    I have a simplicity sw20v3 and it took me some months to tune the presets for each car I use after FF update, now when I read: "Sim-Plicity: set all wave types to sine" I really worry

    How does this change affect the FF of the wheel?

    Will the presets I have created work exactly if I don't edit them?

    EDIT: I've reviewed my profiles and except the flatspot have all wave types at 0

    I guess shouldn't worry then

    A Physics update for Group 4?
    And M1?
    Can you explain a little bit more about that?

    What about the G29 default settings? The current one is very strong and results in clipping. What is the impact of the second improvement to Logitech wheels? I am very curious. Can you please elaborate?

    What have you done tho the 934?:eek:
    It doesnt want to kill you every second any more.
    Its way more precise and stable. F.e. i can go now flat out after flugplatz and under the bridge at the end of Doettinger on Nords. And you dont need to wait endlessly to let the car settle down in the corner to make the next move.
    Dont get me wrong, i like it, you can actually race the beast now and battle with others than only with the car. You still cant do stupid things, but small mistakes wont kill you instantly anymore. Now it compares better to the M1, which was way more easier to drive in comparison.
    Did a Multiclass 70`s race on Oschersleben. Oh boy was it, fun 4 wide with a little NSU in the middle and also 4 wide with group 5 around me. AI is on point. Before in such a situation there is so much going on the it was most likely to throw the 934 away.

    The more i think about it, the more i like the changes. But it would be interesting for me was changed? Suspension?
    Again good work Devs:)

    To be honest, I think the recent changes to grass have made driving on grass way too easy. In Sonoma, you can pretty much leave the track at every corner exit without being punished because the grass doesn't really slow you down, and your laps aren't being invalidated either.

    That would interest me too. What exactly have you changed? You work with RL data. Were they not exactly implemented beforehand or did you only make driving easier for the masses? I'm currently offline to rate it myself. Please give us a statement.

    I didn’t even know that you belong to the Devs now… because I only asked them to make a statement. If the current status is closer to the RL, I have no problems with it at all. Have a nice evening.

    Of course it is.^^ That's why every sim feels different.
    The video is basically stating:
    Some approaches are harder to lead to good results and take way more time, but results then can be excellent, some approaches are easier, but could need some thinking out of the box, to archieve something more satisfying.

    It's close to a miracle after all, that there are people, understanding how to make electronics put something out, behaving somewhat like a tyre and making it able to run on a home entertainment device in the first place.
