FF settings in N3

3 posts by 2 people · 07 Jan 2000 - 11 Jan 2000

Has anyone played around with the force feedback settings in N3? After lots of GPL, the forces in N3 seem quite weak even with the FORCE_SCALE_PERCENT set to 200 and the Logitech profile settings to 150%. I have the FORCE_DAMPING_PERCENT set to 10 at the moment. I'd like to hear what settings other people are using. Bye, Ian

Ian, the NASCAR3 FF seems not to be very well designed for the Logitech wheel (and I asume for I-force FF in general?). Usually playing it with a Saitek (Microsoft-FF technique), I tried it this weekend with a Logitech and was quite disappointed about the FF. Setting FORCE_DAMPING_PERCENT to '0' (which is set to 200 with the Saitek)helped a lot, but I mainly miss the forces from the y-axis, which on the Saitek can be mapped to the wheel. The different FF-systems also have a different approach concerning the centering spring. With the Saitek there is a strong centering force implemented in the FF (still not as strong as you can get it in GPL or Viper), while with the Logitech there is not. If you set your centering spring to about 100% and enable the 'apply centering in FF-games' option you get about the force as with the Saitek, but it seems to spoil the FF itself. I liked it best with the centering force set to 65%. Overall, the FF in NASCAR3 is great with the Saitek, sure it is by far not up to par with GPL or Viper, but it's fun to drive with and I would give it the 3rd place. CU Zolli
Thanks Zoli, enabling the centering force definitely improved things a bit. It was a bit better with the MSFF though.
