Real Feel settings for those that use it

**Mike Tribble** · 11-26-2007, 03:33 PM

I use real feel AND Leo's plug in in the ILMS cars and the feel is AWESOME

BUT you have to set it up right... Attached are some images to help that process.
I have a Logitech DFP but it will work with any Logitech wheel

In Windows controller you need to set the parameters like this.

In rFactor I set it up like this. NOTE FFB set to LOW .. this is CRITICAL.... then you can adjust amount of ffb you want with slider.

You will also need to have the proper values in your realfeel.ini file which resides in the ROOT of the rFactor folder.

These numbers work for me:

[General]
RealFeelIsOn=True
ConsoleEnabled=False
SpeechEnabled=True
KeyRepeatDelay=0.100000
SteerForceInputMax=11500.000000
ConsoleRepeatDelay=0.100000
MinSpeed=10.000000
LogEnabled=True
DefaultMaxForceAtSteeringRack=1500.000000
DefaultSteeringDamper=11500.000000
DefaultSmoothingLevel=1
[LM-GT2]
MaxForceAtSteeringRack=-800.000000
SteeringDamper=11500.000000
FFBMixerRealFeelPercent=60.000000
SmoothingLevel=0
[LM-P2]
MaxForceAtSteeringRack=-1500.000000
SteeringDamper=11500.000000
FFBMixerRealFeelPercent=60.000000
SmoothingLevel=0
[LM-P1]
MaxForceAtSteeringRack=-400.000000
SteeringDamper=11500.000000
FFBMixerRealFeelPercent=60.000000
SmoothingLevel=0
[LM-GT1]
MaxForceAtSteeringRack=-600.000000
SteeringDamper=2500.000000
FFBMixerRealFeelPercent=60.000000
SmoothingLevel=0

NOTE that I run only 60% realfeel mix

Finally I just load Leo's plugin into the plugins folder and DRIVE.....

When you get it right you can "dance" on the edge of grip and feel the wheel go light as grip fades and make the corrections necessary to hold it right on the edge. Sweet stuff for us FFB fans....... which I will soon NOT be....... Just bought an ECCI 6000GTS system...... I wanna be like Bob!

Mike,

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!

What a difference the right settings make! The car is much easier to drive and you can feel it when it starts to lose grip...

I've picked up almost a second a lap at Adelaide just testing with these settings.

Thanks again...

Ok Henry.... IGNORE EVERYTHING I SAID.. I am badly mistaken.. you DON'T want to use realfeel...

Mike, I've been giving some serious thought to buying an ECCI...are you saying the RealFeel doesn't work with an ECCI correctly or what did I miss?

**Don Fryman** · 11-26-2007, 06:24 PM

Tim,

You read it correctly, there is NO FFB in ECCI equipment......but once you use ECCI controls you will never want to go back and will wonder what all the hoopla is about FFB

The ECCI equipment is expensive to buy but it will be the last set of controls you will ever buy for yourself, these things are built like a tank and make sim-racing most enjoyable.

After racing w/ and owning an ECCI setup I'll never even consider anything else

**TimCollier** · 11-26-2007, 08:59 PM

I'm starting a thread for everyone to chime in on what controller they have....maybe make it a public poll

**Rob Lowe** · 11-26-2007, 10:11 PM

I very much like this real feel, it seems to have made me a little faster and the wheel feels smoother that it did before.
