Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

General advice (me included) using TM driver/firmware updates.
The update process overwhrite TM control panel settings to the fabric default.

JP v11 was giving terrible rattles to my TM TX till I dicovered the real culprit, and now I can feel the beauty of JP11.

Edit: Sorry, too much joint and rattles yet, my TX looks like my old G25. Editing, while come back to v10 is an option.

 

Comparing to your v10 the FFB in v11 is a lot rougher and has more oscillations on my Asetek Invicta base.

So i changed the following parameters in v11 ...

Code:

(scrub_scale_front 1.4)
(scrub_scale_rear 2.0)
...
(rack (* rack_scaled vehicle_ffb_gain 1.5))

...back to the values in v10.

Code:

(scrub_scale_front 1.4)
(scrub_scale_rear 1.5)
...
(rack (* rack_scaled vehicle_ffb_gain))

For me it feels better with these values. Less twitchy and not that much overwhelming tire scrub effects.

 

These values changes or fixes the oscilations? Because with my Simagic Alpha the oscilations are big and heavier XD (v11)

 

Not really fixing it, but lesser oscillations.

 

I think the oscillations are produced by something physical in the geometry or the car that translates to the FFB, as well as the dead or empty centre area that is felt. The oscillations at low speed are not noticeable (although the FFB graph shows noise or signal), but when you accelerate up to a certain speed the oscillations become present and very strong, and when you brake, the whole duration of braking, the steering wheel oscillates even more beastly.

 

Hey guys, I just got my Clubsport DD and I have two questions:

- I am running the base in CSW 2.5 compatibility mode; will there be direct support in a later update?
- The options are, compared to my Thrustsmaster 300, pretty overwhelming. How do I set the Force Feedback up? For the time being, I just did this:

Is that ok? Do I have to make any ingame settings so that what is in Fanalab is actually conveyed to or adapted by AMS2?

I mainly drive Formula 1 cars from Lotus 98T to McLaren MP 4/8, should that be relevant.

 

AFAIK compatibility mode doesn’t matter. Set the force feedback up using the tuning menu. Fanalab auto does everything

 

So that is correct?


Regarding the compatibility, if I do not put the base in comp mode, AMS2 will not recognize the wheel.

 

Seems so and I agree with the compatibility issues. What FFB are you using?

 

And if you have the time, try also to filter false positive ABS as it adds a lot of unwanted reactions to the wheel.
I know false positives are Reiza's responsbility, anyway if you can by pass it'll be good.

Edit: Using Porsche 911 GT3 Cup 4.0 Default setup at Indianapolis - Road Course
Edit2: False positives at coasting phase and reaccelerating, no brakes at all.

 

I don't understand the question what FFB I am using . It is a Fanatec Clubsport DD w McLaren GT3 V2 wheel.

 

Are you using default, default+ or custom FFB?

 

"Default+" sounds familiar to me, although I do not remember where I saw it - where can I look that up?

 

Send a screenshot of your FFB settings in AMS2

 

I'm trying to soften the feel of the kerbs, anyone know what this line does?
(kerbs_surface_smooth 0.03)

 

You could try the line above that one,
(kerbs_surface_scale 9.0)
This will make them more or less exaggerated. Try 8.0 to see if that softens it too much. Then just adjust from there to get it where you like it.

 

Don't know, but macro_details gives more/less kerb effect

 

I am on a fanatech CSL DD. After trying all of the most popular ffb files here, I haven’t been able to get a feel that I like compared to games like Le Mans Ultimate. Le Mans Ultimate has such a quicker response on the tires whereas AMS just feels sluggish and like there’s a weight dangling from each side of my wheel. I have tried a lot of the different versions of rFuktor, the Danielkart files, the fullFFB, among a few others I’ve found.

none of them felt very pointy or informative. They all felt dull and sluggish and it was difficult to tell what the car was doing. In LMU when you take a high speed corner where the tires are fighting for grip you can feel it each time the tires bounce as they fight to maintain grip. I guess I’m looking for the fastest response ffb that I can get.

Thanks in advance for any help. I am really trying to like this game as the AI are a lot of fun to race against.

 

Have you used the correct settings and have you tried Kuku’s file?

 

I tried Kukus tuned rfuktor file and I’ve tried all ffb files with the recommended in game settings.
