Shame you guys still dint include a little Read Me explaining what the diffrent levels of FFB do. Its been requested quite a few times by the community allready ..

Apart from that nice update.

 

[EIF]

6GB update and still no multiplayer or even just singleplayer racing . . . I wont be driving let alone buying content without these elements.

 

[J-F Chardon]

We're working on it as hard as we can.

 

[jason_peters]

Still downloading the patch (does 6GB even qualify as a patch )

I too will not buy content without the single player enabled so I can see how good the AI is. However if the AI is good and competitive then I will happly buy content

Keep at it guys!!! Any thought how long before single race is implemented? Will it have a Quali session too?

 

[RaceNut]

It is probably a new build/patch with new content. You can race some AI now in practice mode - just keep in mind that they are adaptive and will learn from your driving and pace. You do need to restart sessions in order for them to progress though.

 

[jason_peters]

yes but currently the AI are too slow on the straights and you can just drive by even though their lap time is close to mine (no set up changes)

 

[Stelios]

I was hoping to see something along the lines of :

Rewritten the FFB code from scratch.

Seriously simbin, you have disappointed me with these canned effects and the bad overall feeling.

R3E has some of the best FFB of any sim to date using the G25 but, the setup required is anything but typical.

 

[Jebus]

Yeah no complaints about FFB with T500 either. Needed some tweaking from my part tho, but it's quite good now.

I have tried the setup you are referring to, i still think its too unresponsive compared to GSC for example.

Edit: I really want to love this game but GSC has set the standard for FFB too high.
Also, love the sounds, proper animalistic sounds

 

[Andi Goodwin]

you could always try opening the controller files and copying the gsc settings across ... if you dont understand what im talking about repost and ill explain fully : this wont give you the exact feel but may give you a feel closer to what you want

[Stelios]

I understand what you mean, to be honest i haven't tried this yet. Can you please tell me what are the file names i need to edit?
You think that if i use my logitech profiler's profile for GSC that ill get the same feeling??
I doubt it but i am willing to try

You Have to change these settings from GSC in the R3E controlset.

On a serious note, i did make the changes Peter suggested, but what about the logitech profiler? Should i use the GSC settings also?

 

[Ernie]

you could always try opening the controller files and copying the gsc settings across ...

I think you can't get a similar FFB in R3E by just copying the GSC parameters. GSC is using RealFeel and the plugin generally doesn't care about the FFB parameters in your controller file.

 

[Philip Antonia]

My broadband isn't good enough to be downloading 6GB updates!!!

I think I'll leave R3E until it's a little more complete if patches/updates are going to be so big.

 

[Majuh]

I just drove the BMW 635csi in the "Try before you buy" competition and I think the handling is better than before now. The onboard sound is also much better now:

Is there a changelog for yesterdays update..?
