    @rurEEE - what wheel are you using?

    I'm using a CSL DD with the boost kit - I've got 50% damping and INT 3 (3 samples of smoothing) in the wheelbase. That just adds a bit of weight to the wheel and smooths out any graininess which feels good to me. All the other wheel effects are off, although I haven't experimented much with any other settings.

    Thanks. I will give your file a test drive and report back.

    @rurEEE - I didn't do a lot of laps but for the most part I like your file but the feeling of hitting the curbs is missing. (I'll have to do more laps over the weekend)

    FWIW I went back to Default+ as the feeling it provides match what my G-Seat is telling me (most of the time) especially the understeer and the weight transfer feeling. It also feels much better around the center but it can get 'messy or busy' if I over drive the car.

    Below is what I settled on for my TS-PC.

    Edit: Changed from 100 to 75 Gain in CP (very nice, thanks Joaquim Pereira)

    Control Panel:
    Gain 100 75
    Constant 100
    Periodic 100
    Spring 100
    Damper 100

    In game:
    Default+
    Gain 75 (adjust 'on the fly' per car/track)
    LFB 12
    FX 50
    Damp 40

    (Default is also good for me but I miss the extras Default+ adds)

    Most ffb profiles do clip and I believe the TS-PC power curve is not very linear in 75%-100% range.
    I have a better experience if I reduce max power from driver to 75%.
    You may find the wheel a little lighter (the mean value decreases, the max not so much) but you start to feel some datails missing before. It requires some time to get used (perhaps 2-5h).

    BTW, that's inline with Reiza recomendations for T-GT

    Those of you with fanatec v3 pedals,
    What brake forse setting do you find ideal,
    I've been using 0%, but started to play around with that at around 20%, can't make my mind up what I prefer lol

    Do you do manual calibration mode in the fanatec software with that so high?
    Thanks

    If you mean the setting in Car setup, I mostly use 94-96% and I use the manual calibration in driver

    Yes - Brake Force is set at 96% in the Fanatec profile. I do use manual calibration mode to set a small deadzone to stop the brake applying if I rest my foot on the pedal.

    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

    I just switched from a CSL Elite to a Moza R9. The CSL worked fine, but with de Moza R9 I don't get any FFB. Does anybody want to share their settings? Both the in-game settings and the pit-house file?

    Try deleting the ams2 folder in my documents and starting from scratch, you may have to select wheel type as custom also . Map your steering controls manually and it should work hopefully.

    Hi guys, I have a Thrustmaster ts-xw and I really like having a lot of vibration in the wheel from tire scrubbing and engine vibration. I’ve got the fx slider all the way up to 100 and it is just very subtle and muted. And you can only feel the engine vibes at idle. That can’t be right. I’ve got default plus at 73 gain, 17 lfb, 11 damping, and 100 fx. TM control panel is 85 gain. Any ideas?

    Thank you for helping me go to right direction. I deleted the ffb_settings.txt and tried the game. I felt no FFB and had a very light wheel. After that I tried to switch between Default, Default+ and Custom. Still no fbb. Then in tried the rFuktor 5.0.1. Now I feel a bit of inertia of the car but still nothing when I drive over the grass or kerbstones.
    I also changed the sensitiveness of the steering (in game) and a lot of settings in the Moza Pit House settings. FBB is working in ACC. So still looking for settings of somebody who has the R9 working in AMS2.
    Edit: The update of today fixed my problem. Now the FFB works fine. Just before this is renamed the folder AMS2.

    Finally I found some settings with trial and error. The are meant for tin tops. I hope that with these settings owners of the Moza R9 can start racing faster than I could. Oh..I have CSL pedals with LC. So that might be different to your equipment.
    The json-file needs to be imported in the Moza Pit house software (for the wheelbase).
