Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

Yes definitely Stakanov, I tested it. I found it strange that they had brake_feel_follow weight almost 0. It changes everything with 500 exactly the same fantastic feel with the dynamic throttle and brake feel as in my custom. I noticed when I set the brake_feel_follow_weight above 1, it became unridable. No problem with 500

 

Just to confirm, I rename the custom file ffb_custom_settings

 

Yes and replace the file in the folder Documents/Automobilista2 ... then in game select the preset "custom" and set the cursors

 

I'll check back next week when I return to nome ... thanks for the advice!

 

yes too bad you can't test it and you're gone again. Or that nobody else notices. Have a nice week and see you soon Stakanov

Hi . Just wanted to say what a lovely experience I've just had while testing this file . Felt wonderful with the formula ultimate gen 2 and the f3 . Tested with the BMW gt4 and Caterham 620 also but might need to tweak either my wheel settings or game settings as the slip crossover with these cars seemed a little to soon and the kerb feel was slightly subdued . Excellent file though and for me it's a keeper . Thanks for sharing .

 

Glad you like it! Of course credits go to @Karsten Hvidberg for the original file. I only tuned the settings to my liking with the simagic alpha mini.

I tuned the values to my favourite car at the moment, which is the Porsche Cup car, which has slightly higher FFB effects than some other cars.

Feel free to change the values of Kerbs in this section:

# Road features settings
#

(texture_scale 0.5)
(micro_bumps_scale 0.4)
(kerbs_surface_scale 3.0)
(kerb_bump_scale 1.0) #How big the tall curb bumps are.
(micro_bumps_smooth 0.0)
(kerbs_surface_smooth 0.03)
(rear_micro_bumps_scale 0.3)
(rear_kerbs_surface_scale 1.0)
(suspension_scale 0.35) #how much the suspension is felt.
(large_track_bump_scale 0.06) #how much bumps on the track are felt.
(large_offroad_bump_scale 0.05) #how much bumps off the track are felt.

In the original file, these values are way higher, but they give excessively high FFB output on the Simagic Alpha mini so I toned them down a lot.

Mr. @Danielkart , i tested your advice for @Stakanov that is absent...

(accel_weight_scale (/ 500 (/ (+ corner_FL corner_FR corner_RL corner_RR) 9.8)))

It's true the formula with 500 works fine then thanks a lot, then i talking to Stakanov privately and he realized that in his file the correct value on 4 variables would be 1000 (and not 250 as initially set for his mistake), so I tried this

(accel_weight_scale (/ 1000 (/ (+ corner_FL corner_FR corner_RL corner_RR) 9.8)))

and with 1000 everything is fully functional and pleasant, and the other values that i used in my test with T300 are

(accel_feel 0.35)
(brake_feel 1.35)
(accel_feel_follow_weight 0.35)
(brake_feel_follow_weight 0.35)
(bump_feel_follow_weight 0.25)

I hope it is indicative. Thanks to all of you and good evening.

 

sorry wrong thread

 

Excuse me @AntoAntoDD (or anyone who know this), could you say me what 4 variables do you mean? I have been searching to try this for myself and only have found 3 that match with the description (accel_weight_scale, bump_weight_scale, brake_weight_scale). Which is the fourth?

Thanks you!

 

@RubénGarMo for four variables I refer to corner_FL corner_FR corner_RL corner_RR, for correction change in the file ATMOS 1.3.1 in Dynamic code all 3 values 250 to 1000 , whatch here down in red and bold

###########################################################
#
# Dynamic adjustment to accel feel based on car weight
#
(accel_weight_scale (/ 1000 (/ (+ corner_FL corner_FR corner_RL corner_RR) 9.8)))
(accel_weight_scale (+ 1 (* accel_feel_follow_weight (- accel_weight_scale 1))))
(accel_feel (/ accel_feel accel_weight_scale))

