Problems logitech G27 Rfactor 2: force ffb very strong/heavy

[popeyesbd]

Hello,

I bought rFactor 2 a couple weeks ago and I still have troubles with the wheel feeling because it is very hard. It becomes very hard in the following situations:
- When car is running slow or stopped; for instance when car is running on the pitstop.
- Using GT or LM cars like Mercedes_SLS, Porsche, McLaren, Audi R8 LM, BMW Z5 GT3...
- When the car is on the track and it starts to skid, this became very hard.

I already changed a lot of parameters from logitech profiler and also inside the .json (old .ini) files controller to try to solve the problem, but the game doesn't works properly yet.

The only way that I found to solve this problem is decrease the parameter "CAR SPECIFIC FF-B MULT 1.00" to lower than 1.00 inside the game, but I think this will decrease also the feedback of the physics of the car and track because in straights the ffb is very soft but in the curves it still very hard/heavy.

I attach here my current setups...

Can anyone help me to fix this problem to be able to enjoy this game?!!

THANKS very much in advance!

ive noticed t his as well, as if the wheel has a lot of dampering somehow. i did 1.0/4smooth so theres a little but it just feels heavier to me than i re call & than i feel it should...i felt like if i ever needed to tune cars ffb before that it was always for stronger ffb, never weaker. i do have a plugin that detects clipping so im not far off 'ideal' but its quite a difference from what i recall.

tthis is frenky's excellent F12013 series cars.

Sounds pretty strange. Have you tried some ISI content like the Megane Trophy car? Sounds pretty weird usually the FFB is lighter on low speed and heavier on high speed. Is there maybe some FFB inversion going on?! I would reset all settings back to default. For me it was perfect out of the Box with a G25, but I upped the FFB Multipliert to 1.5 as the wheel was relatively light, so it seems there is something really wrong with your settings or your wheel.
Maybe you should do a seperate clean install of rF2.

Maybe try this:
reduce your car specific ffb multiplier and change the parameter in controller.json:
"Steering torque minimum":0.15
"Steering torque zero-speed mult":0.1

And in profiler allow the game to change settings. In global settings too.

Here are all my ffb settings if you need:

In car the car setup you could lower the caster settings which makes the wheel feel "lighter" aswell...
Just my ....1 cent....
