Dan, Thanks for your help and I'll tell you that your settings "improved" the overall feel of the wheel because it reduced the twitching but it's still not right. I'm going to call the FFB in Forza 6 what I would consider normal. On a straight road the wheel is steady as a rock and as you enter a turn the "resistance" to turning increases naturally, if you turn the wheel too much for the corner and you start to lose grip you can feel the tires scrubbing and trying to regain traction and the entire feel is what I would expect from a real car.
Your settings reduced the odd behavior in Forza 7 but it's still nothing like the "normal" behavior in Forza 6.
So what I'm feeling now with your settings is that straight line driving at high speed the FFB is quite heavy and if you try to move the car left and right there is an unnatural amount of resistance in the steering. So I'm talking about very slight movements left and right at high speed. As soon as I enter a turn the FFB reduces dramatically and it's really like the steering wheel has no connection to the tires and the road surface. Unlike over steering in Forza 6 there is absolutely no feeling that the tires are scrubbing and trying to regain traction.
So the bottom line is that while your settings have reduced the unnatural "twitching" on straights the FFB when turning (slight turning down a straight or going around a turn) is completely unnatural and lacking in any "road feel".
I actually went back and played FM6 with the Viper tuned to 800 and put a few laps in at Road America. I think I understand what you are looking for but also don't know how to get that feel for you.
What you enjoy is one aspect of FFB and it is fun...but to me it feels like I am driving on a glass that's as level as a billards table. In real life the track will have many bumps bouncing the wheel around, plus your body will feel much heavier forces during a heavy turn at speed translating to a different feel on the steering wheel other than just the loss of grip but all at the same time. It is almost like a recipe, the FFB you identify with the most is the only ingredient to the FFB mix in FM6 as you have it set up. ( especially with the SHO at 100 ) in FM7 there are many more ingredients to the FFB in addition to the one you liked in FM6.
There is a balancing act to get it to feel good and having a Fanatec wheel gives you more options but there is also more options to balance making it more challenging up front...but once you get them where you want them they are pretty darn good.
I mean absolutely no disrespect when I say you are looking for a more basic FFB than what I am. Also I prefer Oval racing which, by itself, benefits from a little stiffer wheel set up than a road coarse.
**** you can friend me " Dan the Dartman " and go into rivals on FM7. You can choose any car division, and any Oval ( Daytona Oval day and night, Homestead Oval day and rain, and Indy Oval ) and I am in the top 20 worldwide in nearly all of them by beating my old FFB setting times and all since the new year 1-1-2019 so the wheel can feel good or at least what I am looking for. These are all done with someone else's tune that is posted until they unshare it as I am not a good tuner. This gives you the same tune in the same car same track following my ghost to compare the difference in the wheel. ( I already gave you my settings *****post #50 in this thread**** to so you should be able to feel it nearly exactly as I do on my wheel while driving these). Everyone has that perfect feel and that has become much more difficult to find but I do think it is there somewhere.
Today I went through every page of this thread and wrote down all the settings posted. I am going to see if I find a better set up than what I currently have for road course type tracks ( most of the tracks in the game 😃 ) to me those are so much harder than Ovals and a lot more places to make mistakes which I am pretty good at.😳😉 I already feel I am driving so far over my head and I am in the bottom 25% on my friends list in most tracks but Ovals.....no wheel of FFB is going to make up for my lack of talent...LOL
Anyway I will see if I can find a bit lighter feeling wheel today and then see how I like it on my Ovals....
I am not saying I don't believe you have issues but I know someone with a V2.5 and they are very pleased with what they found for it. That being said I don't think it's a Fanatec 2.5 bug....just have not found that sweet setting that you are looking for and that can be hard to find...but again worth it when you do though!
