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

And if > you think that it isn't important, well, good for you. That is a different topic to the one I was disagreeing with, i.e. "FFB is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in this business. Without FFB, this is like audio without speakers. You cannot make a picture do a sound for you. " Drivers aren't reliant on feeling everything the car is doing through the feedback in the steering wheel. The sensation of rotation, the feeling in the butt as a rear tire scrabbles for grip or locks up, the feeling through the brake pedal of anti lock brakes engaging, the list goes on. Steering feel aids a driver but it doesn't stop Vettel and Hamilton wringing the best out of a crap Chevrolet Lacetti which is described as having "lifeless" steering. FFB provides some input but the way we interpret motion in a static simulation environment relies on other factors which are of far greater importance IMHO. For me personally I can relate simulations far better to what are one to one relationships with driving a real car. Having sensations put through an alternative feedback mechanism takes sim racing further away from a simulation in my view. That is why I compare those people who have only simulated racing experience and those that do both and have a real reference point. FFB can be switched off for many drivers and make no difference other than immersion. How the car appears to react in relation to the virtual world is absolutely key to translating what it feels like driving a car. FFB may help but I would completely refute the phrase "is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in this business" |
