What are the best Fanatec settings for Forza Horizon 4?

Our recommended Forza Horizon 4 wheel settings are:

Vibration = On
Inverted vertical lock = Off
Steering axis deadzone inside = 0
Steering axis deadzone Outside = 100
Steering linearity = 50
Acceleration axis deadzone inside = 1
Acceleration axis deadzone Outside = 100
Deceleration axis deadzone inside = 10
Deceleration axis deadzone Outside = 100
Clutch axis deadzone inside = 15
Clutch axis deadzone Outside = 80
E-brake axis deadzone inside = 20
E-brake axis deadzone outside = 100

So as you can see most of the deadzone settings are all set to zero as it gives you the most precise control over the car.

We also recommend having your steering linearity at 50 as it provides a good balance between sharpness and smoothness.

And finally, for the clutch and e-brake, we recommend having a relatively high deadzone as it’s easy to accidentally trigger these on the track.

Overall, these Fanatec settings should give you the best performance and handling in FH4.

Conclusion

So here were our recommended settings for using Fanatec wheels in Forza Horizon 4.

Hopefully with these settings you’ll be now able to feel more grip from the car and drive with much greater precision.
