    Hi,
    after buying some circuits, I realize that some do not return at the wheel what they should.
    In particular, running in mid-ohio and suzuka i can't feel the road under the wheels and the ffb is really poor.
    Why?
    Are you working on?
    Thanks!

    My steering wheel is a G25, I could post my profile, but I do not think it is useful because the problem occurs on these circuits, not on all.
    Normally I feel regularly the bumpiness of the road, but mid-ohio and suzuka seem pool tables, totally dumb on steereing wheel!

    Try a higher "vertical load" setting in FFB menu. This makes the road bumps more pronounced in the steering wheel.

    As said on other thread: Suzuka is a smooth track IRL. It's not as bumpy as other tracks like the Nurb.

    I'm already using a fairly high "vertical load" value, normally it's ok but not @mid-ohio and suzuka, were my distinct impression is that the bumps were not modeled.

    I can't talk about mid-ohio.
    Don't know the track and didn't take the time to test it on R3E :rolleyes:
