    Hi People i am new to your Forum but would like some info if you can give it. I currently have a Fanatec GT2 wheel which is is only 2 months old and works a Treat in Assetto Corsa and other driving games but in Project Cars it feels a bit wooden and lacking of FFB this isn't the feeling in other games.

    No.1 Is the T300 GTE or T300 rs (same wheel base) much much better feeling than the GT2 Fanatec in PC and other games?
    No2 Or is it just Project Cars and the T300 in Project Cars feels a bit bad too?

    If any one has had a Fanatec GT2 or GT3 wheel and now has a T300 wheel and can give some info on the matter and the feeling of the the two wheels compared would be of much use thank you very much.

    I think i might sell my GT2 if anyone is interested and get one of these t300 gte's $500 is steep but hope it's worth it. Any offers on the 2 month old GT2 send em my way.

    Have you played around with the wheel settings? You can store 5 different configurations for different games or modes. Default didn't feel good after I switched over from a G27 but I now have a good setup that suits me better than what the G27 could provide.

    You might want to jump in ts one night Jettn (tomorrow night we'll be on) and we can chat about your settings there. Not sure anyone runs that particular wheel, but we can advise what things to look for.

    Best to read the manual and adjust the settings to suit your own style but here are some of my settings:
    • Sensitivity: 900 degrees
    • Force Feedback: 100%
    • Shock Vibration: 100%
    • Drift Mode: 2 to 3 for quick wheel counter steering or ability to change wheel direction quickly.
    • ABS Vibration: around 67%, used as a notification that I'm pressing hard enough on the brakes rather than in-game ABS activation.
    • Linearity: 0
    • Dead Zone: 0
    • Spring: +4, strongest setting for wheel self centring.
    • Damper: -4, inertia or the resistance felt when steering the wheel is the least in this setting.
    • ACL: Off, does nothing because it's a Forza setting.
