    Yeah it has to have the .txt extension. ffb_custom_settings.txt As for settings, it will depend on what base you have, what settings you have on that base, the wheel you use and how you like the wheel to feel. Prob no 2 people like the exact same settings. Best thing to do is play with one setting at a time to see what each does for you. What wheelbase and wheel do you have?

    It could be that you don't have file extensions enabled. Double check that, just in case.

    I already get these small oscillations when driving slowly, they are quick short movements left and right. Perhaps it is just the engine vibration that you see?

    Hey Michael! It will always be a simulation and never reality. But I try to simulate reality as best as possible. But it's obvious if you reverse the values, you won't be left behind for long. Because the process is wrong, I think every dd1/dd2 owner can confirm that. Maybe it's not felt at belt bases, that can definitely be the case michael:)

    sorry about the english (google translation) I meant you won't be happy if you reverse the values. You will notice it well in the curves. The difference is like day and night greetings

    You will know it’s worked if the system ask’s if you want to overwrite the existing file.
    You don’t need to remove the old one first.

    Regarding your question Michael. The higher the value of scrub and tear_threshold, the later the effect occurs. I've always wondered why scrub_threshold and tear_threshold were very, very weak. That's why there were always discussions about which is better. I don't think it was felt at all with belt bases because these effects were overlaid or swallowed up. Due to these changes to the slip_crossover and slide and other values, these 2 values can now be clearly felt. Now it all comes together beautifully and it makes sense.
    regards:)

    Any T150 or TMX users here using the 4W Grip and stretch mod V2 mind sharing your in-game settings? I just can't get the ffb to feel right. its either too noisy or too muted and i cant seem to hit the middle ground.

    One thing which I'm struggling with is that some kerbs don't even show up in the ffb while others show up very intensely. Prime example is imola. I never even feel the inside kerbs on T1 and T2 but I do feel the yellow sausage kerbs if I hit them. But then on the exit of T3, the kerb (not including the horrendous green and white kerb) is felt very clearly and harshly by me.

    Just wondering if you aren't feeling the inside curbs as much as the exit curbs because the suspension is not under much load for the inside curbs and the opposite for the exit curbs ?

    Could be the case but I have not come across this phenomenon in any other sim's ffb so feels a bit strange to me. Also it's not that I'm feeling the inside kerbs less but I'm not feeling them at all. And I only sometimes feel the sausage kerbs and sometimes not. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? @Stakanov @Karsten Hvidberg

    Yes @Divit Beria ... i think that are the suspension the problem ... i have update this and now i feel correct on my wheel ... if i have free time tonight i will attached the file in the forum ... I would have liked to tune it better but I had little strength and I am far from home ;)

    @Danielkart .... I managed to import some of your latest updates such as the slide factor 0.6 and the RL/RRSlide to 25 ... but I am not up and good to the values for crossslip .... I hope to make it on the forum tonight so excuse me if it isn't perfect :(

    Hey Stakanov! Nice to hear from you, I hope you are doing well given the circumstances. I think I know what you're talking about with the crossover values, I assume the start and end values? There I have to test again what is perfect. But of course our bases are very different. If there is anything new I will inform you. Get well soon Stakanov:)
