Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

Hey Michael!
What kind of base do you use?Which file?Your IN-game settings?

 

Man, ten billion of thanks for these. Absolutely the best FFB I have had in AMS2 so far (CSL DD 8Nm, latest beta). Gigantisch gut!

 

@Danielkart Many thanks for these files!
I've been using your files for a long time and they have always felt great, but this latest v400 is next level. I can feel a lot more detail and cars are actually easier to drive. Great work!

(fyi CSL 8Nm using 6-8Nm file)

 

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, it is actually interesting for me to know which base. This way I can improve the files next time if necessary. But I think the V400 will be fun for many months. I don't see any need to change anything at the moment
Enjoy Ams2 and have fun with the files

 

I couldn't agree more. I have been using your files for several months now but the v400 is a huge step forward. I run a simucube 2 pro with pretty heavy ffb and your heaviest v400 file has completely eliminated any oscillation...and feels absolutely fantastic!

 

@Danielkart

Using a TS-PC base here, and the V400 number 3 file 6-8 nm

With dampening turned off in the driver and in game 0, i'm still feeling a heavy amount of dampening? What setting do i adjust to experiment with lower amounts?

Thx

 

Hello! I know there are bases that work a little differently with the forces, including Logitech and TS PC Base. It's difficult for me to say what they can do because I don't know the base. Try the 4th file with the same settings. This might help because this file works with less force and therefore with less damping. The 2nd option is to change a value in this line:

(steering_angle_rack (* (+ steering_angle_FL steering_angle_FR) 0.75 3.14159265 ratio_scale))

Change the value 0.75 to 0.6 .

Maybe another custom for your base is better, that can of course be the case. Also try files from other modders

 

Yes, file 4 is a much better fit. My base is belt driven and around 6nm, so i hadn't considered the fourth one. I'll play about with it and see what settings are best.

Thanks again!

 

Yes, Thrustmaster and Logitech sometimes process the forces a little differently and the damping is also processed differently. It may make sense to use a different file

 

I always try every new Customs, just to come back to your files, thank you!

FIle 2 is The choice for my TM-TX even It seems it a bit overdamped.
File 3 is less informative but overdamped too.

Will try your suggestion to reduce damping some posts ago.

 

Hello Daniel, I also use the Simucube 2 Pro. I first tested the V400 12-13 Nm. Filter out everyone on the base and use the same settings as yours. Get 55 in game and FX 15. I just wish it was a little tighter in the middle. Thanks

 

Hi Michael!
To make the middle a little tighter you can use a little friction on your base 2-3% should be enough. However, I wouldn't recommend more than about 6-7%. Friction causes the wheel to oscillate if it is set too high. You can also test this outside of the game. Go to the base settings (Truedrive) and increase friction. Depending on the wheel (size and weight) it will start to swing. Of course, they also take this swinging into the game. That's why it's better to have no friction or only very little to make the middle a tighter
littleIncreasing your in-game value from 55% to 62% will also give you more center. The file is precisely tailored to this 62%. tighter
Increasing your in-game value from 55% to 62% will also give you more center. The file is precisely tailored to this 62%.

 

Is there a custom FFB file you would recommend for a CSL Elite belt-driven wheelbase? Right now, I'm just using the Default+.

 

This post has so many topics that I'm lost, what would be the best option for a Thrustmaster TSPC? What page would the file be on?

 

Hi @Danielkart thanks for the new V400, nice but a bit too "heavy" for my old wheel due to the reduced slide factor I think. You do all the hard work which leaves me the easyish job of fine tuning for my wheel.
@BeefyPeeg try one of the latest on these last few pages.
As usual here's my csw 2.5 modded file.

 

Hey buddy, that's what these customs are for. I have already received very good advice and improvements from you. I believe these files are now in a state where they can be perfectly set for all bases with very little intervention. Of course, personal taste always plays a decisive role. When I have more time again I will enjoy and drive Ams2 again without writing customs

 

Thanks, will do!

 

I have been carefully tweaking Daniel's V300 on my CSL DD, even though I'm no expert I feel compelled to share this one again.

It strikes a superb middle ground where the wheel is realistically both light and dampened at center, and yet provide a vivid and accurate feedback in every stage of a curve, without ever giving into excess.

Short story: reasonable/immersive forces and extremely wide/informative spectrum.

All settings are provided in file.

Thanks again for this gem Daniel !

 

Is there a custom file out there that is based off of/close to Default+? I enjoy the feel of Default+ but not the biggest fan of the exaggerated road noise so would like to tone that down.

 

I am also a fan of Default+ maybe you can lower the FX slider a bit.
