Expeditions: A MudRunner Game – How to Make Better Force Feedback Settings

The default Force Feedback settings are a little whack, let’s make them better.

Guide to Increase Force Feedback Settings

Disclaimer

I own a Logitech G29. These settings should work for all Logitech devices. If you use Thrustmaster or something else, the FFB settings should still apply but please common-sense experiment with your software/drivers for your device as needed. Also your “Device Type” settings may not be “Direct” as this guide recommends.

What Stuff Does

Wheel Presets

Selects the preset button bindings for each wheel. You can also choose Custom and create your own.

Wheel Sensitivity

Lets you change the steering linearity. 1.00 is linear steering.

Force Feedback

Is the overall strength of the force feedback.

Tilt Gain

Will make the force feedback react to how tilted the truck is. Setting this too high exaggerates the effect to a point where the wheel feels very odd.

Friction Base Level

Is the constant low level of friction in the wheel at all times. Setting this to 0 will make the wheel have no weight when you are driving on normal roads. Setting this too high will make the wheel heavy all the time.

Friction Gain

Is the maximum amount of friction that will be added to the wheel. Setting this too high will make the wheel very heavy much of the time.

Spring Gain

Makes the wheel want to pull back to the center. Setting this too high will make the wheel very heavy when turning. This is not tied to “Springs” as in “Shocks/Suspension”.

Collision Gain

Is the force when you hit something. This isn’t very strong, so can be set at the maximum without a problem.

Vibrotactile Force Gain

Is only used by the Logitech G923 for its TrueForce feature. It has no effect on any other wheel.

Recommended Ghub Settings

If you use Logitech (or want to try with other):

I recommend you make a profile to the game’s path:

• [DRIVE]:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Expeditions A MudRunner Game\Sources\Bin\Expeditions.exe

• Setting / Value

• Sensitivity / 50
• Centering Spring / Off

Recommended Feedback Settings

• Wheel Presets / G29 or G920 (or whatever you own and are testing this guide with)
• Wheel Sensitivity / 1.00
• Force Feedback / 0.90
• Tilt Gain / 0.30
• Friction Base Level / 0.28
• Friction Gain / 0.70
• Spring Gain / 0.30
• Collision Gain / 1.00
• Vibrotactile Force Gain / 0.00 (this setting only matters if you have a Logitech G923)

Options -> Settings -> Game

Help My Wheel Isn’t Working at All Period

• Make sure under “Steering Wheel Type”.
• You set to “Direct Input” — if this does not work try “Legacy”.
• Help my G29/G920 has no ffb and ultra-hard centers everything.

Let me save you several days:

Help I Keep Auto Reversing/Etc

Settings -> Wheel

Try toggling “Invert Brake” and/or “Invert Throttle” as needed. If you have “Paired Pedals” set to ON try turning it OFF.
