Let me know if you have any comments or questions. If you have a VR headset, you may be interested to know that F1 2012 works surprisingly well in VR using VorpX.
Once you set these proper values, however, the game becomes a lot of fun to play. The steering angle is way too large and the force feedback is far too heavy, giving a really bad first impression. If you try to play with the default settings, the game is impossible to play. Wheel Weight is a damper force that simply makes the wheel heavier. In Options > Driving Controls > Force Feedback Options: SettingĮnvironmental Effects is the vibrations you feel from kerbs and the road surface.įeedback Strength is the main force you feel in the wheel. 0% uses the full range of the wheel or pedals. The Saturation values are inverted from you might expect. In Options > Driving Controls > Advanced Wheel Settings: Setting Until you set these values, the game won't use the wheel to navigate the menus. I had to create a new profile to get full wheel support. You can drive just fine, but not navigate the menus. I had trouble trying to get an existing profile to work fully with the wheel.
For an in-depth look as to why, see my BOOST Force Feedback Analysis. As a general rule, I leave these at 100% since there are some games that require them.īOOST should always be turned off. Spring and Damper are not used by F1 2012, so can be set to any value without issue.
I don't like having to do this as I often forget to set it back to normal, but there is no other option. There is no Soft Lock in the game, so to get a proper steering angle, it is best to set the rotation in the Thrustmaster Control Panel. This greatly improves the force feedback on these wheels. These match the settings used by the T500, which is the closest match to these wheels that existed at the time. Jump To: Device Action Map Files | Thrustmaster Settings | F1 2012 Settings In this guide, I will show you how to edit the necessary files to support these wheels, then look at the best settings to use for the force feedback in-game. Importantly, this does not prevent the game from saving your progress, as is common in other titles when you start editing their internal files. With a little text file editing, you can add native support for these wheels, including full menu navigation and improved force feedback, making the experience even better. Using the in-game control settings, you are still able to bind the steering, pedals and buttons to actions in the game, but you will still need the keyboard to navigate through all the menus. Best F1 2012 Settings for Thrustmaster TX / T300 J| Filed under: Thrustmasterį1 2012 plays very well with a wheel, but being an older title, it doesn't natively support newer wheels like the Thrustmaster TX and T300.
