Looking for the best settings for your newly unboxed Fanatec steering wheel?
In this guide, we’ll go over the step-by-step process of how to configure your Fanatec wheel in Assetto Corsa Competizione for unlocking pure performance.
In fact, purchasing the best wheel on the market isn’t gonna improve your lap times if the settings are all over the place.
You’ll want the wheel FFB, deadzone, linearity and saturation to be on point if you wish to get really fast and win dozens of online races.
We’ve also followed some instructions from the Fanatec official forum so that we could share with you all the best settings for each Fanatec wheel model, from the Podium F1 DD1/DD2 to the Fanatec CSL Elite and DD wheelbase.
So having said that, let’s get right into it!
How to change Fanatec wheel settings in ACC
In order for you to change the Fanatec wheel settings in ACC you’ll have to open the “options” tab in ACC, then go to “controls”, “Wheel”, and finally head over to “Force Feedback” and “Advanced” to change the settings of your Fanatec steering.
This whole process shouldn’t take longer than 2 minutes and you’ll be able to test you new FFB and pedal settings in no time.

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.
Good luck and we’ll see you on track! 🙂
