F1 25 Wheel Settings: Fanatec, Moza, Logitech, Simagic

F1 25 is one of the fussier sims to get FFB right on. Modern Formula 1 cars generate huge aero load and the game translates that hard through the wheel – too much in-game strength and you clip the signal into silence, too little damping and the wheel oscillates on the straights. Below are the 2026 community-consensus baseline settings for every major sim racing wheel brand – Fanatec, Moza, Simagic, Simucube, Logitech and Thrustmaster – with the in-game side too. Use these as your start point and adjust to taste.

Why F1 25 is fussy about FFB

F1 25’s physics put a lot through the wheel – more aero, more grip, more downforce than any GT sim. Run too much in-game strength on top of high software strength and you’ll clip the signal: the FFB saturates flat at maximum and you stop feeling the difference between a light load and a heavy one. That’s why the universal pattern in the settings below is “high in the wheelbase software, lower in-game” – it gives the wheel the headroom to actually communicate.

The other thing to know: direct drive wheels in particular tend to oscillate on the straights in F1 25 if your damping is too low. The community fix is to handle damping in your wheelbase software (Fanalab, Pit House, SimPro Manager, TrueDrive) rather than in-game, and to keep the in-game Wheel Damper low. There’s a fuller explanation of the two-layer FFB system in the DD wheel settings hub, and the basics are in our FFB setup guide.

Fanatec settings for F1 25

Covers the CSL DD (5 and 8Nm), ClubSport DD (12Nm), ClubSport DD+ (15/18Nm) and the Podium DD1/DD2. Settings are entered in Fanalab on PC, or directly in the on-wheel tuning menu on console. The pattern with Fanatec for F1 25 is to keep the Fanalab FFB high but pull the in-game strength back as you climb the torque range – the bigger the base, the more headroom you need.

Fanalab / tuning menu	CSL DD (5/8Nm)	ClubSport DD (12Nm)	ClubSport DD+ (18Nm)	Podium DD1/DD2 (20/25Nm)
SEN (Sensitivity)	360	360	360	360
FF (Force)	100	75	65	45-50
FFS (Scaling)	Peak	Peak	Peak	Peak
NDP (Natural Damper)	35	55	45	45
NFR (Natural Friction)	Off	Off	Off	Off
NIN (Natural Inertia)	Off	Off	Off	Off
INT (Interpolation)	3	10	10	10
FEI (Force Effect)	100	100	100	100

F1 25 in-game	CSL DD 5Nm	CSL DD 8Nm	ClubSport DD / DD+ / Podium
Vibration & FFB Strength	80	70	55-65
On-Track Effects	30	30	30
Rumble Strip Effects	30	30	30
Off-Track Effects	15	15	15
Wheel Damper	3-5	3-5	3-5
Understeer Enhance	Off	Off	Off
Maximum Wheel Rotation	360	360	360

Moza settings for F1 25

Covers the R5, R9, R12, R16 and R21 bases via Pit House. Moza’s FFB Effects Equalizer gives you per-frequency control that the other brands don’t have – but for F1 25, you don’t need to dive that deep. The headline pattern is high FFB intensity on the smaller bases, lower percentages as you go up in torque, plus a chunk of Natural Inertia to stop the wheel feeling hyperactive on turn-in. The R12 review covers some of the deeper Pit House territory in our Moza R12 review.

Pit House setting	R5 / R9	R12	R16 / R21
Maximum Steering Angle	360	360	360
FFB Intensity	100%	85-90%	70-80%
Natural Damping	15-25%	15-25%	15-25%
Wheel Friction	5%	5%	5%
Natural Inertia	150%	150%	150%
Speed Dependent Damping	30%	30%	30%

F1 25 in-game	R5 / R9	R12	R16 / R21
Vibration & FFB Strength	75	65	50
On-Track Effects	20-25	20-25	20-25
Rumble Strip Effects	25-30	25-30	25-30
Off-Track Effects	15	15	15
Wheel Damper	0-3	0-3	0-3
Understeer Enhance	Off	Off	Off

Simagic settings for F1 25

Covers the Alpha Mini, Alpha and Alpha U via SimPro Manager. Simagic’s software is refreshingly stripped back compared to Fanalab – three sliders you’ll actually touch. For F1 25, keep the strength scaled to your base’s torque, the road sensitivity low (the game’s static can rattle the rim otherwise), and let the sim do most of the work.

