You’re looking for the frame rendering to feel smooth, not jerky in any way. These settings might be a bit hungry for your setup.

Critically, you need to set 900° of rotation in the steering wheel setup procedure, so that when you’ve finished, you’ll see a 900° setting understeering in the window above. Now, we’re going to do the input calibration procedure. Steering we’ll cover in just a moment, and as the Heusinkveld pedals have a load cell (see our guide to pedals here), you don’t need Force Factor enabled. As I have said before – a direct drive wheel can hurt you, so while you’re learning, you can start by setting these settings lower.

Set strength to anything between 3.5 and 6 (this is a personal preference, you will have to try and see what strength level works for you). For the Fanatec DD2, you don’t need linear mode. Looking at force feedback first, make sure enable force feedback is checked. In here, you’ll see setup options for steering, brakes, force feedback and more. Head to iRacing here to learn more or watch this simple video: One final assumption is that you’ve installed iRacing! iRacing installation via Steam or via the downloadable installer is extremely simple. By the end of this guide, with a bit of luck, you’ll be set up and ready to get fully involved in iRacing. I’ll also walk you through iRacing’s own setup (of course). In this guide, I’ll take you through the wheel and pedal calibration in the USB game controllers dialogue via Windows 10. Your Windows drivers are installed, your monitors are set up and working (or, your VR headset), and that pedals and wheelbase are ready to go. I’m also assuming that your sim rig is built and ready to go. I’m assuming that you’re relatively new to sim racing, that you’re certainly relatively new to iRacing, or that you’re trying iRacing for the first time having run a similar simulator like Asetto Corsa for a short while.
