    Just try all of them and see if there is 1 you like more than the rest. Then, if you want to, open the file in a text editor, and play with some of the values. You never know, you might improve it more to your liking. If not, you can always put the original back.

    Hallo zusammen,
    ich probiere verschiedene Autos aus und habe 3 Autos gefunden, die ich regelmäßig fahren möchte.
    Gibt es so etwas wie eine Garage, in der ich meine 3 Autos parken kann?
    Also muss ich jedes Mal von der Liste nach den Autos suchen.
    Vielen Dank.
    VG Eisi :)

    Du meinst sowas wie Favoriten?
    Nicht daß ich wüsste.
    Aber das letzte Auto mit dem du gefahren bist wird eh gespeichert und so viel gibt es da auch nicht zu suchen.

    I think you need to put your comments into an appropriate forum so you can get the answers you are looking for. This forum is for feedback etc on Custom FFB files. Your idea would be good though.
    Speaking of Custom FFB, do I take it that because it has gone deathly quiet in here that we have come to the end of @Karsten Hvidberg and Co's SilverRaw files?

    Karsten was on holiday + some work so not much ffb work being done I believe. And generally not many ams2 updates in terms of physics/ffb from Reiza.

    At the same time, while I think Karsten had couple of ideas, there isnt a huge amount of things we wanted to change after the last files in terms of features.

    Name: rFuktor 4.6 (Fix) - Tuned by Stakanov for Logitech G920 and All LowEnd Wheels
    (Specific for a whell with a LITTLE DEADZONE)
    Date: 23/07/2021

    Note: In this file I NOT USE the normal code line for tightening!!! Then don't rise the value, if you don't like, in the TR and TF value can go only down or 0.

    Logitech HUB Setting
    Last version (if game is update at least to v1.2.1.4) with default value
    900° and all sensitivity to 50

    AMS2 Game Menù Setting for G920
    900° - All deadzone to 0 - All sensitivity to 50 except the throttle on range 25-35
    Note: If you use manual clutch try to set also this slide of sensitivity on range 25-35

    Then select "Custom" with this starting value for Logitech:
    GAIN 96* - LFB 30 - FX 56 (to taste +/- 10) - DP (PowerSteering) 30.
    *Then, in the car setting, use +/- % of Gain for car to taste!!!

    Note after updating to version 1.2.2.0 (or for personal taste): it is advisable to change the value in the code line below from 0.15 to 0.10, i.e .:
    "(steer_spring_strength 0.10)"

    Note: In this file I USE the normal code line for tightening!!! Then you can modify the value, if you don't like, in the TR and TF value (set to 0.12 and 0.012) go up or down to your taste or according with your whell.
    Example according with your deadzone:
    TR 0.08 TF 0.008 or TR 0.10 TF 0.010 or TR 0.16 TF 0.016 or TR 0.21 TF 0.021

    Excellent file, the only thing I changed was the "(steer_spring_strength 0.10)". This change helps me feel the car better on corner entry and carry more speed. Also the car feels more progressive on acceleration on corner exit.
    Only tested with the BMW GT4 and F301.

    I agree ... you will not believe it but I had just made this further reduction to the spring ... I felt it a little strange especially after the update to version 1.2.2.0 (even if the FFB has not been modified) and obviously the various changes to the physics of the tires and more I had highlighted the problem ... so I agree 100% with you ... I will insert the advice in both posts of the files!!!
    Thanks for the feedback!!! ;)

    Im gonna be honest... this is a very confusing, very overwhelming thread. I've got 9 attached zip files, each listed in seemingly random order, some with various tunes in them that are wheelbase specific, without much explanation as to why you'd pick whichever. If I want to know what exactly these are for, I've got to dig through pages and pages of replies.

    There needs to be some kind of basic flowchart so you know what you'll want to use without having to juggle 5 different zip files that have some of the same ffb files in them.

    It's almost impossible to come in here after a few months and have any idea what you're looking at, and I can only wonder what the newbies would think after seeing all this.

    I agree. I used to use custom FFB files (they are very much appreciated, by the way!) but I haven't updated for a while and no longer remember quite where to begin.

    For example, is "Silver Raw rFuktor 4.6 Bug fix update" the same file as what is called the "Original high end file" if I download the .zip containing "all latest files"?

    Likewise, what is MuscleFuktor? It seems to be a recent version (it's included at the bottom of the second post) but for some reason isn't in the .zip file?

    Again, I very, very, very much appreciate the work you've put in to make these custom FFB files. From my memory, some of them substantially improved the FFB compared to the default settings. It's just a hard process to keep up with, given how quickly the updates move.

    Sorry if I misunderstood you but:
    It is not that easy but also it is not too difficult at all and for me it is a worthwhile investment.
    Anyone opting to don`t read all those pages (what a novel! yes, but I love) can just download the most recent file linked at page one.
    There you will find a compressed file containing the original file plus some tweaks made by another users specifically for their wheels and their preferences. It is your choice to install the original (and tune or not for yourself) or that tuned by community.

    PS: Being english my second language I maybe can't express all my gratitude to those guys concerned with this work, specially to @Karsten Hvidberg. What a huge effort and what a good result. Thank you!

    That post is not as clear as you believe.

    For example, it includes a .zip collection described as "all latest files for all wheel bases" (https://forum.reizastudios.com/attachments/rfuktor-tunes2-zip.16139/). That makes this sound easy. However, (1) the files in that .zip do not include version numbers, and (2) the .zip folder does not contain several other files that are also included at the bottom of the post.

    For example, the post also includes a direct download link for "Silver Raw rFuktor 4.6 Bug fix update / High end file" (https://forum.reizastudios.com/atta...ngs-silver-raw-rfuktor-4-6-bug-fix-txt.15748/). Is this the same as the "Original High End File" in the .zip under a different title? Is it different? I cannot tell, and the post does not include an explanation.

    If the files are different, why does the .zip say it includes "all latest files" when it actually does not? Perhaps the "4.6 bug fix" file is now out of date? If so, why is it still included at the bottom of the post? The post does not include a history of all previous versions, so it's hard for me to know why this one was still included while others have been discarded. Is 4.6 considered experimental, and the "latest" files in the .zip are actually older? Again, I cannot know for sure.

    Similarly, the post includes a file named "Silver Raw muscleFuktor high end file"(https://forum.reizastudios.com/attachments/ffb_custom_settings-musclefuktor-updated-txt.15356/). This file is also excluded from the .zip package (or has been renamed). Is it out of date, or is it still considered worth trying? Why is the file included at the bottom of the post rather than the .zip?

    Even by reading through the entire thread, these types of questions are difficult to answer but can be quickly resolved by someone who has been involved throughout the process.

    (Part of my confusion is that I upgraded most of my gear and changed my wheel base this month. I was comfortable using a particular set of files with my old low/mid-range wheel base, but now I am starting over trying the high-end files and it's hard to know where to start or how far back I should be looking. In the past, I didn't need to devote much energy to following those discussions, because they did not apply to me.)
