Also, which driving aids inhibit performance the most? I've turned off
anti-lock braks and have steering assistance on low, but everything else
is on default settings.
Thanks!

I would say all aids limits performance much.. but i keep TC on low, the
rest off.
Steering help ( however horid it is) will improve lap times instantly by 2
to 4 seconds.
Sad really

Please do post the FF settings. Thanks!

Okay. I'm going to post both my F1 2001 settings and my F1 2002
settings. They are a little bit different, because the steering feels
different to me in F1 2002. Unfortunately I do not have the steering
feeling quite as good in F1 2002 as I did in F1 2001 yet, but it is
getting close. Also I took all the vibrations out of the F1 2001
settings, whereas in F1 2002 I am trying to leave them in but just get
them to a realistic amplitude and frequency. So, first is the settings
I use for F1 2002:
FFB Device Type="2" // Type of FFB controller: 0=none 1=wheel,
2=stick/custom, 3=rumble pad.

1.0.

axis, 1 = throttle effects on steering axis.

brake effects on steering axis.

"sensitivity". Range 0.0 to infinity. 0.0 to 1.0 = higher sensitivity,
greater than 1.0 = lower sensitivity.

if controller pulls in the wrong direction).
FFB steer force output max="1.80000" // Maximum force output of steering
force, recommendation 0.8 to 2.0

0.4 to 0.9. How much weight is given to tire grip when calculating
steering force.

steering damper. Range: -1.0 to 1.0
FFB steer damper saturation="1.00000" // Saturation value to use for

FFB rumble strip magnitude="0.25000" // How strong the rumble strip
rumble is. Range 0.0 to 1.0, 0.0 disables effect.

There you go. Enjoy!
Whoa, stop right there! - looks like you're asking for trouble fiddling with
all that. ; ) The defaults for FFB seem OK to me.. <shrug>
My recommendations are as follows:
Set Speed Sensitivity to 0% (important) - (you may have to have it much
higher with a low travel device like a joystick)
Set Steering Lock in the car setup to about 17 degrees (any lower and you
won't make it out of the garage : ) )
Set all Deadzones to 0%
Set all Axes to 50% for maximum feel when accelerating and braking
(except......)
...the X-axis (steering) which you should adjust to a comfortable level.
On a Logitech MOMO, something around 6-7% for X-axis should work and on an
original Wingman Formula Force, something around 2-3% should feel best.
Ideally the X-axis should also be set to 50% but it's just not possible on
most (if not all) PC wheels since there's just not enough travel and it's
waayyyy too sensitive. Setting X-axis lower is a much better compromise
than increasing Speed Sensitivity which increases the sensitivity as you
slow down and can***up your corner entry...
