The RaceRoom thread

I don’t have iracing

Ok, well you’re in for a real treat when you do get to use your DD in iracing.
The difference between raceroom and iracing is huge in regards to the FFB.

Okay, it is rather a state of personal feeling, but I really like the feeling of FFB in RaceRoom now. I am satisfied, but I confess I have hard time to really know what is good or not. :wink:

iRacing has the advantage of that all their tracks are laser-scanned, and I guess that is why you get a feeling of texture when running through the track. But I do prefer Raceroom because of all the cars and the tracks that are available.

I am very happy user now. :slight_smile:

Yes, RR FFB can be very good although, it does lack very fine detail that we may get with other titles. The tactile and motion cues are much the same in RR and it can all feel a bit sterile when compared to other titles.

I personally feel rF2 and AMS do FFB even better than iRacing but, both titles require some tweaks to get them at their best, especially when using a DD-wheel. Having a FFB-preset specifically designed for DD might give even better results and with less fuss but, I suspect something like that has a better chance of happening once the Fanatec Podium series arrives due to their long-standing relationships with game developers and greater acceptance of the systems in general.

DD-wheels are relatively new and it seems few developers really consider the user-base as being large enough to warrant development of hardware-specific profiles. Still, the results we enjoy using these wheels are so good that it’s hard to feel we are missing out. :slight_smile:

Tried it. What I noticed was that your device ids were still present in the file (for example the formula rim you’re using) and I got a message in RR that it couldn’t recognize it. Apart fom that, all effects w.r.t shifting (the lowest option in the settings menu) isn’t reflected in the Simucube.rcs file you uploaded. Maybe you can re upload this file as you have it now. It didn’t feel right though, really frustrating, wheel felt much too light, no communication. Indeed the earlier mentioned lack of road feel. In general I would expect there was a controllerprofile available in all the sims. It’s now even worse than my good old T300. Setting the sinewave effects in the Simucube software didn’t do anything for the roadfeel. You’re AC and Rfactor2 settings feel great however, so probably I’m doing something wrong.

try it

Thanks, I will. It seems that there are issues in general:https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/no-ffb-after-8may2018-update.10765/page-10

There’s nothing you’re doing wrong. RR just doesn’t work properly with Simucube in my experience. I’ve tried just about every setup and none are any good.

Hello

normally this has been corrected
you may have to delete the .RCS profile and create it again

I like the RR FFB with SimuCube, for the most part; the only issue I have not solved yet is with some looseness around center. It feels notchy or clunky near center with some cars but, not all.

Hi, tried it. Did get roadfeel back, but the steering now was far too light. Went back to the settings of Skeijmel and applied 20% smoothing and 35% dampening. Increased the steering force to 140%. Still no roadfeel but drivable. On the contrary AC is really, really good, feel for the car is amazing, and do get roadfeel there. However Rfactor2 roadfeel is the best. AMS feels great too now. Haven’t tried Iracing yet.

Strangely though when I increased the slip effect to above 0% I got back some of what I perceive as roadnoise. Although there doesn’t seem to be a corrrelation with the road such as in RF2 and AMS. But that sound of R3E makes it so good. Still don’t understand that most of the sims do not support surround sound. In my opinion it’s at least half of the experience. It’s 2018…

Disabled Steering-Rack effects- less springy now. Decreased the steering sensitivity to around 60%. Much better, but indeed road feel can be improved.

IΒ΄ve just installed the game and iΒ΄ve followed the tutorial on youtube that SKeijmel gave.
But in the crontroller section, the wheel is not deteted.I have no access to the forcefeback section.

Is this hapening to someelse?

Solved…Was not detected at the first time…

For R3E only use the force and lateral, nothing more.

Hello
I can not feel the wheel lock when braking. do you have a setting for that? thank you

My last settings
