Member, Administrator
General Notes:
-
The settings below are considered to be reasonable baseline values for
Gran Turismo Sport (PS4/PS5). They might not suit all tastes and driving styles, but they are a good starting point. Bear in mind that GT Sport uses a dynamic physics engine covering a broad range of cars and tracks,
meaning that these settings might not be 'optimal' for every possible
driving scenario.
- Please ensure you are using the latest firmware for all Fanatec devices.

Comments
I tried those recommended settings but struggled to experience any realistic feel while driving on GT Sport.
And I don't think they do any justice to the Podium PS4 DD. At first, I almost regret to have wait sooooo long, and pay so much, for an inferior feeling compared to what I have experienced on GT6 with a well setted CSW 2.0. The steering feels very light close to the center and very heavy past 90 degrees. Reactions are way too violent while the FFB feels too light...
Even my lagging and shaking T500RS gave me a more natural feeling than those settings.
I'm driving sometimes on track in real life.
Here is the car list that I drove on track: VW Scirroco R, modified Toyota GT86, girlfriend's Renault Megane 3RS 275 and my Honda S2000. I also drove a 2015 Ford Mustang V8 and an Audi RS3 stage 1 on open road.
But as you can see, no race car or supercar, so I won't affirm anything about the feeling of driving one.
Anyway, my girlfriend and I drive a lot the Megane and the S2000 IRL, and what we were expecting with the Podium PS4, was a feeling as close as a real one when driving both of them in GTSport.
Fortunately the podium DD is completely tunable.
I like sometimes to drift, so I setted the FFB with the Porsche 918 Rim instead of the F1 one. It took me 4 hours to find the right settings on GTSport, and 10 more to be sure they still be enjoyable with the vast majority of car and driving style ...
Here are my recommend settings if you want a "close to real" steering wheel feeling:
SEN AUT
FF 45
SHO 100
ABS 100 (better if you don't use ABS with CSV3 pedals)
FOR 70
SPR 80
DPR 30
NDP 30
NFR 90
BRF OFF (better if you don't use ABS with CSV3 pedals)
FEI 50
In-Game Settings:
Force Feedback Max Torque: 5
Force Feedback Sensitivity: 5
Those settings left my girlfriend and me completly stunned by the FFB feel. This is as close as what we experienced through the steering wheel while driving the Megane and the S2000 on open road or on track. (And she perfectly knows how her Renault feel on track too, so her feedback helped me a lot for the last tweaks)
I tested those settings with a lot of cars. They allow me to enjoy the game in a way I never experienced. All my inputs are smoothed, the lag is inexistent. I can drift smoother and longer than before.
I feel through the steering wheel every charge transfer I apply to the car. I can even drive fast while sliding or drift the infamous hard to drive Amuse S2000 (the steering feel is close to the assisted steering of my real S2000). It was not the most pleasant car to drive with the T500 RS, but now, this is simply my favourite driving experience on this game.
As for race cars. Just put back the F1 Rim. The smaller diameter allows for a stronger FFB while keeping the same settings, the lightest weight allows for faster reactions, and the auto sensitivity for a shorter steering rack.
Race car are way more sensitives than road cars, but catching slides is easier than before. Everything feel so natural, so intense, so real...
Another stunning detail. In real life, while driving a road car with moderate caster and 900+ degrees steering rack at constant pace, there is something like 20 degrees around the center where the steering will not self center.
Sometimes, to check if tires pressure and geometry are balanced in my S2000, at 100 kph, I lightly throw the steering left or right and see how it reacts.
All I can say is, when I'm doing it in GTSport, same thing happened: steering wheel don't stupidly bounce left or right, but try to gently self center in one or two oscillations maximum.
You will experienced the same with those settings. This is just incredible. Really. Thanks to the Natural Friction parameter which mimics all the moving parts of the steering between the steering wheel and the road.
Please test this game without ABS, and you will discover that cars are rotating on the brakes like IRL. The super ABS of GTSport acts more like an ESP while braking, which tone down the driving experience a lot.
Without it, the feeling is close (and slightly better for me) to the PS4 version of Assetto Corsa.
I want to add that the FFB force is close to the one needed in the Megane and my S2000 equipped with semi-slick tires to rotate the steering wheel. And it's only about 50% of the maximum NM available in peak...
Thank you so much Fanatec for this direct drive. This is what I wish to experienced since I get into virtual driving while playing the very first Gran Turismo...
If some real drivers could help to improve those settings, that would be great.
Best regards.
Have fun!
In-Game settings:

