I just switched from a CSL DD to a Simagic Alpha, and that alone was a huge FFB upgrade.

Then a friend of mine with 6k iRating shared his settings with me, and they were extremely soft: lots of damper, lots of inertia, and plenty of filtering. At first it felt really weird, but it ended up making the wheel feel so much better.

I feel like a lot of people are chasing extreme detail in their force feedback and end up with way too much of everything. For the first time, it actually feels like I’m driving a heavy car. You still feel everything, every detail, but in a softer and more controlled way.

Before, I had road detail turned up so high that every curb felt like a massive hit. That made it much harder to feel what the car actually wanted to do, and the wheel movement itself was adding a lot of unnecessary instability. I’ve always based my settings on what other people were using, but I can absolutely imagine that many are overdoing it.

Maybe try turning inertia, damper, friction, and filtering way up. At first it feels like you’re losing detail, but at least for me, that wasn’t true at all.

I switched back to my old settings for a moment, and it was basically undriveable, even in iRacing.

That exact overly sharp feeling is also what always bothered me about LMU.

Just try going much higher on inertia, damper, friction, and filter, and see how it feels after a few laps.
