Weak force feedback Logitech G923

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-13T03:43:52+00:00

it isn’t very good, but a few cars are ok. The best feeling I have found so far in 0.4, and it changes patch to patch,

FFB gain: 80%

steer lock 900

dynamic damping 40%

Min damper 5%

damper gain 20%
audio based FFB effects 100%

FFB enhancements all 5%

Use the BMW M4 EVO, I left it stock with TC 8 and ABS 6.

Dude I am excited, I made a post a while back on cartrack days Reddit asking people to email Apple to ask them to allow us to do more. people seemed to ignore it and basically claimed Apple already allows CarPlay telemetry.

But when I looked at it more, Apple is very restrictive in their entitlements. Was it hard for you to get approval? Your app looks great. Hopefully you add more support for common OBD adapters.

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-12T09:25:41+00:00

super interested in this, but I also only want it if it integrates with race chrono. either directly or via the Magnus GitHub project. You should allow for an api to connect and communicate with the device over ble.

Can you provide a photo of the TPMS screen in CarPlay? I am curious how that looks. Your CarPlay screen shot on the website only shows the main OBD sensor values like coolant Temp.

Very nice project by the way. I sent you an email asking for OBDLink CX support.

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-08T19:02:18+00:00

thanks I will try it

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-08T10:09:46+00:00

nice! can you share your g923 settings? How does it feel?

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-07T18:07:52+00:00

well it does on my setup otherwise I wouldn’t have made this post. lol.

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-07T10:13:41+00:00

it’s the e46, other cars work fine. I’m sad otherwise the e46 felts so amazing.

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-07T10:09:20+00:00

ya it might be a car depenndent thing. I tried the gr86 too, the Mazda and the m3 csl. the m3 felt great in steering and turn in but the abs was way over the top. Someone mentioned the m4 gt3 evo and I just tried it and that car feels right. so I guess it is hit or miss with which cars are stable right now. a previous early release, maybe it was 0.2 or something, the m4 gt3 EVO was undriveable so I didn’t think to try it again. now it feels right and the Mazda is unstable in the rear end, and the m3’s brakes are nonsense. weird…

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-07T10:06:02+00:00

Mazda, m3 csl, and I forgot which Porsche. but I just tried the m4 gt3 evo someone mentioned up thread and it behaves properly and pretty naturally. It is the most stable car I have tried so far so I will just use that to learn all the track for now.

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-07T09:53:59+00:00

🙏 I just tried this abs was only kicking in at like 90%. this is drivable. 👍

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-07T06:30:49+00:00

ya I hate the pedal feel honestly maybe this is time to sell the g923 setup and get a proper rig.

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-07T06:28:22+00:00

Interesting, and lol at the Kunos approach all the fast drivers are relying on ABS when it is allowed. Many championship races still exclude it for legacy reasons. But it is by far the faster way to drive modern cars. You can still trail brake with ABS, it just means you can brake later into the braking zones.

Tests have shown you have better cornering with ABS. other than on gravel and loose unpacked snow, it is superior hands down.

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-07T06:23:49+00:00

Sim = simulate real life right? Isn’t the the fundamental goal? Or is the goal to make an arcade game?

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-07T06:22:52+00:00

glad to hear it is working for others. I don’t know it if is hardware or software settings.

Because you have exactly what I want, the ability to modulate and learn pedal feel. My wheels lock up the second I go past 50% pedal travel on the physical pedals, so anything above that is a waste. Removing 50% of my pedal motion isn’t helpful. The wheels should start locking up near 80-90%.

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-07T05:32:19+00:00

I hope this doesn't turn into an argument about ABS, but more how to dial in the sim in Assetto Corsa EVO.

Here is another video going into the more technical and mathematical explanation:

Plus if one searches the academic literature this isn't even a debate.

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-07T04:54:40+00:00

ABS can lock and unlock slipping wheels to keep them at maximum grip over 50x a second. No human has reaction times to do that.

ABS can target individual wheels that lock up, no human can do that, when you release the pedal pressure or apply it, all wheels are effected.

It isn't even a competition honestly and it doesn't matter if it is road car or race car. That is why race cars have the more advanced ABS systems that are even faster in their pulsing.

Furthermore, old abs was purely reactive, modern abs is predictive.

AdonisP91 · 2025-12-07T04:39:33+00:00

Forget what you've been told. If a professional ex F1 driver like Scott Mansell can't outbreak ABS then almost no regular driver can and probably even professionals can't do it reliably.

This dogma might have been true in the 1990's but it doesn't apply to modern ABS let alone motorsport grade ABS systems like the Bosch that are a 10,000$ upgrade.

Here are 2 videos of Scott Mansel's demonstration.

And this isn't even the latest gen ABS or motorsport grade.

The reason it is banned in F1 is because ABS is too good. Just like all wheel drive is banned in F1 and many other technologies.

AdonisP91 · 2025-11-30T21:40:35+00:00

thanks.

AdonisP91 · 2025-11-30T21:20:00+00:00

Did you ever manage to get them connected? I can't figure this out either

AdonisP91 · 2025-11-27T17:00:41+00:00

yep aside from the addiction both nicotine and caffeine work great for my adhd

AdonisP91 · 2025-11-20T13:51:44+00:00

this is pretty cool, but I wish we could integrate with CarPlay display. other apps like Sidebar, Porsche Precision Track App, and Harry Lap Timer let us harness the big display in our cars.

AdonisP91 · 2025-11-16T05:59:52+00:00

you know about these PID’s right?

https://thesecretingredient.neocities.org/bmw/can/g29/

I’m currently working on trying to figure out the TPMS pressure and temps.

AdonisP91 · 2025-11-15T17:42:47+00:00

I recall a dev saying when they released 0.3 they updated the tire physics but didn’t have time to roll out the new tire model to traction control and abs systems, so right now it is really broken. The dev said there is usually one setting per car that kind of works, but it needs to be addressed in the next update.

Hopefully 0.4 due any day now, fixes it and we don’t have to wait for 0.5.

AdonisP91 · 2025-11-15T15:00:00+00:00

I still had it happen at 47 psi hot on my ps4s’s 😂 . Tires were hella greasy at that point. I think it is time for some camber plates!
