Exactly, the physics in the game are believable, IMHO. Could use some improvement but it's been getting better with every iteration. Even people who race IRL disagree on which sim feels realistic because the real world is way more complicated with all the options a driver has to setup a car.

I think a lot of people that are commenting on the "floaty" feel are actually talking about FFB not giving them the communication they are seeking, but are incorrectly using the term "physics" to describe it. :shrug:

"Physics", to me, is strictly is how the car and tires behave in different situations, and how the car behaves when a driver adds an input in an extreme situation.
Eg: If you do X with your inputs, then the car/tire should do Y in a specific situation. If it doesn't do Y (like IRL) but does Z, then the physics in the game needs work. This again has nothing to do with a "floaty" feeling FFB, IMHO.

I find the FFB in AMS2 has a very strong self correction and that conveys oversteer even when there's just a little slip. Custom FFB files fix this to a large extent for me.
