Well, I just tested it. With Ford Falcon it is very easy to see what
is going on. BTW, if you click with right mouse button on slider, you'll get
"What's this" box. Clicking on it, you'll get explaination of what this
slider does.
It is very simple, with 100% you get direct contact with FFB,
anything less loses contact with FFB, and introduces slack, which behaves
very much like a dead zone, only it isn't dead zone, but just a lack of
sensitivity.
50% isn't linear, 100% is linear, anything else is less linear.
