Your wheel needs to give you the right information to be able to do this. ConclusionĮspecially in a rally game, simply being able to control the car is half the fun. Suspension, Ground Surface and Collision all work together to give the rumble effects as you drive over bumps, go off the track or hit things on the side of the road. You could turn this higher if you like the effect. I don't particularly like this, so I have turned it down to the point where you practically can't feel it at all. I don't care for this, so I nearly turn it off.Įngine setting vibrates the wheel whenever the engine hits the red line. If this is too high, it can be very jarring every time you slide the car around a corner.
Tyre Slip vibrates the wheel whenever the car loses traction. The vibration forces tell more about the surface of the track, though they are largely canned effects. It just puts the wheel back to the center.
Recentre Force is only used when you reset the car after going off the track. If you turn this up too high, it will make the wheel feel very heavy, constantly resisting any turn you put in the wheel. If you use this at all, keep it very low. Self Centre is the spring force, which artificially pulls the wheel back to the center. Setting this too high will make the wheel unnecessarily heavy. Tyre Load is a damper effect based on the load on the tires. Effectively, this is trying to keep the wheels straight, and is what causes the wheel to snap around as the tires straighten out of a corner. Self Aligning Torque is the main force that tells you what the car is doing. It makes it easy to keep the same proportions of forces, while raising or lowering the overall strength of each type. I like how the WRC games separate the force feedback from vibrations and have separate overall levels for each type. In Options > Controls > Settings: Setting WRC 8 Settings In Options > Controls > Key Bindings > Steering: Setting I dialed in the settings so the steering isn't too heavy and the wheel is free to snap around as necessary, making it very well suited to many of the intricate tracks with lots of tight hairpin turns.Ĭreate a new profile for WRC 8 with the following settings: Setting Thankfully, this is easily rectified by applying the right force feedback settings. You end up fighting against the wheel instead of working with it to control the car. The wheel feels too heavy, with very little road detail being felt. Unfortunately for the Logitech G29 and G920, the default force feedback settings don't give the best first impression. Games like this work best when played with a force feedback wheel. The physics are believable and the courses are very detailed. WRC 8 is a surprisingly great rally game. Best WRC 8 Settings for Logitech G29 / G920 J| Filed under: Logitech
