There's where you're getting into a matter of taste, to me those two
settings make the wheel feel like an Cadillac Eldorado with the front
wheels jacked off the ground. There's no simulated "road feel" or
resistance to turning the wheel.


Art - If you don't feel any resistance or road feel with those settings from
Dave when you're on track, then you must have something else set wrong.
rFactor has a ton of ini settings for FF and you are right that it's easy to
get off course and muck them up. No matter what, the wheel WILL feel light
from rest or somewhat right around the center, but that's mainly a function
of the shortcomings in the physics modeling at low/no speed, and various
means to avoid oscillation around center between iterations of the physics
model. Seems most if not all tire models tend to come up short at very low
speeds unless there's some hack to get around that issue, which has existed
in sims for a long time - you may remember how the cars in GPL would slide
down the track sideways from rest if you just sat still on a banked track,
but would grip fine if rolling, even just. That's why you don't feel the
resistance as being heavy at rest and then easing as you start rolling like
it would in a real car. I've yet to feel any FF setup truly mimic the feel
of a real car, but they are getting better and the G25 has by far the best
FF I've tried to date. I was a non-FF guy until the DFP came out and while
I liked the multi-turn aspect of that one, the FF was still lacking due to
it's slow response. The G25 is way better in that regard and allows much
more subtle things to come through, so if you're not feeling it then I'd say
you've got some ini issues.
