I've only got a few hours in-game so far, but with a G27 I've gotten it to a nice spot. The FFB is definitely whacky but after tweaking I think I got it decent.
In-game the FFB is set to ~1/8 to 1/4 on the bar, it gets rid of the massive jerking and still has the rough surface bumping. Steering/Pedals are all 45deg lines (set deadzone/max and it should sort itself out) and that gets rid of the sudden surges of power from a non 1:1 curve.
In the Logitech Profiler I use 100% on everything and 360deg Rotation. !!WARNING!! If you want to use more than the in-game 180-200 degree rotation do NOT tick the "Allow game to adjust settings". Leave that unticked and the game will simply use what you set in the Profiler. The in-car camera won't reflect this, but the tires will.
I use 'Hardcore' handling though I haven't tested other modes to see how that affects things.
Overall, it's not DiRT 2 levels of FFB (pure perfection) but it's good enough to still be enjoyable. The FFB needs to be smoothed is the biggest thing, going off-road shouldn't jerk the wheel from 0 to 100% Force constantly. I would also wish for a better deadzone selection since small movements cause too much reaction, but I'm getting use to what we have (using 360+ degree helps compensate).
Okay just started playing with my T300RS. The force feedback is way to strong and I have it set to just above the minimum. Right now it feels like I'm driving with a non FFB wheel. For my settings (PS4) I have the steering linearity at max and the dead zone at the min. It is drivable but not how good Driveclub feels.
Started out with H shifter plus clutch. Turned clutch off after I found out it's useless to have on. Switched to paddles after finding out that several cars have seven gears. Turned FFB down a few notches eventually, but it feels unnatural at times.
That being said, it isn't horrible. Just needs some work.
iv been playing the crew since the first pc beta n played everyone til launch from pc to ps4, from g25 to thrustmaster t300rs updating a ongoing post yet only know are people see that the t300 had issues.... i was told, by mod, thrustmaster this would be fixed and yet id try to let the masses know but only know do they see ...This is a pist with every update iv added from beta one to launch

This needs to be fixed asap as I don't have a controller nor will buy one just for this game, this game is unplayable the car spins out in the middle of a straight a way with just the slight touch of the wheel. Force feedback for the G27 is a joke it has no road feel to it, and it feels like I'm driving on black ice while using a G27..
I have it feeling great with a g25 which should be identical to the g27 ! No more loose feeling in the straights, no more jerky feedback and 900 degrees. In the Logitech profiler under the global force feedback settings you must uncheck Allow game to control settings and set to 900 degrees if you want. What got it right for me was to crank the Force Feedback in game right full but turn it down in the logitech profiler under the global device settings, I like it as low at 55 percent. I feel everything in the road, it's no longer spastic and I feel slip during understeer as well now. Pretty happy !.Originally Posted by ozm8ey Go to original post
I've got a Thrustmaster F430 FFB Wheel and I just spent the last two hours getting the settings just so - it is brilliant now. I can now go for miles down the highway, weaving in and out of the traffic and not hit anything. Cool, really cool!
I do, however, agree with all you guys who say the FFB needs tweaking. Going off road does seem to increase the FFB by about a factor of 20. Sadly, this means that you have to have the FFB turned right down, which means you barely feel anything on the highways. All it needs is a little tweak.
I have to say, I wasn't immensely impressed when I started playing the game. That was until, whilst hammering it up and down a highway getting my wheel settings just so, I thought to myself, 'I wonder what these settings feel like off-road?'. A big smile spread across my face as I flung the steering wheel right and drove off the highway and off into the fields. That was so flippin' cool...
That's when I 'got' the game...
Update, after 6 hours with The Crew and my T300rs. Right now with my current settings (FFB two notches from bottom, all dead zones down, and all linearity up) im having an enjoyable time with the game. So far at level 12 Ive been silver or Golding most events and beating my crew mates who all use a controller. If ubisoft could adjust the FFB so that's more responsible and we can get a better feel of our cars I'd be a happy camper. It's very empty in the center and I don't get a good feed for the road on straights. The vibration for wheels needs some work as well.
