Using simulation mode, all assists off. Thrustmaster T500, 900 degrees rotation.
I can get FFB feeling very good on asphalt, by removing Damper… But then FFB will go crazy in gravel and cross-country races. Way too violent and shaky, because the Damper is off.
There is no point in adding constant DAMPER into a force feedback! Have the developers ever played any real simulator like Assetto Corsa? There absolutely NO damper in the FFB of Assetto Corsa, it would be insane. Or any other proper simulators.
Consumer level wheels have so much internal resistance and slow low-powered motors already, making them sluggish by nature (compared to Direct Drive wheels) that it makes ABSOLUTELY no sense to add Damper on top of it! If you put Damper at 0, and overall FFB volume high enough, you can get FH4 feel great and responsive on tarmac. But then FFB goes too shaky, when you go to gravel or offroad. To the point of being unpleasant and plain annoying to drive. And if you put Damper, yes it cures the issue, but then Tarmac will feel sluggish and dead.
And since they game is a lots about driving outside of main roads, it shouldn’t be like this. Add separate level for offroad road noise, or just tweak something. Damper should never be required to use, it kills all tarmac responsiveness that these cheap wheels like T500 can offer.
