Sim Racing FFB Clipping Calculator

Enter your wheelbase specs and desired feel to get exact, per-simulator FFB settings — including dual settings for ACC, unique Nm-based iRacing config, and per-car multiplier guidance for rF2/LMU.

Wheelbase Preset

Select your wheelbase to auto-fill values, or choose Custom to enter manually.

Wheelbase Hardware Limits

Nm
The absolute maximum torque your wheelbase can physically output. Any signal exceeding this is clipped and results in distorted, flat feedback.

Desired Feel Intensity

Nm
How strong should the heaviest forces (kerbs, heavy understeer, oversteer) feel at the wheel? Keep below peak to leave headroom for sudden spikes.
Clipping Headroom
--%
-- Nm headroom before clipping
✓ No Clipping Risk

Fine-Tuning Your Settings

These are calculated starting points — not final values. Every wheelbase, mounting solution, and driver preference is different. To dial in the perfect feel for your personal setup:

  1. Apply the recommended values from the sim card above as your starting point.
  2. Drive a few laps on a track you know well — focus on heavy braking zones and fast corners where forces peak.
  3. Gradually increase the main gain/force setting in small steps (~5%) until you start feeling flat spots or a "wall" of force in heavy corners — that's clipping.
  4. Back off ~5% from the point where you first noticed clipping. This is your personal sweet spot — maximum detail without distortion.

💡 Repeat this process for each sim individually — they all handle force signals differently.
