Description
Video: Jimmy Broadbent tries GTR2 again with a very early version of the PLR parameters that would eventually become this mod.
SHO Competition FFB for GTR2 is a GTR2/PnG3 mod of various UserData User.PLR file force feedback configuration parameters to achieve an improved, more modern force feedback feel.
- Please see "README SHO Competition FFB.txt" as it contains helpful details on install/uninstall, tips, questions, known/open issues, testing notes, changes, and development notes. You might be reading this file right now: I've included this note here for easy copy&paste to places like Race Department download descriptions.

Latest Release Notes
See README Release Notes section for older versions)
V13-beta1 (2024-03-04)
- [SimuCube 2 Pro] Default True Drive 2023.10.1 profile with Overall Strength 100%, Slew Rate Limit Off (Unlimited)
- [SimuCube 2 Pro] Disable PLR Friction and Damper to rely on just SimuCube 2 Pro True Drive Friction and Damper
- [All Wheels] Tuned Grip Weight and Grip Factor for optimal feel in both dry and wet. Previously, I had basically given up on rain driving in GTR2 and Grip Weight was tuned primarily for dry driving. Now, dry should feel almost the same but both should be delivering slightly more slip information (wheel going light in low grip conditions). You do need to commit to learning how to drive in the rain. I had to force myself to put in a lot of laps but after a while car behaviour started to make sense to me, especially with tweaked Grip Weight values. I think learning rain driving is worth it for overall driving skill.
- Authors are encouraged to try driving with these parameter and submit any changes you feel needed.
- [Moza R5] Add new profile: Moza R5 by metalthanos
What does SHO stand for?
SHO is the first three letters of my username (Shovas) but also happens to be an acronym used by Ford, which stands for "Super High Output", so I feel is an appropriately fun acronym for a sim racing mod :)
Why is it called "Competition"?
The aim of my improvements is always to improve the experience for a competition context, like racing real humans or racing AI, as opposed to say just hotlapping. It's hard racing where you really have to have the best simulation to really raise the immersion and experience. That means my changes might feel better or worse for some depending on what you want but I'm always trying to be better in "competition", hence the name.
