Well, I gave a little thought about that clipping.
Yes, you are absolutely right, I do think that "clipping is some
sort of spike in the force", and there is a reason why I think it, and there
is a reason why you think I have constant clipping. Watch he
With my settings clipping occures ONLY during bumps on road, no sign
of any clipping during normal conditions. This is why I see clipping in
iRacing as some sort of spike, because I feel it only in those spiky
situations.
OTOH, you, with your damperless forces, which behave so erratically,
those forces uncontrollably (uncontrolled by damper) jump all over the
place, so, if you rise the slider just a bit too high, it is already in the
red zone. OTOH, probably you don't feel the bump clipping, simply because
your FFB setting is too low for that, and because of spiky nature of bump
clipping, when those forces became uncontrolled, they are already gone, a
spike is gone.
So, two of us have completly different view of clipping.
I feel it only on bumps.
You feel it everywhere, but probably not on bumps.
Lol, some kind of FFB settings you have.
