I have the R4 wheel, and have been playing around with the FF settings in the core.ini and the joystick setups...but I still haven't been able to get one that feels right. A lot of people have been saying that with the Log. FF wheel, they can feel the shifting force. I can't. Also, there is a significant "dead-zone" in the center. 1" left-right maybe? My settings in core.ini are: 45.00000000 0.000000000 200.0000000 I had turned off "return to center spring" in the joystick properties, but there was too much "sway" as I traveled straight forward. Applying a little (in the R4 setup, there's basically none -> 100%, in about 20% increments) force sort of helped, but I've heard so much about removing completely that force. Any suggestions from co-owners of the R4 and GPL 1.1? Thanks and regards, John Wehman Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

Just as you, I'm using about 20% "return to center spring". My FF-strength is on 50%. My core.ini has been modified like this: force_feedback_latency = 0.055 ; in Sekunden force_feedback_damping = 400.0 ; magische Zahl I find these settings quite satisfying, but I'm still tinkering with them. If you find any use for them, it'd be nice; if you find improvements, please post them on this ng!! Yours - Reaperle

Did you already try to enable "apply force from y-axis to x-axis" (or whatever it's called in english) in windows control panel? I guess the shifting force is on the y-axis, like the clutch in Viper. This could be connected with your "nonlinear steering" settings, if they are high, there will be a kind of "dead zone". Otherwise, d/load DXTweak from logitech's Website to get rid of any "dead zones" (normally you have 5% of it!). "return to center spring" should be disabled automatically, if you use FF. At least I didn't notice any difference on my system (Saitek R4). Is there really any difference on your system? CU Zolli
