Assetto Corsa Competizione FFB Setup Guide

This article is trophi.ai’s recommended FFB setup guide in Assetto Corsa Competizione on both Console and PC. Whether you are a new player to the popular SIM franchise or an experienced racer, there are some great tips included within this article to help you dial in like-for-like force feedback settings.

Unfortunately, there are now many different types of wheel, wheel-base, pedals and game settings that make understanding FFB confusing. This article aims to give you a better depth of knowledge regarding the specific settings within ACC and the settings related to your particular setup. Also covered, is a section explaining your wheels specific Firmware settings. Like all aspects of motorsport, the FFB settings may still require some adjustment to your personal preference. Variations in driving technique and style will mean that there is no ‘one size fits all’ setting that works for everyone.
