I've found a similar effect with my G27... I haven't had time to fine tune it yet... I've been wanting to get my head around the physics a bit better first....

But here's how to change your name....

go to

C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\.rFactor

open the file named rFactor.name with notepad.

edit the names... The top one is your first name, middle is last name, and bottom is nickname...

Save it

right click on rFactor.name and select properties

make it read only and click ok


The next time you load the game it'll have your new names...

I've found a workaround for the violent shaking/rattling people seem to be experiencing.

There's a line in the controller.ini that's right above "Steering torque filter" called "Steering effects strength".

I've lowered that number from the default 10000 to 7000. Doing that combined with setting Steering torque filter= 4, I no longer have the massive jolts and rattles from hitting curbs or going off track.

Note: I changed those values in BOTH my saved controller profile AND the controller.ini

Note2: I also had to turn up the FFB in-game to compensate for loss of some of the "feel" while driving. I went from 50 FFB in-game to 90. Now the FFB feels great and the curbs and off track are not so violent.

I read this morning that Tim said not to use that appdata edit as it might cause problems in the future, and they are working on a fix.

POTENTIAL FIX

OK this worked for me:

Open your player.PLR file and find this line:
Flush Previous Frame="0" // Make sure command queue from previous frame is finished (may help prevent stuttering)

Change the 0 to a 1

This works for me, its a helluva lot better and the main thing its Driveable at Mills in the Cockpit of the Megane in a race with rain!

There is also this line:
Record To Memory="0" // record replays to memory rather than disk (may possibly reduce stuttering, but at your own risk because memory usage will be significant for long races)
Would think turning off Replays would have the same affect as this?

Why did'nt I check the PLR file first?!?! :facepalm:

...such as the G25/G27 you can try increasing this value in your Userdata/player controller.ini file (if you saved your own profile you would have to change it there as well):

Steering torque filter="0"

The range is from 0 to 32.

This will filter the FFB effect over a series of frames, which will smooth out the feedback and reduce the rattle. Please note that as you increase this value the FFB may start to feel a bit "spongy" or "numb" and that it will increase latency.

The reason you don't feel/hear this rattle in many other sims is because they by default provide some filtering. By default we do not.

The value you set this to will be down to personal preference. If it feels good to you, and the rattle/noise is acceptable, then go for it. We did some testing locally and came up with some different values.

One of our internal testers felt 4 was good. Luc settled on a value of 8. He felt any higher felt to numb for him. I personally like 16. I could still feel the car, catch it when it got loose, it didn't affect my lap times at all, and I didn't perceive any latency, neither visually nor in feel. Yes, it did feel more on the numb side, but after a few laps I found I liked it actually.

If you got a good framerate but notice a lot of stutter, you might check this:
