Anyone have a decent one they could email me? The more I go at it the more screwed up. TIA
Well here's the settings I'm using for my LWFF, this provides enough force to know what the car is doing without forcing me to fight the wheel. Note these settings are to be used in conjuction with the LWFF settings in Game Controller of: Overall Effects Strength: 100% Spring Effect Strength: 100% Damper Effect Strength: 100% Enable Centering Spring: OFF <---- very important for GPL feel core.ini settings: [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 ; Use FF if device has it force_feedback_damping = 60.000000 ; force feedbackdamping coefficient force_feedback_latency = 0.025000 ; force feedback latency (secs) max_steering_torque = 155.000000 ; steering torque in N*in giving Hope that helps, again those settings are so that I don't have to fight the wheel all race long, yet I can feel the force get progressively stronger as the tire loads up, then the force will lighten up as the tire loses traction. Seeyas on the track. --John (Joao) Silva >Anyone have a decent one they could email me? >The more I go at it the more screwed up. >TIA
Excellent LWFF settings Joao. These are the best I have used with GPL. You feel bumps and suspension loading as well as the light touch required for quick changes in steering. Highly recommended for those with the LWFF. No more having to fight the wheel and feeling knackered after 5 laps. Thanks a lot. -- Darren DagScog Racing HMRC - GPL Season '67 With the right setup I'm just as fast as the man behind... <Snip> ***y ISP won't let me post less new text than original. Sheesh

thanks guys BIG help........ but one thing..... how do you turn off the auto-centering thing?
You need to download latest drivers (3.25) they are auto installing from the Logitech update site. Then auto-centering appears in the settings box Hope this helps Tim L

More realistic, especially since we're talking about f1 cars. Heck, a quick go-kart can make your arm feel like jelly after 30 minutes or so.
Strong force is good, but if you spend like 4-5 hours working on a setup for a league race, after a while all that force gets tiring :-) I like the force more for its informational value physics wise than it's simulation of how hard these cars were to drive. But luckily Papy left it up to us to decide how to tweak the settings for our individual preferences. Seeyas on the track. --John (Joao) Silva
