Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

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

Daniel

 

Cheers, same to you and everyone here.

 

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

 

I updated The Custom-FFB Collection to include more recent variants. [Update: v2.6a moves earlier FullFFB versions to the Z-Appendix area. The most current version (v7 for now) remains in the main folder.]

Thanks to @ricxx for listing the most recent updates and to @Joaquim Pereira for clarifying the origins of his FullFFB series.

 

Hey man, tx for NAMeS! maybe your can help me. After all my mods have been installed, the F Hitech and other, revert back to fictional names like Fenstermacher. Weird though is the xml file in custom liveries does have the correct names?

 

That one doesn't have Drivers names in it. Drivers names are in the UserData\CustomAIDrivers folder.

 

I’ll PM you my suggestions.

 

Just wanted to share my settings on a Thrustmaster T300 RS cause right now AMS2 is feeling fantastic.

In TM profile:


In game:
Gain: 55
LFB: 0
FX: 10-20
Damper: 0

Mostly using Default+ and feels great with most cars, for open wheelers it feels way to twitchy and I switch to the following custom ffb: Manolo & Stakanov 05 ATMOS - MOD V1.4 FIX.

This custom ffb also feels great with a lot of cars, best I've tried without any tweaking and using the same settings as the Default+.

Let me know your thoughts if you are on same wheel

 

might want to repost this in the V1.4 FFB thread for those Thrustmaster users who use either of the default profiles. BTW, your wheel is well within the “every wheel other than a G25/G27 needs some amount of Damping” as recommended by Reiza … I assume you have concluded that any Damping is less desirable than the 0 you employ?

 

For ABS I don't know, but for that brake feeling (I don't like it as well) you can search for "Brake Feel" in the lines, it is about 2.5 multiplier, and I turned it to 1.0, much better.

I have to say, this custom FFB is the best for the game and should at least be part of the standard game as something like "Community custom".

 

I'll repost in that forum, didn't know it existed. Tried with dampening for some time and it was OK, when I went back to 0 damping just found it so much more consistent and prefer it so much more (on non-open wheel cars at least). It now feels similar to rfactor. That being said the custom ffb I'm using essentially feels like a dampened muted default+ and feels great on many cars.
Also, dislike damping in other sims, and no profiles on TM, so just prefer one size fits all, don't have to mess with the TM panel when I switch sims.

 

Reiza were willing to add rFuktor to main game as an an included option , but memory issue's or something like that made it difficult to add any more than existing profiles.
and quite frankly i would imagine it would require some internal maintenance as part of physics and ffb updating ,that i’m sure they haven’t got time to do.

 

It would be great if we could load a new file anytime in-game or, at least, possible from the main menu (without a game restart). That would relieve my suffering a lot .

Of course, 476.3 addicional sliders would also help .
