    If cash is not an issue you can spend your money better :p (Momo GP2 wheel :D )

    Yes classic Formulas in rF2 certainly offer far more feel, totally agree there and this is where it baffles me more when it comes to stuff like the GTR and vette and the guessing game that starts when you meet a hairpin for example. Because i can feel the tyres in the FFB in the slow stuff with the 60's cars, suddenly the cars become more predictable and easier to read as to when is safe to power out of the corner. This then doesn't add up as really, as you would think a car from the 60's would be the unpredictable car in these moments and not a modern pure race car where pure mechanical grip and aero are so high these days.

    Again i'm not sure if this is FFB or physic related, i really don't know, but it's odd. GTR and vette wheel goes limp basically in the slow stuff, no detail there to tell you what is happening.

    The current tire model seems to like less camber for most cars, this way the heat is spread more even across the contact patch giving better tire wear plus more grip. On the vette its around 2.0- front 1.4- rear, Works for me any way.

    :confused: Not sure what you mean.

    Let me explain a bit. I realise when the wheel looses friction, i presume it's to simulate the tyres slipping, ok i understand and get that.

    Problem with the mentioned cars though is there is no progression in the way that happens, you turn in and bam it's gone, no detail, nothing. Just goes, looses friction, it behaves as if you have just thrown loads of input into the wheel and the car has lost all traction completely and doesn't offer the progression/fidelity i would expect. But the main thing is really once you have committed to the turn and you are mid corner, that is then when i need the detail and just don't get it with those cars. It's exactly what i hated about rF1 and more recently pCARS, these two cars feel like cars from pCARS. In rf2 though they don't get funky on the limit like pCARS, but the slow stuff, they are like an SMS car.

    I meant that I'm absolutely agree with you! with the GTR and the C6 in the low speed corners, *there is almost no details in the ffb and the ffb is a bit flat ! the car doesn't tell you anything, specially out of the corners! the car doesn't give you any input, you can't know if it is the right time to "give gas"! I give gas, not because the car tells me via ffb to do it, *I do it because, by memory, I learned that is that point of the corner I have to give gas!
    You drive the C6/GTR not because they comunicate to you via FFB, but you drive them with the memory and this isn't realistic and right!

    I tried that and reduced rear ARBs which made quite a difference. :)

    It's not that complicated... if people are saying the green track grip is ok, then I suppose they're able to do decent lap times at this specific scenario. If the videos prove the opposite, so those opinions are not based in real arguments. All great laps I've seen on Youtube show the drivers fighting against the steering wheel like hell as they were driving a rally car. When I see clearly the rubber line on tarmac, the driving looks much more plausible. The hot laps on real onboard capturing show a totally different driving, when the drive has to do occasional corrections, but not in all corner entries and exits.

    The true is, we can always save the real road to have a believable grip since the very beginning of the race weekend, so the problem is more conceptual than practical.

    In addition, an artificially louder tyres sound plus a 5.1 sound system will help to attenuate the lack of FFB at low speeds.

    You were banned from pCars because you're a constant whiner. Your criticism isn't constructive.

    I was not aware of it, I was thinking it should be the opposite, since the the tyres heat is majorly generated during cornering and more camber should be more contact patch in corners. I'll give a try although it sounds a bit odd, at least you're racing in a very very long straights circuit.

    Agree with the opinion of FONismo in relation to the conduct of the two vehicles and information on the steering wheel.

    However, I can find some of these properties on the other vehicle too. Maybe not quite as pronounced but available and I think the main reason lies in the force distribution of the two axes (front/rear) and forwarding these to the steering wheel.

    The FFB in rF2 feels to much front axle biased.

    The rear axle is allmost non-existent on the steering wheel, and not only lateral also the longitudinal forces are not clearly communicated.

    For example the traction difference in a rear-wheel drive is completely absent or too late perceptible.

    Sometimes i get the feeling the front axle is nailed down while the rear has to low or even no weight and that isn't delivered adjacent forces. In some cases it feels like a pendulum effect starting from the front axle, the rear axle is rotated around without to feel any indicator.

    The dynamics of the rear axle is too vague imho. :)

    Sorry for my bad english.

    Yes, but the major problem is: the rear axle information is less from the steering wheel and much more of G-force plus visual. If you throttling and there's not the expected G-force pushing your back onto the seat it means the car is losing traction and you have to loose the throttle pedal. On the contrary, if you fell to much power in the middle of corner, before the car starts to understeer you're already able to reduce the throttling. Normally, the racesims just warns you the car is understeering when it's too late and there's always a speed waste on it. In real life, part of this wasted time is avoidable.

    Most FFB should be from front axle and I think this is correct in rF2 but I can see your point, when there's an oversteering the steering wheel should become lighter, maybe this effect should be more sharp in rF2.

    may it be a good idea to drop this subject for now and wait for the advancements to the tire model are there? If the tire model is changed, which is on the list, so will the ffb. Hence IMHO it doesn't really make sense to keep discussing this as things may be altered in the future

    That's true with the G forces. However, the rear axle steering behavior indirectly affects too, most recently over the bodywork. A certain part of rear suspension dynamics are still transmitted to the steering wheel in a real car. How it is atm in rf2 feels unnatural for a part.

    Maybe this can be solved by offering the option to the user by a slider to balance the force distribution from front to the rear axle and forwarding it to the steering wheel.

    @Rony1984

    I also thought that, is the tire model ready to go ?

    Hilarious comment from the person singlehandedly responsible for removing the like/dislike options, as you were constantly disliking people's comments and giving them an undue bad rep, so if anyone on this forum is immature, you're it by a landslide buddy, LOLOLOL.

    Why would it be altered without unhappy customers complaining?

    Because from what i see already ISI seem to know what they are doing, i have faith in them myself. Otherwise i wouldn't bother.

    Im glad the rep thing has gone too, it sucked balls lol

    You're looking for point and shoot cars hence your love for race07.

    I highly doubt ISI listens to these threads since there are no numbers provided. Only, "I can't drive it so it must suck" complaints. You want to see a good constructive complaint? Look at one of Todd Wasson's compalints in the iR forums. He provides actual data from ingame, not just a bunch of whine.
