I've played with the FF settings for my LWFF Wheel (original) since getting the sim, and I've yet to be satisfied with any of the results. Does anybody have any settings or tweaks that they're happy with that they'd be willing to share? Jerry Morelock
Not really satisfied with the FF in N4 was not with N3 either.I guess I'm spoiled with GPL FF. I find if I shut down the FF it gives me a big boost in FPS as it frees up cpu cycles and I tend to like the "feel" better at least for now. I figure with the poor (IMO) FF I'm not missing much by disabling it.
I think the FF in n4 is pretty good, and the problem with comparing it to GPL is not realistic because of the weight of the vehicles. N4 cars won't react as well as GPL simply because of the massive weight difference.... Dave "Rogers" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:966c14$ins$[email hidden]...

Point taken, but being that the cars in N4 are heavier that should transfer to a feel of weight in the corners (Steering wheel resistance) more so then GPL, which in my opinion it don't. Of course this proberly is refected by what make of wheel one is using and drivers for that wheel.
I also have a LWFF wheel and in GPL I can turn up the forces via the core.ini file settings so that the game wrenches the wheel out of my hands. In N4 I haven't found any settings other than the controller screen and with everything maxed out I can just barely feel the forces. Why didn't they just stick with the settings in the core.ini like in GPL?

I think in's pretty good too, but there isn't enough centering force at the SuperSpeedways. The wheel is WAY too loose around center at these tracks. -Larry "Dave St.Onge" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:NrAh6.374$[email hidden]...

This might help somone with LWFF, that i found...... I almost lost FF in n3 for some reason. THen in N4, the FF was OK until i created a LW profile for N4, then my FF was gone too. So i adjusted the FF inside the lw profiler prg and now FF is so strong that my arms get tired. Now i adjust the ff setting in the profiler prg in N3 and guess what, strong FF reactions again. I first tried to adjust the FF setting inside N4 with no luck at all. It seems the profiler prg overrides any settings you make in a FF section Just a brief note PassedYa --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vintook wrote:

I know what you mean (I think)-I'm having a devil of a time running in traffic at those tracks, as the FF will all of a sudden 'let go' and I'll either plow into the outside wall or I'll over-correct and end up spinning me and the guy inside me out of the race... Alas I am highly ignorant of the way you setup cars, so I have no idea of how to solve this (if it is a physics problem and not a FF problem). John DiFool
