DiRT Rally 2.0 Another DR patch is out, no FFB fix in sight.

Sigh, and someone told me to stay optimistic.

If DR2 had D4 FFB, I'd be a happy man. I was referring to super grippy arcade physics, they never fixed.

I never spent much time tuning FFB in D4 because the grip levels were so ridiculous that I didn't see the point but, yes - I do remember it having more detail for sure.

I've spent a good 10 minutes thinking about what to say to that, and honestly, I've got nothing. "The mind boggles", maybe.

well, cheers for the time spent

It's not worse than DR1. Some of the forces are somewhat weaker (suspension) and it doesn't have the canned wheel rattle that stands in as "road detail" in DR1 (and that has nothing to do with the actual road detail), which apparently so many people miss for some weird reason. Everything else is improved or at worse the same.

I really don't understand why people keep saying this when it's so easy to test/compare.

It's not just that some of the forces are weaker, some are non-existent. As for the road detail, telemetry-based FFB in DR showed that the bump effects correlated to tactile and motion effects so they are more than random effects or signal noise like some claim.

I think the weight of the cars and overall handling in DR2 is improved but, the FFB certainly is not, not by any current standard. To make matters worse, it can even be inconsistent at times, especially with suspension effects; there's something wrong when that happens.

The FFB is definitely useable, remember this is a game, not a hardcore simulator, it amazes me how entitled and ridiculous people are being

It's all about the wheel slip people. Non-existent in DR2. At least with Logitech wheels. This is what makes DR better in my opinion.

Oh please, we've come to expect a certain level of FFB over the years. What's ridiculous is that developers seemingly expect us to accept something stripped-down and label it as "more realistic". Useable FFB is not why I use the hardware I do and why should we expect that DR2 would have less effective FFB than DR already established?
