congrats to slightly mad on the forza demo having terrible ffb! Apparently it is still really bad

Wow. The Forza 7 demo looks amazing on my PC, but holy moly the force feedback is absolutely terrible! There's a huge dead-zone, even when I turn it to 0, there's no more than 180° of rotation (lol, seriously?), there's input lag, and the cars oversteer like crazy without giving any indication at all. I can control the RUFs without assists in Project Cars as reference, but in Forza 7 the Porsche oversteers on a friggn straight line at 200 km/h with I turn the wheel 10° - wtf?!

No wonder I was disappointed with my expensive Fanatec wheel that I bought several years ago just for Forza 3. That game just isn't designed to be played with a wheel.

Understatement of the year right there..... :lol:

That's one main reason why I'm a controller user. No console game I've tried with a wheel has ever had good enough FFB (or physics, more commonly) for me to bother; I'd rather just play with a gamepad. I've always used my G25 for Live for Speed, but nothing else on PC is my kind of sim or lean enough for my laptop to run.

If I find the physics in PCARS2 to be the real deal, I may consider getting a Drive Hub for this game. :) It also depends on more user reports about the FFB (particularly from someone with a Drive Hub and older Logitech).

This guy uses a G25 (he says it sometime during the stream but I don't know when exactly).

Is Drive Hub something that lets you use older Logitech wheels on PS4? I googled it but found nothing. (Didn’t look too hard though)

If so, I would recommend get a new wheel. I think it would be a very risky move and may just have you end up buying this hub and get either poor support and FFB or some weird game behavior.

I know what sort of devices you're talking about, but the Drive Hub has gotten overwhelmingly positive feedback. Check out the GTP thread.

I would sooner just play with a controller than invest in a new wheel. I even have a spare G25 because Logitech sent me a whole new set under warranty after the first one had a faulty shifter. I'm set for a long time. :lol:
 
Test Italia


great first impressions, today I will do other tests

at fine video i tried a pit stop ...

unfortunately I remained in the box, IAN is a known problem?

Not a known problem. the first time we've heard of it actually. If it's not a crazy one off we'll fix it of course. Great show in general though ;) Even if the pixillation on the youtube condense is horrendous!

We'd need more info about that (can't watch the video, sorry). I think by default all damage will be repaired during a pitstop, which means that you can be in the pits for a long time.

I think this has more to do with PS4 being too slow and barely able to stream the game at the same time as playing it. I’m actually surprised it can do it at all with how slow the consoles CPUs are.

you're right, you tube is not great, my connection does not help, 1 mb in upload = (very sad.

Thanks for the quick answer .
You are always available, congratulations, this honors you ...

I really like the 3 feedback settings
raw, informative and immersive.
I believe the best is informative but with some modification.
Compliments.

Watching a few more videos myself, I think the issue of the Pit Crew not appearing, even though they are enabled (like you could see in Ozzie's stream) seems to a be a real one too. The same thing happened in aTTaX Johnson's Long Beach multi-class race as well and he mentioned that the crew was visible on other tracks, so this could well be a track dependent issue I guess.



Also, it may not be technically a bug, but seems the automatic tire choice isn't the correct one for all cars. Last night Jimmy Broadbent had a live stream with Gamermuscle and by default the game put them on hard Pirelli P Zero tires on the Aston Vulcan, which doesn't seem right given the power of the car and that it is not road legal. As expected, the car was an absolute menace like that, hardly controllable. The Trofeo R is probably the better choice by default.



I think this has more to do with PS4 being too slow and barely able to stream the game at the same time as playing it. I’m actually surprised it can do it at all with how slow the consoles CPUs are.

IIRC the current consoles have a dedicated hardware to encode the recorded videos, so it shouldn't use much, if any CPU resources. The quality isn't great though, which is the downside of real-time encoding, even when done in hardware.

I have the Drivehub in combination with a Logitech G25 and a TH8A on the ps4. Works very good with AC, Dirt Rally, and F1 2017.

no damage was present on the car
