I'm not getting much FF right now. If I increase the FF, all I get is a
stiffer wheel. It rumbles, but that's about it.
I need to figure out how to turn off the shaking***pit before I puke LOL
Did some online last night. Other than getting DQ'd a couple of times while
trying to find my way to the damned track from the garage, it was ok. As
usual open servers were kinda messy, but that's typical.
I still think the sound rocks :)

That hasn't been my experience. I've caught some big slides in ARCA.
Sometimes I've been really surprised at how far out of shape the car
has been and I still saved it. ARCA is probably better to me than any
other sim in that regard.
Now that I think about it, I've had real life drivers get into my
simulator with the ARCA sim and catch some big slides without much
seat time. Probably has a lot to do with my steering configuration
and chassis setups.
One thing - make sure you have enough steering lock available to be
able to point the wheels in the direction of the slide. If you are
using the low steering locks that seem to come with the default
setups, like 9 degrees at a SS, or 12 at shorter tracks, you won't be
able to steer enough to save it. I seem to need 15 degrees or more to
feel comfortable, and part of that comfort is the ability to correct
oversteer.
Also, non-linear steering makes catching a slide almost impossible.
Remove any non-linearity from the steering by setting the steering
axis to 50% (full linear) or as close as you can stand. Same thing
goes for speed sensitive steering - set it to zero.
Keep at it for a few days and I'll be surprised if ARCA doesn't grow
on you :)

Hell, make it a separate app if you wish.

I suggest you buy a Playstation and Grand Turismo 4. ASR is
much too complicated for you.

All the best, uwe
