Real Feel Help...Please!

Maybe it's the fact that I'm getting older, but I can't (for the life of me) figure out how to work this 'RealFeel' mod. After performing my weekly limit of Google searches for 'Installing RealFeel for GTR2 and rFactor', I'm truly at my wits end. I've read all the posts that I can get my hands on and I've read all the readme files that came with the downloaded mod. But I can't seem to find this mysterious 'MaxForceAtSteeringRack' that supposedly is in some .ini file that is created once I jump into a new car?? WTF??

Just a note....I've dropped the RealFeelPlugin.dll file into my rFactor/Plugins folder, configured my G25 profiler to the settings that were recommended in the readme file-but now what the heck do I do? I can't find this 'MaxForceAtSteeringRack' value? I've looked in my rfactor 'users' folder, I've checked the rFactor root directory, I've checked the actual car folders that were just driven....heck, I've even checked under my bed. What am I doing wrong?? I give....I simply give.

There's a general Controller/Config file that I found under the 'Controller' Folder within the root of rfactor....But nothing that says MaxForceAtSteeringRack...unless I'm blind:

[ Force Feedback ]
FFB Device Type="1" // Type of FFB controller: 0=none 1=wheel, 2=stick/custom, 3=rumble pad.

FFB steer force max change="100.00000" // Maximum change per second based on current difference between calculated and applied force, to help avoid jerky behavior (values under 15 or so should reduce jerkiness, 100 disables)

FFB steer force grip function="0.55000" // Range 0.0 to 1.0 (previous hardcoded value was 1.0) - lower values will make steering force decrease LATER as front tire grip is lost - try 0.3

Real Feel Settings

Right-CTRL 7 and 9 to increase/decrease max steering force.
Right-CTRL 1 and 3 to mix realfeel and normal FFB - 100% is full realfeel effects with no FFB.
Use right-CTRL 2 to switch realfeel on and off.

[FONT=&quot]right CTRL and NUMPAD8 should reverse the settings.........whilst incar.

same as dragging the slider from +100 to -100.....

R-CTRL and NUMPAD7 increases force - rCTRL and NUMPAD9 decrease it.

r-CTRL and NUMPAD 1 - reduce rFeel mix by 10%
r-CTRL and NUMPAD 3 - increase rFeel mix by 10%

r-CTRL and NUMPAD 0 - reduce smoothing
r-CTRL and Del/. - increases smoothing

My Main problem is that I can't find the RealFeelPlugin folder....If I follow your above instructions and I hit Control 2 (Or 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,), doesn't something supposed to happen on screen? A click, a beep, a number value, an on or off??? Nothing happens? Doesn't seem like it even works?

I've clicked on the rFactor directory and I see absolutely no RealFeelPlugin folder....the only RealFeel plugin I have in my rFactor file is the .dll file that I dropped into the 'Plugins' folder....I simply can't find it???

I've even jumped into rFactor and drove the BMW Sauber F1 in hopes that this folder would be created after I drove the car (and after I hit L Control Numpad 2).....and nothing. This can't be this hard.
