    That one I have found, thanks! Went to look for it when you talked about it in your first reply. Haven't test it yet thought.
    I was trying Kuku's one, and it's nice, but until now it still did not clicked with me.
    If I have the time, tomorrow I will try that one :)

    Try this post. It has all the Custom FFB files in one zip file. FFB is a very personal thing. What someone may love, another will be less than happy with. Best to try them and see what clicks with you.

    So I finally got my new moza motherboard and have spent all day tuning Karstens latest file to my taste. There are things I like in Danielkarts files (road feel), and things I like in Karstens files (steering), so I made a tune of the two. It is the Hybrid File V1.

    Damn, I mostly used yours on my T300RS. I have my Moza R9 for less then 1 week now, and now you have a Moza also... What a beautiful coincidence, luck is on my side for sure! :D
    Thanks a lot for your sharing and work!

    @Alegunner68
    I'm new here, where do you get all the files from? Is there a central repository?

    Thanks for posting yours. Would help to know what wheel base you use.

    Check Michael Enright post 4 above yours.
    He shared a link to a post where a guy have made a zip file with most of the available profiles.

    It's the Moza R12. And the file was Karstens from a couple or a few pages ago.

    Hey Allegunner! Glad you're going your own way. I won't go into these files anymore because I'm absolutely happy with my customs. I hope you have fun with your new base and many happy hours with it. Merry Christmas buddy

    The choice of wheel is, in my opinion, the most important factor behind the file itself.Personally, I have 4 different wheels, all of which are different in size and weight.If I change my wheel then I also change my file.It can change the whole feeling with the vibrations with the pendulums with the inertia with the damping and friction with the rotation speed.That's why there will always be very different opinions and experiences even though people use the same file.And of course there are countless other factors as well.Taking these countless and different factors into account is very difficult and can only be done with recommendations and compromises.No matter whether it comes from Reiza or from a base manufacturer or from us modders.In the end, what counts is your own taste and what you expect from a simulation

    So love this. Will make testing so much easier. Thank you for finding a way for more to enjoy the dedication of others. This type of customization is one of the best parts of sim racing.

    I genuinely appreciate the compliment, but 99.99% of the work in this instance was accomplished by the authors of the custom-FFB files. I was just some oddball guy scurrying around organizing and compiling relevant AMS2 information into convenient packages. @ricxx does a great job posting updates before I get around d to updating my collection.

    Happy New Year!

    Your work and that of ricxx help people to find their way better in the world of customs. Otherwise it is almost impossible for newcomers to find their way around. A big thank you to both of you for that;)

    Hi. I installed a custom FFB file months ago, I can't remember which one I am a little lost in these hundreds of pages...
    I love it but just 2 things I would like to adjust though, maybe you can help me find what lines to look for in the file:
    - The wheel gets harder to turn when braking, ok but it's a little too hard for me
    - I would like to feel some shaking when ABS kicks in, like in RF2.

    Thanks for your help.

    We have to thank all of you! :) @Danielkart I fully agree with John, you're the ones that do the hard and time consuming work. I myself am just posting things in a thread.

    Just look inside the file, the name/version should be there.
    About ABS, Reiza doesn't provide that info (as far as I know, I asked for it).

    The brake tremor when braking can already be felt in the wheel. ABS should be easier to feel in the brake pedal due to pulsating vibrations. There are already hardware solutions for this. For example, the Haptic pedals from Simagic or the Simucube active pedals. But especially with Simucube, it is very expensive and few people will be able to afford it. Other pedal manufacturers will surely follow soon
