Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

Hi, i have the same wheelbase, wich Settings do you use in the Fanatec driver and ingame Settings ?

 

you actually need to adjust all of the slip_crossover lines as they all work “together” to create the weightless feel.

 

Hi . Sorry but I didn't understand that . You said you adjusted from 0.9 to 0.9 ?

 

I have the same base, files 1 and 3 felt very strong so i turned Gain down to about 40, preferred the 1st will try the 2nd file today and report back

 

Yeah 2nd file is amazing on 40 Gain in-game
Performance in TM settings and 100% master gain and 0% damper

 

Cheersd for that, I eventually settled on file 1 "for dd bases 10-30Nm" TM control at 100% Performance, 5% damping, in game 60% gain, low force 5%, fx 25%, 0 damping
(for now anyaway lol)

 

@Danielkart I just tried the new custom FFB and all I can say is thank you!

You find the Recomandations direct in the FFB File for your Wheel.
I personally use Ingame FX 35, FFB 85%
Wheel Linea, no dampers etc. all to Zero

 

I’m curious as well: Did it work?

 

Not really.

 

Hi, you mean the recommendations at the AM2 1.4 Forum, Post 1 ?

 

Normally inside the custom file, using a text editor.

PS: Sorry to interfere with your conversation with JDean

 

Thanks

 

That's true, but just what my personal taste is. I don't like it when the loss of grip is too big because it takes control of the car. And because it's a simulation with no feedback (G-forces in reality) I feel better with less loss of grip. But now there is another thing. The loss of grip is also in my files, but less severe. Each car in Ams2 has its own physics and there are very big differences. An example: Take the default ffb because this simulates the loss of grip much more. Now they take the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and compare the grip loss with the Porsche 911 RSR GTE. The GTE will simulate the loss of grip much better than the Cup. Another example: Mini Cooper JCW felt very little or almost no loss of grip in the steering axle. You see there is also a huge difference between the cars and what people are testing. It's always a compromise and of course personal taste. And don't forget the car setup options. I have little experience there, but a Steelreserv can certainly get the best out of the cars

 

Its been a while since Ive played AMS2 but I recently upgraded to a Simucube Pro and would like to give it another try.
I like my FFB to be "informative" (been playing rf2 mostly) and have already downloaded Kuku rFuktor 5.0.K profile for true drive.

Could someone point me to the latest FFB file and settings that go with it?

Edit: Nevermind, found it through the true drive file by entering url manually...

 

Hi Daniel. Don't think that I was criticizing your file because I wasn't , am currently using the latest one and enjoying very much thanks.
Personally I would like to feel a bit more lightness in the wheel when the fronts break traction or lock up under heavy breaking but each to there own of course.
So you say it is incorporated in your file, is it possible to increase the effect ? Which line would need adjustment?
Thanks.

 

Hey Aza! No problem, I don't see it as criticism, on the contrary. Constructive criticism is always good don't worry. Yes, my files are designed not to have too much grip loss. I would have to rebuild the whole file and go back to older files. I hope you understand that I will of course stick to my files.What you can still test is to increase the (slide_factor 0.5). That will give you more slip feeling but I think you are looking for something else

 

Which rFuktor version do you use?
And do you like it compared to rF2?

 

Thanks for the advice Daniel, will give that a try tomorrow night.
I know it's very hard to put into words what we feel with ffb and of course so many variables from wheelbase to wheelbase . I will try and explain exactly what sensation I'm searching for .
Imagine going round a long fast bend that gets gradually tighter , as you progress through that bend your front tyres start to gradually slide over the track surface.
While this is happening I would like a slight rumble or vibration through the steering column but also would expect a small decrease in centering force from the steering wheel .
I know the default ffb already does this but ( on my wheel at least ) it's massively over exaggerated! Have tried to tune it out with every conceivable setting know to man but to no avail.
In a nutshell I just want a bit of understeer feeling.
While I'm on a roll though I've also noticed no decrease in force's from V50 when turning on grass , would have thought mechanical grip would drop by at least 50% ?
I have also experienced very large ffb spikes when coming to rest after a spin , almost as if the peak forces are higher than the gain should allow.
Anyway just my observations while driving with a Simplicity 20nm direct drive wheel.
Thanks.
