Setting up your wheel properly in F1 25 changes how smooth and precise your driving feels.
The main settings to adjust are calibration and vibration/force feedback because they impact input accuracy and the wheel’s feedback during driving.
How Do I Properly Calibrate My Wheel?
Start by running your wheel’s official calibration software to set a solid baseline.
The in-game calibration settings are mainly to refine the feel, so change them only if the wheel seems wrong.
The game defaults brake saturation at 25%, but lowering it to zero can smooth out braking and allow finer pressure control.
However, when the brakes activate without pressing the pedal, adjust the brake deadzone upward until it stops.
Here’s our recommended calibration setup to start with:
- Steering Rate: 100%
- Steering Deadzone: 0
- Steering Linearity: 0
- Steering Saturation: 0
- Throttle Deadzone: 0
- Throttle Linearity: 0
- Throttle Saturation: 0
- Brake Deadzone: 6
- Brake Linearity: 0
- Brake Saturation: 0
How Should I Adjust Force Feedback Settings?
You should adjust force feedback settings to balance detailed road feel with comfortable resistance, usually by keeping strength moderate and smoothing out harsh vibrations.
Driving wheels feel immersive thanks to force feedback, which physically relays how the car moves, the road surface, and traction to your hands.
Setting these correctly improves how you feel the car, which matters for fast and steady lap times.
Here’s our recommended vibration and force feedback setup to start with:
- Vibration & Force Feedback: On
- Vibration & Force Feedback Strength: 60
- On Track Effects: 15
- Rumble Strip Effects: 10
- Off-Track Effects: 10
- Pit Stop Effects: 0
- Wheel Damper: 10
- Maximum Wheel Rotation: 310
When you pair these tweaks with practice, driving F1 25 on your wheel becomes smoother and quicker, allowing you to cut lap times without struggling with the controls.
