Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

I have to say thank you for this file, I’ve been swapping between custom and default ever since early access and this is the best feeling I’ve ever had with this sim. Fantastic work, my CSW 2.5 finally feels like it’s working properly now.

 

I agree with @Michael Enright completely - that’s a LOT of gain. But that’s personal taste, and the file is absolutely brilliant. I am running 55 - 7 - 40 - 25, with FEI at 50 instead of your 60 and it just feels INCREDIBLE. Thanks very much for sharing. @Kuku Maddog, @Karsten Hvidberg… this is the new gold standard for CSW 2.5.

 

All credit should go to @Karsten Hvidberg , @Kuku Maddog for the most part, all I did was change a few numbers.
Not sure why it feels so stiff on other csw's, I'm using the latest drivers fwiw.

 

Naturally! I’d just suggest that this particular edit of the file is in the OP/zips/etc as the standard for CSW2.5 users.

 

one trade off of stronger resistance force is it can make it harder to feel subtle variations.
One thing to look at might be the initial tyre resistance.
i think Alegunner has put back to 3.0 , it may be worth trying lower values there and see if it helps widen the difference between stress loaded tyres and a non loaded .

 

Hi all, but I'm the only one who prefers the default + setting instead of modified files rfuktor? i have simucube 2 pro

 

It's the same situation as before, some prefer default and some prefer the custom option. And even within the custom option there's huge scope for different tastes. I'm just glad we have such a huge amount of choice.

There's no right or wrong option there. I think default+ is a big improvement and its great that Reiza are still actively trying to improve ffb.

 

As Chonk said, it all comes down to personal preference. I think Reiza did a good job improving the default and default+, but a well done custom file seems to have a bit more detail for a lot of people. The problem I've had with the defaults are that they feel almost hyper-reactive. This is especially true as the wheel returns to center. The rfuktor and variants just feels more natural and makes driving more intuitive for me.

 

I'm using v432 and Fanalabs 1.60.6

 

I have changed it to 2.8, but doesn't make a lot of difference. Made a few other changes too. Maybe I just have an ultra strong CSW 2.5. , either that, or I am a 70Kg weakling.

 

I wasn’t talking about strength or weight of your wheel base, this was about a greater variance between normal tyre resistance and loaded tyre feel . In most of the files I have initial tyre resistance at 2.0 for example.
I cant say for certain if it will help feelings of understeer or tyres running past there grip level, but it may contribute..
but if your struggling with the weight or general power of the forces then bumping Normal static force reduction up a bit might get it in a window that you like.

 

Sento più dettagli con il profilo default+. È vero che è più nervoso, ma con i filtri simucube posso correggere questa problem

 

I was only commenting on how extremely heavy the wheel is with gain at 70 in game and FFB at 100 on the CSW 2.5 with @Alegunner68 file. I have no problems with changing it to suit me, just cant see how a car can be driven with such a heavy steering. That is why we have adjustments, right?

 

Very odd that, the ffb on my wheel with my file feels very dynamic, from hardly any force on slow corners to a nice weight at speed and everything in between. Driveable with one hand until I reach 150+ mph.

 

Hey Kuku
I think what you have created with your Custom FFB for AMS 2 is absolutely awesome. I operate the settings on my Simucube 1 and I am absolutely thrilled how exactly you can feel the car with it. Since the implementation of the Indycar series in AMS 2, I've been totally enthusiastic about AMS 2, but with your Custom FFB it's even better.
I've never had a better FFB.

Thanks for that.

 

Odd indeed. I had a mate with a fairly new CSW set at all your settings, and he too found it very heavy. I don't even run my wheelbase at 100, only 90. Oh well, it doesn't really matter, I just turn down Gain, and it's great. Thanks.

 

Hey guys,

It's been a while, but we(@Panos Schoino, @Shadak and myself) finally spent several nights over a longer period and have the next evolution. It is a big leap forward in multiple ways, so we are skipping to next major version number

* BIG change: Damping is damping again.
* Improved oversteer/understeer calculations.
* More precise slip calculations.
* Adjusted slip feel.
* New lfb calculations, allowing more adjustability at the low end of the lfb range.
* New tear, including early tear effect.
* Tear naturally progressing from road noise and slight rolling road slipping.
* Scrub adjusted.
* Removed trail stuff, so no issues on Monza 10k etc.
* A few other improvements.
* Some bugs fixed.

Nice to see you, @Karsten Hvidberg

I will definitely try this out today when I get home from work. Which in-game FFB settings you are using with this file and with your Simucube 2 wheelbase (you're still using this wheelbase, am I right)? Also is there any significant changes required in True Drive or does your old settings you gave me long time ago still apply with this file? Thanks.

 

I just tried it with my T300RS.
I did some laps in Monaco and Southafrica with the hot MCLaren GT1 and it feels really good.
I tuned down FX and LFB a bit and upped damping a bit from my Standard+ settings.
Preferring it to the standard FFB it seems.
Thank you Karsten and the others for your hard work

 

My ingame settings during the process were:gain 30-35 and lfb 8-12 both depending on the car, fx 30 and damping 0. TD settings the same old. That's with the PRO, so you may need to up a bit the gain.
