I have spend a whole day racing DTM exp with the BMW at Norisring. I have tried every setting including the RCS file from Peter (thank you for that!!).
After this whole afternoon racing im tired and i came to a personal conclusion: this game isnt just for me period. I like every single bit of it: cars, tracks, graphics, sound. That is also the same for R3E: it has by far the BEST car park and tracks between rF2 / AC en yeah, even rF1 including all mods (personal preference). I do not care about the paying model as it garantees a certain quality which i cant say for rF1 / rF2 and AC mods. But i just cant get over the lack of car / ffb / physics feeling. I cant get used to it. Even after racing a whole day. The problem is that even after this day i'm not able to describe the problem i experience. It is just that everytime around the car suprises me and with only having a visual clue in 80% im too late to correct. So despite all money i have put into R3E and DTM exp, this isn't the title that gives me racing joy like rF2 or AC does. And that is a shame but hey, disappointment is part of life i guess.
firstly although ive quoted your post this is a general reply and not pointed at you ....
just to say i looked at your rcs and talked to peter aswell , as he has the same wheel as such , there were a few things in there that would give you very limited feeling , a while ago i started a couple of threads to share the rcs and also to discuss a little about how the ffb is going /changing etc . Its a shame that people choose to complain about the ffb instead of doing a little research and asking for help as such .
My standpoint on FFB is its like a cup of coffee , when i make my cup of coffee its better than one made by someone else as i know what i like ...
With the game developing with each update and aspects of the physics changing then we need to tweak a little , either to keep what we want or improve on what we want . having games that are plug and play are great but that says i have to accept that i have the same taste as the developer or the modder , in real life cars are set up for the driver or a compromise between drivers when the car is shared , some people prefer a more dampened steering feeling some a more direct , some a car that steers from the back some prefer a neutral car ... part of the joy of racing is to get that feel that you want ,and to be able to push it forward
Sim racing is a community , not everyone has the same skill level or the same skills to bring to it , very much like real racing , but we shouldnt be afraid to say "i dont understand" or "i really cant do that " , its not an issue , this is were the strengths of the community come into play ... so ask for a setup ; ask someone to help with the rcs file , graphics settings ... ill be honest i struggle to get the feel i want in AC , i can get it in rF/RF2, GSC ,Simbin games but that is through years of tweaking those to get what i want , i understand the parameters , the plugins (leos/realfeel(RF)) so i know that does this or that .
We are in a position at present were lots of sims are in a developement stage and in one way this is a bit "meh" but in another way its an amazing possibility to give feedback and put pressure on the developers to create what we want ; but we cant expect the developers to make the cup of coffee we want , they are going to release stuff that is in the middle / setups and rcs so for me its not right for my personal experience but if they give the leeway in the parameters i can do the rest
r3e has a long way to go and i know that the guys have listened to the feedback and the FFB is being retweaked , how the car reacts with the road etc also , so it will continue to change for a while still , so if you lose the feeling you had or cant find what you want then ask
anyway keep posting gents ; keep asking and keep pointing out were it is sucky as all of these are positive things , but above all have fun , and help and feed the community with your energy
