Started practice and thought my settings were all stuffed up, reset,reset reset still the BMW was like driving a Bedford truck with flat tyres, then I tried another car, it's the BMW that's heavy!
Gt40 too slippery,  the porsche I can keep on the track thank goodness,  see you there,
PS thanks for the setup.

Yeah I feel exactly the same. Never drove the bm before the balast was added? That may be contributing to the poor feel the bm gives.

Funny, I really like the feel of the Beemer. Done a lot of laps though. Took the 906 for a spin yesterday. Too touchy for me. :)

I think you might have some "unusual" ffb settings slideways. From what you mentioned to me the other night you have slip effect at 150% and Logitech profiler also with spring effect etc at 100%? That might explain different car feel?

What sort of FFB percentage is a more normal setup?

I cut the spring back to zero and doesn't feel much different to me. It was actually rooshooter that put me onto the "slip effect" tweaks from back at Longford in the Sierra's. Since then I've used different settings for every car I've raced.

In the Beemer I had to drop way down to 40. Could hardly turn the wheel @ 80

Not saying what is right or wrong here - just to explain different feel of cars between people's rigs.

My settings for Logitech Profiler and AC Controller/Advanced are attached. Degrees of rotation are set to 900 is both Logitech Profiler and AC Controller. I then use FFBClip app to adjust ffb for each car. Most of the AC cars are correct already and increasingly the better mod cars are also correct.

Yep, changed my profiler to that last week and in game most is the same, only the gain and slip effect changes from car to car.

Just tried the BMW and using FFBClip and the Force Feedback Controller ingame app I set FFB to 32%. Porsche 906 is set to 154% and Ford GT40 is set to 87%.

Not sure of my version no. now. 5.10.127 is the latest but I think mines around 5.8 something.... ::)
Never had a reason to update as I've never had issues in nearly 5yrs.

I'm on Win7 BTW.... ;)

That was an awesome night's racing. Race 1 was great to get a win but race 2 was the most intense fun I've had on track for a while. Gratulin almost pulled off the drive of the night though. Great racing everyone.... ;)
