What is Force Feedback (FFB)?
Force Feedback (FFB) refers to the forces generated in peripherals like steering wheels, flight yokes, pedals, etc. that are often used by video games to present simulated forces that approximate the feeling you might experience in real life doing the same activity. You would, for example, feel similar forces from a steering wheel in a car that you would with a force feedback wheel in sim racing.
Tips
- Grip != Wheel Weight
- Past slip angle, grip can still increase but wheel weight decreases
- It not just about tarmac-rubber grip, it has to do with how steering suspension geometry translates forces into your wheel as well as self-aligning torque which is itself emergent out of other forces, geometry, and steering variables
