Years later and I still use your videos for all kinds of set ups in the game 😊. I recently upgraded to Fanatec and was having trouble with my wheel setup. 11 minutes later and I’m not only good to go but also more knowledgeable on each adjustable setting. Thanks man!!
The center spring ON is a game changer and thanks for explaing how the gas and brake should be. it worked awesome. Love the set ups, little tweaks here and there but not much.
I have used you setups in the past although I have found others that seem to better suit my driving style but I want to say thanks for your time & effort in the community. I do have to say your audio are ALWAYS distorted,. I know this vid is a year old but perhaps you'll be notified & read this. I have been trying to make my controller better so was watching this but it doesn't work for me either. But I guess no one has pointed it out but the audio in ALL of your videos is distorted & hard to listen to above a whisper. Not criticizing just saying so maybe you can do something about that in the future. Thanks again.
Thanks for the feedback. I changed microphones several months ago and I think the audio quality has gotten better, but I'll look into another mic to see if I can make it more clear.
Love your videos. Your road course setups are really good starting points I think. I make minimal adjustments. I just ordered a Logitech G923 bundle (shifter included). It was on sale. Thanks for all your videos. Fun to watch and learn.
As UK guy I am trying to get used to this game it's good but my goodness it's tough. The braking is still so hard for me to master. Thanks for the video
Thank you so much for this , I could not figure out why the wheel was moving so much at center with no input then i wobble the car and hit the wall = Turns out the game preset set the steering dead zone at half lol …. AGAIN = Thank you so much for your videos these videos turn this game into a better Nascar experience 🙏🙏👍👍
What settings do you have your fanatec wheel on the wheel itself? I have the same wheel as you and havnt been able to make it work as good as I feel it should be. Love the vidoes!
I'm going to give you two replies. First, let me update you on some in-game settings, then I will go to the actual wheel settings. I'm always trying new things to see if I can get better, so let me tell you about a few things that I've tried since I did this video. I've tried turning the centering spring off and I actually liked it better. Maybe I've developed enough muscle memory that I don't need the spring, but turning it off helped. I've also found that at tracks where you're barely off the gas and the get back on the gas hard, I can turn the throttle sensitivity way up. Finally, I've also found that at short tracks and road courses, I've gone to the game play settings and turned the brake smoothing off. It seems like it makes it easier to slow the car down for the turns. I wouldn't recommend this for tracks >1 mile, because it's so easy to lock up the brakes, it makes getting onto pit road a real challenge.
Here's my wheel settings: Sen 270, FF 100, Dri 3, FEI 0, BLI 100, SHO 100, Brf Lo. The wheel is so adjustable, it took me a month or two to get it dialed-in. Play with different settings and see what works for you. One thing that I did receive as a tip, was that the FEI makes huge difference in the Heat games, and to run it between 0-30, so you might want to start with that adjustment, but overall, it's about what feels comfortable to you.
Great video , do u have any tips on entering and exiting corners on regular oval tracks ? I guess it matters on track snd tune but I would like a general tactic on I should enter exit exit corners. How to practice them ? Like should go in a corner full throttle and let off gas while in the turn and then accelerate when exiting ?
Each track is different, but I have some general rules to follow. The first one is one of the hardest to learn: Corner exit is more important than corner entry. A lot of newer racers think that the key to a fast lap is to drive a car into a corner as deep as possible, and this just isn't true. Your corner entry only affects you from corner entry to mid-corner. Corner exit affects you from mid-corner all the way down the next straight stretch until you hit the next turn, which is a much bigger portion of the track. Corner speed is not about how deep you can drive a car into a corner, it's about how quickly you can get back on the gas to exit the corner. Next, start the corner early. At most tracks, you want to start coming off the wall and arcing into the corner while you're still on the straight stretch. Mid-corner is where you want to be on the bottom of the track, next to the apron. This is true almost everywhere except Kansas, where you rim ride. Think of the corner as making the widest arc that you can, but the apex of the arc has to put the car at the bottom of the track, so it's a wide arc that starts when you're on the straight stretch, the apex is in the middle of the corner at the bottom of the track and the end of the arc is the exit of the corner back against the wall. The final tip is to take a wide exit. I used to try and keep the car at the bottom of the track all the way through the exit, but I found that by keeping the car at the bottom and not letting it drift to the wall as you exit, you're losing speed on the straight stretch. Finally, at tracks that are a trioval or D-Shaped Oval (Chicagoland, Charlotte, Atlanta, Auto Club), let car drift out to the wall on exit, but then come back down the track to the bottom or apron as you go through the tri-oval. You don't lose any speed by going to the bottom and you shorten the front stretch a little bit. Each track is a little bit different, but these are some general rules that apply to almost all corners, and almost all tracks. I hope this is what you were looking for.
