Model notes

  • Belt-driven Fanatec: in-game values close to a T300, device settings via the Tuning Menu.
  • This is the safe all-rounder for GT and touring cars.
  • Raise Gain only if the FFB meter is not clipping.

Every setting in Fanatec Tuning Menu

What each setting does, its range and what we set for AMS2. Anything without a value, leave at default.
