Instead you get a true feel of forces on the Tyre weighting the wheel. Running a high Tyre Load setting eliminates the need for the drift effect to weight the wheel. Fanatec users should turn off Drift on your wheel settings. Not only does it give you so much more detail about you grip level, it also adds some weight to the wheel. Honestly, this setting and Tyre slip vibration are just about as important as SAT in this game. A lot of videos and posts show people running Tyre Load really low.

This does not seem to be the case with running SAT, Tyre Load, or the individual vibration settings over 100.Ģ. Anything over 100 on overall feedback/vibration in game introduced clipping and dulled the detail from what was happening to the car. A few things I noticed once I got locked in were:ġ. It took a looong while for me to get it feeling right. I use a CSL Elite 1.1 and Clubsport v3 pedals on an Xbox One X (yeah I know.30fps sucks). It is the main complaint from the hard core sim racers with DR2 FFB. You can feel the tires load up into a turn or slide. The one key factor that WRC 8 has over DR2 in FFB is Tire Load. The FFB is actually pretty good, but it takes a good bit of time and patience to get right. I would LOVE for WRC 8 to be better than DR 2, but atm i dont see it. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to spell it out so people might be able help rather than start accusing me of trolling. Seems like a really good game, with great physics on both dirt and tarmac, i just don't feel it very well. Recommended settings were from gamer muscle. I tried with both the default ingame settings and settings recommended in the interwebs. Now, im willing to accept the idea that my FFB settings arent perfect. The only real feel i get is when the car is sliding and the counter steering force occurs. This is modeled IMO very well in DR 2, but i feel absolutely nothing in WRC 8, theres no feel at all. When going fast over crests and bumps you'd expect the steering to feel heavier and lighter as the car either gets light going over crests and jumps or gets heavier going into dips or landing from a jump etc. I know its subjective and all, but there are certain things I feel arent quite up to what i would expect from a car. With the settings below I feel just as physical connected as with RBR but with added details Modern WRC cars have power steering and the steering wheel is very easy to turn and this is also very well replicated in the FFB and Road Feel with WRC 8. FFB is a very subjective thing and I like it to feel like a real car and not like a heavy duty work out session:
