Configuring your controller, Technical Support

Configuring your controller

To open the R660 GT Force Feedback Wheel panel, click on the Windows Start icon, then select Settings, Control Panel, Games Controllers. Highlight R660 GT Force Wheel and click on Properties. This will open the panel to the right.

Test

The Test screen shows you whether your controller is working correctly. Moving your controller and pressing the various buttons should result in a response onscreen.

Force

Click on the Force tab to adjust the strength of the force feedback on your controller. The Default Gain slider will adjust the amount of force feedback felt through the controller.

The Spring Gain slider will adjust the strength of harsh effects such as crashes or bumps. The Damper Gain slider will adjust the strength of softer effects such as cornering resistance.

The Default Spring setting affects the centering mechanism of the controller. Check the Always On box so the motors in the controller will return the wheel

to centre if you let go of the wheel when you have turned it in a direction; unchecking this box means that the wheel will not centre itself. Please note that the force feedback effects will feel slightly stronger if this box isn't checked. The slider allows you to adjust the strength with which the wheel will centre itself if the Always On box is ticked.

Deadzones

The Deadzones tab allows you to change how far you move the wheel or pedals before they have an effect.

Increasing the X Axis deadzone means you have to turn the wheel more to the left or right before it steers your car left or right.

Increasing the Gas and Brake deadzones means you have to press down further on the pedals before they increase power or apply brakes.
