Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

Not quite, I still run the 5.0.1 file as a base, but have developed it a little more to have more control and weight , smoother tire feel and more grip feel , I felt most of the files needed some attention after the last update, and I’m holding off posting as I would like to see how it goes with the next update as confirmation.

 

After strong adjustments of the slip_crossover values in combination with slide, lfb and scrub changes I will post my V28 Custom file right away. The result is very harmonious, low vibration and above all excellent tire feel. I think the custom file is now at a very good level. Of course, Karsten or Reiza will bring new and good changes again, then you will react to them again. If some people like it, the work was worth it. Custom to follow

 

Of course, the file can always be changed according to personal taste, it should only be a good basis. I will also soon post a custom file on this basis by Michael Enright. But with its adjustments for the CSW 2.5. I think this could be exciting for the belt owners. I would like to thank Michael very much for his cooperation Here first my dd Custom file

 

Wait, is this what I think it is?

Ability to reload FFB when returning to pits so we can tune without restarting game?

im away this weekend - can anyone confirm in the release candidate branch?

 

Well I just tested your older file with the release candidate and it is absolutely bloody fantastic! The Gt cars (tested the GT1/GT3/GT4/GTE and porsche Cup are all incredible in combination with your FFB file on my alpha mini. I find the older cars: Group A / porsche RSR a bit sluggish, perhaps because of the difference in tire model.

The only very minor complaint is that there is still some very small high frequency vibration in the FFB which seems to be absent from the default+ FFB.

Nevertheless I am very happy with your custom file it makes the FFB much more believable over the in-game FFB.

 

Hey Rob! I don't think it's meant for that. But I hope I'm wrong that would be fantastic for the ffb tuning
Regards

 

Crimson posted this about it:

FFB always resets to the definitive state that is set for your controls on a redundant base, so it's assured that no funky stuff is happening after pausing and returning to pits. It assures, that you don't have any "leftovers" from driving before pausing and reverting to the pits, when starting to drive again. So you always start fresh with a fully pristine state of FFB out of the garage.​

I've read it a couple of times and still don't know 100% what it means but it sounds like FFB can go a bit odd when driving and now gets reset whenever you return to the pits.

 

I’m confused where to find the most recent files?

 

If you have a dd1/2 on this page above. If you have a belt base I can recommend the Stakanov files

 

Thanks Daniel the file feels great on my DD

 

I've also made some updates to the default 5.0.4 file for a DD and took some ideas from Daniel as well.

I've adjust the slip_crossover a bit more so it only goes a bit lite right when the wheels have lost grip and the car starts to slide.

Just another flavor for others to try is all.

 

It’s just for removing situations where the torque stayed in the wheel when pausing mid load.

i tested to see if it might have been able to reset files changes , but it doesn’t work.

 

My new file will be a lot smoother tire feel. and i’ve been tuning everything towards the new model for last few weeks but still works fine for older.

i’m at stage of only tweaking and testing micro changes and i’m testing loads of cars before settling on things.

I’m going for a one and done approach and only need to decide on a couple of things but have to balance messing with it and devoting time to other things i’m so in game.

 

I also using a simucube and also get this jolt when spinning

 

Have been using this file also , definitely one of the best for high torque wheels . I think it might just be that it's a fairly heavy load constantly with this file , needs to be to create the dampened rubber resistance feel that it has , overall gain will probably be the only way to soften the jolt at the end of a spin .

 

My last changes have once again brought me very good insights. There were always discussions about what is better Scrub_threshold or tear_threshold higher or lower? That has definitely become clear to me now. Scrub_threshold should come earlier even very early. Tear_threshold later and the difference should be greater. Try to swap my new values, you will notice this enormous difference immediately. I'll post it right away

 

You see my values are now 0.05 for scrub and 0.5 for tear. Try it yourself if you swap the values. Your concerns about the strong power when standing still? I don't see any problem we have dd with enormous powers, and if it takes me off the track then hands off. This is also the case in reality

 

Guys, I have a question regarding the process of 'replacing' the FFB file, not sure if I'm doing this correctly.
I delete the 'old' file and copy your custom file into the folder, but AMS2 creates a new file when I restart the game. Now in the opening post I think you're suggesting that AMS2 only creates a new file if I delete the custom one again.

 

Hey Daniel,
This is not when going off-track. Just when you spin on track and when the spin ends there is a big jolt in the opposite direction of the countersteering that you were trying to do for the spin.

 

Shouldn't Scrub, as it comes first, be of a higher frequency, followed by a Tear of a lot lower frequency? Haven't driven a real race car so this is only a thinking out loud type of thing.
