    You know that in game damper slider acts as ‘power steering’? Higher values will reduce peak cornering force. I use ~40.

    I was running it at 60-40-50-50 as per your instructions in the recommended settings file.
    Just tried changing the slider from 0-100 and nothing changed in the strenght of the ffb. Even playing with the Gain slider doesnt do anything oddly enough...

    Im on a CSL Elite if that matters at all btw.

    Hmm somethings wrong I think.

    Maybe try renaming your documents/automobilista 2 file. The game will then create a new one when you next launch it. You can then copy over files from the old folder (custom ffb / gtx configuration etc)

    in terms of the caster issues.
    a very quick test of some smoothing added does seem to help with the jolt . but at what trade off of feel i haven’t had time to test yet as off to work.

    OK that also deleted all of my ingame settings :D but it also fixed the FFB. Feels excellent right now, cheers!

    Need some help getting my TX wheel dialed in. I've been throwing so many FFB files and slider adjustments at it I am now lost. I've been sticking with the T300 tune by Kuku and trying to work with that as some of the ones for DD wheels are little harsh. I feel I am really missing details under braking and corning and not sure what to adjust at this point. I can't feel what the rear of the car is doing at all until it's already around. I've tried raising LFB to bring center detail up but my fear is this is muting details and giving me that really flat dull feeling mid corner (that floaty feeling). There is also a "looseness" in the wheel before turn in. It's as if there is a delay between weight transfer and that increased tire load reaching the wheel.

    I started with the settings Kuku mentions in the V2.1 file and worked from there with little success.

    All of my testing is in the Porsche GT3R as that is my go to car. I'm also on a low end spec PC that just meets the Min Requirements or just barely exceeds it. But it's not like my CPU is 100% utilized either.

    AMS2 is not so much CPU reliant as it is GPU. You can get away with a lower end CPU, but to get the best out of AMS2 you need a pretty decent GPU.

    hi guys do you have any parameters for ts-pc? I would like to try various file cases, which ones do you recommend? and with what values?

    Yea I gotcha. I am on Min settings all around. GPU doesn't get pushed to 100% either. This is just to get a break from console (aka F12020) racing and get a taste for PC racing until I can (if things return to normal) afford to buy a new PC. So not looking to get the most out of the game and just mixing it up with a few AI cars or just putting in laps to fill the void that awful console racing leaves behind.

    I'm far from home and I can't try ... during my break, I ate an ice cream too fast/velocity and I started sobbing (I'm greedy :D) ... I don't know why but I remembered the jolts on the parabolic curve of Monza (10k) that continue to remain despite using different custom files (with some more, with others less but the anomalous jolt is there) ... my head remains fixed on the speed parameter, that is, I remember well how the jolts (the abnormal ones) took place mainly with cars that exceed above 250 km / h ... if I am not mistaken and if I remember correctly below this speed the jolt remains but is within the tolerance limit and/or clipping (if so it would be all right).

    I come home in 3 hours and I can't test but looking at the file on my office pc I notice these groups of lines of code:

    (d 0.3)
    (damping2 (* (min 1 (/ kmh 250)) 1500 d))
    (all (- all (* damping2 (- sa_delta_rack (smooth sa_delta_rack 0.005)))))



    Can anyone try to set this 250 to 300 to test the jolt ??? o_O
    (I remember that on the parobolica the jolt must stay because it is so in reality but obviously not in this way which is well above the clipping limit).

    EDIT: NO THE PROBLEM IS STILL HERE AFTHER 250Km ... WITH 300 NO CHANGE AND WITH (d 0.5) IDEM ONLY A LITTLE LESS PRONUNCED ... :(:(:(

    Thanks @Peter Stefani ;) ... tested now with a friends but seem IS STILL HERE ... i edited now the post above:(:(:(

    I can't understand what it could be .... it seems like a speed-related feature or effect ... this effect gets excited as you go faster on the parabolic curve and at most then creates a strong repeated peak with relative clipping (looks like a super micro_bump) !!!

    Yes, I tried also with values of 300, 399, and 99. But no differences felt.

    Page 1, Post 2 has all the files in one zip file. As FFB is a very personal thing, try each one, and play with settings to see which one you like the best. Experiment, experiment, experiment. Time consuming, I know, but it will be worth it. What one person likes, isn't necessarily what you will like.
