[Feature Request] Engine vibration cutoff while moving
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I love the feeling of the engine rumble when I'm sitting still — it's one of those details that really makes you feel connected to the car. But once I start moving, that constant engine vibration tends to pollute the road effects, which are much more important when racing. It ends up feeling noisy and messy, taking away from the immersion rather than adding to it. I use a 4-transducer setup to feel each wheel, mostly with road effects as I find them not only immersive, but helps me learn each part of the track faster.
Describe the solution you'd like I'd love an option that makes the engine vibration fade out smoothly as the car gains speed. Ideally, the vibration could gradually decrease from X% to 0% between 0 kph and a certain threshold (Y kph). This way, I'd still get that visceral engine rumble when I'm sitting on the grid or in the pits, but it wouldn't clutter up the more critical road effects while racing. For a simpler approach, the effect could just cut off completely after a certain speed — anything that keeps the vibrations immersive without becoming overwhelming.
Describe alternatives you've considered I can keep the engine vibration low so it doesn't get too much in the way of the others, but it's not ideal, and I always end up turning it off
Additional context I just can't stop thinking about when I jump into a car and hear the engines firing up for the first time, and feeling the engine vibration at the same time. Also coming back to the pit, and feeling all the huge vibrations from the road going down and feeling just the engine vibrations again. But then not having the engine being noisy while racing. Would be awesome.
with the RPMs effect you can draw your own response curve, where x-axis is the rpms and y-axis is the amount of feedback. I use a curve like this to achieve that effect. it fades out until 2800rpm (in racing the rpms are always higher) and it comes back in when redline is reached.
