-----------------------

There is absolutely no difference from using both Wheel Friction & Tyre Friction at "0" or "150" whatsoever. It is either bugged, broken or completely useless.

I've messed up and down with the various in-game sliders for my G27. Nothing is good. Nothing feels like a car at all.

[Grumps]

Hmmm, ive played about with some of the settings and the feeling is very muted. I have also looked in the Dirt Rally files to see if anything can be changed, but there isnt a lot there.

[Cuddletauren]

I'd advise you to not copy settings or configs from older codemasters games. this force feedback implementation has strayed far from the past

[Grumps]

Yeah for sure, i wondered if there were any hidden FFB parameters, there isnt unfortunately.

[Grumps]

Ive had a more in depth look into the XML files and there really isnt anything to tweak. I guess we have to wait for a patch................. suprise suprise..

Hi

You can change in hardware_settings_config.xml in documents/My Games the following line....wheelVibrationScale="1.0" for wheelVibrationScale="10.0" and vibration will up

Could someone confirm that this helps ^ I'm too disgusted to even start this POS game atm

Terrible FFB compared to Dirt Rally. Tried every setting, nothing fixes it. The FFB is either

A) Bugged
B) worthless by design

I really hope it's option A.

It gives just SAT (self aligning torque) and general steering resistance. Everything else is pretty much dead. Hitting bumps, almost nothing. Landing from jumps, almost nothing. Road texture... nothing. Dirt Rally was MILES ahead, in terms of FFB....lot more detail and road feel.

if this is the intended FFB, the "community early testers" who gave a green light to this mess, must have been all amptuees, with no arms

[Grumps]

I might have something to share in a minute. Just testing a few things

[Grumps]

Ok so.

Go to steamapps/common/dirtrally2.0/input/devices and open "device_defines" with notepad and you should see this :

For my T300 i found the following line and changed the default "ffb_force=0.9" to a collosall "ffb_force=8.0"

Yes, 8.0

Some of the wheels you guys have may not be listed with the line "ffb_force", maybe you have to add it ???

And these are my in game settings :

Give it a tr. For me there is definately more feeling of gravel etc through the wheel, it does need a bit of fine tuning though

[Hyperion Biga]

Thanks for the effort man, but I think I'll pass for now. It's Codemasters job to fix it and I'm gonna wait for their patch. Dirt Rally FFB feels good out of the box, with default settings.

[Adam's SimPorium]

Oh this is interesting, nice one, the line for my Simucube doesn't have any mention of FFB

[Grumps]

Maybe backup the original and then try adding the ffb line afterwards (like how some of the others are.)

[Adam's SimPorium]

Will give it a go and report back
