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
ONSynchronizes 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
SoftOverall strength of the soft stop. Prevents harsh impacts when reaching steering lock.Soft limit game force strength
ONAllows 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
ONAllows 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
OFFOFF means that Steering Wheel Inertia can't be adjusted.Performance Output
FullMaximum 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/hStarting 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.
