ETS2 – MOZA R9 Force Feedback Settings (Pit House & In-Game)

This guide focuses on a stable and realistic truck steering feel: heavy but controlled around center, clear road feedback without harsh spikes, and minimal risk of oscillation. These values are an excellent baseline for most trucks in ETS2.

Core principle: Let ETS2 handle the actual force feedback effects and keep all MOZA Game Force Effects set to 0%. This results in cleaner, more predictable feedback.
These recommendations are optimized for the MOZA R9 (9 Nm) with a 900° steering angle.

Steering Angle

  • Maximum Steering Angle

    900°
    Standard for trucks in ETS2. Provides calm and realistic steering ratio.
  • Maximum limit / steering angle synchronization

    ON
    Synchronizes wheel rotation with the in-game steering lock. Prevents mismatched steering angles.

Soft Limit

  • Soft limit stiffness

    Soft (Level 1)
    How firm the soft stop feels at the steering limit. Soft is ideal for long-haul driving.
  • Soft limit strength

    Soft
    Overall strength of the soft stop. Prevents harsh impacts when reaching steering lock.
  • Soft limit game force strength

    ON
    Allows game forces to contribute to the soft stop, resulting in a more natural steering limit.

Handling Feel

  • Game Force Feedback intensity

    100 %
    Limits the wheelbase’s maximum physical force. 75% is a safe sweet spot; 80% adds extra weight.
  • Maximum Output Torque Limit

    75–80 % (≈ 6.8–7.2 Nm)
    Limits the wheelbase’s maximum physical force. 75% is a safe sweet spot; 80% adds extra weight.
  • Force Feedback Reversal

    ON
    Allows game forces to contribute to the soft stop, resulting in a more natural steering limit.
  • Force Feedback Interpolation

    Signal smoothing. Keep at 0 for maximum detail and minimal latency.
  • FFB Center Deadzone Compensation

    0 %
    Boosts forces around center for wheels with deadzones. Not needed on direct drive bases.
  • Maximum Wheel Speed

    35–40 %
    Maximum update rate and responsiveness. Recommended for direct drive bases.
  • Hands-Off Protection

    OFF
    OFF means that Steering Wheel Inertia can't be adjusted.
  • Performance Output

    Full
    Maximum update rate and responsiveness. Recommended for direct drive bases.

Base Force Effects

  • Natural Damping

    15–25 %
    Adds low-speed steering weight. Excellent for city driving and roundabouts.
  • Natural Friction

    10–12 %
    Adds low-speed steering weight. Excellent for city driving and roundabouts.
  • Natural Inertia

    40–60 %
    Adds low-speed steering weight. Excellent for city driving and roundabouts.
  • Wheel Spring Strength

    0 %
    Artificial centering spring. Disable to avoid rubber-band steering.
  • Speed-dependent Damping

    0 %
    Adds damping based on speed. ETS2 already handles this internally.
  • Start Point of Speed-dependent Damping

    0 km/h
    Starting speed for speed-dependent damping. Irrelevant when damping is set to 0%.

Game Force Effects

  • Game Spring

    0 %
    Disable to prevent double centering effects.
  • Game Damping

    0 %
    Disable to preserve steering detail.
  • Game Inertia

    0 %
    Avoid artificial inertia from the base.
  • Game Friction

    0 %
    Use Natural Friction instead for finer control.

In-Game

Final Tuning Tips

  • Always fine-tune with a heavy load (20–25 tons).
  • If the wheel oscillates around center, increase Natural Damping slightly.
  • If steering feels sluggish, reduce Natural Inertia.
  • For more road detail, increase Terrain and Bumps – not Overall Gain.
  • Create separate MOZA profiles for city driving and highway cruising if desired.

In-Game Settings

Force Feedback
ON
Enables force feedback in ETS2.
Overall Gain
70–80 % (Start at 75 %)
Main FFB strength control.
Centering at Low Speed
0–5 %
Keep low to avoid rubber-band feel in cities.
Centering at High Speed
10–15 %
Adds stability at highway speeds.
Internal Friction
0 %
Handled better by MOZA Natural Friction.
Internal Damping
0–5 %
Only increase if oscillation persists.
Truck Feedback
100 %
Main steering force from the truck.
Terrain Feedback
20–30 %
Road surface detail.
Bumps Feedback
20–25 %
Road bumps and uneven surfaces.
Engine Resonance
5–10 % (Optional)
Immersion only – keep subtle.
Collision Feedback
20 %
Avoid excessive impact force on DD wheels.
