I'm using a MOMO as well. The default FF strength is absolutely ferocious
on these things and I strongly recommend to people that they turn it down in
the Logi control panel to about 50-60%. As you suggest, it can completely
destroy your impression of the way grip is conveyed.
I'm reminded of a person who came into RAS ages ago slagging off at F1 2002
for having a ridiculous feeling of cornering grip - turns out he was using a
MOMO with positive FF instead of negative FF......lol
I was very impressed when I dropped a few extra passengers in the LFS cars
and checked what happened. Drive around the skidpad and watch the tires
*deform*. Having autocrossed a lot of fast hatches, the LFS model, whether
it's based on a 1000MHz 323 DOF Euler-integrated quantum model (phew...
how's that for BS?), lookup tables, or voodoo, is pretty much spot on for
the FWD cars, and a lot of fun.

Playable, but you'd triple that in Netkar (at least with the AA and AF ***
turned off) : )

There is also the fact that I approached GPL from the very outset as a
"virtual" encapsulation of a segment of motor-racing history and I have
maintained that attitude ever since.
Apart from other "era" sims such as the NASCAR series (including Legends)
and the IndyCar series from Papyrus, I find that most of them have little
appeal. I don't want to sample several different types of car around a
couple of different styles of circuit. I never was one for the "Need For
Speed" genre.
I think I like the historical aspects of a well-crafted and presented racing
game as much as the driving itself.
Probably the reason was so disappointed with, and felt let-down by, "Spirit
Of Speed" and why I'm keen to see the additional historic mods for GPL.

That was me and I didn't exactly slag the game, I indicated I had a problem
with the FF pulling into the turn rather than providing centering force.
The game defaulted to 100%, so *excuse me* for assuming the slider would
scale from 0%-100%, just like any other racing sim. Missing a setting in a
game is one thing, having to manually adjust configuration files to get your
wheel working properly is another; an aspect which is still present in F1C,
BTW.

Whoops....no, it wasn't you, Jan. The guy I remember went into a real rant
about what a joke the physics were etc. etc.
I assumed the 360 is still in beta stage and the setup options will
become available in a later stage? I sure hope so..
And is it possible to raise the rideheight of the F3000?
It's kinda scraping the Nordschleife now, especially on the way to
Flugplatz :)

Ok, no problem.