@@theset-upman3500 u are awesome and thank you for detailed response. Questions I have since I’m new to this nascar but want to learn . When u say deep in the corner , are we saying racers right away go straight down to the apron once the corner starts ? If so, we should not do that because of what u explained up too ? When u mentioned mid corner , are we talking about apex? Also Regarding straight stretch ? When I see a corner coming , are we saying get off the wall but stay in the middle of the track and not go down to the apron right away ? I should go to the apron when I hit the apex ? Thank you for your help
The pedals on my thrust master TMX will not work on NASCAR heat five but my wheel works could my steering wheel possibly need to be updated I’m using the Thrust master TMX
I have a question is there a way to reset the options for the wheel to put in my new settings. Before I had the cheap thrustmaster which only had 720 but my new 923 is at a 900. Is there a way to reset the wheel settings?
I've asked several people about this, and I've gotten two answers. First, the only way to reset it, is to uninstall and re-install the game, or log in using a different GT. The second answer was completely opposite. The second answer was to adjust the rotation on your wheel, and the game will automatically adjust, which basically means that the 270/900 setting in the game is basically meaningless if your wheel overrides that setting.
experiencing an incredible amount of random wheel jerking.. have a Fanatec CSL DD..not sure what is going on.. just got the game. Never experienced this on any other sim before..is there something I'm missing here..?
I'm not sure what's causing it, but here's my guess. The wheel is oscilating, which means that it wants to jerk back and forth if you don't hold a very firm grip on it. Adjust your NDP (Natural Damper) and NFR (Natural Friction) settings and see if you can reduce or eliminate it. I can't remember whether you go up or down on those settings, but try moving them all the way up or all the way down and see if one of those helps.
Use the Thrustmaster to boot up the game, or turn your controller off once the game boots up. The game recognizes whatever controller was used to boot the game as the default controller, so you have to either boot the game up using your wheel or turn off the controller once the game boots up.
I'd be happy to help out by doing a video, but can you be a little more specific on what you're looking for? Do you mean how you connect the base, wheel, pedals, etc.? How it connects to a wheel stand/rig? something else?
If you have a clutch and a shifter, then Yes, it will save a tremendous amount of fuel. If you just have the paddle shifters, then the clutch doesn't really do anything.
I’ve got a Thrustmaster T248 but the Only way I can accelerate is by using the clutch pedal. I want to remap it so that my gas pedal is what makes me accelerate and then my clutch pedal does nothing because I just have the paddle shifters any idea what might be causing this ?
Turns out there is a way to invert your pedals so that you can hang the pedal set upside down. So they added a wheel setting that can invert your gas and brake so I accidentally swapped it from floor which is the normal setting to inverted somehow.
I used to run with a Thrustmaster, and inverted the gas and clutch by accident one time. I thought that I had destroyed my wheel. I was in a panic until I found out that there was a way to put it back to the normal settings. I didn't know that running them upside down was the reason that Thrustmaster had that option. I was about to respond and tell you that there is some sequence of buttons (I can't remember the exact sequence, but I'm sure that it's somewhere on the internet) that you push to get it back to normal settings.
Do you know how we can change the rotation degrees of the wheel because I would like to get mine to be 270 but I don’t know where to change that ? Thanks
This is a great question. The first time you play the game, I think it asks you if you want your wheel rotation to be 270 degrees or 900 degrees, but after you make the initial selection, I don't think there's an option to get back to that screen. However, most wheels have options to change the degree of rotation, and I think that if you change it on your wheel, the game will accept it. I tested this by changing mine from 270, to 360, 450, 540 and 900, and the game accepted the changes. You can verify this by going into the "Player 1" controls and testing the sensitivity once you've made the change. So, I'd start by seeing how you change the degree of rotation on your wheel instead of within the game. Hope this helps.
Play around with the settings in the game, as well as the in game settings and see what works for you. I'd also be hesitant about using someone else's settings, unless they are also on a Thrustmaster. It seems like thrustmaster, Logitech and Fanatec have drastically different settings. I'd look for some CZcams videos on Thrustmaster wheel settings, that should help with learning the adjustments that yo can make on your wheel.
@USTE PRRO :v I used to use a Thrustmaster TS-XW Racer, that's what I used in my early videos. In October 2020, I got a Fanatec Forza Bundle, and I love it!!!
So for some reason I can't get my $400 steering wheel to steer my f****** car because I had a different wheel and I think I put it on 240 degrees and I cannot get back to that screen to save my life. I haven't even been able to use this new thing and I don't know how to go about fixing that
Wow! I really feel bad for you! I'm not sure if I can help or not. First question, are you on XBox or Playstation? I'm gonna get on later today and I can see if I can find the screen that allows you to make those changes.

So wait, im confused; is it a ball or a dial? Also, bless you. Lol great video(s) man! Appreciate the content
Really like the videos and the tips.. just saw the video on the wheel set up. Gonna try it.. with that said the royal set up I’m doing 1:18 to 1;20
The game seems to only let me setup steering wheel for player 2. Where do I go to set it up for player 1?
My throttle only goes to 50% with the sensitivity maxed out 😢.
They need to add a calibration option in the game because I can't play it.
