Best Difficulty Settings in Forza Horizon 6

Here’s the deal: I know there are a lot of steering wheels and brands that make them. You got Logitech, Thrustmaster, Fanatec, Moza, and others. I will do my best to provide the best settings that will make it easier to drive cars in the game, regardless of your wheel. However, wheels have different parameters, and some of them are hard to ignore. I will make a note or provide a suitable range of options to accommodate as many different setups as possible. Also, I’m not going to be covering the steering wheel apps and their settings. Just the in-game settings.

Let’s start with the difficulty tab. This is the one where you turn on or off all kinds of driving assistance.

Setting	Recommended Value
Drivatar Difficulty	Above Average
Driving Assists Preset	Custom
Braking	Anti-Lock On
Steering	Simulation
Traction Control	Off
Stability Control	Off
Shifting	Manual w/ Clutch
Driving Line	Full
Damage & Tyre Wear	None
Rewind	On
Launch Control	On

The idea behind choosing these is removing all kinds of artificial helpers that make driving feel “unrealistic”. You’re already using a steering wheel, probably have a shifter and some pedals, so you want to have as much control as possible. So, for steering, always go with Simulation as this is the one that lets you take control of the car completely.

ABS should stay on for most players. A lot of wheel users have basic pedals, and even stronger pedal sets can feel inconsistent until you tune them properly. Anti-Lock braking makes the car easier to slow down without turning every corner into a brake-locking test.

Traction Control and Stability Control are better turned off. These are the artificial assists that I’ve talked about. They can make the car feel strange on a wheel because they correct the throttle and rotation. With both off, you’ll have a much easier time turning and sliding. Having more throttle control matters more, and drifting becomes much easier.

Shifting depends on your hardware. Manual with Clutch is the best option for a full wheel setup with clutch pedals and a shifter. The manual is for paddle users. Automatic is fine for casual driving or drifting, but it gives less control in proper races.

Driving Line, Rewind, Damage, and Launch Control are comfort settings. They do not define force feedback, but they make wheel testing much less annoying.

Best Advanced Controls in Forza Horizon 6

In here, you’re going to want to mostly stick to the default values. If you change all of these at the same time, you’re going to basically break the handling and your driving experience. I’m trying to say that, if you really want to find and tune the settings for your wheel, do so by changing one setting at a time, or do it in pairs.

Setting	Best Universal Value
Vibration	On
Invert Vertical Look	Off
Steering Axis Deadzone Inside	0
Steering Axis Deadzone Outside	100
Steering Linearity	25
Acceleration Axis Deadzone Inside	0
Acceleration Axis Deadzone Outside	100
Deceleration Axis Deadzone Inside	0
Deceleration Axis Deadzone Outside	100
Clutch Axis Deadzone Inside	15
Clutch Axis Deadzone Outside	90
E-Brake Axis Deadzone Inside	10
E-Brake Axis Deadzone Outside	100
Vibration Scale	0.5
Force Feedback Scale	0.8
Center Spring Scale	0.8
Wheel Damper Scale	0.5
Mechanical Trail Scale	0.9
Force Feedback Minimum Force	0.9
Force Feedback Load Sensitivity	1.0
Road Feel Scale	0.8
Off-Road Feel Scale	0.4
Steering Rotation	720
Steering Lock Multiplier	1.00
Steering Speed Sensitivity	1.00

For gear-driven wheels, use a little more help from the game. These wheels usually have weaker force feedback and less detail, so they can feel loose with low spring, damper, and trail values. Raise Center Spring Scale toward 0.8-1.0, Wheel Damper Scale toward 0.2 to 0.5, and Mechanical Trail Scale toward 1.0 to 1.3. If you go higher than 1.0 on the Center Spring Scale, it’s going to cancel the FFB, which will basically create a “lag” effect or a delay. Which is not the same as the tire feedback you want. On wheels like Logitech G920 and G29, which are all gear-driven, setting the Damper Scale too high is pointless, because the gears in the wheel already create that mechanical resistance you want to feel when driving. No need to add artificial resistance through this setting, although it's more of a preference thing. Keep Steering Rotation around 720 for racing, because 900 degrees can feel slow on weaker wheels.

For belt-driven wheels, stay close to the universal preset. These wheels usually feel smoother than gear-driven models, but they still do not have the raw torque of direct-drive wheels. Center Spring around 0.7 to 1.0, Wheel Damper around 0.4 to 0.8, and Mechanical Trail around 0.9 to 1.1 should feel balanced. Use 720 for faster racing control or 900 for a smoother road-car feel.

For entry-level direct-drive wheels, lower the artificial weight a little. These wheels already give cleaner feedback, so too much spring or damper can make the steering feel slow. Try Center Spring Scale around 0.4 to 0.8, Wheel Damper Scale around 0.2 to 0.5, and Mechanical Trail around 0.7 to 1.0. Steering Rotation can stay between 720 and 900, depending on how quickly you want the car to react.

For high-torque direct-drive wheels, reduce the spring and damper. Strong DD bases can feel heavy very quickly, and too much in-game force can hide the tire feedback. Try Force Feedback Scale around 0.5 to 0.7, Center Spring Scale around 0.0 to 0.4, and Wheel Damper Scale around 0.0 to 0.3.

I’ve read on OverTake.gg that having a high Force Feedback setting value caused the wheel to snap and rotate uncontrollably, which can inflict an injury, especially if you’re using expensive wheels with heavy and solid components, not the cheap and light plastic counterparts.

Mechanical Trail around 0.5 to 0.9 usually works better than very high values. Steering Rotation between 720 and 900 is the safest range, while 540 is better saved for drifting or advanced players.

 

 

Best Wheel App Settings

Now, most wheels come with their own software that allows you to customize how steering works in all games. I’ve included some app settings for the most popular brands. I don’t recommend changing them at all, but if you want to try different options, at least make a separate settings profile, so you can always switch to the default whenever you want.

Fanatec Podium DD

App / Hardware Setting	Value
Fanatec SEN / rotation	540°
Compatibility mode	Yellow compatibility mode to enable force feedback in the game
Force effect / intensity / strength	0
FullForce	Not important

 

Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel

G HUB Setting	Road Racing	Drifting
Rotation	900°	540°
Dampener	22	22
Force Feedback Strength	9 Nm	2 Nm
Force Feedback Filter	12	6
TrueForce	15	15

 

Logitech G29 / PlayStation G923

G HUB Setting	Road Racing	Drifting
Sensitivity	50	Not changed / likely 50
Operating Range	720°	540°
Centering Spring	Off	Off

On these wheels, the Force Feedback may feel lighter on the same setting compared to Forza Horizon 5. This is the only case where you might want to exceed the suggested Force Feedback value to really feel it in the game. Set it at least to 1.20-1.3 to make it work as intended.

 

 

MOZA R25

MOZA Pit House Setting	Values
Wheel Base Strength	30%
Wheel Rotation	800°
Suggested rotation range	720° to 900°
Firmware / software version	Latest Pit House, around 1.3.9
Device order	MOZA must be device #1
mBooster pedal resistance	Easier to reach 100%

All in all, for app settings, the only universal value is 540° rotation for drifting. For racing, you can go from 720° to 900°, with 800° looking like a middle ground for direct-drive wheels. Logitech G Pro has the most detailed app settings, while Fanatec and MOZA offer more options for rotation, strength, and compatibility.
