Right. The cut you off because of this exact nonsense.

You seem to think clipping is some sort of spike in the force. It's
not. Clipping is when the wheel motors are being driven to their max
force for any extended period of time.

With these settings you recommend, the wheel will be clipping
continually. You might as well have a spring loaded wheel, because
you certainly won't be feeling any FFB detail. At the slightest
cornering loads you will feel a constant force from the wheel equal to
the max force output of the wheel.

I'll be interested to hear from anyone else who tries what Mario
recommends. I messed around with it for a bit just to see what would
happen. It went about as well as I expected.

Mario, has anyone else ever confirmed your results? Has even one
other person ever responded positively to your posts on FFB?

The FOV stuff is hilarious, BTW
