thanks for the info. good to share it! RRE is not my main game i just made a good base setting. but it is not perfect i check the game with the ffb graph on. it looks like it clips pretty easily yet i don’t really feel the clipping. in iracing u feel clipping really easily. so i wounder if it really does.
i didn’t feel clipping while driving.
the steering force was on 150 by default. i tried 100 too but catching over steer became a lot harder in my opinion.
maybe its even better to put the overall strength on 100 and put the incar gain on like 0.6 instead of 1.0
maybe u get less clipping.
i did a lot of trickery in the .rcs file to make it more sim and less gamey ffb.
To be honest. You might well be 100% correct about the clipping. I dont actually know what clipping is supposed to feel like and thought that if the graph says its clipping really bad tjen it must be clipping. (lol)
The same can also be said about what feelings or sounds I should or should not have from the servo when in use.
Im also still on 1.61 ioni fw and latest Simucube. 0.9 FW, so not sure if that matters or not.
Severe Clipping can feel as though you only have centering-spring effects enabled, no details can be felt during hard cornering events or perhaps, some abrupt disconnected effects may be felt as though they are suddenly switching between on / off.
It just depends on the game and how the effects are handled, most titles clipping shows up as a consistent spring-tension devoid of details but, Pcars2 can actually have certain aspects of the FFB clip while others may not, so if the “FX” scale is too strong, the FFB may feel very “Choppy” and rough. This may be the case in RR as well.
It’s worth mentioning that there are two primary ways to create signal clipping; one is via the software (game FFB-output) and the other is via the hardware-settings. Any clipping in the game-FFB output (soft-clipping) will naturally travel downstream to the hardware. Generally, DD-wheel users don’t tend to run into the hard-clipping so much as can happen with lower-powered wheels; it’s mostly on the game-side where issues occur.
As for the clipping graph it goes over the redline when hard cornering and some crashing. Hitting or getting hit by other cars was really strong. I will give it another try later guys.
One thing I know is that before lowering ffb and other settings it was hardwork turning and the road affect made driving straight really hardwork and the road felt like I was driving on a rough surface with dips and ridges, so maybe too much road detail.
Its Abit better now.
Now its All about the fun of learning and you lot on here help ALOT, even a Thicko like me. Just a matter of walking on egg shells till confident not going to do more damage to my rightarm. Maybe the Large Mige for a newby WAS NOT the best option. (lol)
I would suggest even lower settings being that you are finding your way. If I set SimuCube at 100% output, some titles may only have gain / strength at 30% or so; SimuCube at 80% / game output around 50% is usually enough in my case, with +/- 5% for various cars.
In case you aren’t aware, AC and PC2 allow easy FFB-strength adjustments on the fly while other titles use individual-car strength settings. Custom tuning FFB-strength for individual cars in AMS may require some tweaks to the “RealFeel” file for each car but, most should work based on one average FFB-force level.
Some amount of clipping can be useful in regard to safety, as it means that the extreme (contact with opponents or barriers) signals will be curtailed before reaching the wheel. Using a clip-meter is generally one way to determine the point where that occurs.
@IMac if i where you i would put the max strength in simucube @ 50% or even lower. This will be a lot safer and less chance to hurt yourself. And put the ffb in the games higher
I do not know if it’s good, but I feel it correctly

There is always a bug with collision effects, so always set it to 0 .
Now that all the effects of RaceRoom are very well managed thanks to the excellent work of Mika, I would like to find the correct settings, but I can not do it.
I wanted to know what the different sliders in DirectInput Effect Setting correspond to:
i actually don’t use any of those effects. the clean ffb is the best in my opinion instead of fake effects.
that way you only feel the real things who are there. personally i am not interested in fake road effects or engine vibration that add random vibration. there is enough real track detail. but the road texture is totally smooth. but bumps you do feel.
only the sine wave effect does something in RRE if i am correct
to make it more sim and less gamey ffb.
