Well interesting turn of events. I have settled on what I believe is an improvement over everything I have ever had.
In desperation I reloaded a new version of LeoFFB on next to a changed out RealFeel and with the
"FFB steer force output max="0.00000" " set and FFB effects in game to LOW. I began screwing around. Turns out with the default FFB disabled and the two other FFB's enabled they will play with each other. I set the Real Feel mix down to 90% allowing the Leo's to come through. Now to be honest the leo ffb isn't that good with steering forces but effects like bumps, grip loss and static turning resistance are excellent. So I spent a good deal of time this morning doing tests with different RF and Leo settings and the end result is probably the best FFB I have ever used. It combines the Smooth detailed feedback of RealFeel with the gentle and jarring bumps, rumble strip effects and traction loss of Leos.
I will post the specifics. I am using with a G27 (110%Force, 0% Spring, 0% Damper, 0% Center, 720° of Rotation)
Disable the Default FFB in the rFactor>UserData>Yourname>Controller.ini (line 272) Set "FFB steer force output max=" to zero
In Game make sure FFB is set to low and -100% Strength.
Install the newest RealFeel and LeoFFB.
In the rFactor main Dir I edited the RealFeelPlugin.ini and changed the Default Settings
Code:
[General]
RealFeelIsOn=True
ConsoleEnabled=False
ConsoleRepeatDelay=0.100000
SpeechEnabled=True
KeyRepeatDelay=0.100000
SteerForceInputMax=15000.000000
MinSpeed=10.000000
LogEnabled=False
DefaultMaxForceAtSteeringRack=5000.000000
DefaultSteeringDamper=500.000000
DefaultSmoothingLevel=0
in the plugins folder the LeoFFB.ini had heavy modification to remove unwanted forces and tone down some of the harsh stuff. Change the first number to match your usual steering lock.
Code:
25.0 Front Wheel lock angle, degrees (max deflection to one side from straight on)
0.72 Front wheel distance to centerline (half the front wheel track) in metres, from .pm file
1.65 Front axle distance to body reference point (about half the wheel base) in metres, from .pm file
0.0 Relative strength of FFB effects
10.0 Aligning moment curve shape / feeling of tyre losing grip. Lower numbers are duller, range 1.0 .. 10
0.0 Negative aligning moment parameter for high slip angles, range 0.0 ... 1.0
0.0 Slip angle where aligning moment reverses direction - typically between 8 and 15 degrees
0.0 Caster (dimetionless)
0.0 Camber ratio (not degrees!)
5.0 Road bumps feeling on the wheel
7500.0 maximum FFB force for stationary and low speed effects
5.0 stiffness of stationary wheels
1.0 wheel rubber hardness (1..5)
2.5 how quickly static forces drop off when rolling
I have several friends trying it out right now and so far the response is very positive.
