Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

I made these changes:

(kerbs_surface_scale 1.3)
(kerb_bump_scale 2.0)

If you open the file with a text editor like Wordpad, then find those lines (ctrl+f) you can adjust them as you like. They are annotated so you can see what they do. Annotations have a # in front of them. Remember to save the file & relaunch the game. HTH.

EDIT: I will probably do some more tinkering with those values^. I also changed this, but I may change them again:

(master_rack 0.8) #Rack and road scale.

Have a look around the file. The annotations by Karsten are really explanatory.

 

Hi Magnus, just in case (pardon if you already know this), avoid using Wordpad to edit config files, because it can introduce weird characters in the file when saving if you're not careful. Use Notepad or similar (clean text editors).

 

I didn’t know that, so thanks for the info. I’m hoping to get a look at it tonight but as I won’t be able to get in game until Tuesday I may leave it until then before I make any actual changes, just so I can check each one.

 

Hi guys, I'm trying to download the T500 recommented ffb file but it says it doesn't exist anymore

 

Hi use the 3.8 file I use default in thrust master profile in game 100 50 50 50 custom_settings-silver-raw-rfuktor-3-8-change ffb in car if wheels to heavey

 

Hi, I use the Silver Raw - rFuktor 3.9 Alpha - Momentum Rack 6.1 with the PeterS_G920 tweaks from the previous version, this for me is on par or even better than rf2 now!
You can find the custom ffb file and my setting attached to this post

 

Hey man. Thanks for doing this. Your setup feels great! I am really enjoying but I think I've found a bug? Any Porsche cars will get the steering wheel to turn all the way to the right very quickly then it locks there. I've tried the gt3, gt4, gt1 and the cup. As soon as I try to leave the pits this happens. I've tried a bunch of other cars and no issues there. Something to do with the porsches it seems. Thanks.

 

Got to say, tried these in conjunction with the file and it was revelatory - feels brilliant. Thanks to all who contribute to this effort.

 

Big thanks, I'll defo give it a try

 

It shouldn't happen .... everything is ok here .... the changes are only on the values but the file and the line are practically as a rFuktor 3.8 ... no changes that modify the steering ratio or the like ... have you tried to restore the default setting of the cars??? If that's not enough, try increasing the stering ratio in the setting car ... or if not fix recalibrate the steering wheel???
Or do you use a different steering wheel sensitivity??? And finally you tried to delete the documents folder ... sometimes certain oddities happen after an update and maybe it happens to you after 1.1.4.5??
Let me know ... however this evening I try again to test

 

3.9 Alpha3 early @Karsten Hvidberg release
Tuned by Stakanov for LowEnd Wheels and Logitech (G920/G29/G27/G25)
- Date 04/05/2021 -
In game setting select "Custom" with this starting value (for Logitech):
GAIN 80* - LFB 68 - FX 70 - DP 68.
*Then, in the car setting, use +/- % of Gain for car to taste!!

And with this version (further refined) I think it has reached the maximum obtainable from the rFuktor 3.8 to which the new outpout function Thighten is added (obviously personal opinion) ...

@kkdrummer : i did specific tests on 3.9Alpha2 and Porsche cars and everything is ok ... try this last Alpha3!!!

Edit: @Peter Stefani: In addition to the others, I changed your excellent tightening TR 0.002 and TF 0.0002 and increased it a little bit to TR 0.0025 and TF 0.00025 ... it still remains consistent

 

@AndreiC this custom ffb is amazing, it gave AMS2 a new life. I'm really enjoying it

 

Hi everyone please could anyone offer any help or settings for Fanatec CS 2.5 I have tried a few files on here but cannot get close to anything feeling good yet, where am I going wrong?

Cheers

 

As a file surely the excellent 3.8 by Karsten in the post #2709 ... but not having your steering wheel I suggest you search on this thread the word FANATEC and I think you will find the recommended values both in game and in the driver panel of your steering wheel

 

Excellent! I will give it a try tonight. Just to confirm though, your previous file did work fine today after I deleted the ffb config file from the Ams2 folder. So this new one should work fine as well.

 

Please post your settings, both ibgame and from fanatec stuff and let us know which car you're trying.

 

Absolutely yes you can go for sure (I was almost sure that your problems depended on something else) ... also because I only change the values of the items ... the file structure is always the original one .... to sum up in this 3.9 Alpha 3 (compared to Alpha 2) I only slightly changed these entries:
- (tighten_range 0.0025)
- (tighten_falloff 0.00025)
- (center_relax 0.25)
- (under_steer_scale 0.025)
- (exaggerate_front_load_feel 0.20)
- (exaggerate_front_load_feel_hi_df 0.10)
- (slip_crossover_pos 0.08)
- (accel_feel 0.8)
- (brake_feel 1.6)
- (front_drive_torque_feel 0.8)
- (bump_feel_follow_weight 0.25)
- (brake_feel_follow_weight 0.35)

Only small changes then ... but in my head they worked very well ... I hope you like it

 

Hi there here are my settings:
Fanatec settings are:
SEN: Auto
FF: 100
DRI: -2
FEI: 60
FOR: 100
SPR: Off
DPR: Off
In Game:
63
35
45
40
I was trying the Corolla Stock Car 2021
The car can be quite tail happy and moves around alot but i just dont feel anything, I rely on sound rather than feel

 

Reg the fanatec settings, since I don't know them myself, hopefully somebody else can help you more than me. But it's important to use no damping and no or almost no smoothing as well as no inertia effect or similar. These things will all remove information.

In game i think you prob should use lower Lfb, down between 5 to 15.
Damping means power-steering with this file, so the less you use the stronger cornering will feel. You have it quite high, meaning quite low force on cornering.

There is no doubt imo that with the right setting it should feel awesome on your wheel base.

 

Yep, this version is even better. Tighter in the center for cars with less aero and cars with lots of aero you can feel when the oversteer starts to creep in. Also, all the trepidation from road noise is gone which is a nightmare on logitech wheels. Thanks a lot for doing this!
