Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

Just to add my recommendations for the TS-XW.
I also now use the v70 5-8nm for belt/dd by @Danielkart
I have mostly been an rF2 sim racer over the years and have been missing the somewhat busy, noisy FFB that rF2 gives.
Have finally managed to replicate this as near as possible with this latest file in AMS2.
These FFB files can seem like a rabbit hole at times but I can’t recommend the v70 file enough!

 

I would like to give a shout out to all the FFB file contributors in this thread.
I like and tag someone when I find a file that I really like, but it’s easy to forget that most of these files are a collaborative effort built on the back of previous ones, steadily added to and improved.
So thanks to all involved !

 

Hello! Like in Raceroom? There was an attempt but it caused other anomalies. If you like this effect, try to simulate it with a buttkicker or with motion (of course only if you have the possibility)

 

assuming you have a TSxw. do you use the recommended in game settings for the v70 files? i just tried it out now and i can definitely tell a difference in feed back,. seems a little light to me though. could i just change the gain to a higher number?

 

I have altered the ingame settings, yes. Little higher on the gain. Bit more on the lfb. And some more on the fx. Like i said, i do quite like my ffb a little on the noisy side

Oh, and if i find any specific cars that need more or less, i use the per car ffb gain increase/decrease.

 

In the ffb_custom_settings file alter these values.
kerbs_surface_scale
kerb_bump_scale
with higher values until you find what you like. I use around 12 - 15 to get it how i like it

 

okay great. i didnt wanna mess up the file by not following the ingame settings. i see you have added LFB. though the ingame settings show LFB 0. so adding like 5-10 would be good also? '

i do find the setting a little light for me. so i wanted to make sure if it was just best to keep it as it was or still can be personalized! thanks.

 

Yesterday I thought about trying to change something in the file, something was always missing.
I have a T300, in the custom
file i set the (min force 0.08) and found what I was looking for.
In game set the gain a bit lower, if you need.

 

I personally do enjoy the base ffb but I wonder if a custom one can improve the braking effect, as well as a slight reduction on the road effects, and allow me to get some vibration when running over a kerb and improve the grass effect

is there a file that does that for a g29?

 

A similar ffb to rF2? That sounds interesting, would it work on a g29?

 

Hi all

Had a busy few weeks upgrading Rig from a bogan desk set up to a TR80 profile set up, which has been an experience.
prompted a few little ideas for custom tune, which has got it just where I want it.
probably the biggest changes in last year, but actually very small on face of it.
Still very much in keeping with original 5.0.1.3ish file from Karsten & co. which is always the first file you should try if new.
So structure can be compared across this and original for those that like to do their own thing and cross check.
I dont expect any changes from here unless there a significant change in what Rieza output underneath.
Link will live in my signature as always .

 

I tested the t70 belt version on my g29 and it worked wonderfully

hell it’s even helping me to be smoother on faster corners, as well as gaging me the feedback I wanted (kerbs vibration) I did had to tweak the suspension text a bit to feel better the direct impacts from kerbs and I re enabled flat spots cuz I like that immersion.

but overall great file, good job Daniel Kart!

 

I tried the latest rfuktor file, and I dont get any oscillitation in the garage now. If i switch to default\default+ or the v70 file, I get bad oscilliation when the engine is off.

 

If I got Daniel right, the raise your damper step by step until the oscillation disappears., but not more than necessary. On my DD1 the wheel whiiggles slightly, when I take my hands off the wheel while standing. Maybe you should give the V70 a second chance and adjust your base properly, mate ;-)

 

I can actually fling the wheel to one side or the other, and the wheel settles back to center with no drama (hands off). AMS2 ffb actually provides a wide margin for optimal damping to suit both hardware and user preference, if users take advantage of it.

 

I think what "Projupiter" is trying to say is the oscillations when the car is stationary and the engine is not running. I recently pointed out that the defaults have gotten really extreme since update 1.4...... They can be felt very weakly on my customs and I have to help the steering wheel to get these oscillations. Well, for me it is no problem to change something in the file. Yes, it would be very easy to change it in the file, but it would not be good for the cars' handling and it would have negative effects. But there is a very simple way to make this better (for the people who don't like it). Just increase the damping on the base (not in the game with Customs), at 30 you will hardly feel anything at 40 it will remain completely calm. Use your settings on the base like the two posts before me said

 

Can anyone suggest a custom file for a Thrustmaster T818?

 

I identified a missing line in @Danielkart files.
Just add this missing line, after line 952 (v70):

(right_bump_pos (max right_bump_pos right_bump))

 

I have settled on the latest rfuktor file in this thread for the moment. Always seem to spend more time messing with settings than actually driving.

Let me know what you think, or if you find better settings.

Kuku Custom rFuktor FFB

Thrustmaster control panel
Rotation: 1080
Gain:100%
Damper:20%
Mode: Performance

AMS2
Gain: 40
LFB: 10
FX: 25
Damper:0

 

Thanks, will give it a try
