If the force feedback I'm feeling was like that for everyone, people would be screaming about it, so I'm sure the problem is somehow on my end.

EDIT: just tested at another track, and the problem is still there. At Le Mans the wheel has no feel (like FFB is disabled as far as feeling the front tires goes) but jerks around like crazy, especially on the straights. I tried it at Malaysia on a whim and there there is no jerking, but it still feels almost like FFB is turned off entirely.


This may, or may not be the same problem I've been having. And it's not the first time. I have a G25 and most of the time it works alright. But I tried one of the prototypes at LeMans and it was worthless. First, the steering was so stiff it was an arm workout just to get it pointed and the FFB was pounding. So fine, off to tweak settings. Then, it was as loose as a goose, just flopped around, no FFB, and again I couldn't begin to keep it on the track. I went about it fairly methodical from there, but still no good result.

I don't know what's going on, but don't feel like the Lone Ranger.

I've mentioned it to a few people over at the ADC and there were a couple of interested parties. However it does overlap slightly with an ADC 'Big Race' which kicks off @ 3:00 PM Eastern US Time (race starts at 4:00) so that would probably rule out some.

I will keep mentioning it to people though. God willing I'm a certainty at this stage.

We had 10 entries for the 2.4-hour series closer to the 2008 SimHQ Le Mans Series. And now we only have 6. confused

There is a good 50% chance I can make it to the race. Is there a list of cars I can pick from or do I need to install the mod to see it?
