will alleviate those too dark situations or allow you to brighten up the game to your desire.

Upscaling is recommended with RTX cards - DLSS Quality or Auto (this can smooth framerates)

This guide is about Scalability.ini config editing. This allows you to change what each of the individual presets change for the in-game advanced graphics menu.

GTAO is a newer ambient occlusion method that yields some interesting results that you may prefer. No more flashbang main menu?!?!?

All we have to do is add some new lines to Scalability.ini located in \AppData\Local\WRC\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

With a g29, my settings are going to differ vastly from a DD wheel but a belt driven my benefit from the these settings.

I think it is important to define what our goals are with FFB

• Feedback from the attitude of the front wheels (Alignment, slip, ♥♥♥♥, physics forces that would impact the direction or steering input of the vehicle)
  
• Immersion
  
• "Realism"

With this in mind, let's quickly address the settings we are presented with in-game and see if they can be set to help us achieve our goals

• Vibration and Feedback - ON (Of course)
  
  
• Self Aligning Torque - This setting references the state of the front wheels under all physics forces every update of the physics or frame tick, as such this is the most informative and important setting. It will allow you to feel slip, ♥♥♥♥, alignment, and weight transfer. Giving you the information you need to adjust your inputs. Setting this too high may clip your wheels FFB output force so you lose information from what the game is trying to tell you. Too low will lose feeling of minute changes. When you accelerate the wheel should get lighter and when you break it should get heavier. This setting will allow each surface to feel different in the FFB and provide feedback about grip and friction.
  
  
• Wheel Friction - This introduces a Steering Wheel Friction that will give "weight" to trying to quickly whip the wheel about. For a geared wheel like the g29, this only dampens the feedback and input and does not give you any information about the vehicle. Recommended Value = 0 for logitechs
  
  
• Tyre Friction - This settings simulates the tire friction against the surface it is resting on. It only slows input and "weighs" down the steering wheel. Self Aligning Torque already lets you know when you don't have grip or are airborne. Recommended Value = 0 for logitechs. 15 is a nice value for some feel.
  
  
• Suspension - This setting provides FFB depending on the state of the front suspension. It provides immersion, some info about the surface under the front tires, and gives the feeling of fighting the areas of rough surfaces. Recommended Value = 60-100+ for logitechs. The higher the number, the noisier and clankier driving on rough surfaces will be.
  
  
• Tyre Slip - A vibration that provides feedback for when you are losing grip. Fails to provide more information than we get from Self Aligning Torque and SFX of the tires - Recommend Value = 0
  
  
• Engine - Vibration of engine. Providing no new information. Recommended Value = 0
  
  
• Collision - Not necessary and just loud from a logi user's perspective. Recommended Value = 0
  
  
• Steering Center Force - *Correction* Provides more resistance the more you rotate the wheel from center. OFF. It provides no new information. This re-centers the steering wheel after resetting, etc. Set as desired. Thanks @jumanJingus for the correction

A g29 or similar can be a great experience, but don't try to mirror "reality". Instead, focus on being able to acquire all the info the game wants to tell you through FFB about the front wheels and their physics state.

Nothing else really matters through a FFB wheel. You want to be able to snap the wheel around, regain grip when lost, and catch slides. The more friction and the more weight in the wheel, the less one is able to be quick and light with their steering.

Don't let the vehicle control you. Lightening your grip is a great way to adjust and appreciate a lighter FFB value.
