GPL FF on the Logitech. Ideal settings?

What settings are all you LWFF users putting in your core.ini? Is there a particular settign that everyone agrees on? I have the follwing: force_feedback_damping = 30.000000 force_feedback_latency = 0.0500000 max_steering_torque = 55.000000000 but these don't feel perfect. Thanks for any tips David C

i based my settings on those from www.simracingmag.com there's a good discussion of the numbers there. i felt too many spikes, though, so turned up the damping just a touch. remember ro use the controller properties to turn overall effects up to 150%. [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 ; Use FF if device has it force_feedback_damping = 75.000000 ; force feedback damping coefficient force_feedback_latency = 0.225000 ; force feedback latency (secs) max_steering_torque = 65.000000 ; steering torque in N*in giving max device force

I prefer the default latency: force_feedback_latency = 0.085 Anything less seems out of sync.

Pardon my ignorance, but how did you determine whether or not it was "out of sync"? I've done a lot of testing with different settings but I don't think any setting I tried was blatantly "out of sync". Leo

>Pardon my ignorance, but how did you determine whether or not it was >"out of sync"? Just be feel - a totally subjective call. In particular, the way the weight shifted from side-to-side when coming out of a turn felt wrong, out of sync with what the car was doing graphically.

Here are the settings I use which I got from a guy named 'mic' (they've worked really good too) In profiler: Overall 100%, Spring 100%, Damper 70%, Centering Spring off, Centering at 0%. In core ini: allow_force_feedback = 1 ; Use FF if device has it force_feedback_damping = 0.000000 ; force feedback damping coefficient force_feedback_latency = 0.085000 ; force feedback latency (secs) max_steering_torque = 75.000000 ; steering torque in N*in giving max device force

I use the following settings with with the overall effects set to 75% in the LW profiler. [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 force_feedback_damping = 60.000000 force_feedback_latency = 0.000000 max_steering_torque = 200.000000 Anything higher and it feels unnatural. Sid.
