MOZA Pit House Force Feedback (FFB) Tuning Guide for iRacing & MoreUpdated 9 months ago

If you're diving into the world of MOZA Racing and feeling a little overwhelmed by the sea of sliders and settings in the Pit House software, you're not alone. This guide breaks down everything you need to get your force feedback dialed in for iRacing and other sims using MOZA’s ecosystem (R5, R9, R12, R16, R21).


What Is MOZA Pit House?

MOZA Pit House is the core tuning and device management software for all MOZA Racing gear. It’s where you’ll:

  • Calibrate your base, wheel, and pedals

  • Customize force feedback

  • Update firmware

  • Save and share profiles

You’ll find settings split into multiple tabs:

  • Basic Settings (intensity, strength, FFB filter)

  • Advanced Settings (equalizer curves, friction, inertia, damping)

  • Game Profiles (per-sim tuning, saved profiles)


  1. Update Firmware & Software:

    • Make sure Pit House and all MOZA firmware are up to date.

    • Run Pit House as Administrator.

  2. Calibrate Your Hardware:

    • Calibrate wheel center, pedal ranges, etc.

  3. Start With Presets:

    • MOZA offers presets under Game Settings > iRacing.

    • These are good starting points you can tweak from.

  4. Tune FFB in Pit House First:

    • Dial in your gain, filter, and equalizer settings before adjusting in-game FFB.

  5. Then Tune In-Game Settings (e.g. iRacing):

    • Set max force and reduce smoothing or damping if needed.

    • Always disable in-game FFB filtering when using Pit House EQ curves.


While tuning is personal, here are ballpark settings for MOZA wheelbases:

MOZA R9 (iRacing Example)

  • Steering Angle: 900°

  • Road Sensitivity: 3–4

  • Game Force Feedback Intensity: 100%

  • Overall Strength: 70–85%

  • Wheel Spring: 0

  • Wheel Damper: 0–5

  • Mechanical Backlash: 0

  • Equalizer: Bump mid-high frequency slightly for road detail

iRacing In-Game:

  • Max Force: 30–45Nm

  • Wheel Force: Match your MOZA base

  • Damping: 0%

  • Min Force: 0%

  • Reduce Force When Parked: On

Tip: Always adjust one setting at a time. Take notes and use the Save/Load profile feature in Pit House!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don’t stack FFB filters in both Pit House and in-game, use one or the other

  • Avoid front USB ports or hubs, plug directly into your motherboard’s USB 3.0 port

  • Don’t forget to save your working profiles, there's no autosave!
