Some people prefer different iterations of SHO Competition FFB:

Shovas - v1.PLR:
- Original per-mod tuning
- Friendly for Non-DD and DD wheels

Shovas - v2.PLR:
- Discovery and fix of "FFB steer force output max" default value issue
- Still per-mod tuning
- Friendly for DD wheels
- Some non-DD testers prefer previous version

Shovas - v3.PLR:
- Universal PLR FFB params that should work for all cars so you don't have to switch out params anymore for different mods
- Friendly for DD wheels
- Some non-DD testers prefer previous versions

Shovas - v4.PLR:
- Tuning "FFB steer force exponent" to achieve a more rFactor2-like grip expression
- Also added 'road texture' feel here via "FFB steer vibe" params
- Friendly for DD wheels
- Some non-DD testers prefer previous versions

Why is it called "Competition" FFB? The aim of my FFB improvements is always to give me more information, more realistic information, and greater reliability of information through the wheel to increase my competitiveness when racing. That means my changes might feel better or worse for some depending on what you want from FFB but I'm always trying to be better in "competition", hence the name.

Thank you to GTR233, Jul's FFB Guide, SimBin, and others for assistance, input, reference, help, and inspiration in the making of this mod!
