GT7 Wheel Settings: Fanatec, Logitech, Thrustmaster

I’m a sim racer and amateur racer with a passion for Motorsport, good racecraft and the technical and setup aspect of sim racing.

GT7’s FFB engine has just two in-game sliders: Force Feedback Maximum Torque (1-10) and Force Feedback Sensitivity (1-10). The community consensus that’s stabilised in 2026: keep Sensitivity at 1 on any direct drive base (higher values trigger a long-standing GT7 quirk where high-downforce cars get violent straight-line oscillation), and set Max Torque to match your base’s real Nm rating divided by roughly 2. PS5-only game, so only PlayStation-licensed wheels work: Fanatec GT DD Pro / CSL DD (PS) / ClubSport DD+ (PS), Logitech G29/G923/G PRO PS, Thrustmaster T300 RS GT / T-GT II / T818 PS.

How GT7 force feedback works

Polyphony Digital’s FFB system is deliberately simple. Two sliders: Force Feedback Maximum Torque (overall strength, 1-10) and Force Feedback Sensitivity (detail and centre-spring behaviour, 1-10). That’s it. There’s a separate Controller Vibration slider in the main pause menu that controls Logitech’s TrueForce engine and chassis haptics, but the steering FFB itself is two numbers.

The key call that’s settled across the community: keep Sensitivity at 1 on direct drive bases. Pushing Sensitivity above 2-3 on a DD triggers a long-standing GT7 quirk where high-downforce cars (Gr.1, F1500T, the X cars) develop violent straight-line oscillation. Logitech’s own engineers and Fanatec’s official forum both confirm this. Belt and gear wheels (G29, G923, T300) can push Sensitivity to 2-4 without the problem because the mechanical damping in those motors absorbs the oscillation.

For the wider picture see the direct drive wheel settings hub. The PS5-specific wheel buying picture is in our PS5 steering wheels guide.

Fanatec settings for GT7

Fanatec is Polyphony’s preferred GT7 partner – the GT DD Pro is the official PlayStation-licensed base. Recent firmware (v455+) added a dedicated Auto Setup that handshakes with GT7 and pulls optimised values directly. Use it. If you prefer manual control, the values below are the community baseline.

Setting	GT DD Pro 5/8Nm	CSL DD (PS-licensed)	ClubSport DD+ PS (15Nm)
SEN	Auto	Auto	Auto
FF	100	100	100
FFS	Peak	Peak	Linear
NDP	50	50	50
NFR / NIN	Off	Off	Off
INT	2	2	2
FEI	100	100	100

In-game GT7 (Fanatec):

GT DD Pro 5Nm: Max Torque 5, Sensitivity 1.
GT DD Pro 8Nm: Max Torque 5-7, Sensitivity 1.
CSL DD (PS): Max Torque 5-7, Sensitivity 1.
ClubSport DD+ PS (15Nm): Max Torque 3-5, Sensitivity 1-2 (above this the 15Nm holding torque becomes punishing).

The strong recommendation from Fanatec’s official forum is to use the Auto Setup (A SET) profile – it pulls optimised SEN, FF, NDP and NFR directly from GT7’s telemetry handshake. Manual values above are the fallback if Auto Setup isn’t available on your firmware version.

Logitech settings for GT7

Logitech on GT7: the G PRO Racing Wheel for PlayStation is the standout DD option. Sensitivity at 1 is non-negotiable – Logitech’s own engineers explicitly warn against going higher to avoid the high-downforce death-wobble. TrueForce engine/RPM rumble routes through GT7’s Controller Vibration slider (main pause menu, not driving), not the in-game FFB sliders.

Setting	G29 / G923	G PRO Racing Wheel PS (11Nm)
Operating Range	900°	Auto / 1080° (GT7 overrides)
Strength / Torque	n/a	11.0 Nm
TF Audio	n/a (G923 only)	40-50
FFB Filter	n/a	8
Dampener	n/a	10-15
Centring Spring	Off (G HUB)	n/a

In-game GT7 (Logitech):

G29 / G923: Max Torque 4-5, Sensitivity 2-4 (the gear damping absorbs the high-Sensitivity oscillation).
G PRO Racing Wheel PS: Max Torque 4-6, Sensitivity 1 only. Controller Vibration (TrueForce) 35-80 – 100 is painfully loud.

Sources: r/LogitechG, r/granturismo. Logitech’s LOGIRich account actively recommends Sensitivity 1 on the G PRO for GT7.

Thrustmaster settings for GT7

Thrustmaster has the most options of any brand for GT7. The T300 RS GT is the entry-level belt wheel (notorious thermal-fade trap in GT7 – cap Max Torque at 3-4 or the motor cuts FFB to zero within 15 minutes). The T-GT II is the flagship PS belt-drive with better cooling and T-DFB transducer effects. The T818 DD is the high-end option – put it in Comfort mode in the TM Control Panel to smooth GT7’s harsh built-in understeer vibration.

Setting	T300 RS GT	T-GT II	T818 PS (10Nm DD)
Overall Strength	100% (TM Panel)	100%	100%
Constant / Periodic	100%	100%	100%
Spring / Damper	100%	100%	100%
Mode	Sport	Sport	Comfort

In-game GT7 (Thrustmaster):

T300 RS GT: Max Torque 3-4 (cap to prevent thermal fade), Sensitivity 1-2.
T-GT II: Max Torque 5-6, Sensitivity 1-3.
T818 PS: Max Torque 4-6, Sensitivity 1-2.

The Comfort-mode call for the T818 in GT7 specifically is worth highlighting – it’s the opposite of what you’d run on PC sims. GT7’s built-in understeer vibration is significantly more aggressive than other sims and feels harsh on a Thrustmaster DD without Comfort mode’s smoothing.

Moza, Simagic and Simucube on GT7

Honest reality check: Moza, Simagic and Simucube are not officially PS5-compatible as of 2026. There’s no Sony PlayStation licensing handshake for those bases, so they won’t work on GT7 natively. Some users route them through third-party adapters (Drivehub, Cronus Max), but the experience is patchy – GT7 doesn’t recognise the wheel ID and the FFB feels disconnected from the in-game sliders. If GT7 is your primary sim, the realistic options are Fanatec, Logitech or Thrustmaster.

Common mistakes in GT7 wheel settings

Sensitivity at 5+ on a direct drive base. Triggers the high-downforce death-wobble on Gr.1 and F1500T cars. Keep at 1.
T300 RS GT at Max Torque 6+. Thermal fade in 15 minutes – GT7 specifically kills the FFB output. Cap at 3-4.
T818 in Performance/Extreme mode on GT7. GT7’s built-in understeer vibration is harsh. Use Comfort mode.
Trying to use a Moza, Simagic or Simucube base on GT7. Sony doesn’t license those wheels. Use Fanatec, Logitech or Thrustmaster.
Cranking Controller Vibration to 100 on the G PRO. Painfully loud. 35-80 is the comfortable range.
Not using Fanatec Auto Setup. If your firmware is v455+, the dedicated GT7 Auto Setup pulls optimised values automatically. Use it.

GT7 is two sliders. Once Sensitivity is at 1 on any DD base and Max Torque matches your base’s real Nm divided by roughly 2, the FFB tunes itself. If you’re thinking about which PS5 wheel to actually buy, the PS5 steering wheels guide covers every option. And the wider FFB picture is in the DD wheel settings hub.
