Default I was trying not to expect too much from rF2, but...

Well, I don't know, yet. For now I set my system pretty correct (I
have to fine-adjsut some things), but I am yet to research on how much
different graphyc settings affect latency. It could be that the majority of
latency can be from wheel. I'll see.
One way or the other, NOBODY talks about that, and when I talk about
that, I am ****ed all over in iRacing community, INCLUDING iRacing company
as well. Well, if you ask me, this ISN'T a way forward, just the opposite.
Now, NOBODY will discuss ANYTHING regarding FFB, except STRICTLY if it is in
the line of using only Centering Spring, because of the fear of being
EXPELLED out from the community. I mean, Middle Adges is a little baby
compared to this situation. Lol, terrible.
One way or the other, it is on sim developers (not on ME) to DEVELOP
tools to overcome this situation. If everybody can set their systems the way
I have it set, it will be much more satisfying to them, and with little
further development (standardization, and things like that), this can be
done even much better. INSTEAD, we have a JOKE of FFB existing in sim
communty. Well, I've been beaten by this community, and this can make me
laugh, but I am not a bad pearson, and I really enjoy sim racing, and this
makes me feeling bad.
I mean, did ANYBODY even dare to write something in the line that
hight of screen affects FFB, in iRacing forum. Maybe some people are aware
of that, but they are affraid to be burned on a torch there, and they simply
stay quiet. Otherwise, who knows what can happen. iRacing can even shut down
their account if they talk too much, who knows, lol. Terrible.
