Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

Hey LugNut,

FYI I re-did those things you were missing and added them in to the latest version 6.6.5.10, along with a small bucket of other improvements.

Scratch that, fixed a few more things & added off-road detection to 6.6.5.11.

And an additional alternate scrub variation: https://forum.reizastudios.com/attachments/silver-raw-6-6-5-11-alt-scrub-zip.10991/

 

Mate, if you can link me that FB post it would be highly appreciated.
I think my T300 is dead / close to dead, today I had full loss of FFB plus loud pitched noise, had to unplug the wheel. It still works, but I think something inside got damaged / broke. I do have warranty.

 

Noticed the 'kerb-pull', is this new to this v6.6.5.11 (wasn't in the previous ver)? Is it removed in 6.6.5.11 alt-scrub? How can I lower it?

 

HI Sherpa,

Right, it's too much right now.
You can lower by removing these 2 pieces:
(+ 1 FL_bump_kerb)
and
(+ 1 FR_bump_kerb)

I will add some variables to control it better and make it possible to go even lower.

 

@sherpa25

New version 6.6.5.12 fixes it.
Variable at the top for "kerb_pull", set to 0.0 by default.
Scrub adopted from the prior alternate version, much less intrusive & nice.

Karsten,

I do not have the time to test all the releases you are doing with the custom FFB, but I follow all of your posts and can only say I am so impressed with the things you do and the patience you do them with.

Many many thanks for your efforts and hopefully these files will inspire the Reiza-team to merge these with the default FFB ingame. You would deserve the credits for that!

 

Thanks again. Was there a 'kerb_pull' equivalent in the previous version, and if so, what was the value? Perhaps I might put a tiny bit.

 

Hi Sherpa,

No, there was not.
But the latest is better anyways

 

Hi Karsten, thanks for your files ! Erm, how do i change the gain within the txt file. I would like to make it more or less the same as in the Default profile so i cab switch “seamlessly”

 

Hi Peter,

Some cars match more than others. It's unfortunately not possible for me to make them all match well, since I have no information from Reiza and am not aware of any way to pull out information that would make it possible to match them up well. Also even if I had that information, the FFB calculations are not the exact same. It could have been somewhat achievable earlier by aligning with the Reiza Rack forces, but at some point recently Reiza made their own Rack very private. It used to be accessible from the custom ffb file, but that is not so any longer, instead we get what the rack information there.

Best,

-K

 

Hello,
I always seem to have a bit of vagueness during a slide and trying to catch it. What would I need to change/adjust in the file to have a more pronounced feeling of under/oversteer? Using Silver raw high end on osw.

Thank you

 

Hi Elcid,

You can try and change this line:

(balance (* balance vel_mag_k_pull))
to this:
(balance (* balance vel_mag_k_pull (+ 1 over_steer)))

It might help a little.

 

Hi Karsten

6.6.5.14 is fantastic, I hadn’t tried the latest few, as been trying in vain to make a seta tire based custom file.
Nothing seemed to reduce the harsh road feel in default or various custom files. But this new scrub system seems to work much better for my wheel.

I need a little tightening, and fall off ,but this game ..cough ..Sim isn’t so bad for dead zone.
is the strengthen low no longer applicable?

 

Has the ingame damper setting any impact on 6.6.5.14 or do we leave it at 0?

 

Yes, the in-game damper now adjusts damping for the custom file as well.
Setting the slider at 50% makes it "1", that is neutral, as it was before.

 

Hey Kuku,

Happy to hear it works on your base, strengthen low has been removed, yes, instead the LFB now works to strengthen the center more gently than the old one, the idea being that strengthen low & "old lfb" are merged in to this new lfb control.

So try and adjust lfb up and see if it works.

 

And what happens when set at 0?

 

As I remember(I'm out) I made it so slider at 25% is 0 and slider at 0% is -1. So below slider at 25% it acts opposite, just like fanatec negative damping. It was for the fun of it but also to learn if any ody would actually ever use it I made it that way.
Technically, at 25%(the 0 damping I think you ask about) it will not contribute any damping positive or negative, so it will not actively precent the wheel speed accelerate no matter the speed it already is at.

 

Maybe you should put this info also on the first page ;-)

 

That's not super obvious. Some documentation would help unless you are planning to fix this.
And damn, the last preset is a total FFB transformation. Thanks for doing this, resurrected written off title for me. What in game settings do you use with SC2?
