Hi. I've tested 9.30.2020 Logitech Edition on G27 and I think you're getting very close to nailing it, so well done! I tested with 911 GT3 R 24h at Bathurst and Brands, Formula A at Hockenhem, all assists off, deadzone/falloff 0.17/0.02. It's quite good and useable as is, but here's some specific feedback.
I ended up with in-game sliders at 80/30/10/30 and importantly there's a reasonable playable range for people to tweak those numbers to their liking. Getting the gain/volume balance right is to some extent user preference, but a gain of 100 does introduce a fair amount of clipping in FFB meter. In my testing a useable range for G27 users would be 60-90/20-40/0-20/20-40.
The difference/ratio between on-road bumpiness and hitting kerbs is still too mild, but I was able to adjust that by increasing kerb bump from 40 to 200 (and could be higher) and reducing road scale from 0.004 to 0.003. So perhaps kerb bump 'gain' (for want of a better term) needs to be increased by one or two orders of magnitude for Logitech?
It would be good to put back the scrub settings in the Zen sections (8) and (9) for people to adjust. I didn't have any problems with scrub/understeer/braking/abs vibrations. But putting the settings back would let people who don't like it so much reduce them. I guess they are exaggerated effects compared with real life, but i find them very useful for sim racing.
Finally, when you release your hands from the wheel on a straight the wheel does that weird pendulum thing swinging from side to side and shows almost a square curve on the FFB meter. Increasing the fx slider past 50 makes that pendulum effect much worse. But at 30 it was ok and not really a problem. It does it with your default file settings too. Do you know which part of the FFB causes that? If it doesn't throw out other effects, it would be ideal to eliminate/minimise it.
Thanks for all your work!
Thanks for the feedback... your observations are really good. Yes when you set the gain down you are essentially preclipping the output. If that feels better on your wheel then that’s probably the best solution. Either way, the wheel can only output so much.
Wow! 400....
The pendulum is going to be strong on this version because of the exaggerated forces that had been given to v06.15.2020 and resurrected into the requested "Logitech" version. The oscillating wheel on straights happens on all versions, but are getting better when more balanced forces are used on the later version, not the Logitech version. You may want to test and tweak v09.20.2020 as a G29 user just emailed me telling me that is his preferred version over the Logitech version. Let me know if you work something out with that. That will be a lot more balanced in all regards. Not over-exaggerated, but a better simulation experience and not over-pushing you G wheel. Add your tweaks and let me know.
Best Regards,
Pops
