    I use the older version 42 on my TSPC wheel and that seems to be the one for me.

    I know people who still use V20.... files. It doesn't really matter what it is, whether it's a file from me or a file from Alegunner or someone else or a default. Don't let yourself be influenced, listen to yourself and your personal taste. There are countless factors that make it completely different for each user (base, wheel size and weight, forces in Nm, Vr, motion, buttkickers, rig and and and ....) Your feeling is the most important

    Hi guys! I'll post another V46 today. I have now also rewritten the kart file and it is now definitely . Some things have also been adjusted in the V45, which I noticed. see you later . Daniel

    I have been using you V44 for quite a while and it is fantastic, quick question , does the Damping slider control Damping or "power steering" I know in some custom ffb files the damping acts like power steering.

    Hi guys, here is the promised V46 Custom. 1. New kart file written, no more oscillating and no more extreme vibrations. Tested with Kart 125cc Shifter,my recommendation for the karts Increase FX In-Game to 30

    Additional adjustments for the V46
    2.Momentum rack adjusted 3.Force of understeer adjusted 4.Steering was too heavy and sticky in corners, was adjusted 5. Stability of chassis extremely increased, well felt during fast change of direction 6. Brake tremors in the steering better to feel. Happy holidays and have fun with the file

    Addendum: this V46 is very clear and precise and above all very compatible with dd bases. High forces are no problem and it is very harmonious in terms of power development. In contrast, the V45 is more compatible with belt drive wheels because the file works with higher forces. This is just an info from me and of course anything you like can be used

    V38 is definitely a great file for me on the t300 base. I had no idea my wheel was capable of such details.
    The way it all comes together adds so much to the immersion factor.

    Great job dude!

    Hey Champrt! The damping slider adjusts the damping and not the power steering

    Hi @Danielkart

    I am currently using your v45 with my TS-XW and it works like a charm. I cannot thank you enough for your work. The feeling is so realistic even for a belt-drive wheel.

    Can you suggest. On default FFB. Why cars with a positive scrub radius when hitting a curb, the steering wheel rotates from the curb and should on the curb?

    I presume you have made a new controller profile by deleting old and setting it up from scratch. ?

    thank you for your reply.
    assumption is correct, when there is a major update,I do actually rename the MyDocuments/AMS2 folder to same name with OLD suffix so I can start from scratch again at the 1st Game opening

    I have done much more testing this afternoon for me here in Asia.

    I had always the grief with AMS2 that the cars would feel floaty and lose front or rear didn't translate very well into my wheel feedback, reading the well becoming too light in tight corners.

    My previous wheel was a TSPC racer so close to High End belt driven so it could not be the one to blame here.

    To somehow balance this lack of feel,I had used 2 different approaches
    1. Use FFB default+ and increase the Gain to 75% (my wheel is give for 6Nm Torque peak)and also significant increase the in Game damping(from 50% defaut to 75%)
    2. Use a Custom FFB file available on this related thread
    It had never given me the exact feel expected but at least the Game was playable for me

    Now last week when I received my DD and tried the Game, I ignored the AMS2 default setting that Logitech recommend and instead focused on increasing the Wheel base dampener to 50 and reducing the TF Audio to 10, and the feeling was really good
    upload_2023-1-1_17-18-2.png

    Now what I noticed during the testing today

    1. The klonk noise and awful feel around the wheel center is gone if I reduce the in Game damping to Zero which is what Logitech recommends for their in Game setting(see below)
    2. the Trueforce effects are back if I massively increase the TF audio value from 10 as it was to 100, which again is what Logitech recommends in Driver setting (see above again)
    upload_2023-1-1_17-22-21.png


    so what I understand now is that Reiza has tweaked the DD GPRO behaviour in Game to match what Logitech had recommended for AMS2 settings (drivers and in Game)
    so I will need to tweak again both myself to hopefully achieve the same good feeling I had managed to reach a week ago:oops:

    would True force still be active if you set it up as a custom wheel ?

    that's a good question.

    I believe the wheel drivers parameter TFAudio is what makes it feel or not when the wheel is set as DD GPRO in AMS2 but yes I have not tried to make a complete new profile as Custom wheel

    will give it a try if time permits tonight.

    Hello! You have to distinguish between defaults and custom files. Reiza gives recommendations for their defaults for in-game and base settings which is correct. But Customs behave completely differently, it's not comparable. You must first choose defaults or customs. After that you can make your in-game and base settings. Then test different settings of base and in-game and let your feeling decide what is best at the end
