It actually depends on your style and the particular LWFF wheel and LWFF drivers you've got. Like setting up a car, it's got a fairly strong personal component. A good starting point is 100% overall and spring, 25% damper in the LWFF properties. In GPL, 300 overall, 20 damping, and .02 latency. Adjust the overall till you have the force you like, remembering it may be esier to feel subtle effects with less force and also that less is more in the GPL settings. See if you like less or more damping. Finally, tweak the latency.
While I wouldn't consider myself an expert (at least not with regard to FF), here's what I've settled on after more than a year of using the LWFF with GPL : LWFF control panel: Overall: 80% Spring: 100% Damper:30% Centering spring: disabled. Core.ini: [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 force_feedback_damping = 8.000000 force_feedback_latency = 0.005000 max_steering_torque = 350.000000 Cheers, Jan. =--- Graeme Mitchell wrote...

I've just come back to GPL after a break and discovered that it now supports force feedback for my LWFF wheel (the original one with the red rim). I'm having more fun than ever with this incredible game. Anyway, I've got the FF working but I was wondering if any of the experts here can recommend the best settings to use in core.ini for my wheel. Thank you for any advice you can give. Graeme Mitchell

Thanks for the suggestions - I'll do a bit of experimenting and see what feels best. Graeme Mitchell.
