Just my two cents on GT7 and its FFB. First, I love playing GT7 for what it is. Looks beautiful and it’s simply fun. The FFB is not garbage, but it’s flawed. In some ways it’s very flawed depending on what car you’re driving. Forget about driving high-downforce high powered cars. While you can tune the DD+ base and the “IN-GAME” settings to make it drivable, it’s nowhere near as fun as driving street cars, GT4 and GT3 cars. Basically, the more powerful the car, the more the FFB flaws surface. #oscilationcentral LOL
For me, these flaws have become more apparent recently because I’ve recently dived back into the PC sim racing world after a 13-year hiatus. I’ve dived deep into LMU. It’s fun and I can’t wait to see how they eventually bring it to the PS5. This game has made me realize that FFB on GT7 is lacking detail specifically as it comes to “road feel”. In GT7, there’s simply no road surface texture road feel. It’s nonexistent for whatever reason. The game is still nonetheless fun to play, but I believe it can be so much more fun if PD stepped up their game when it comes to the FFB. If “TRUE-FORCE” is to be believed to add an extra level of detail, I can’t wait to feel it. But I sense wheel use is not PD’s main priority even though they have that FANATEC partnership. At the same time, we must remember PD is a JAPANESE company. Historically, JAPANESE companies are slow to react to market conditions. FULL FORCE has been painfully slow.
