Natural FFB

Description
Hi guys, I avoided playing Wreckfest for years because I couldn't handle the weird FFB. Also all the available FFB mods felt kind of wrong in my opinion.

It felt like some artifical force was constantly trying to get the steering wheel to the center position. But not based on real forces or weight trasfer of the car.

I'm taking a completely different approach with my mod. I have completely disabled all artificial centering forces and all forces are completely based on weight trasfer and gyroscopic forces instead.

In my opinion, it now feels very smooth and realistic, you can hold the car perfectly in drift. Countersteering and weight transfers feels very natural.

I have a Thrustmaster T500RS steering wheel, but the mod should also feel good with similarly dimensioned steering wheels.

For best results, set your steering wheel to 540° and use between 65% - 100% FFB and fully linear steering in-game. I've uploaded some pictures to show my settings.

The question is, what's the connection between those parts, and the FFB config file?

So I did a little more testing with the error, and it's not directly related to the Nexus RX front bumper. The parts that seem to trigger the error seem to be the tournament reward FRONT LIP SPOILER and tournament reward FRONT GRILLE.

I'm sorry, but I can't do anything about those crashes. The mod only changes the config file for the FFB and nothing else. I don't understand how a bumper can lead to a crash, when a FFB mod is active.

As @resignator mentioned, mod causes the game to crash with nexus bumper issue.... otherwise this should be an optional part of the base game for FFB.... I can actually feel drifts with my car now on my Fanatec wheel.....

At least on my wheel, the difference to the original FFB is like night and day and not just some "suspension clonking" like you described.

Are you sure the mod is enabled and you used the settings from my screenshots?

It's still a improvement over the games ffb. I can now feel my suspension clonking around a bit on dirt surface. How did you do this? I would like to mess around with a FFB mod of my own.

You don't need to change anything except for the FFB strength maybe.

Just look at my screenshots above. The mod already disables any artificial forces and only uses physics based self aligning torque for FFB.

The mod doesn't have a config file to mess with.

Its been so long since i used mods or really played this game. I now have new direct drive wheel and the default FFB is horrible. Hoping this will fix it. I am curious, how do you change the FFB settings for the mod? Is there a config file somewhere to mess with?
