    Hello friends! Reiza announced that the physics will be adjusted again until update 1.5. So, unlike previously assumed, 1.4 is not the "final" physics. I think that will also give me new V80 Customs, but only after the physics update 1.5 (I assume this summer) In addition, I will get a Simucube Pro in the next few days. I think this will give me new information and feedback for the next Customs. Until then I wish you a nice time and enjoy your hobby simracing:)

    Hey easy81! Yes, it will be very interesting because then I can compare the Fanatec dd1 with the Simucube 2 Pro 1 to 1. I think the more information, the better the result can be. Well, I'm very curious about the result;)

    would be nice to include gear change 'clunk' with the G Pro
    wheel . this was done in pcars 3 and is quite a nice feedback
    feel.

    This idea may seem obvious (because it is)--and maybe everyone here already does it--but I'll suggest the idea anyway, as I found it helpful when recently comparing several custom-FFB files:

    In addition to helping to manage custom liveries and AI files, etc. in the main AMS2 folder, a second copy of the evergreen utility JSGME can be extracted into the Documents\Automobilista 2 folder to organize and switch between various custom FFB files. Just put each ffb_custom_settings.txt file in its own folder (separated by version & author) within the Documents\Automobilista 2\mods folder and use JSGME to activate whichever one you want to test. Once set up, I found this much easier than manually transferring and overwriting different custom-FFB files during testing.

    I take it you can`t switch them while the game is running ?

    Sadly, I'm not aware of a method for hotswitching between FFB profiles in-game ... or if it's even possible.

    By the way, for others' convenience, I already have numerous FFB files (all by other authors, like Daniel, tUMi, Manolo/Stakanov, etc.) separated into individual folders to expedite switching between them using JSGME. Is it permissible for me to post that here as a single download? I'll only include files that are already publically posted within this thread (and I can provide links to the authors' original posts), and I'll include all pertinent information about whose files are in my compendium. There were a few authors who provided updated in-game settings, so I added that information as a # line within those files, and all of Daniel's V70 files include the missing "right_bump_pos" line; otherwise, all the files are as-is. Sure, it wasn't that hard to sort them into separate folders, but if it's permissible to share, someone might find it of value.

    hello John! Yes why not . There's no reason not to. If it becomes easier for people, that's a good thing:)

    Although AMS2 is a physics-based simulation, the finer and final aspects regarding FFB preferences are, in the end, subjective. Attached is a collection of custom-FFB files for AMS2 developed by the community to help make a great racing simulator even better. If there are additional files, or updated ones, that need to be added, please feel free to reach out to @john Ellis and @ricxx to help them keep things up to date. The Custom FFB Collection comes in two versions: One already includes JSGME, the other does not.

    Installation: Extract the .7z to your Documents\Automobilista 2 folder. Prior to launching AMS2, use JSGME to activate the custom-FFB file of your choice. Note: Z-Archive folders contain many earlier/previous versions in separate subfolders. To activate any of these files with JSGME, copy over the relevant subfolder to the main folder prior to installation.


    Custom FFB Files for AMS2 v2.90 includes the following files:

    Joaquim Pereira FullFFB v20
    NuScorpii - Heavy Messing v2.5 (All)

    Thanks Lab Pong! I think everyone has their own preferences and ideas about how the base settings should be. That can be very subjective and different. I just try to match it to my custom as much as possible, that's all. Ultimately, the best settings on the base are always your own and that it is right for you:)

    Hi lads. Getting a little confused trying to read back a lot of pages. I have a DD1 with the Formula V2.5 wheel and V3 pedals. What's the best custom FFB profile that can be recommended? Thanks

    always start with original 5.0.1.3 from original author’s on page one .
    Otherwise you will have no baseline to compare .

    Hi guys! After a few days with my new Simucube2 Pro Base (Fantastic Base) I got a lot of information and new feedback. But things that I already suspected with the Fanatec DD1 have also been confirmed with the Simucube. With this information and new insights, I was already able to write new V80 Customs, which are already working extremely well. Now I'm really looking forward to the physics update 1.5 from Reiza, so that I can then post the adjusted customs to you. See you and until then I wish you a good time:)
