What wheel do you use, VBR?
Logitech G25 Racing Wheel, you?

The spring is progressive yes, but there is no feedback perse. The spring behaves the same way with every car and is stiffer the farther you push it, but it doesn't respond differently to conditions on the track.I didn't try it yet, but I have it ordered. It's not just stiffer, the stiffness is variable based on how hard you press the brake. People that tried say they went to ABS 0 because the feedback is so good
I've been doing some more testing. I tried every Max Torque value from 1-10 (keeping Feedback Sens at 10), then tried every Feedback Sens value from 1-10 (keeping Max Torque at 10). Still no luck. 10/10 still gives the most resistance, but the difference is minimal.
Just out of exasperation, I also tried the Amateur/Professional/Simulation steering assists under Options. They pretty much do the same thing as locking rotation (Amateur = smaller degree). Also tried power steering ON, which just cuts the resistance when making large rapid see-sawing movement with the wheel. So by this point I've exhausted all the possible settings permutation that can be changed
I then went and tried some more different cars:
Trueno SS (ok), Impreza GC8 (ok), Formula GT (very bad), Cizeta (good), Red Bull Junior (very good), Red Bull X2010 (good, weird considering X2014 is very bad), Senna WSR (very good), Honda HSV (ok)
The Red Bull Junior and Senna WSR are the real highlights. They're almost as strong as pre 1.12. Definitely the best feeling cars I've tried so far 👍
Incidentally, the Lotus 97T's very light steering has enabled me to go almost a second quicker on the Brands Hatch Senna event. Normally I'd struggle to even get gold, but just now in my 2nd try I smashed my old record. Takes all the challenge away from driving it
I've also just done the new Seasonals, and I've noticed the steering getting progressively lighter throughout the race
I've just about accepted that some cars feel like crap, and some are as if nothing's ever changed. Obviously my biggest gripe is with the Lotus, since that car was an absolute beast to tame, but now you can drive it around with a pinky. But most other cars are actually reasonably okay. Looking back at how much the handling changes from v1.00 to now, I'm sure we'll see more changes the the FFB. Hopefully PD will patch things up over time.
Just a query: How old is your T500RS, and which version (GT5-branded v1-v5 or unlabeled, GT6-branded)?The "funny" part about that is that the lotus is one of the only car where I found the ffb good (T500RS) because it's less heavier than the others...

DFGT.
DFGT USERS:
Since the update I’ve driven a few tracks a dozen times. At first it was sort of jarring as my FFB would vibrate on what I’m assuming is the road. I felt this to be unrealistic and annoying.
The 3 different settings on quick menu:
Someone please explain the differences between them to me so I can make concise adjustments? Thanks
The "funny" part about that is that the lotus is one of the only car where I found the ffb good (T500RS) because it's less heavier than the others... but still really heavy (FFMT@1 and FFS@3).
Each wheel has some who like and some who dislike the update. The guys who dislike it say its broken, the guys who like it think its improved.
I really hope any "Logitech" change comes as an option, so the unsupported Fanatec isn't needlessly changed or spoiled.
Agreed. I want to enjoy my Logitech, but I don't want to see Fanatec or TM users suffer either. Options are what we need. Unfortunately PD isn't one who likes to give its consumers choice.
I actually like the improved feedback detail. And I've gotten used to the lower resistance already. But in some cars there is literally ZERO resistance. It's like the wheel isn't even plugged in. That's not a matter of like or dislike, it's just plain wrong.
Like what cars for example? I've been focused so much on the Nismo GT-R I haven't driven much else. I'm post 1.12 but pre Hotfix.
Logitech DFGT old model from 09Lotus 97T and Formula GT is the worst. If you look at my post a few pages back you'll find more.
The problem is only for Logitech wheels though (mostly G25/G27). If you have a Thrustmaster you won't find anything.
That's why I'm likely gonna go with TM in the future as it seems to be the horse PD/Sony is betting on.
Funny thing with the update and the patch. I was one of the biggest complainers when 1.12 came out (I was using old DFP with FF on 8-10). But I did drive some cars to see if I could get used to it (with 10/10 settings). I liked the improved feel but I still missed the resistance on rotation. When they released the hotfix I found myself lowering the FFT to 5-6 to retain some of that new improved feel.
Currently running 5-7 FFT and 7-9 FFS depending on individual cars.
