Did you know, there's a "Try" button on each car that lets you try it for free?Ive read a few times, that the new cars the gr5 and gtr2 have new physics which improved the FFb and physics. Does this get rid of the over forced centre and the swaying you get from it?
I will not buy them not knowing if this is fixed.
You're starting to sound like a broken record, ever considered moving on?okay i tried the new caddy, felt just like every other car in rre.. poor////
I agree and sympathise with Dan's complaints but this is the best advice in the short term at least. Plenty of other good sim racing options to enjoy.You're starting to sound like a broken record, ever considered moving on?

I just don't see THAT much difference in the ffb to the other sims....and certainly not enough to make any of them a showstopper.
Don't get me wrong I am not saying anyone is not experiencing issues or anything like that, but how mine works and how the others I have played work, I don't see much difference between them all. I can certainly say they don't prefer it, but to say it is poor compared to others loses me.
I think that in this discussion, which has been going on for a while now, what would be really interesting to see is that someone like you that feels no connection and no proper feedback, got to go visit someone who feel the exact opposite and try their rig, to see if this is a matter of difference in feel between systems, or if it's a matter of difference in expectations.It feels like I'm driving in a thin layer of air, like an air hockey table. I get no feedback from the tires as to their level of grip which makes it difficult to control the car or push it near its limits, and ultimately makes it a not enjoyable experience. I don't expect it to feel like other sims, but I do expect to be able to feel what my tires are doing because that's a pretty critical aspect of sim racing.
Anyway, I've posted my thoughts on this before and tried any number of FFB settings with no success. I'll say no more on the topic for now as it doesn't appear there will be a solution any time soon.
Just bear in mind that R3E is also effectively 'in beta', 'in continuous development' or whatever else they call an unfinished game these days. Not making excuses but it's basically in the same place as those other new sims you dismissed.And no, there aren't plenty of good sim racing options right now. The good ones are all 5-10 years old and the new ones are either beta or "to be released soon". So that's why we keep hoping R3E will improve because it has the best potential (IMO).

Then, and only then would we know for sure if this is actual issue or just that the FFB doesn't fit your expectations.
I've found that after playing iRacing and R3E exclusively for a couple of months, when I booted up AC the first time I found it's FFB to be atrocious, I was checking my settings and starting to wonder if my wheel was having issues cos it felt so wrong. But after having spent 2 hours on track I started enjoying it's feedback again, it's just very different in how it delivers it's feedback compared to R3E and iRacing.

I agree R3E has the most potential and I understand that any complaints arise from passion for the product, but this forum is no longer the place to get attention from developers on this matter. Endless complaints on RD is tantamount to talking amongst ourselves.
You and me both. I became a 'full-time' PC gamer about three years ago and it was the racing sims that enticed me to build a good gaming rig. Before that I was predominantly a console gamer and had done a lot of organised online racing in Gran Turismo and Forza which was good fun but left me wanting something with more depth.It's my own bad timing that's the problem, I decided to make the jump to PC sims at a time where the good sims are old and the new sims are incomplete, and it's been disappointing.
Fair enough, I'll stick up for Dan too but if FFB in its current state is a complete show-stopper then it's probably best to move on and check back again in a month or two.And I wasn't trying to get the devs attention, I was just sticking up for Dan and explaining why some of us still voice criticism.
