Lets talk FFB PC, PS4, XBox1

What is the general consensus of the ffb in Pcars2 from the experts? I'm pretty much at my wits end & constantly fiddling with settings is just pcars continued from the first game. I can find more better cars than the first game & it can at times feel ok but it feels like a minefield from car to car still & fee i just can't set it up forget about it like i can in other sims.

I don't think we can expect to achieve the same results as we get with other sim's; it's just different. Every title has it's own recipe and flavor consisting of different ingredients and proportions.

I agree, PC2 FFB is not a "Set it and forget it" one; I have pretty good FFB in quite a few cars but, I still don't get the same satisfaction from driving them and that suggests that the issue may go well beyond FFB. It's just something that's hard to put my finger on, and it may be a combination of things. The closest we may get to PCars2 nirvana is likely to be by following Jack's recommendations regarding FFB. I've reached the point where I'm confident no amount of tweaking FFB is going to provide everything I'd like to have in PC2. That's okay; other titles have their strengths and I'm fine with a diverse playlist.

Regarding FFB no per car save option was SMS´s biggest mistake. It was there in WMD but not connected under the hood
though. No idea why it was removed later, but the user still can tune cars and lots of global stuff if he wants to, which is a
big advantage of pCARS. AC and rF2 maybe more set it and forget but there are many cars especially in rF2 that are just
awful and you can´t do anything about it. In PC2 those odd Lambos and some others I was able to rescue even with a
global file. SMS tried to make it simple but this bloody Tone slider seems to overwhelm too many people still.
The ideal game would be just one global FFB level slider and all cars perfectly tuned ex factory, you may ask yourself if
that ever will happen.

Finally some news on the Fanatec DDs, but it looks like they aren't coming until summer, at the earliest, assuming they don't run into any issues during the beta test. Think I'm going to just order a V2.5, and then give the DDs time to shake out. Not sure I want to be an early adopter on this one. I'd rather enjoy the V2.5 now, give them the rest of the of year to shake out the DDs (assuming they even release this summer), and upgrade again in early 2019.

Good news is... they increased the torque on the DDs.

Im Not going to get it right away either ---> i will wait for black friday sale... it will then be out long enough for some bugs to be worked with FW and stuff.

You wont Regret the v2.5!!! its a Nice diff over the v2.

Yep. Given the delay, I think a little shakedown time will be needed.

Much more adjustable and much more space than the RS1!!!
Very Comfortable!!! I can finally do hand over hand wheel turns without lifting My shoulders from the back of the Chair

Same. I got a little time in with them yesterday, and his files felt a lot different. I'm not using his new ones, with the car-specific Tone settings. But the previous version feels different now. Although, I'm wondering if it was a corrupted Custom file. The last time I tried Jack's files was quite a while ago, before that corruption issue was known. Either way, I definitely have better slip feel now.

You´re missing some things then.

You were right. I tried the Vol/Ton specific files and tested my favorites/regulars. I'd say most of them felt better, a few, like the Porsche 911 GT3 R, felt outright amazing. Still, there were some that didn't feel very good. It's definitely a pain in the butt having to look them up, but now that I've tried it, it'll be hard not to. Thanks!

Although this game is up to date regarding most of it´s features, unfortunately dealing with certain things requires the reintroduction of archaic stuff.