###########################################################
#
# Dynamic adjustment to bump feel based on car weight
#
(bump_weight_scale (/ 1000 (/ (+ corner_FL corner_FR corner_RL corner_RR) 9.8)))
(bump_weight_scale (+ 1 (* bump_feel_follow_weight (- bump_weight_scale 1))))
(texture_scale (* texture_scale bump_weight_scale))
(micro_bumps_scale (* micro_bumps_scale bump_weight_scale))
(kerbs_surface_scale (* kerbs_surface_scale bump_weight_scale))
(kerb_bump_scale (* kerb_bump_scale bump_weight_scale))
(suspension_scale (* suspension_scale bump_weight_scale))
(rear_micro_bumps_scale (* rear_micro_bumps_scale bump_weight_scale))
(rear_kerbs_surface_scale (* rear_kerbs_surface_scale bump_weight_scale))
###########################################################
#
# Dynamic adjustment to brake feel based on car weight
#
(brake_weight_scale (/ 1000 (/ (+ corner_FL corner_FR corner_RL corner_RR) 9.8)))
(brake_weight_scale (+ 1 (* brake_feel_follow_weight (- brake_weight_scale 1))))
(brake_feel (/ brake_feel brake_weight_scale))


And then up in the item set this values:
(accel_feel 0.35)
(brake_feel 1.35)
(accel_feel_follow_weight 0.35)
(brake_feel_follow_weight 0.35)
(bump_feel_follow_weight 0.25)

 

Oh, thanks you very much! It's super explanatory for a newbie like me. I am going to try this in a while :-D

 

I fixed it by changing from “legacy” to “custom” wheel in the settings for my Simagic m10. Still some oscillation but I can scratch my nose again while driving

 

As usual, I attach two Atmos 1.3.3 files (with and without YAW) ... and as usual the last original Karsten's file v.5.0.1.4 ....

Name: MOD ATMOS 4.1 (4xFX.1WHEEL) V.1.3.3 by Stakanov (with & without "Yaw") and based on 5.0.1.4

Name: rFuktor 5.0.1.4 Original Karsten Files

--–--------------------------------------------------------

EDIT - THE FILES ARE NOW UPDATE TO 1.3.3

 

Thanks for all your effort. Enjoy the family etc. Gaming is nice but you can easily live without. You also can live without a family but life is a lot better with a nice family..

 

Exellent this file, I just changed some effects a bit, but I think they are personal taste. Thanks and welcome home.

 

I'm happy and also this time you have overcome it and with all this you have not abandoned us as you said .
The file is beautiful and stable now, so do me a personal favor, leave us for a while and enjoy your life!!!
Thanks as always I wish you the best.

Thanks to you for your availability, you even video chatted with me to give me a helping hand while you were in an unpleasant place and in any case I have to congratulate you on your outfit , really trendy.
Regarding the file, I have little to say since I had previously applied the correction.
Thanks for all.

I was noticing, when testing this and the previous file, that it is almost superfluous to present two more versions (one with and one without yaw), the difference is really laughable and tiny, perhaps on the powerful DD it is more effective to reset the tightening to 0.0 than not to remove the yaw, therefore it could be thought to re-publish only one file for all the steering wheels, perhaps proposing a smaller alternative value of yaw fast and delay as in Karsten's original file. I don't know if you agree with this but otherwise I have little to say technically,
I like it a lot. Thanks.

 

Thanks you very much for your the new version of the file! I have no doubt that it is going to be an improve. Also, I hope you have enjoyed your time.

By the way, I have noticed an issue and I would like to ask if anyone has noticed yet. I was driving in Guaporé and have noticed that I was not feeling anything when driving over the kerbs. Nothing, really, even I go completely off the track. Only a little jump, because the grass zone is more elevated than te road. I have tested with Caterham Superlight and Ginetta G55 with the same result.

Is it the same for you? It could be a game bug or is it related to custom FFB?
