Discussion on FFB

FYI, there is an extremely interesting discussion about FFB going on with staff member David Tucker contributing heavily to the dialogue on the iRacing forums. An excerpt:

There are two reasons why letting go of the sim wheel in a slide does not work. First, a lot of wheels are very non linear, especially with the smaller forces. We may be asking your wheel to turn with 0.5 Nm of torque, but instead your wheel is sitting there doing nothing until we get up to a higher torque level. This is especially bad with the Logitech wheels and can be dialed out (to some extent) with the min force slider, Logitech wheels often don't react at all until we ask for 10%-20% of there peak force. The end result is that we were asking for a smooth ramp up of forces but instead you got nothing for a while then bang you were hit with a larger force
