I think having the ability to adjust the wheel weight for steering wheels would be very helpful in allowing users to be comfortable.

This would be helpful particularly because after the 1.12 update we have a new way of adjusting the force feedback. Now we can adjust the force feedback maximum strength which are the effects from bumps and curbs and collisions ect. There's also an adjustment for force feedback center sensitivity which effects how quickly or strongly the wheel centers it self.

This leaves out one extremely crucial part of this equation, Wheel weight. Wheel weight is simply how heavy or how much resistance the wheel has when its turned. Everyone seems to have their own preference for how heavy or light they like it, so it makes sense to allow users to adjust it.

Before this last update to get the desired wheel weight all that was needed was to turn the force feedback adjuster up or down as it seemed to adjust all of the wheels parameters. After the 1.12 update were seemingly left without any way of adjusting the weight.


Like this post if you agree!

Very important issue. The feedback detail is definitely improved in 1.12, but the strength is way too light even on max settings. On some cars like the Lotus 97T and Formula GT you can drive with just your pinky.

PD could take a leaf from Codemasters book. In Grid Autosport you could adjust the following settings:
Wheel deadzone
Wheel saturation (amount of usable rotation)
Steering linearity (sensitivity)
Vibration strength (when hitting kerbs, walls, cars)
Wheel strength (centering force)
Wheel weight (self explanatory)

If a simcade game from a small developer can do it, I don't see why PD couldn't.
