I do have ffb clib enabled, should i remove it? Maybe something is bugged from my side, but i went into the ff file, made it read only, and i think it's okay for now. I never got the chance to say i thank you for this by the way, insane work you've done. One last thing, there is a tiny clipping going on whenever i change surface, like from grass to tarmac, and from tarmac to climbing a sidewalk or something. Is it normal? It's very little so it's not annoying but sometimes it triggers me xD
Yes please just remove ffb clip!
Clipping isn't always bad! It's a bit complicated but you can imagine it like music production.
No clipping = classical orchestra live. Sometimes very quiet, sometimes very loud!
If you just put a microphone somewhere in the room to record it and then listen to it at home, you won't hear the solo violin and everything will be way too loud when the whole orchestra plays.
A nicely clipping ffb is like a modern pop song. Basically always the same volume/loudness but you still hear a dynamic between the intro and the chorus towards the end.
It's heavily compressed!
Now ffb contains 2 things:
Strength and left/right.
Clipping only cuts off the strength over a certain limit but the left/right information will still be there!
With a kinda "weak" wheel like a Logitech, you need to have the low signals (quiet violin) to be kinda loud to even notice that they are there!
You need to find a level where for example hitting a sausage kerb while being at the grip limit will be cut off and clipping but at the same time you can feel the car when driving normal corners.
And I have to say: the default ffb strength of 100% does this very well! As that's the default from the developers!
When you have a very good wheel like a direct drive, it's like having your own concert location. So you can use very low ffb levels with no clipping and still notice the little things.
But a Logitech wheel is like an iPhone speaker. Only modern pop songs will sound good so you need a constant level and not too low signals!
My lut does a good job at getting the iPhone speaker to sound nice over the full range but you still need a good level. And some clipping will be there, while not being bad!
That's why I recommend to use my lut (which boosts the ffb to 150%) and 50% gain in the game menu.
100% for the in-car gain.
This will result in 75% overall gain, so some clipping but not that much. I boosted the low forces to get rid of the dead center.
Now an important part:
Remove ffb clip, start with the 50% menu gain and 100% car gain and then drive some chicane style left and right.
Increase or decrease the ffb for each car (numpad + and -) until the center feels as smooth as possible.
Don't look at the clipping!!
Just go higher or lower for each car until driving left and right will feel perfect for the center position and then you'll have the perfect level
