Question for other DFP users.
What % force feedback, and what degree rotation do you use?
Profiler Settings
Rotation = 720 degrees
Force Feedback strength = 100%
Centering spring off

In Game
Rotation = 720
FFB strength = 20-25%
Profiler Setup:

Overall Effect Strength: 100%
Spring Effect Strength: 0%
Damper Effect Strength: 0%

Enable Centering Spring = OFF

Use Special Steering Wheel Settings = ON

Report Combined Pedals = OFF
Degrees Of Rotation = 720°


Ingame Setup:

Wheel turn: 720°
Wheel turn compensation: 1.00
Force Strength: 65-85 depending on car (FXO GTR for example 65, UF 1000 85)
driver:
rotation: 720
overall: 97
spring: 0
damper: 0
center spring: ticked and set to 0

lfs:
rotation: 720 (duh)
compensation: 1
ff: 80 (sometimes 40 for sliding practice)
#4 - ja9ae
Same set up as above but with about 60% force setting in the game.
Sometimes I think that might be a little too heavy, but sometimes not :-)
I thought my FF strength was low compared to most people, but if I turn it up that high, it can rip the wheel right off my desk LOL.
#6 - JJ72
profiler setup same as above but with only 400degree lock.

60-70% force with road cars and 45-50% with single seaters.

Profiler Setup:

Overall Effect Strength: 100%
Spring Effect Strength: 100%
Damper Effect Strength: 100%
Enable Centering Spring = OFF
Use Special Steering Wheel Settings = ON
Report Combined Pedals = OFF
Degrees Of Rotation = 720°


Ingame Setup:

Wheel turn: 720°
Wheel turn compensation: 1.00
Force Strength: Changes per car but normally over 55

I like the FF hard as I miss other cues like motion.
I don't know if the DFP's FF is as tough as black MOMO's but how can you drive with those settings? I have ingame FF at 25-35 % and profiler settings to 45 %. Sometimes it still feels too heavy. But as I said I have black MOMO...

Ditto, except 100% Force strenght in LFS
100% force, no spring / damping, 300 degree rotation, 40-60% ingame.

i never used a momo but at least compared to the ffgp the dfp is extremely strong
i just happen to like the feeling of having to fight the fo8 (heaviest steering as far as i can tell) a little and i find the strong ff gives more hints to whats happening than a weak one
Profiler-
Overall Effect Strength: 80%
Spring Effect Strength: 0%
Damper Effect Strength: 0%

Enable Centering Spring = OFF

Report Combined Pedals = OFF
Degrees Of Rotation = 270°


Ingame-

Wheel turn: 270°
Wheel turn compensation: 1.00
Force Strength: between 25 and 50 depending on the car

I used around the same ff on the momo, I think they're similar. I don't know why people use so much ff (like over 75), it feels unrealistic to me.

I am totally with you!!! I have a Momo and run the profiler at 65% I think, and ingame is 25-65%. My bro-in-law has the blue Driving Force (NOT Pro) and runs 100 and 100. It rips the wheel out of my hands!!

I don't know about race cars, but I've never driven a real car with that much force on the wheel, so very unrealistic if you ask me.

The DFP has very strong FF. I really have to crank the clamps up tight to stop the FF dragging the wheel off the desk when I fight it.

As others have said, I like to fight the wheel. Makes up for the lack of other feelings your body goes through. Also I find I dont try to resist the FF that much.

When the back wheels go then you need to counter steer but as the front wheels will track to where they would like to be to counter. So I let the wheel tell me when to counter and by how much and just correct near the end of the wheel tracking the fronts when you need to make the corrections.

I find it also lets me feel the front wheels giving out better with FWD cars with harder FF.
Oddly enough, my ff goes up to 200%. When racing i keep it at 100+

same here
what do you put your ingame wheel turning radius to?

do you put it any higher than default templates with 720°?
DFP settings:

Overall Effect Strength: 100%
Spring Effect Strength: 0%
Damper Effect Strength: 0%
Enable Centering Spring = OFF
Report Combined Pedals = OFF
Degrees of Rotation = always matches with car i'm driving

In LFS
Wheel turn: always matches with car i'm driving
Wheel turn compensation: 0.00
Force Strength: 100%
4.40:

Overall Effect Strength: 50%
Spring Effect Strength: 0%
Damper Effect Strength: 0%
Enable Centering Spring = OFF
Report Combined Pedals = OFF



in game: 700
ff: 15-20

ideal for me.

Set your DFP to 720 and wheel comp to 1 and you never have to change the DFP setting. It will always match the wheel of the car you are in. Although you will be able to turn up to 720deg it just doesnt do anything after the lock of the current car

is there a reason you use 4.40 instead of 4.60?

I strongly recommend an update, the 4.60 driver is so much better!

16x higher resolution, more subtle FFB, 2 more buttons and direct control over the wheel turn.
