I've got a Saitek wheel. I just set damping to 1200 instead of 0, and
noticed effects that definitely weren't there before. Also most of the
annoying friction is gone! Much easier to feel the front tires gripping
now. Really feels a lot like the rack-and-pinion steering on my little
Honda Civic! Try it!
I started a new thread just because I wanted to make people aware that this
isn't just for the Ferrari wheel.
Thanks again, Slot!

I have a Saitek wheel, too -- could you send me your .ini file or post
your settings for FF? If you e-mail it to me, use this address:

force_feedback_damping = 2700.000000
force_feedback_latency = 0.300000
max_steering_torque = 3300.000000
Far beyond the values reccomended in the readme file, but you get some
interesting effects. The car almost seems to steer itself. I think it
feels a bit too squishy, though.
For now I'm using this, which feels more taught, but seems to lack some of
the neat effects:
force_feedback_damping = 40.000000
force_feedback_latency = 0.300000
max_steering_torque = 400.000000
By the way, I've got a Celeron 366. If your system is faster, you might
want less latency.
I think I'll experiment with gradually higher damping values. It's
interesting that inreasing the damping makes the overall force more powerful
and requires much higher torque values. I don't fully understand it yet.
Naturally, you'll be less impressed than I was if you didn't have damping
set to 0 to begin with. ;o)
