While FF is certainly not essential, it is not so much that it makes it
easier, and I am not sure it does - but it is much more realistic, and a
good FF setting provides valuable feedback on what the car is doing - of
course, you have to react to that feedback as well. I was one that didn't
think FF would be worth it, and for a time didn't think I would ever invest
in it, but now that I have it with my Momo I couldn't go back I don't think
to a non FF wheel.
