FFB (new development)
Well, this is what I did.
First I set Damper how I like it (to not feel friction, and to not feel wheel too thin). This is at 96% on my system. Then I tested Centering Spring with Spring being 0% (Damper at 96%). And it turned out that the best Centering Spring is also 96%. So, I would say that Centering Spring should be the same as Damper. If it is bigger than Damper, it develops snap-loose condition, if it is smaller it tries to spin car. So, it looks like the trick is in setting up Spring. I didn't have time to do this, but on my system it is somewhere around 120-130%. This I will set some other day. I'll try with Damper and Centering Spring at 0% to see how it behaves. I just went to Lime Rock with Legends, and saw a lot of people spinning. The difference between Damper and Centering Spring induces those spins, so I would suggest to make those two the same. Mario |

You can spin like that, or you can spin just turning into a corner at normal speed, because wrong FFB fools your senses into doing wrong things. BTW, I still didn't find time to test (I am too tired now, coming back from work), but from little test of Spring the previous day, it could very well be that the right setting for Spring on my system is 128%. If this is the case, then this would mean that iRacing locked Spring also at 75%, because 128 x 0.75 = 96. We know that Damper was also locked at 75%, but iRacing reverted it back to 100%. This 75% lock only confused things, because with this lock the right settings for my system should be 128/128/96 (because Centering Spring wasn't locked at 75%), and this is far from the default 100/100/100. I am looking forward in a few days to find out if this is so. Mario |

I am looking forward in a few days to find out if this is so. Ok, here it is what happened. It looks like Spring isn't locked at 75%. It looks like, for the most "realistic" feel Spring and Damper should be both at 100%. Centering Spring, while it worked well at 96% when Spring and Damper were 0/96, it doesn't work well at 96% when Spring and Damper are both at 96%. It does work well though at the setting I determined with Damper and Spring both at 0%, and this is 22% on my system. So, now I am using 100/100/22. I also matched the Overall with what I like, so now I have 118/100/100/22 (Centering Spring unchecked, and everything else unchecked). Well, this is it, I tried everything, and I cannot do better than this. Now I will start to race, I hope it will be "truetful" to me when I start to work on car setups (which I will not do right now, first a little bit rookie racing, : )), which is the main reason why I tried to find the most "true" FFB settings in the first place, so that I can feel the best what is happening within the car.

Actually, I still have something to do. I'll try different Spring with 100/22 of Damper and Centering Spring. Mario |

I'll try different Spring > with 100/22 of Damper and Centering Spring. Ok, I did some testing. It turned out that Spring and Cenetring Spring should be the same. But, on my system it isn't 22%. I went lower, and now I am at 14% (it is too late over here, so I have enough for today), but it probably is 13%. It looks like Damper doesn't have to be at 100%. For now I am testing with 100%, but probably I will go back to 96% with it. Mario |

For now I am > testing with 100%, but probably I will go back to 96% with it. Ok, I am abandoning the idea of low Spring setting. I am back with Spring and Damper at 100%. I tested all the low settings, and Centering Spring is 15% (on my system) with Spring and Damper at 100%. I'll test higher numbers as well (for now I tested Centering Spring 0-22%). I am using Overall at 118%. Mario |

I am > using Overall at 118%. Ok, having low Centering Spring is also wrong. It looks like the tension between Spring (S) and Centering Spring (CS) balances forces (because of lag, I presume). With Spring and Damper at 100% I have balanced forces with CS at something like 125% and something like 80%. With 125% CS is 25% higher than S. With 80% S is 25% higher than CS. I still have a lot to test (I am a working man, so don't have enough time), but I would really like to see what effect would be if I replace the CS value with S value. Also, the difference of Damper and Spring also creates tension, so locking Damper to 75% dfinitely wasn't a good idea (this only created even more confusion). Also, some other values create quazi balance (like CS at 15%, which I mentioned in previous post). But at the end it will be CS either at 125%, or 80% (peobably 125%, but first I must test thoroughly all combinations, just to be sure what is right). Mario |

Ok, it looks very much like Spring and Centering Spring should be the same. I tested them from 100% to 138%, and it looks like they have to be even higher on my system (later I will also test how things behave below 100%). It very much looks like Damper and Overall can be per how pople like. I like Damper at 96%, and Overall at 118%. I am not yet finished, and I am looking forward to see how this will end (it WILL end soon, : )). Mario |

Hm, it looks like Centering Spring and Spring are locked at 75%. I am getting fed up with this. Somebody who comes from some other world (other simulation), comes into iRacing, stays one month, and goes away, seeing that he isn't compatible with iRacing's world. I mean, there is simply no sense in all this. In other simulations guy is using one FFB setting, and iRacing has something completly different. Why? To have "better resolution"? Resolution of what?
