No, you said:I said no current "sim" is even close to GTR2.
And I disagree, I've tried both and a don't think R3E is neither far from acceptable or even far from as good as GTR2, in terms of physics and FFB I find it fully acceptable and not far from GTR2, in terms of immersion, graphics, sound, feeling and multiplayer I find it far better than GTR2. But as I've said, in both of our cases it's nothing but opinion, the difference is that I don't state mine as undisputable facts insinuating that everyone that doesn't agree are wrong.You new guys, should give a try to GTR2...then I'm sure, you will realise how far this, and other "new" sims are from "acceptable".
I suggest you get some FFB/Wheel profiles from other guys with the same wheel and check if you see any difference.
As me, I see you have a good FFB setting for this game, as you can feel it as right as it can be.I don't understand the FFB/physics issues you guys having with RE3. I own all sims and find RE3 one of the top in this area. Adding the great sound of the game and its giving immense immersion and fun.
II guess I'm secretly hoping that someone will chime in and say "Ah ha! Here's the super secret FFB combination that eliminates the floatiness and makes it feel like you're driving on tarmac instead of water!" But so far that hasn't happened.
But... R3E? R3E has the worst FFB of all actual sims, IMHO.
RE3 was definitely floaty in the beginning and I was OMG no please! So I understand what you mean as I use to hate it and was so frustrating. But that is all gone for me which is strange really since you still have this issue...
Don't know what to tell you mate...maybe you have some old installation files? Maybe you should remove everything and reinstall? It's definitely not floaty to me....I have iRacing, rFactor 1 and 2, Assetto Corsa, GSCE 2013, Truck, nkPro, pCars......telling you...I have them all....
I think you should find a mate living close by and try it at his place? Maybe un-installing and installing will make a difference too.
I tried reinstaling, I`m checking FFB after every update, I`ll tried every possible setting, I tried manual config editing (like I`m used to do in GTR2 and GTR Evo), I`ll do reinstal after next update but right now only solution for me was lowering FFB so low that it is no longer fun to drive so I`m not driving, waiting ...RE3 was definitely floaty in the beginning and I was OMG no please!

When I brake hard or late, they scream I and I know I'm skidding....if I under/over steer I immediately feel it through the wheel (not sure if I hear it though...I'll check when I get home)..but I feel it so much that I manage to correct immediately.
Also, which car are you trying so that I try the same too?
I
I have most of the cars, the floaty feeling varies from car to car but it's always there to some extent. I've only fired it up once in the last month or two and that was to check out Sonoma, don't recall what car I drove (one of the ADAC 2014's I believe).
I feel the wheel shake when I brake hard, that's not an issue. It's when I'm in a turn and start to slip that I'm not feeling the necessary feedback (it's almost like the feedback goes away). I also hear the tires scream when they lock up, it's the scrubbing from taking a turn near the limits that I can't hear and that's a very important sound to hear. For instance, if I start a slow slide there is no sound from the tires, if I don't control that slide and end up in a full spin I don't hear any sound from the tires until the very end of the slide and at that point it's too late. This creates a sense that I'm driving on a non-friction surface like water instead of a sticky/rough surface like tarmac. (And I have all the audio options turned down really, really low except for the tire sounds, still doesn't help much.)

So I just did a test with the Cadillac CTS-V.R and hit it hard around the track.......and........I felt it slipping around the corner and I even heard the tires screaming.....the wheel also gave the me feedback I need that the car was loosing the back so that I could correct just in time......
I'm so sorry that you are not having the same experience I am
