    Hello fellow drivers and sim enthusiasts!

    After way too many hours of tuning, testing and retuning... I wanted to share what I think is a pretty acceptable profile for anyone else using the same wheel/ pedals as I am. I have a Fanatec CSL Elite wheelbase with CSL LC pedals, running the most up to date driver (as of this post). I am running BeamNG.Drive v25.5 (also of this post) and have tried multiple driving styles across different vehicle setups (including some mods). This will probably be very hyper-specific, but without further monologue, here are my settings.

    Wheelbase Settings:
    SEN: 1080
    FFB: 75
    DRI: -2
    FEI: 60
    FOR: 70
    SPR: 20
    DPR: 30

    Game Settings:
    Wheel (xaxis)
    Filter: Wheel (direct)
    1:1 steering angle: 1080
    1:1 behavior: Faster if needed
    [graph]
    Linearity: 1
    Deadzone (rest): 0.01 <- This is needed to keep wheel from jittering/ oscillating)
    Deadzone (end): 0.01
    Fore Feedback Configuration
    Enabled: CHECK
    Inverted: CHECK
    Strength: 750
    Smoothing: 125
    Soft lock force 95%
    Reduce strength while parked: CHECK
    Side Accel Feedback: 0%
    Update rate limit: Automatic
    Update type: Fast (default)
    Use Response Correction Curve: CHECK(*)
    (*) Please refer to the WIKI/ Documentation section in reference to creating a correction curve for YOUR wheel. I used the iRacing WheelCheck.exe to generate my correction data. I recommend completing at least 3 tests and averaging the results of each for best result.

    Game Settings:
    Accelerator/ Brake/ Clutch/ Hand Brake
    Throttle
    Filter: Wheel (direct)
    Linearity: 1
    Deadzone (rest): 0.01
    Deadzone (end): 0.02
    Brake
    Filter: Wheel (direct)
    Linearity: 1
    Deadzone (rest): 0.02
    Deadzone (end): 0.03 <- This is to ensure the game reads 100% from the loadcell at max travel/ force)
    Clutch
    Filter: Wheel (direct)
    Linearity: 0.25 <- This helps with the non linear action of a real life clutch
    Deadzone (rest): 0
    Deadzone (end): 0
    Parking Brake (temporary) <- IF you have an accessory handbrake to use
    Filter: Wheel (direct)
    Linearity: 1
    Deadzone (rest): 0.1
    Deadzone (end): 0.05

    I hope this helps anyone who is struggling to get their Fanatec Wheels to play nice. Moderators, Please PM if I posted this in the wrong place.

    After a long search i came across your settings and tried them out instantly, but i gotta say for me they feel a bit weird :/
    Especially on off-road or during crashes the wheel goes insane, not really sure why..

    This is by all means not a perfect tune... But it was the closest I could get to feeling good enough for the hardware I've got. I primarily focused on driving on paved/ dirt roads, not extreme off-road trails or crashes. I'm sure messing with the overall gain/ filter will help your particular dynamics.
