The BEST Le Mans Ultimate Settings by Professional Sim Racer

[@luni_eu]

The low lock to horizon setting is very useful, thx James👍

[@Jaaames]

Yeah really helped me when I figured that out

[@user06220]

Love your LMU videos

[@Jaaames]

🤝

[@chrisracing81]

LMU is so good 🙌👍

[@Jaaames]

I’m also enjoying it quite a lot🙂

[@b9bot148]

Thanks for the video James. I think you aren't giving yourself enough credit for your experience driving not only on sims but in real life is why you got gold. You make it look easy in your videos. I will give your settings a try, but I have a feeling I won't be winning races like you.

[@Jaaames]

Hahah cheers. Of course it’s a combination of settings & being able to drive. At least settings wise this video ticks that box.

[@andybringolf4451]

Thanks James for this video, I enjoy LMU so much, it just gives me so much racing fun, with great ffb, sound, physics and the online races with the best netcode is fun too. THis sim has so much potential

[@Jaaames]

Has a lot of potential for sure!

[@Rene_Bo]

Man i’ve been looking for some settings for my SC2 Pro, and these are very good James! Well done, and thank you once again

[@Jaaames]

🤝

[@Mox3d]

Excellent info James, thank you for taking the time to put this together 👍🙌

[@Jaaames]

You're welcome🤝

[@makannet]

For neutral you just need to pull both paddle shifters to activate it, just like rf2. There is no need to reach your keyboard. I think there is an option for it to activate in the wheel settings.

[@layingblacklines]

Yeah at 3:50 you can see "Use simultaneous shift up & down neutral activation". It's one of the great rF2 settings that came across. Sometimes in iRacing I knock into neutral by accident and I miss this setting. But yeah, don't be reaching for a neutral button when this works so well.

[@RacingWithChuck27]

Some “rims” when you do that, pull both shifters it activates other things…

[@Jaaames]

Yep, I know you can do that - The reason I'm not doing that is because I don't want to go into neutral by accident which can happen when mapped to both paddle shifters. Having it on the keyboard means I can't go into neutral by accident.

[@velouriumcamper0753]

Your LMU streams have been awesome James. Could you make a video on learning the lmp2/3 cats for beginners?

[@Jaaames]

Cheers man! I'll have a think👍

[@liamguerin5490]

I got le mans ultimate because of you James and your streams and its been an adjustment, but I hope that this video changes that👍🏻 Lol just changed my settings to your settings and got my first online win😂

[@Jaaames]

Mega, glad it helped😍

[@BrianNagy]

Really awesome video James. I was struggling with finding the best FFB settings for my SC2 Pro and HE Sprints and your video and settings changed my game feel 180 degrees, so thank you mate. I know you are not big on the iRacing world, however do have any recommendations for the SC2 Pro with IR? Appreciate the vids and enjoy your off time!

[@DuquesneXavier]

As you were talking about the weight of the car in your video with the Mc Laren, i found that setting the FFB in game to 60% (that's where the game starts clipping on the most demanding curves), and adjusting your FFB level in the software gave you a better sens of the weight of the car but also on the mass transfer. I added also a bit of friction in the software (but I run on a Simagic Ultimate so it might slightly differ for your Simucube, you get the idea :) ) Can't wait to try the Mc Laren !

[@oh_danielsan9025]

Hey James, great Video and thank you for these insights. You can tilt the viewing angle, if increasing the seat height isn’t enough. It’s the same like in rF2 (right shift+increase fov)…Hope I could help!😅

[@Jaaames]

Copy that

[@Lakedistrictrider]

This game looks great, lots of potential. Hopefully they'll keep it going

[@Jaaames]

🤞

[@DuM3D0]

Also you don't need to press the key on the keyboard to put on neutral, just press both gear paddle toghether to put the car in neutral.

[@Jaaames]

Yep, I know you can do that - The reason I'm not doing that is because I don't want to go into neutral by accident which can happen when mapped to both paddle shifters. Having it on the keyboard means I can't go into neutral by accident.

[@drepssint]

@james As for the brakes. I have the Black Sprint HE. My preload is a little under your 56kg. So if I add more like yours I would brake better and not scrub off speed?

[@xXx.....0007]

Any recent ACC settings? Keep on, keeping on. Enjoy your chill mode style.

[@mike_33gt]

ACC is halfway dead...

[@xXx.....0007]

@ that's your unrequested opinion.

[@Jaaames]

Not changed much from this video tbh: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5rFmJaqZ5KSa9ksi=YPOREv8r2LqpQjIb

[@iwens607]

Interesting ingame FFB Smoothing setting you have. I am using a VRS Wheelbase, but anything higher than 3 feels like driving with a Logitech G29 wheel. I have 0 smoothing. Gives me the best direct feel for the car and the road.

[@DuM3D0]

So you have double smoothing? The one on Truedrive and the other on LMU FFB Settings?

[@smothdude]

I've got a custom made DD wheel that runs about 15nm of torque. When it comes to smoothing, should I try a value around 4 or so? I have been playing before with no smoothing because I always hear that smoothing is bad... Also I had no idea what lock horizon did, that makes sense I've gotta give it a shot Also, if you have gigabit internet, is there any reason why you limit your network settings to 10/20mbps? I have 1.5gbps and I run them at the highest settings haha, but I am not that experienced with sims and I don't know if it really makes any difference!

[@Jaaames]

I'd try the smoothing on 8 tbh, always found on both RF2 & LMU that it's better when it's that high. For the internet question, there was a RF2 guide that calculated what you should have these settings on depending on your internet speed, and that's what it calculated for me.

[@smothdude]

@@Jaaames I'll give it a shot and also check out that calculator. Cheers!

