FORCE FEEDBACK
- Increased main force strength in force feedback calculation.
- New default settings for force feedback to make it appear less weak (only applied if default force feedback settings haven't been changed).
- Stronger force feedback on mud (Moorfeld).
- Improved force feedback timing and responsiveness.
NOTE: Force feedback gain is still only 75% by default. We have saturated the signal better with the default settings now, but if you prefer stronger force feedback, increase gain to 100% first. This is likely the case if you have a gear or belt driven wheel, or an approximately 5Nm direct-drive wheel. If you have a strong direct-drive wheel with over 10Nm of torque, we suggest reducing the gain below 75% unless you like it really strong.