SimPro Manager	Alpha Mini (10Nm)	Alpha (15Nm)	Alpha U (23Nm)
Overall Strength	90%	70%	45%
Damping	10-15%	10-15%	10-15%
Friction	5%	5%	5%
Road Sensitivity	1-3	1-3	1-3
Suspension / Spring	0%	0%	0%

F1 25 in-game	All Simagic bases
Vibration & FFB Strength	65-75 (test in Time Trial)
On-Track Effects	20
Rumble Strip Effects	20
Wheel Damper	5
Understeer Enhance	Off
Maximum Wheel Rotation	360

Simucube settings for F1 25

Covers the SC2 Pro and Simucube 2 Ultimate via TrueDrive. F1 25 is built around consumer gear, so on a high-end Simucube you don’t need monster output – 10 to 12Nm of effective torque is plenty for an F1 car. The reconstruction filter does most of the heavy lifting for smoothing F1 25’s sharper FFB edges. There’s more on TrueDrive in our Simucube 3 write-up and the Simucube troubleshooting guide.

TrueDrive / Tuner	SC2 Pro (25Nm)	Simucube 2 Ultimate (32Nm)
Steering Range	360	360
Overall Strength	40-50% (10-12Nm)	30-40% (10-12Nm)
Reconstruction Filter	3-5	3-5
Damping	10-15%	10-15%
Friction	0-5%	0-5%
Slew Rate Limit	Unlimited	Unlimited

F1 25 in-game	All Simucube
Vibration & FFB Strength	55-65
On-Track Effects	20
Rumble Strip Effects	20
Off-Track Effects	15
Wheel Damper	0-2 (do the damping in TrueDrive)
Understeer Enhance	Off

Logitech settings for F1 25

Covers the gear-driven G29/G920/G923 and the direct drive Logitech G PRO and RS50. The two groups need very different in-game settings – the gear wheels want a lot more strength to overcome their internal friction, the DD wheels behave more like the others on this page. On the G923, the TrueForce Audio setting is the additional one to know about – higher values give you the engine and surface vibrations through the rim. There’s a deep dive in our Logitech G923 settings guide and the RS50 PC settings guide.

Driver / on-wheel	G29 / G923 (gear)	G PRO / RS50 (DD)
Operating Range	900 (game auto-locks to 360)	360
Centering Spring	Off	Off
Strength (on-wheel)	n/a	11Nm
TF Audio (on-wheel)	n/a	20-30
Filter	n/a	3
Dampener	n/a	1

F1 25 in-game	G29 / G923	G PRO / RS50
Vibration & FFB Strength	90-110	80-88
On-Track Effects	65	25
Rumble Strip Effects	55-60	25
Off-Track Effects	60	20
Wheel Damper	7-10	0-5
TrueForce Audio (G923 only)	120	30
Understeer Enhance	Off	Off

Thrustmaster settings for F1 25

Covers the belt-driven T300 (and TX) and the direct drive T818, both via the Thrustmaster Control Panel. Thrustmaster’s approach to F1 25 is to let the game do the FFB work with minimal driver-side processing – leave Spring and Damper at 100, Boost off, and tune strength in-game.

TM Control Panel	T300 (3.9Nm peak)	T818 (10Nm)
Rotation	360 (or 900)	360 (or 900)
Overall Strength	75%	100%
Spring	100%	100%
Damper	100%	100%
Boost	Off	Off

F1 25 in-game	T300	T818
Vibration & FFB Strength	85-90	60-70
On-Track Effects	30	20
Rumble Strip Effects	30	20
Off-Track Effects	20	10
Wheel Damper	5	2
Understeer Enhance	Off	Off

Common mistakes in F1 25

• Cranking in-game FFB strength to 100. F1 25’s downforce model maxes out the signal long before then. You’ll feel huge weight on the straights and nothing in the corners. Drop it until you can feel the load change between a slow and a fast corner.
• Leaving Understeer Enhance ON. It makes the wheel go artificially limp to “warn” you about understeer, but it actually masks the real road feel. Universal community consensus: Off.
• Centre Spring on in your wheelbase software. F1 25 handles self-centring itself. A software spring fights the game’s own physics and makes the wheel feel synthetic.
• Stacking damping in both layers. Damping in the wheelbase software AND a high in-game Wheel Damper feels like steering through glue. Pick one – the consensus is to do it in the software.
• Mismatched rotation. The F1 25 sweet spot is exactly 360 degrees. If your wheelbase is set to 900 and the in-game rotation is left at default, the steering ratio is all over the place.
• Default Rumble Strip Effects. The default is really too harsh – it rattles the rim. Drop it to around 30 (Fanatec) or 20 (most others).

These are baselines. The right numbers for you depend on your wheel rim weight, how much detail you like versus how much filter you can tolerate, and whether you’re chasing fast lap times or just racing for fun. Start here, race a few sessions, then adjust one setting at a time. The DD wheel settings hub has the interactive Settings Finder if you want to dig deeper across other sims, plus the brand-by-brand explainer for what each Fanalab, Pit House or TrueDrive setting actually does.
