I have an older Momo red wheel, and have tried every setting in game for the FFB.. the Force is very good.. but feels like a small dead zone, and i get a shake/vibration down a fast straight..
This also happens on the new ECCI FFB wheel, not as bad, but you can still feel it wanting to shake..
this is the only bad thing i have to say about NetKar for the moment, other than a lot of low quality addon tracks..

Well, I wouldn't say a *lot* of low quality addon tracks. :)

Do you get your FFB problem with the latest B update? That sorted out an issue I was having that could be described as feeling like a small deadzone (I believe it is the "unrealistic wheel steer" thing that sorted it, whatever that is.)

Nix on the "unrealistic wheel steer" thing, apparently that was some sort of graphical issue combined with poor English language skills.

Anyways, my problem was sorted. If your problem is not sorted by the B update, you might try playing with the FFB settings (mysteriously placed under the 'VIEW' sub-heading of the setup menu). Every car comes with a gain setting that is way too high for my wheel and tastes, and that sort of thing can lead to vibration. You also have friction and damping settings that can probably be used to sort it.

Couldn't say about the deadzone issue, except that the "friction" setting could probably be used to alleviate it.

everything i tried did not help.. if i moved the others it would get worse, so i left damper and the other set to 0%, and yes i have the new update.
i didn't say all the addon track.. but most of them, and they have about 20 or so now.
but most are not worth adding...
too bad this sim is lacking in so many areas.. great physics, but just too many other bugs, that is why you only see very few people online.. i guess i'll just have to wait until rF2 is released..

Yeah, it's brilliant at what it does well (namely tire physics and ffb), but the rest of it is still pretty weak.

Agreed.

Finally found the over done FFB settings today, the thing was twisting my arms off!!
