Best Le Mans Ultimate Settings for Logitech G29 / G920
Updated for version 1.3.
Le Mans Ultimate is the new game from the makers of rFactor 2. This is clearly built on the rFactor 2 engine, but has a much nicer game built around it. The driving experience is excellent, though I was hoping for a more full-fledged single player experience.
The Logitech G29 and G920 work very well with it. rFactor 2 has fantastic force feedback and all of that carries over to Le Mans Ultimate. The default settings even work very well. There are only a few small modifications that I have made.
In this guide, I will first show the settings you need to set in G HUB, then the in-game settings to improve the force feedback.
G HUB Settings
Le Mans Ultimate has a Soft Lock, so you can set the steering angle in G HUB to the maximum.
Create a new profile for Le Mans Ultimate with the following settings:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Operating Range | 900° |
| Sensitivity | 50 |
| Centering Spring in Non Force Feedback Games | Unchecked |
Le Mans Ultimate Settings
In Settings > Controls > Wheel & Pedals > Calibrate:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Use Steering Wheel Range From Vehicle | On |
| Use Steering Wheel Maximum Rotation from Driver | On |
Use Steering Wheel Range From Vehicle automatically sets the Soft Lock to match the real world steering angle of each car. Disable this to use a custom steering angle for all cars.
Use Steering Wheel Maximum Rotation from Driver will detect the maximum steering rotation from what is set in G HUB. Disable this to override that.
In Settings > Controls > Wheel & Pedals > Force Feedback:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Force Feedback Effects | On |
| Invert Force Feedback | Off |
| Force Feedback Strength | 100% |
| Force Feedback Smoothing | 5-7 |
| Minimum Steering Torque | 0% |
| Additional Force Feedback Effects | 95% |
| Engine Force Feedback Effects | 0% |
| Collision Strength | 150% |
| Steering Torque Sensitivity | 100% |
| Use Vendor Specific Force Feedback | On |
| Use Constant Steering Force Effect | Off |
Force Feedback Strength is the overall strength of the force feedback. 100% works perfectly fine, but you can always adjust this to your liking.
Force Feedback Smoothing needs to be raised to lessen some loud and annoying vibrations, particularly if you flat spot a tire. I keep this quite high, at the expense of some road texture, or else the wheel can get much too loud for my liking. This is entirely up to personal preference. You want to keep this as low as possible to get the most detail, but without being distracted by the noise.
Minimum Steering Torque raises the lightest forces. I don't find this is actually necessary, but you can raise this if you want more road noise.
Additional Force Feedback Effects vibrates the wheel when the car loses traction. This can be useful when you lock up the brakes, or are entering understeer. It's a light effect, so needs to be set very high to be noticeable (90-100%). If you don't like this kind of effect, feel free to turn this off completely.
Engine Force Feedback Effects has no effect on these wheels. I think this is a TrueForce setting for the G923.
Collision Strength is how much the wheel shakes when you hit something.
Steering Torque Sensitivity adds or removes weight from the wheel.
Use Constant Steering Force Effect is only used for very old wheels.
Conclusion
Le Mans Ultimate has a lot to like about it. The driving is great and the cars sound good. I'm disappointed there isn't more single player content like the F1 games. This could be a great way to get people into sim racing, especially if there was a driving school or some way to teach the basics in a high quality simulator like this.
