Please help!

I've just got myself a Thrustmaster TX Ferrari 458 and I had a quick blast on Project Cars last night. It was quite an eye opener! I noticed that there are hundreds of settings I can adjust, are the default ones the best or can anyone recommend some better ones? Also interested in Forza 6 too but I haven't tried that game yet!

Please keep things as simple as possible, this is my first taste of using a wheel outside of an arcade!

Not sure about individual settings but deadzone needs to be zero or 5% IMO and for some reason simulation steering doesnt work with the wheel on Forza 6. Counter intuitive but thats the way it is.

It transforms the games though - once you get the hang of it you will never look back.

Sorry to bump this but I'm really puzzled. I have tried my Thrustmaster TX on Project Cars and Forza 6 and I just cant get Project Cars to feel right. I have tried numerous settings that I've found online but the force feedback doesnt seem to relate to what the car is doing.

When I play Forza 6 on default settings,it just feels better. The wheel reacts how I'd imagine it would in real life and you can feel when the car is losing grip. It doesnt try to rip your arms out of their sockets either.

I'd be really grateful for some Project Cars setup advice because at the moment I'm struggling a bit.
