    Accuforce user here. Are there plans to implement a soft lock feature for when the limits of steering range are reached? Currently, to get lock at the steering limits, the steering range needs to be set in Simcommander and the wheel recalibrated in game PER car. Because it’s so cumbersome, I don’t even bother but really miss this feature (eg RF2 implements this well).

    There already is a soft lock implemented. If you set your wheel to 900 deg then it will set a soft lock at the max rotation for the car you are using. The soft lock currently is limited to the gain set in the game though. So if you set maximum strength in your wheel control panel but only say 20% gain in AMS2 then the soft lock at 400 deg will be weaker (1/5th of) than the wheel driver lock at 900.

    I've heard a rumour on the Simucube forum that Reiza may be looking into ways to do full strength bump stops, but how that is progressing, if it is tied to particular hardware, or even if possible at all, I don't know.

    I think this could be already possible if it works the same way like in pcars2. There I found the lock stop too weak, too.
    I used the custom FFB file from Jack Spade in pcars2 and updated it myself.
    There is already a lock stop part and I added a muliplier:

    #Lock Stops -----------------------------------------
    (stops (bumpstop output 0.1 1.0 0.1 0.0))
    #(output (+ output (* stops device_lock_stop)))
    # by Viper 07.02.2018
    (output (+ output (* 1.5 stops device_lock_stop)))

    The last line is updated by me and I simply added a multiplier of 1.5 to the lock stop force.

    But the problem is that we don't have the FFB settings file for the default preset.
    That means you have to use a custom file from someone else