This subject deserves proper, definitive input from Fanatec and Polyphony Digital, seeing as only a subset of the Fanatec API appears to be used in GT Sport.
I think there is a lot of confusion from users so here is my attempt to clear things up.
CSL Elite Wheel Base + / CSL Elite Racing Wheel PS4™
Tuning Menu Settings:
SEN AUT // Adjusts steering limits for each car, automatically
FF 100 // I believe this controls torque gain AND clipping limit, so should be left at maximum.
SHO ... // No effect
ABS ... // No effect
DRI -02 // Adds some damping to the steering
FOR 50 // General FF gain. User preference.
SPR ... // No effect
DPR ... // No effect
BRF ... // Sets full-scale brake pedal load (or displacement. User preference
FEI 60 // For me, this value is enough for adequate vibrational cueing but not enough to induce loud knocking noises.
In-Game Settings:
Force Feedback Max Torque: 5 // I've yet to try a trade-off between this and FOR on the wheel. For now, this works.
Force Feedback Sensitivity: 10 // I believe this is somewhat analogous to steering column torsional stiffness. The higher, the better, subject to achieving adequate wheel stability (achievable with assistance of negative DRI).
These are the settings i use for GTS on CSL Elite for PS4.
Tuning Menu Settings:
SEN personal preference i have mine on 40 , maybe less if it's an F1 type car.
FF 100
SHO this setting is only for Clubsport wheels
ABS 100
DRI -05 this reduces oscillation for normal racing, 1 - 5 is for Drifting the wheel responds faster.
FOR 90
SPR this pulls the wheel to the centre, i have mine set on 90
DPR this i'm unsure of, can't tell any difference
BRF 30
FEI turn off or you could experience clipping.
In-Game settings
FFB Max Torque 3
FFB Sensitivity 4
Always best to lower In-game settings and have your wheel settings such as FFB higher
Hello
Has someone a good setting with driver 352 ?

Hallo people,
I'm now using the Podium DD F1 sinds 8-12-2019 and come up whit the following FFB settings for GT sport and hope there are users ho can give it a go and give there opinion of these settings.
My settings are:
In game:
Max force> 2.
Sensitive force> 10. (In my opinion The weight from the beginning of steering is important).
Podium DD F1:
SEN> Auto.
FFB> 100.
LIN> On. (On because of the 100% FFB setting).
NDP> 40.
NFR> 5.
NIN>35.
INT> 8/10 user prefrence for detail. (In my opiniun not lower than 8, higher is les detail but rounded force).
FEI> 60/70 user prefrence for intensivity (In my opinion not lower than 60 or higher then 70).
FOR>100.
SPR>100.
DPR>100.
ABS>On.
SHO>100.
Thank you if you are going to try these settings.
I hope that you give me your opinion after trying them out.
Keep it up Fanatec!!
So since yesterday i`m back to driver 335.
It`s the best ever i played.
The LC Pedals of my Podium DD1 PS4 are set manually.
Keep it up Fanatec!!
Why did you downgrade from v346 to v335? I just downgraded from v347 to v346 and really feel a positive difference. I just need a new stable version that supports the BME so I can mount my Porsche wheel with all buttons and display working.
Now it is gone, perfect
Hi
Im looking for a setting on gt sport for my elite f1 wheel / v3 pedals
Will these recommended settings be updated for the new tuning menu settings in Driver 352 and I'm assuming whatever drivers they make now and in the future?
Nevermind I found under the beta drivers thread what settings to use. Just your regular settings you had in the previous driver with a little tweak to LIN, NIN, INT. With INT being the most prominent. I see why people want INT lower than 6 (for a sharper FFB) but I put mine at 20 for testing and it feels pretty damn good.
Hi, I have just installed last drivers v365. All its ok at the moment. i have just have a problem configuring SHIFTER i followed steps and all working.
Could you update recommended settings for last driver v365? There are parameters without any configuration
what Brake force BRF do you use with v3 pedals or it is recommended? im a bit lost with this, Thank you very much
I have made a Google sheet with all settings for the Podium Racing Wheel F1 and the various games I play, including Gran Turismo Sport, which you can use as a good baseline. It will be changed on an ongoing basis when I finetune the Podium Racing Wheel F1 and in game settings and learn more from forum posts:
