I’m using the latest software which happens to have the default sim settings that I like.<br />
My first question is what does the Hz slider do (be gentle I’m no technician). I read that iRacings FFB works at 60hz so I changed from 50 to 60.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyway, onto my main issue…my main drive is the L49 in iRacing.  I drive other cars and have no issues.  However, I tried the IR-18 fixed at Road America and on the straights my wheel was rocking back and forth to a point where I couldn’t focus<img src="https://beta-forums.sim-pli.city/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f602.png?v=25c5d59099a" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--joy" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title="😂" alt="😂" />.<br />
What is the cause of that.  I will probably avoid the car.  I used to have wheel centre weight turned on but found it just gave me a pendulum effect in the MX4 advanced if the rear stepped out.</p>

those settings were great.  I've responded further on the iRacing forum.</p>

<p dir="auto">Bandwidth dictates how "tightly" the motor is driven. An analogy would be a car's suspension. More comfortable the softer it is set but with the likelihood of overshoot, more precise the harder it's set but less comfortable overall.</p>
<p dir="auto">The default Bandwidth setting of 0.5 is chosen as a compromise between accuracy and comfort but with the IR-18, the theoretical added discomfort of running at 2.0 is offset by the reduced effect of the oscillatory behaviour inherent in the input signal.</p>
<p dir="auto">For cars without as extreme a FFB response as the IR-18, you want the Max Speed value as high as your preference dictates. It is a secondary tuneable i.e. it modifies the behaviour of Weight by altering the threshold at which it starts to be applied.</p>
<p dir="auto">If the car is sufficiently well-behaved (e.g. the Formula Vee), Max Speed @250 &amp; Weight @0.25 is possible</p>

Ollie, I read and replied to your post on the iRacing forum.  Thanks.<br />
What effect does Bandwidth have on the whole?<br />
Also, the speed of the wheel, is it better to have it faster or slower?  Default is at 200.</p>

<p dir="auto">There you go guys, thanks.<br />
For iRacing I set the wheel value at 20Nm and the Force/Scale doodad I usually auto but most cars are usually within 10Nm.  I added the 2% weight recently (prior to this request). I usually drive the L49 and that can take 20-22Nm of Force with my 7 caster setting and 10:1 steering ratio.<br />
I’d be interested to know what the Hz setting does (I read iRating use 60Hz) and someone on the forum said reduce the speed and have a narrow range of weighted centre.  I’ll wait to see what you think.  It’s the only car I’ve experienced this in and I’ve driven lots!</p>

<p dir="auto">Can you post a screenshot of your Settings &amp; Advanced tabs in your desktop app as well as your iRacing FFB settings?<br />
We'll configure accordingly at this end to see if we can replicate the behaviour and work out why IR-18 behaviour differs from other cars within the sim.</p>
