Following on from the announcement of a new Audi GT2 coming to the sim, we're also going to be getting another classic American track in December too!

This is such good news, one of my fav tracks in a game that's having a bit of a renaissance for me (thanks to Rasmus' FFB settings) - this one is an instant purchase...just gotta hope it's ok in VR

Well'p there goes all my free time and quality time with the family. Now I need to take a quick inventory of essentials I would need while I lock myself in the basement with the PC and food pantry, for a couple of weeks.

Great track! One of the things I like about R3E is the large amount of North American tracks available, something other developpers seem to neglect a bit (the exception being rfactor 2, but I'm not crazy about that sim and I'm afraid I never will be). Instead of always offering Monza, Spa, Silverstone and the Nurburgring, how about Road Atlanta? Mosport? Long Beach? Sebring? and countless others.

Also, I'd love to read one day: DX12 coming to R3E.

I've already done 100s of laps at the 'Ring with it as development, and let me tell you it is a blast!

290kph along Döttinger Höhe anyone..?

Will there be any FFB updates coming in the future? My wheel on the straights feels rather numb and lifeless compared to other racing titles (Fana csw 2.5).

I pretty much stopped playing R3E since I got a Fanatec rig last summer. I have a lot of problems with both FFB and pedals sensitivity.

My issue was playing other titles and realising what I was missing out on. Ah well, hopefully in the future things get addressed like they did with the ai.

Yes, our December update has several inclusions which directly affect FFB.

It'd also be worth your time looking at our forums (which I obviously won't link directly here) for the knowledge base section. There are a couple of threads specifically detailing how to go about setting up fanatec hardware for use with R3E.

Ok thanks for that. I have had a look at both recommended settings from you guys and both fanatec. I'll give it another look, see what I can find.

If you haven't tried these yet

TS-PC Racer FFB Feel

Sorry to start another boring FFB thread, but I've searched and not found anything that works for me so far. I would like to get R3E going so I could potentially join some of the new US races here occasionally, but I installed it the other day and I'm really struggling to get the FFB to where I...

These are the ones that worked form me; the topic is ts-pc but these work a treat on my CSL PS4; just remember to adjust in/per-car ffb to your taste.

For me, these settigns in the DTM 2016 BMW, with x2 for the per-car FFB is damn good.

Ok thanks for that, I'll give it a go. I do feel I'm making some headway with it. I was having a tinker this afternoon.
