ECCI setup :)

[Bob Dunlop]

Several users of ECCI controls have contacted us and expressed having some difficulties getting the wheel optimally set up in iRacing. We have tested extensively in the past week and we make available the following guidelines.

EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

Steering hardware: CDS4000, Trackstar 6000, or 6000MT equipped with FLDS. USB HD Ultra interface is mandatory.

Pedals: Trackstar 6000 with Stage 2 Race Brake kit is optimal and Stage 1 Race brake is nearly as good. Any Trackstar 6000 with PMB2 or CDS4000 with PMB will provide good performance.

Note that a Stage 2 or Stage 1 Race Brake requires both the pedals and driving seat to be firmly secured. Maximum pedal pressures with these run in the 140 pound (63kg) range vs 40 pounds.

SETUP REQUIREMENTS

iRacing setup requirements for standard 240 degree (non-MT) steering units:

1. Steering unit steering limiters set to maximum mechanical travel (240 degrees).
2. iRacing Controller Options steering lock to lock range set to 360 degrees.

STEERING CALIBRATION

For standard 240 degree steering units – steps must be followed exactly:

1. First screen: Move wheel as prompted all the way from lock to lock, click “Done”.
2. Second screen: Depart from prompted procedure and turn the wheel all the way to left lock (screen should now show 180 degrees), back off very slightly until screen shows 182 degrees, click “Done”.
3. Third screen: Do as prompted and let the wheel go back to center, click “Done”.

Following these recommendations will result in a highly competitive ECCI setup. Any deviations from them are not recommended, although experimentation by experienced and knowledgeable drivers can be performed with the understanding of what the consequences could be (in other words don’t experiment in a race setting, and take the time to anticipate what the effects of any changes might be before making them).

Thanks for this, it was very beneficial.
