    This is still the wrong thread. I answered in his thread anyway. *(I haven't spelled out the Reset FFB location, but when there's never any FFB I don't think that's the main solution anyway)

    Thanks for the reply. I was able to get the wheel configured properly and make a trace file (see attached). When I go to a Track and click on Drive sometimes the wheels goes nut back and forth and I exit. I click on Drive again and its fine. I start driving, no FFB. I click on the mapped button for Reset FFB and I get some FFB in the wheel, but its all wrong, nothing like I remember in the past when I considered rF2 FFB the best. I'm out of ideas on what to do next. Any recommendations? I'm completely out of ideas.

    Car specific multiplier in 100% is too much, a good starting point is 60%, you will need a FFB clipping bar to fine tuning, this can solve part of the problem.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Lazza recommended I go from + 90% FFB to - 90% (blue). I made this change, plus the Multiplier at + 60% and it works perfectly now! How can I add a FFB Clipping Bar in rF2? I've seen this in ACC, but not in rF2? Thanks again for your help.

    Simhub, tinypedal for live FFB graphs. Telemetry (DAMPlugin [motec], or other solution) for analysis after the fact.

    FFB strength and Vehicle specific are combined. Many cars have appreciable clipping on 100/100, so often changing the FFB strength to around 70% (yes, -70% with your TM wheel!) will give you a good starting point. Then just change the vehicle specific when you see a reason to.

    Set your wheel itself (TM software) to 100% strength unless you know a good reason not to.

    Hi Lazza - Thanks so very much for your feedback and help. I can definitely turn up the Gain to 100% in the Game Controller. So when you say Simhub, you're referring to this site:

    https://www.simhubdash.com/

    I've never heard of this before. It sounds amazing and works with all of my Racing titles too. It seems like it worth buying a license too. Thanks again. :)

    Yep, it has multi functionalities.. and you can start for free.. it works with almost ever sim.

    Talking specifically about ffb clipping bar, if I remember correctly you will need to edit a dash or create a new, I don't remember to have one out of the box with the ffb clipping bar.

    Currently I prefer to use tinypedal, it works only on rFactor2, but you don't need to edit or configure anything, it works perfectly out of the box, and it's lighter too.
