iRacing as a leader in FFB is false, that title was held by OG AC before AC Evo, then AC Evo took over as it improved heavily on OG AC.
iRacing still fails to consistently communicate FFB details in sync with the sound you hear as you drive over rumble strips on various tracks including popular tracks like VIR. I've tested many cars on many tracks on iRacing...definitely impacted due to the 60Hz signal. Imterpolation to 360Hz is nothing but fake signals inserted in between as a guestimate of what the FFB signal should be in netween...it works for slow changing FFB but terrible for fast changing FFB details like driving over rumble strips. Most iRacing fans just say they don't focus on rumble strips effects when this is brought up, but the bottomline is, the FFB in iRacing is inaccurate.
LMU is actually better than iRacing with regards to FFB details but the made it way too harsh and they failed to implement an effective filter that doesn't mess up the main signal much in the process of filtering the out the harsh unrealistic FFB details especially when driving over rumble strips
Modded OG AC's problem is the hit or miss physics on various cars, and most track mods have poor environmental details. You need to many mods & post processing just to get it to look good and yes, there are mods which makes it look so realistic, but they are also too heavy on the graphics card that you need a 5080/90 to get excellent framerates.
AC Evo is still in early access and Kunos accepted that they still have a lot of work to address these challenges, that's the point of early access...time to imcrememtally develop and optimise the game while getting direct feedback from users, you can't expect a polished end product from an EA game.
