FIXED: Using T300RS, cars feel weightless, very poor FFB

[Jay Smizzle]

EDIT:
After going through wheel calibration in Pcars 2 and adjusting my FFB settings as Kondor999 suggested, I'm very happy with the FFB now:

In TM control panel:
All 100%.
900deg (of course).

In Game:
Flavor: Informative
Gain: 70
Volume: 70
Tone: 70
FX: 50

OLD:
My initial impression is that the cars feel like they have no weight and I'm guessing that maybe the default FFB settings for my Thrustmaster T300RS are terrible. Anyone have any recommendations on improving the FFB for the T300RS?

I'm not getting shift-feedback no, but I'm guessing the game rev-matches, not sure if manual clutch overrides that to have these raw clutch grabs you're speaking of.

There is a nice custom FFB settings file i found of a youtrube vid for the T300.
seems better then i have mananged to get with default setings and i am not even using a t300

Check this detailed guide about how to set the Force feedback. All FFB parameters are explained, it contains a custom FFB flavour file and FFB configuration for all cars and tracks ingame. It's available here at Steam as a PCars 2 guide too:

FFB, physics, sound. All suck ass. I refunded!

Oh, it's you again, are you on every thread?

Damn, this does not give me any confidence in Pcars 2.

One of the major gripes with Pcars1 was the poor and inconsistent FFB along with a dozen settings that just made it worse and it would seem that nothing has changed with Pcars2.

Two different FFB defaults, Immersive and raw selections? Why? I don't understand it. AC has nothing you can set except the gain level and the FFB is very detailed in it, it comes raw from the physics.

How can SMS still mess up the FFB? Is Jack Spade going to have to `fix` the poor FFB again?

I wanted Pcars to be much better than Pcars1 but it seems SMS know nothing about race-sim FFB.

Funny comment. You shouldn't have an oppinion until you actually play PCars2, don't you think?

The FFB is great in most cars. Watch this video and you may understand why there're different FFB flavours (what you call defaults). There're in fact 3, plus another one that is customizable. If you're an AC fanboy good for you, but this thread is not about AC and the fact that you haven't even played Pcars 2 and have written all that says enough about how biased you are.

So I cannot simply have an opinion about the fact there are two default FFB settings when other racing-sims don't? Or I cannot have an opinion about the two setups for cars, loose and grip, when other race sims don't need this and give you the factory or real world setup for cars by default? I can't have an opinion that the FFB isn't a massive improvement over Pcars1 when I have read more than a few reviews of people saying the FFB is still as `wonky` as Pcars1?

I form an opinion before I buy something based on facts, this prevents me from buying a game, disocvering I do not like it and having to go through a refund- its called `common sense` IMO.

Its ok to form opinons from others but you shouldnt spread how some off the youtubers you have been watching speaks about FFB as your own experience. its not your experience and you have no valid right to act like you even know how it feels in your hands. There are some who are negative and some whom are possitive about the FFB. You shouldnt cherry pic and choose your baised opinion from one view and act like its truth. What is good FFB? What is bad FFB? Why is it bad with having many options off different profile FFB? imo everybody likes different so having different makes you being able to get the FFB you like instead off one profile many prefer but maybe you dont. FFB isnt one thing everybody can agree on just like film and music genre. Everybody wants different out off FFB and when people review PC2 so called improved FFB its important to know what is improved to understand the difference. Imo you have all rights to be negative and form your own opinion but dont come spit ♥♥♥♥ on something you havent even played because you just dont know do you. You dont eat same food as them, listen to same music and watch the same movies as the reviewers you have been watching. Im sure you would all disagree in some areas so stop spreading others opinion as your experience

Why are there different profiles? because not everyone has a Fanatec steering wheel or something similar, with lower end wheels compromises must be made, Project Cars 2 enables the player himself to decide which ones, that does indeed result in more work to find something you like. No sim will have perfect FFB on non-perfect wheels.

there arent that many different popular wheel setups. i would expect the developer to have the right settings for the "popular wheels" implemented in the game.

[8mob8]

considering sims MOST sims to ge tthe cars to feel right need settings for each car....in the ferraris in AC i puut my wheel on 30percent sens but when i drive the bmws i put it back on 50

also adjust ffb inside each car to get it feeling right

the idea the dev would have the feeling u want dialed in is LOL
