Can FFB Clip be used after generating a LUT ?

Well, you are of course free to write a phd thesis on the topic. For whatever reason …

@Atle Dreier: yeah, of course it does make sense to adjust the FFB and the compromise it brings to your liking.
It's just that there are some guys who got really obsessed with FFB clipping …

 

As said by many others, it's a compromise. As a G27 user I have clipping at high torque bends on purpose so that I feel something on the bends with less wheel torque. Also using "clippless" ffb strength with a weak wheel will make it quite slow which is another problem besides the loss of detail. Although I don't understand why anyone would want any more than bare minimum amount of clipping with wheels that are able to produce sufficient torques to stay detailed and strong..

 

Oh I have no need to. Atle Drier has already written very long explanations and tutorials explaining scientifically what clipping is, how to minimize it, how to use his App. It's all scientific talk.

At the end of the day, the user's choice does not have to be scientific. That is completely up to them how they want to run their FFB settings. But discussion of clipping and FFB certainly should be scientific. Not trying to put words in Atle's mouth here, but I am pretty sure he feels the same way, since he went through all the trouble of writing the Application and all the tutorials and explaining it all.

 

While clipping is very scientific, the AMOUNT of clipping that is acceptable is always up to the individual. Even on my current OSW wheel I must accept some clipping in some situations, unless I want to have forces that are unrealistically weak. That is a valid compromise, and a sensible one, from a scientific standpoint.

 

He means driving the Lotus 98T at over 280 kmh while cornering

 

No, that's fine, it's basically only a very few classic cars at the Monza banking, if you enter at 320+kph...

Ok, it's pretty rare, but there IS clipping. Some of the peaks in AC is amazingly strong! In normal conditions you very rarely have clipping with 25Nm wheels.

 

I would never disagree there. If you're investigating something, then you should do it with the scientific approach.

This is what I was after.
Apart from that, I said that there is no need to be "overly scientific" about it.

It's just that overall this is much less of an issue than many users of FFBClip claim.

 

This, it's literally a torture and a real test of your physical stamina and your rig.
Other than that I've never seen OSW clipping when I use my regular 40% in game gain.

 

Well, you may think I am being pedantic, but you said [my emphasis]:

You are talking about your choice, but then you say there isn't a reason to be scientific about the topic...

So I guess you meant something like "I don't think there is a reason to choose your FFB settings super scientifically. Try the Anticlipping app and, see how it feels. Then disable it and set some different settings you may want to try. Use the settings you liked best."

For real though, a very high amount of clipping certainly isn't good. But I think the worst thing is, it seems there are a number of people who have no idea how to set up the FFB in general. They do not understand what does what in the settings, and they set up some crazy crap which results in a feeling far from reality.

 

Sure, I'm all with you that clipping isn't the best thing and should be avoided, don't get me wrong.

 

What's next, FOV talk?
