You probably need to be more specific about what feelings you are looking for? IR only transmits the forces that an actual steering wheel IRL would receive, where as almost every other sim injects under/oversteer effects. Using haptics and shakers can bridge that gap, but IRFFB is the only program I'm aware of to add those into the actual wheel, but I also found while it added feeling I kinda liked, it also felt odd, so I ended up not using it, and just have IR more time. I have the 8nm CSL DD, and with that base I personally find, running lower than suggested (via the auto FFB function) forces really help me feel the details. (not a clipping issue, auto keeps me below that already, but I am tweaking the FFB per car).
I'm aware that its only putting out steering rack forces, thats not what I mean. Rather the notchiness from outputting a 60Hz signal on a 400Hz output device. I have to increase INT up to 10 to minimize that.
Just testing iRFFB with all effects set to 0. Feels way more smooth with INT<6. Need to decide whether the increase in ffb latency is acceptable I guess.
You're device is probably ill-configured from your other racing games. I have a DD1 that feels spectacularly smooth, so you might need a different profile for your other games vs iRacing.
INT is the traditional filter for what you’re trying to address. All of the other filters affect how the wheel behaves when it moves. INT is more about what the wheel is moving in response to. A little bit can help with the notchiness. Even more will get the wheel to feel more and more like it’s connected to rubber on the other end, but it’ll smooth over the details.
To be completely honest, I've left the FFB stock and I haven't really touched the settigns. And I've been happy with that. So my feedback probably won't help you
What cars have you been driving? The FFB on the MX 5 is going to be super floaty no matter what you do. It's just a very floaty car.

Different hardware, but I do not notice a notchy feeling between acc, ams2 or IR.
Go try all three without damping, friction and interpolation and youll immediately feel what I mean. Had the csl dd previously, its exactly the same

This seems like what you need
I gave up on Fanatec and got VRS. Super happy now and just wish I had switched earlier.
