After upgrading to 0.9.7a, I’m again having issues with the FFB cutting out in DR. The issue seems to occur when turning the wheel far enough that it hits the game’s “soft lock” (full steering lock on the virtual car). I tried manually upgrading the IONI firmware to 1.7.2, but that did not solve the issue.
Settings for DR are 1080 degrees, filter 1, TBL 1000Hz, 2.7% damping, 0.80% friction, 0.00% inertia, 24% friction and damping effects.
i would advise you to lower the 2.7% damping , we are experiencing something similar with ffb cut/loss and after lowering that value to lets say 1.0 - 1.5% (you could try less or more to see) seems that it bypass the problem. although i can not say for sure that this is the problem for your setup.
Somtimes there is a USB cable problem, hub problem, USB extension cable or USB 3.0. Try high quality different USB cable, no USB HUB, no extension cable, motherboard USB 2.0 only.
Follow the guide as referenced by HardWin but, keep in mind that neither DR1/DR2 are going to provide the full-bodied FFB we are accustomed to in other Sim-titles, it just isn’t in the game’s DNA.
The best ffb I ever achieved with DR1 was derived from telemetry-driven ffb but, that was using a different steering system. Still, we can get the FFB to a decent place and enjoy the DR titles for what they have to offer.
