Update: October 25, 2025
Even though iracing has an outdated engine, setting up VR correctly can be quite a challenge. The goal is to achieve 90 fps in almost all situations. OpenXR settings are the same as those used in Le Mans Ultimate and can be found here.

Force feedback
Force feedback settings are highly subjective. These are my settings for the CSL DD 8Nm (Fanalab).
