The "ideal" force feedback setting - any suggestions?

Hi fellas, I just purchased a LWFF wheel, and everything seems to be working fine. However, I am not sure if the forces I am feeling are the "right" ones. I find that the Ferrari oscillates in a seemingly random fashion, to the extent that I sometimes get porpoising down long straights - makes it hard to catch the car when it starts to get away from me, or to 4-wheel drift...it just becomes "spastic." The effects seem a bit out of date, and I suspect that it's the latency setting. But this is curious, since I have the latency at 0.15 (in core.ini), and I profiler Version 3.25). I suppose I need to increase this value (?) any thoughts? Could someone more experienced recommend settings? Other than that, it seems like a very nice product, even though at this point I feel like I'm*** on to the tiger by the tail...(!) Many thanks, L.S.
Hi Louis, just a quick suggestion, since this was the initial prob I had with FF too (albeit with an MSFF); does it have an "return to centre" option somewhere? You may want to ease off on those values to get rid of the "see-sawing". Hope it helps, Matt/GPLEA Luis Soto skrev i meldingen ...
