Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

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.

 

Also with their recommended Fanatec settings?

 

I think so. I’ve used their fanatec settings when I’ve seen them but I don’t think every file I’ve tried has recommended fanatec settings. Thanks for helping by the way.

 

Well removing the inertia and dampening in the Fanatec settings could help, but also increasing FX helps. I use Kuku’s file with my CSL DD and IMO it’s very informative

 

I do feel it is more informative than the default and default + profiles, but it felt sluggish to me. It didn’t feel snappy or responsive.

 

In file
try reducing ( rack_friction )
And then increasing ( centering )

 

Try this. https://forum.reizastudios.com/attachments/ffb_custom_settings-txt.31483/

 

You are not the first to want to copy a simulation. Like everyone else, you will fail because Ams2 will always be Ams2 with its own physics and FFB. The hype around Le Mans is huge. Also through the countless YouTubers who feed their fanboys. My tip to your question: If you like a simulation, stick with it and don't try to copy anything. And in the end it comes down to personal taste. You think it's good, I think it's bad and rate it as a 1:1 rf2 mod. You see, it's all very subjective and everyone has a different opinion about it

 

One thing you can try, and is not FFB related, is to increase steering sensitivity - I haven't try LMU yet but rF2 steering is much more sensitive around the center. In AMS2, going from default 50 to 75-100 will get you closer to what rF2 (LMU?) does.

 

Thanks! I will do more testing to see if I get to a good point.

Thank you very much! I have tried your changes to the file and I like them. Fanatec settings are similar than what I had already. I have switched to PEAK because I find it stronger as you say, and I have FFB strength set to 100% and Force Effect Intensity to 70 (too much rattling at 100 for my taste).

I have tried with the Porsche GT3 Gen 2 and definitely it feels more planted and less slippery. I have a better feeling of what the car is doing with this file and wheel settings, so I will keep trying with other cars and tracks to see if it does the trick for me

 

Ok, looks I use Default+. Is Default+ correct and are those the correct settings? What I noticed: the resistance and so on is fine, but I'd like to have more difference between "everything is alright" and "you are losing it".
