So as you can see, despite all Fanatec models being relatively similar in terms of both in-game and tuning menu settings, it’s good to know that each is slightly different and that by following this guide you’ll be able to tune your Fanatec wheel model to perfection.
The gain level is always around 60%-80% depending on the wheel and the maximum steer lock is again between 900° and 1080°.
As for the dynamic dampening, it’s generally good to leave it at 100% as this setting tends to perform best when at maximum.
Conclusion
So here were all the Fanatec wheel settings that you’ll need to change in order to get the best out of your ACC experience.
Do keep in mind that these are just good wheel settings to start and that you might want to further adjust them to your own liking and driving style if you wish.
We hope that this guide was of some help to you and that you’ll be able to apply these Fanatec wheel settings with ease.
