Force Feedback [Hardmode]

[Guest CronoTR]

Hi, i don't know if there is such a topic here so i start a new one...

Could someone explain to me (maybe Kunos ) what the Hardmode is for? What is the effect of enabling Hardmode? And finally what are the bestt ffb-ingame settings when hardmode is enabled?

hard mode is a "F1 oriented" approach to power steering, the idea is to give a stronger feedback at low downforce levels that remains manageable at high downforce levels. This is simply achieved through a non linear response in the wheel torque/steer torque curve that works a bit like a "compressor" in music terms.

the perceived feel, at the end of it, is an harder steer in the initial part of the turn (thus the name "hard mode") that looses some definition in the high slip angle area, which is right where you'd want it to detect understeer. So it is a trade off between a more "solid" feel and a more "definite" feel at high level of grip/slip angle/downforce.

personally I'd turn it off (at it is off by default).
