Moza entered the sim racing market only in 2021 and has already established itself as one of the respectable brands in the industry. Known for delivering high-quality and competitively priced hardware, Moza’s product range caters to the full spectrum of sim racers.
Moza also offers an ecosystem of sim racing peripherals, including pedals, steering wheels, shifters, handbrakes and dashboards.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the optimal settings for using your Moza direct drive wheelbase with Le Mans Ultimate (LMU).
About Moza Wheelbases
Currently, MOZA offers 6 direct drive wheelbases. Soon, to be many more. The number after the “R” indicates the torque output in Newton metres (Nm), which relates to the level of force feedback you’ll experience while racing. This can all be tuned via MOZA’s PC and mobile apps.
Entry-level
- R3 (3 Nm) comes bundled with a wheel, pedals and desk mount. It’s compatible with PC and Xbox, and is ideal for beginners due to its low torque and price
- R5 (5 Nm) is also a bundle-only and PC-only wheelbase
Mid-range
- R9 (9 Nm) and R12 (12 Nm) offer significantly better feedback. The R12 is the sweet spot for most sim racers – powerful enough for immersion, but not so intense that you feel like you’re wrestling the wheel
High-end
- R16 (16 Nm) and R21 (21 Nm) are for professional or highly experienced sim racers. These deliver top-tier accuracy and force feedback
Before working on settings, ensure that your Moza wheelbase and any peripherals are connected to your PC and you have the correct software and drivers installed via Moza Pit House.

Setting Up Your Moza Wheelbase in Le Mans Ultimate
These settings are located in Settings > Controls > Wheel & Pedals menu after you load a race session.
Recommended Calibrate settings:
| Settings | Value |
| Use the Steering Wheel Range from the Vehicle | On |
| Use the Steering Wheel Maximum Rotation from the Driver | On |
Recommended Force Feedback settings:
| Settings | Value |
| Force Feedback Effects | On |
| Invert Force Feedback | Off |
| Force Feedback Strength | 85-90% (to avoid clipping on low-torque wheelbases) |
| Force Feedback Smoothing | 0 |
| Minimum Steering Torque | 0% |
| Collision Strength | 100% |
| Steering Torque Sensitivity | 100-150% (higher value if you want more feedback at lower speeds) |
| Use Constant Steering Force Effect | Off |
Moza Software Settings for Le Mans Ultimate
MOZA’s customisation app, MOZA Pit House, allows full tuning of your hardware – from force feedback strength and frequency to LED rev light colours, steering rotation, pedal stroke and more.
In the “Game Launcher” of Pit House, find LMU and hit the configure button. All settings below are for Pit House v1.3.2.
Recommended basic settings:
| Settings | Value | Comments |
| Maximum Limit and Steering Angle | 900 | The Maximum Limit determines how far the wheel can physically rotate, while the Steering Angle is the value output to the game. There is no need to decouple the Maximum Limit and the Steering Angle for LMU. |
| Synchronous | Yes | |
| Soft Limit Strength | 5 | Determines the bumpstop feel at the maximum rotation of the steering wheel. Medium settings give noticeable, but not aggressive, end-stop feedback. |
| Soft Limit Stiffness | Medium | |
| Soft Limit Game Force Strength | On | |
| Game Force Feedback Intensity | 100% | Acts as a multiplier on top of the in-game force feedback setting. The recommended approach is to set the game’s FFB without clipping and leave this setting at 100%. |
| Maximum Output Torque Limit | 100% | A safety cap on total output force. Unlike lowering force feedback intensity, this simply places a ceiling on peak torque while maintaining detail. |
| Force Feedback Reversal | Off | Only needed in rare cases where the FFB direction is inverted in-game. Generally, it should be turned off. |
| Hands-Off Protection | Off | Detects when your hands aren’t on the wheel and suppresses oscillations. Helpful only if you ever need to let go of the wheel mid-drive. |
| Maximum Wheel Speed | 10% | Determines how quickly the wheel reacts to inputs and recenters. High values are better for drifting, and low values feel more realistic for circuit racing. |
Recommended advanced settings (basically, turn everything off and let LMU do the work):
| Settings | Value | Comments |
| Force Feedback Interpolation | 0 | Designed to allow low-Nm wheelbases to support higher FFB signal frequencies. Not needed for LMU. |
| Natural Damping | 0 | Disabling this provides a raw and direct force feedback signal from the game. |
| Natural Friction | 0 | Setting this to 100 adds some weight and resistance for R3 and R5 wheelbases. Not needed for higher-Nm wheelbases. |
| Natural Inertia | 0 | This setting can distort the natural feel of FFB by introducing odd delays or lag. |
| Wheel Spring Strength | 0 | Adds artificial centring force. Not needed for LMU. |
| DirectInput Effect Tuning | 0 for all sliders | Sets how the wheelbase responds to forces from the game. LMU FFB is fine with no tuning. |
Recommended other settings:
| Settings | Value | Comments |
| FFB Effect Equaliser | Sensitivity Setting 8-9 | Filters out high-frequency noise (such as curb vibration or road texture) and retains essential details about tyres. |
| Base FFB Curve | Linear | It should be linear to maintain a 1:1 response ratio. |
Additional Tips
These settings are designed to provide a well-balanced and immersive force feedback experience. You may need to reduce Force Feedback Strength in LMU if you experience FFB clipping, and increase Force Feedback Smoothing to soften the impact of curbs on FFB and smooth the FFB overall. It depends on your preferences and specific wheelbase.
