. What I did do prior to 452 (now on 454) was set my FFB to 98% and adjust in game like Morad mentioned, but Fanatec is hit or miss with this depending on the car. Also note that you want to set your wheel rotation first. Because if you get all your settings where you want them say at 1080, but then you decide to change to 900, all those wonderful settings you have, they may no longer produce the same feel. If you wanna pick my brain about the Fanatec, feel free to find me on Morad's discord and send me a DM (idunno_guess). Sorry my reply isn't very helpful.

[@MythionVR]

The gift that keeps on giving. :) I just got into sim racing a ton in the last few weeks, I purchased a 5800X3D and RX 7900XT to get my PC up to speed. While I do have a Logitech G29, I'll be looking to upgrade that too! Firstly though... my seat needs some upgrades lol.

[@danielmorad]

You definitely have the PC situation sorted. As long as you like Sim racing, you can invest in some nice gear and enjoy it all.

[@ArchOfficial]

Don't underestimate mounting requirements. I'm only specced for an Alpha Mini and VNM pedals but I went for an 8020 rig and GT-style seat. Tube rigs with DD will flex a bit, and flimsy pedal plates will also flex. The real cost comes in all the other stuff you need to get; the seat might cost as much as the rig.

Thanks for the great information. I use the same Simucube 2 wheel base and the D-Box Gen 5 as well. I am heading over to rig right after I post these comments to give it a go.

[@wizzosends]

This is awesome, I would love to see your take on what IRFFB adds or removes from the experience. I have really enjoyed how it smooths everything out and provides additional feedback through the wheel that we lack on a sim due to no G force.

[@danielmorad]

Apparently it’s not great but I could try. I just think the standard one is nice so I leave it.

[@denmarq_]

i just want to clarify that setting the wheelbase to 25Nm and iR max force to 50Nm does not just set your FFB to 12.5Nm. It just means it requires 50Nm of output from the sim to reach 25Nm on the wheel, so depending on the car you could very well be way above 12.5Nm depending on how much force the car puts out.

[@danielmorad]

Exactly. I have listed what I have set for every car in my Simucube profile.

[@JZStudiosonline]

Basing the signal to something like audio, since they're both digital signals, wouldn't it be better to set the sim higher and turn the wheel down? Theoretically that would give you a better SNR, but since both signals remain digital, especially on a DD I'm not sure it matters. I'm also guessing that since he made iRacing scale down the force from 50 to 25 the sim is over torqueing by default

[@Lee-xs4dj]

​@@JZStudiosonlinedigital signals its more to do with bit depth than signal to noise ratio in terms of getting the most detail. Therefore, it doesn't make a different where you reduce the signal as it will result in the same bit losses. The ideal solution would be to have an analog torque attenuator on the motor itself. Then you'd maintain full dynamic range from the digital signal.

thanks for this ...i feel like too many real drivers are afraid or dont know how to translate real life to sim...plus you sound more honest and approachable.

[@danielmorad]

Thanks a lot :)

[@jajaboss]

Thank You answering the request. Now I have some idea on how the real car should feel. i'm not very fast but this sure make sim more enjoyable

[@danielmorad]

Glad you’re enjoying it

[@1337Hans]

another amazing video, only thing I would change is lower the volume a bit on the music, bit too high and fights with your voice. Made it hard to concentrate for me on such an info packed video.

[@danielmorad]

This one was my mistake. We had an audio issue due to the way I set it up versus the engine noise. There were a lot of Band-Aids involved in the audio department

[@robcampbell6099]

@@RafaHuel I personally don't find that the music is too loud either but I noticed the slight Audio issue when I was driving but thats all. That part was my mistake.

Wow, what a video, thank you for the detailed explanations. Actually better than any other ive seen before 🎉. Do you have any changes of profile on simucube for ACC? Or the same one and dial down in game as discussed in video? Keep up the good work on vids, they great as they are 👌👌

[@danielmorad]

I don’t really have any settings for ACC. I’m sure someone in the Discord Community will be able to tell you if it translates well. Thank you so much.

Glad it was helpful!

So glad i found this channel. Will look into ergonomics when i build a rig. Maybe you should use a less bumpy track to explain stuff while driving 😝

[@danielmorad]

In hindsight, you are totally right. I was laughing while doing it as you could see. Regret was running deep inside. Lol

[@karelknightmare6712]

awesome video thank you! debunking a lot of myths, that's great. the dbox actuators seem quite impressive as of immersion, kind as a FFB for the whole body. :)

They are! It really took my experience to the next level

[@karelknightmare6712]

@@danielmorad thank you for your feedback. In the future it may be really interesting to have your views on VR, I’d guess triple monitors are more enjoyable to you, but maybe VR enables a better sense of speed and ground elevation perception.

