Default New PC's FFB

Mario Petrinovic:
BTW, fimaly I figured out about Centering Spring. It should be at
the same value as Overall. I didn't find it before because they both have to
be at the precise value, otherwise there is no benefit of them being the
same. Thankfully, my last Overall was at close value, so I tested around it.
My last Overall was 109% (the settings were 109/100/100/100), and the value
where they both have to be is 108% (so, "the right" settings are
108/100/100/108). With these new settings I was the first in fixed setup
sessions that I drove today, and even did my personal best without much
trouble. I aldo tried some non-default (non-100%) Spring and Damper
settings, but these were not good. I tried to lower in-game (by the same
percentage moving both, force and damper), and this is good only if you
lower (from maximum) it by little.

Ok, this was wrong. It looks like the old formula is still working.
The formula is:
Overall x Spring/Damper = Centering Spring.
This means that with 108/100/100/108 I couldn't lower Spring/Damper
because 1.08 (CS) / 1.08 (O) = 1.00 (S/D).
But, I found out that 108/100/100/108 works well because Overall
should be 108 on my system, but Centering Spring is best to be kept at 100.
So, now I am using 108/93/93/100, because 1.00 (CS) / 1.08 (O) = 0.93 (S/D).
Also, FOV was wrong (again, so easy to measure it, yet it is always
wrong, lol), and now I say that the distance from eyes to the edge of table
is 35 cm.
