Automobilista - How the FFB works and what is new about it

I think I answered it - your profile controller.ini auto saves your settings and the custom preset can be loaded and saved manually (then it takes control)?

 

I typed in the search function for low ffb setting and it brought me here. Happy days! so with my T300, I have feedback about 80 and I need to understand the low setting. If I move it left, it goes higher and right it goes lower. What exactly I'm I looking for here please? Cheers

 

Am I the only one who thinks the FFB road noise is a bit much? I appreciate that it feels more lively, but after a while it becomes a bit annoying to have a basically constant slight shaking in the wheel and also makes me genuinely worried how it might affect the longevity of my wheel.

For the record I'm using a CSW V2, I'm not clipping and I'm using Pure 180Hz.

 

"Road noise" is perfect on my CSW at FFB of -100% and Low setting of 6%. Why would you not use Pure 360Hz setting? A CSW v2 certainly should use the "best" setting and if you are worried about wearing out your wheel, then just about everyone else should give up. The v2 should be almost indestructible given how it is built.

 

It should be possible to tweak the Real Feel settings to reduce or soften the detail, or you can dial in a bit of dampening in the wheel settings.

I'm using an OSW and have the filtering all the way down in the wheel settings for AMS with no harshness in the road detail and this is a wheel that requires quite a lot of filtering with Assetto Corsa and other titles.

 

I'm not using 360Hz because it creates framerate problems for me. I took the advice from the OP to try 180Hz and that did indeed get rid of it.

Mabye I'll try adding a touch of dampening or reducing the low force boost, I'm using the minimum recommended setting of 20%. The worries about my wheel might be unnecessary, but I still don't like quite so much road noise, it's a pretty constant vibration that feels more like a canned effect than something that relates to the road I can see in front of me. It's less pronounced with a heavier rim, but I mostly use the Formula rim and that's very light and direct.

 

When using this do you get any text onscreen to show adjustments ?
When i press these buttons nothing seems to change
Can you please help me to figure this out ?

 

@2ndLastJedi
Go into your RealFeelPlugin.ini file and change the highlighted line.
If you listen as you drive you will hear the alteration to the file being done, it is saved auto.
[General]
RealFeelIsOn=True
ConsoleEnabled=False
ConsoleRepeatDelay=0.100000
SpeechEnabled=True

 

Also make sure NUM LOCK is on, I never really use the number block so it took me a while to notice

 

Well either of the Pure settings should make sure there are no canned effects happening. Some people with CSW v2's also have issues with rF2. It's like some forces are magnified, while the main feedback is OK. Going off road is a good example, where the feedback would be ridiculously strong. So you really need to find others with v2's because even the CSW v1 that I have is basically a completely different wheel in terms of how it reacts to the settings. And the CSW is completely different to a Logitech, etc.

 

You can't turn off the tdf file "effects" and these are in a sense "canned". I get the same issue with my humble G25.

 

Mate , you are a Champ .Thanks heaps .
Now to just figure out what it does , probably nothing because i use "pure 360" but now i know it is there and it does have effects .
Probably the best thing i learnt tonight was to turn the Sparse grid Supersampling on in the nVidia inspector , wow didn't that help ,even at 4k the shimmering is pretty awful even with the control panel maxed but putting that setting to x2 made a huge difference .
That and finding out about changing the control.ini to remove the rather large dead spot in the middle of my wheel .Turns out setting it to 0.000 seems the best for me and no oscillation .
Now just got to figure out how to turn the spotter off in the beta version , even lessen the amount he says would be good.

 

I can help you on that part: go to settings > audio: options for the spotter have been added on the right column (spotter on or off, 3 levels of infos, subtitles on or off)

 

It alters the -Max Force At Steering Rack-
Just remember that lower number below means heavier FFB.
Heavier FFB in example is -2400.00000
Below is for the Stock Car, each car has its separate entry.
[Stock]
MaxForceAtSteeringRack=-2500.000000
SteeringDamper=11500.000000
FFBMixerRealFeelPercent=100.000000
FrontGripEffect=0.000000
SmoothingLevel=2
Kf=6000.000000
Ks=5.000000
A=1.000000
Kr=7.000000

Look through this post and you will find more info.

 

I use xpadder to map the keys for realfeel, if you set it up correctly you can adjust the FFB (plus or minus) on the fly.
Go to post #61 in this thread.

btw I also use Pure360 and it does make a difference.

 

All right then you Guys ,since you knew how to help previously, do to know how to turn on the on screen data ? ie.Brake balance and traction control information and so on . This is for the beta version .
In the public version all this stuff is enabled from default so when adjustments are made it shows on screen but in the beta if i adjust the roll bars or brake balance there is no way of knowing what it is set too.
Hope you know how .
Cheers.

 

You have to map keys for each one of those as well as other information. Suggest you look at the items in the control area to find those, although you would have had to do that in the retail version.
