7.3.6 Force Effect, Spring Effect, Damper Effect
FOR range: OFF 010 … 120
FOR default: 100 (%)
SPR range: OFF 010 … 120
SPR default: 100 (%)
DPR range: OFF 010 … 120
DPR default: 100 (%)
These force feedback modifiers give you the ability to change the force feed-
back signals of a game (only applicable if game uses these effects). In theory
there are three types of signals which a game can send: Force (pushes the
wheel into a specific direction), spring (pulls the wheel towards the dynamic
centre) and damper (creates friction). Not every game uses all types of effects
and some games even use only one type to create all different feelings. Using
your Tuning Menu in the Podium Racing Wheel F1® you can increase or re-
duce these different effects individually.
Note:
If SPR is set to low values or ‘OFF’ the Podium Racing Wheel F1® will
not be able to move the attached steering wheel to correct centre position after
calibration run.
IMPORTANT:
Only set these values higher than 100% if the force feed-
back effects are clearly not strong enough and weaker in comparison to
other games. When the game sends full effects and the wheel is set to
100%, the device will work at its power limit. Pushing up one value to a
very high number or even raising multiple values will result in higher load
on the motor and increased heat development.

7.3.7 Natural Damper
NAT DMP range: OFF … 100
NAT DMP default: 050
The natural damper will give you an additional damper which you can adjust
from OFF to 100. At 100 you will have the strongest dampening effect which
reacts to the acceleration and angle of your steering. If you turn it OFF, your
steering will have no additional damping, making it easier to turn the wheel.
The Natural Damper is a useful setting to reduce unwanted wheel oscillation.
Oscillation is typically caused by latency in the feedback loop, and is more
apparent in racing games that are not optimised for high-torque motors. The
