    I've tweaked the settings to what i think feels the best.

    Racing Wheel Control Panel:

    Wheel Rotation: 1080 degrees
    Overall Strength of Forces: 85%
    Detailed Gain Settings (Constant, Periodic, Spring, Damper) all at default 100%
    Auto-Center Settings: by the game

    Beamng Force-Feedback Settings:

    Strength: 650
    Max Strength: 10
    Slow Smoothing: 150
    Fast Smoothing: 50
    Response Correction Curve: on

    Hope this helps anyone. Any other recommendations would be helpful.

    Thanks for the guide! I've read all of it, but i'm kinda confused. In the Recommended Windows Configuration section overall strength is recommended at 100%, but the Response Curve section recommends keeping the overall strength at default.

    1) Where exactly does it say that?
    2) What is the overall strength default in your steering wheel, if it is not 100%? Is it different than 100%? Is it then 80%, 115% or some other random value...?

    Section 2.2 in the table of contents (Drivers: Force feedback configuration):
    • It is usually best to use 100% overall strength. This usually assures more fidelity in the forces. Don't worry, BeamNG.drive allows to reduce or increase the force from within the game (more on this later on).
    The default overall strength of the Thrustmaster T300rs wheel is at 75%. At the moment, have it set to 75%, as recommended by the response curve section, and set the damper and spring effects to 0% like Section 2.2 recommended.

    Do I use 100% or 75% though for overall strength?

    Ah right, thought you meant in the response curve section, so wasn't able to find it so I could correct it :)

    If you are using the default response curve provided by BeamNG, then you will want to use 100% (and then scale back effects to the desired strength, using in-game settings).

    The thrustmaster drivers 75% default is interesting, it may be a way to prevent injuries when using the full force of their motors, with users who may not expect that much strength. But that's just my guess, I can't really know.
    Now, if you decide to use 75% instead of 100% for whatever reason, then it's advisable you manually generate a new response curve, a new one that is fit for 75% drivers strength (our default curve is fit for 100% drivers strength, not 75%).
