    Hi, I have a Thrustmaster T80 racing wheel, and I'd like to know what a good setup is for it... What each of the buttons do, and how the steering and pedals are set up... Thanks!

    You can go into the game settings, Controls & see there to what function is each button assigned etc.

    Not specifically for your wheel, but I would recommend to use a response curve (in controls/force feedback).
    For me it improved the a lot.To see what the buttons do you can check all set bindings in the controls settings.

    I know where I can see what the buttons do... I would like to know how someone would set it up... And what steering linearity they use and dead zones and stuff like that.

    I use linearity 1 for all pedals with deadzone 0. You can set the upper deadzone for the pedals if you can not reach 100% or dont want to have as much travel.

    For the steering you can either set the angle to what your wheel supports to get the original steering ratio as set for your car, until you get to the very last bit, where you either get no steering or more steering ( e.g. in the bus you have a lot of steering at the end). Or you can set angle to 0 for a linear steering in all positions, however it may not be the ratio as it is displayed in cockpit view.

    For the ffb I always set max force to 10, as there is no point in limiting force on normal wheel. I use 100 strenght, however on a logitech wheel, so it will depend on your wheel what feels best for you. But dont set it too high as there is no benefit to be had from too much force. After that set dampening as low as possible without getting stuttering or similar. You can also use the limit steering at low speeds, it allows you to turn the wheel easier when parking or slow driving. If you already use fairly low force you wont need it. I did not really get into the side accel function (dont really now how its called as I cant see it here on my laptop) and didnt use it until now so I cant really tell how it feels.

    What functions you want on your buttons depends on what you want to do, only thing I can say from my experience is that you should bin reset and rewind to any button on your steering wheel so you dont need your keyboard every time you crash.

    For me, it just sets it as either button6 or button7. May I have some assistance? Thanks
