I have found it useful myself. I only have an old DF Pro.
I found the settings very daunting at first and also felt there were too many options. So I did a lot of reading & worrying that I would be unable to find the "right" settings. In the end I felt the only way I was going to achieve anything was by testing myself.
I took one car, drove it hundreds of miles on it's default settings to acclimatise to the default feel, it was very rough and at about the maximum force. It was really hard work. Then I remembered I had been trying to fake some wheel resistance in an old driving game. So I turned off the logitech profilers centre spring and other settings, and did another 200 miles
Then I turned on the telemetry and watch the clipping graph. I used that to initially dial down the global tyre force. Then I played with each of the in car settings 1 by 1, driving between each etc...
With just the Fx,Fy,Fz, Mz and master scale I was able to get a fabulous amount of detail from my ageing wheel. I saved that across all setups.
Now when I go into a new car I always do some laps watching the clipping graph and have found multiple times were I have to adjust the individual vehicle to eliminate clipping.
Now I think nothing of getting into a new car and fiddling with the FFB a little.
Yes, these settings are great. But they shouldn't be per car! They should be global settings. For the reasons I have stated time and again in the last few hours.