[@JA_Senna364]

Hi James,nice video. You are my hero and I have recently got a Logitech g29 and I am starting teamsport kart academy and I have just got a helmet and suit today. Hope you get the call for another race weekend.😄🏎️💨

[@Jaaames]

Nice man, good luck with your journey!

[@JA_Senna364]

Thanks😊

[@DSaw78]

I have a Simucube 1 (aka small Mige) that puts out 20nm at max. I'm going to try your settings anyways but go up with the in-game gain a bit. I'm not happy with the settings I'm currently using. My driving is the biggest issue by far but maybe this will help me get a little more comfortable.

[@The_Burin]

Thanks for the video. Have to try lmu now

[@HOn-ee2wo]

Cool Video. 25% Force Feedback ingame…. You Drive only with 8 NM is this enough for all details on the race?

[@mike_33gt]

8nm is enough

[@Jaaames]

Yeah no need for more to be honest

[@HOn-ee2wo]

@ yesssss 💪🏼✅ i ask only for the details in the car But maybe in the peak are more then 8.

[@HOn-ee2wo]

@ cool Video 💪🏼

[@S1ckb0t]

what do you think of the FFB compared to iRacing and ACC?

[@amigoz3201]

I did a lot testing lmp2 and gte on the same track, as iR looks graphically very clearly, i was really impressed how more LMU felt like driving a race car while iR was quite smooth ffb and easily to handle it.

[@Jaaames]

Honestly, I think the FFB is better than both iRacing & ACC.

[@TzeiEm]

Any updates on your settings? I bought LMU yesterday but there were much fewer things to change in the in-game wheel settings. I've heard so much good things and praise for how the game feels, but it truly felt like shit for me, so my guess is my settings were just not right. Nevertheless I ended up refunding it while I still could, because as it was yesterday for me, it was very unpleasant to drive.

[@simracerdeano]

Yo James. What is your latest wheel settings for ACC please mate

[@Jaaames]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5rFmJaqZ5KSa9ksi=YPOREv8r2LqpQjIb

@Jaaames Thanks champ

[@simracerdeano]

@Jaaames That is a 2yr old one. It would still be fine? I saw this one and using it

[@henkdeblauwe8372]

wat program do you use use to monitor your brake and accelerator pedal movements ?

[@SimRacingMotionDoc]

Thans man, but i did everything, i am so struggling with LMU, i have a SC2pro, but i dont feel enough, it has weak FFB, also the steering torque is removed from december update, is there something missing?

[@purplerain6352]

Question, where can I find the tinypedal link?

[@Pestkowisko]

any nascar vids coming up? you did rally so oval racing could be another "experience beyond your safety bubble"

[@Jaaames]

Nothing planned, would be cool tho

[@F.Hofmann04]

Can you do that with all the other sims? ACC and Iracing

[@Jaaames]

ACC is here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5rFmJaqZ5KSa9ksi=YPOREv8r2LqpQjIb For iRacing I may do a video on this in the future.

[@XavierGoncalves89]

Tried lmu again with your settings but the same issues remain, taking the lmp2 around Imola, at aque mineralli, if the rear starts to come around, there's no "seat of pants" on the ffb to inform you of what is happening, you just spin and crash

[@AllardWolff]

Just use common sense. LMP2 are slippery cars to begin with, but exiting Aque Minerale is always sketchy because you're turning whilst accelerating uphill. If it happens under braking you're locking up.

[@XavierGoncalves89]

@@AllardWolff I'm using ac and iracing as benchmarks, in both, the ffb will inform you that the rear is starting to lose grip and/or sliding, then you just catch the slide and move on

[@Michael_Simracing]

Amazing, thank you very much for the Video. By the way, can you show us maybe your ACC and iRacing Simucube profiles?

[@Jaaames]

ACC is here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5rFmJaqZ5KSa9ksi=YPOREv8r2LqpQjIb For iRacing I may do a video on this in the future.

[@bendarby1146]

I'm registered blind and new to LMU. I keep getting black flagged. Think it's because I've not made a pit stop in a race but when I drive into the pits and go to my pit box, nothing happens. I also can't find a way of backing out of the settings menu when I've gone to it from the home screen. Anyone able to help please?

[@pannonianfit1582]

does the game still lags heavy for some people? my first couple of runs were good and after that its impossible to drive

[@Jaaames]

All smooth for me, can be a bit janky at times in some of the menu's

[@wjddlrdh7126]

1:38 Only Up ahh wallpaper

[@night7475]

Love the game but im on a Thrustmaster wheel so i only get one race or one session before my FFB dies and i have to restart computer

[@RyJones90]

Does the Reset FFB not work for you? I get the exact same issue with a Moza wheel but I've mapped a button on it to reset FFB so every time I enter a session I just press it and then it works again.

[@night7475]

@@RyJones90 no it doesnt. But whenever it happens it happens for all games, not just LMU. Thats why I have to restart my whole PC instead of just closing the game.

[@Jaaames]

Sounds like a wheel or PC issue?

[@azzazz4549]

Someone was saying vrs pedals got them an extra two seconds . . . can you try them . . .

[@Jaaames]

Lol that's nonsense

[@azzazz4549]

@Jaaames I'm going to buy a set as I'm interested in a Spring brake over the rubber bushing. So I'll let you know eventually, aha

i can help you on your ffb configuration of lmu. i have rf2 for a long time and know all ffb configuration.

What do you think the odds of this coming to console are

[@MRSPORTYTRUCKER]

0, it wont come to console before they run out of money

Hello James, you know that LMU will probably shutdown very soon right ? Now that the studio is for sell, and looking at the health of this company, I don't give a lot of trust on the survive rate of this game :)
