Better FFB physics in new updates.

[Msportdan]

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.

Hi Dan,

That's exactly how, and why I use the Steering Rack setting. As you say, it kinda dampens the whiplash in the wheel, .. when returning to centre, .. or counter-steering etc..

I currently have mine set at 50 ..

Cheers
Tom

I was the same with the steering rack but when I put it on zero, I thought the wheel came alive.

I'm sure @Georg Ortner said steering rack setting doesn't do anything at present. I could be wrong.

Uhm, it seemed to on my TX

 

[Msportdan]

yes with 100 rack your pretty much taking all the forces from the tyres, hence imo it reduces the strong centre alignment. But I could be wrong too.

Steering Sensitivity=50
Wheel rotation=900

@Msportdan
Have you tried lowering lateral force?

 

[jimortality]

@Msportdan the engine and brake stuff you use are canned and I don't think that's helping you get the feeling you're after mate. I have those both on zero and just have curb and shift on.

 

[Msportdan]

true ill have to reinstall and give the above mentioned a try..

Im not holding my breath though.. but trust me im just hoping for this one magic bloody setting. So I can enjoy rre.

 

[Jyri Kettunen]

So Dan, have you tried my settings yet?

 

[Msportdan]

OMG

just tried these...

well I couldn't use them because of the pedals, but I copied the FFB values over and its the best ive tried!!! wow. I had to increase traction up to 100 and reduce steer sensitivity to 35..

now its better than pcars ffb!! Cheers dude.. Ill have to test more,, but so far so good!!

I tried them and they worked great. Only made a few adjustments to reduce overall force. Did a race weekend in DTM14 and some hotlaps in the virtual DTM championship. Will try out some Gr 5 cars later and see how it goes. Thanks for sharing

edit: Dan, you should be able to just manually bind your own pedals and save it as part of the preset. Worked for me, cheers.

Haven't tried PCars since the new update - not sure if I should get rid of the Jack Spade files first or what.

 

[Msportdan]

oh I did just map my pedals and they worked in menu but not in car?! strange

BUT YES THIS PROFILE AND I CANT BELIEVE IVE SAID THIS HAS FIXED MY STEERING FORCE CENTRE ISSUE>> IM ACTUALLY IN SHOCK LOL

now I have rre sorted I may not play pcars... I dunno yet

 

[Msportdan]

further playing it still neds refining but this is sure the best ive felt.. Still no rf2 or gsc, or maybe pcars.. but for me ona t300 its better,.

Would you post them again Jyri,I would like to try them also.If Dan's impressed they'll probably suit me also

 

[jimortality]

Where does the file go?

 

[Msportdan]

jim in your docs in RRE folder controls set then replace.

These actually feel pretty good on the DFP with some slight tweaks (negative force, etc). Will do some more testing tomorrow. I didn't notice the centering force as well.

Now all we need to do is pinpoint which line(s) in the default rcs file is the main cause for this issue.

 

[Msportdan]

its not the steering force line, I can say that, I think its the ultra low lat and vert values.. I always thought people were settting em high,, I never liked it.,

 

[Big Takeover]

I've been lurking on Msportdan's pleas to find some decent ffb in RaceRoom while at the same time trying to find my own. I share a lot of the same complaints, and even went down a few of the same dead end paths (low steering force intensity).

Jyri's settings are the best I've tried so far on my T500 (using the McLaren as a test bed). I too made a couple of changes - steering sensitivity: 35, ffb spring: 6%, ffb damper 25%.

It's better now which is the good news, but I still think RR's ffb is lousy. Needing to adding things like friction and damper? That's Codemaster territory. Psuedo-sim stuff. I can adjust to it of course. It's just that it remains a weak link in an otherwise super-fun sim. A dark cloud.

Anyway, thanks guys for plugging away at it. Nice work!