[@rickthomas9894]

hi Dan, I just discovered your channel on youtube and have been binging a bit. I appreciate your conversational style, humor, humility, and informed recommendations. All good. I'm 66 and just taking up sim racing about 2 years now. Enjoying and learning from your content and eager for more! For me, the one thing I have come to rely on when racing, is the Track IR 5. I have a 34 inch, ultra wide single screen, and until I can budget for triples, (would love to hear your recommedations for those) Track IR is working great for me. Any thoughts or experience with that? Thanks for sharing!

[@danielmorad]

That’s awesome. Welcome to the community. I haven’t tried it but I can definitely recommend triple monitors.

[@steam-SMOKEY]

Appreciate you bro 🙏 and it wasn't "spill" smashed the like 😆👍

Haha thanks.

[@jeeezyf1]

Hi Daniel, I’m new to your page and content but I really appreciate your outlook.. the experience and the knowledge instead of just having the money to buy whatever you want from a practical point of view (something I didn’t do) is helpful.. I’m so uneducated on gaming PC’s I would love a video on what pc to purchase etc. I have all Fanatec gear, motion and high end LG tv but run a ps5 because when I bought all this I thought that was best, going to buy simicube gear now, like I said a total newbie, If you ever have time please run through what pc you would buy for sim racing so I can buy immediately I know it’s a selfish request lol. All the best mate and all the best to whoever is out there in the community reading this.. ps can’t find you on twitch

[@TheCameltotem]

Thank you so much! I've been telling people all the time that 0% friction, inertia and dampning isnt realistic. Yes you "feel" a lot more but that's not how it feels driving a real car. Not that i'm a GT3 driver but it feels good to validate my experiences from driving real cars.

[@danielmorad]

You're very welcome!

[@Vortigon]

Brilliant video!

[@BenjaminKarslund]

I once got a short trip here in Denmark with Tom Kristensen behind the wheel in a Audi DTM car. He said that the wheel is definitely not hard to turn, and its not heavy at all. After that I turned my FFB down and it overall feels better and I’m smoother in my racing.

[@DEFBOY35]

Great video. Something I’m definitely guilty of is having the ffb cranked up on the dd2. And that livery on the amg is on point!!

[@danielmorad]

Couldn't agree more

[@patrickdurka6188]

Thanks for the video daniel 🙏 matches pretty well with how i have mine set. When demonstrating slewrate you were saying that 5.something felt really numb, but 0.99 should feel much more numb, because the lower the number, the slower the motors reactions. So maybe you should do a bit more testing on that one filter? I will definitely try the force reduction, havent really played with it because i thought its gimmicky haha.

[@danielmorad]

I have been playing with it a lot more so I’m understanding better.

[@patrickdurka6188]

@@danielmorad thats great daniel 👍 There is one thing i noticed using your settings about the static force reduction. because its a time based effect it can make you basically feel something that the telemetry isnt giving out. Its not able to change the cornering forces overall, it just takes the % you put in and decreases the force by that in corners within a second. So if you go one second in one direction the cornering force will get 30% less, but the big jolts, fast direction changes and hard oversteer effects will stay the same. So sometimes it makes you feel understeer without it even happening. So i am wondering if you could make a profile that feels just as realistic, but without using static force reduction. Instead tweak the max force, or reduce the max nm of the sc2 to match the cornering forces, and then adjust the weight and activity with slewrate, recon, tbw, and the damping sliders. Running a tad less damping and especially inertia will also reduce the load you feel while cornering. I have settled at 21-19nm on the wheel and 65nm max force ingame for the lmp2, without static force reduction now.

[@patrickdurka6188]

Or is that just how power steering feels in general on such a car? I have no idea, but it makes the forces feel a bit backwards sometimes because the telemetry is building up resistance, while the static force reduction takes it away at the same time.

[@MyDewEn]

Amazing video and thank you so much! My question is what in-game Max Force FFB setting are you using?

[@hugostos09]

Very detailed and practical guide

[ i used you setting on my VRS wheel base at BELLE ISLE.after i got used to the new settings, sooooooo much more control then i did with no filter on. i feel the cars rotation so much better now that the wheel is not trying to jump out of my hands all the time. now i can focus on the track and the car. and not the what the wheel is doing. ] FOR THE THANK-YOU!

[@stevenmay5703]

Nice video. It's nice to get feedback from someone with actual experience driving the Merc GT3. But to be honest I kinda liked your original "Moradness" profile on True Drive. I think what it made it slightly better was that the "Simcube Reconstruction Filter" was at 3 and the "Torque Bandwidth Limit" (TBW) was unlimited. The lower the Recon filter the lower the latency and the higher the TBW the lower the latency. Also I wonder how much one has to compensate FFB strength for smaller and lighter wheels like the "Asher F28" I'm using. Because right now the GT3 profile seems like it requires a lot of strength considering the GT3 Merc is supposed to be power assisted. Other than that I look forward to more profiles on True Drive to at least get a closer approximation of what the real race car feels like. Thanks.

[@danielmorad]

I look forward to make more
