    Or could it be to do with SimPro Manager like @Kuku Maddog suggested. He does indeed use SimPro, not the older Alpha one. Could be the cause. Who knows. I will suggest it to him, unless there are others here who do use the Beta SimPro Manager.

    I've been using Simpro for a couple of months, so probably not that. However, plenty of people on the simagic discord with various other issues that aren't universal. Definitely worth a try with the older firmware + Alpha Manager, unless it's a really new base, in which case you're stuck with SimPro.

    Can't even find a download link for Alpha Manager any more, only Simpro Manager. It is only in Beta, so could get better. Wheel Base is brand new, so I guess he's stuck.
    Have you had any issues at all?
    Thanks guys.

    I've been pretty lucky - any issues I've had are now resolved, and I'm really happy with the gear.

    That said, whilst we're all used to beta versions of software, and deciding for ourselves if we want the latest and greatest, I don't think it's reasonable for simagic to sell new hardware that's only supported by beta software, without something stable to fall back on.

    Instructions and links for Alpha Manager here, but if it's brand new, it probably won't work. It won't brick it or anything, but if it reports some error like firmware version 16000, then it's SimPro only.

    Thanks for that. I'll pass it on. I'm actually looking at a complete new rig. New to me, but 2nd hand. It includes a Simagc Alpha, so all this info may be good for me too.
    Which Custom File do you guys use with your Simagic bases?
    Thanks guys.

    Is there a way to get the Default+ FFB parameters, so I can set up a "Default+ Custom FFB file" with, for example, a bit more load under braking and more loose feeling when oversteering?
    Default+ is just perfect for me except thow two things :/ (Driving on VRS)

    ok thanks, i'll ask in here

    is there anyway to get a custom file identical to the "default" in game settings? i like default but the understeer effect is terrible and makes any non high down force car feel like they are weightless

    i want a default profile which i can dial out the understeer effect

    Hi! No, that is not possible, you cannot change the standard (+) file or mix it with a custom file

    Calling all Simagic users. Would it be possible for all you guys using Simagic Bases to tell me;
    1. What Custom File you use?
    2. What in game settings?
    3. What SimPro Manager Settings?
    Maybe even a screenshot or two of the SimPro settings?
    I know FFB is a personal feeling type of thing, but if I can get some direction and ideas, would be great. Thanks guys.

    Well unsurprisingly I use my 5.0.1 based tune :whistle:
    Ive recently spent a lot of time in FWD Mini's of different ages, and have tweaked my file for the first time in ages. it can be found as Revision 2 in folder.
    I still use alpha manger as SimPro seems to have too many bugs from what I read on discord and i dont have anything but a Simagic wheel base that needs software, so there's no point in using it for me currently
    I run it with virtually no added filters or anything apart from a tiny amount of mechanical damper and friction.
    all my settings are described in files . tastes and strength will vary per user though.
    Ive had my Alpha Mini base for almost a year and never had any issues with connectivity/detection or anything not working as expected in game.

    I just got into this game coming from iracing. I have a small issue with my Accuforce though. I can not dial out the centering spring or whatever it is that tries to bring the wheel back to center. I hate that, let me drive the car lol. How do I get rid of this?
    Thanks, appreciate it.

    Hi guys! I have a lot of inquiries about my custom V45. I will post them to you in the next few days so I don't have to post the file to every single one. I will wait for the official update from Reiza. The file has received very good improvements and many changes (will describe it in more detail when posting). See you soon Daniel

    Are you having this problem with a custom ffb profile or with the default and default +? I have this same issue with the default(s) and I'm not sure there is currently a way to fix it. High damping and low gain seem to have very little effect. There are a lot of variations for the custom files and the aggressive centering is often less than those of the defaults. I hope Reiza can address this issue because the default + is actually very good in many ways, but that rubber band centering is frustrating.

    Hi all.
    I've just moved from a thrustmaster ts pc racer to a Moza r16.

    Just hoping someone can point me in the direction of a suitable custom ffb file, and maybe in game and wheelbase settings.

    Many thanks
