Automobilista 2 September 2024 Development Update - The Road to V1.6 Pt2

I've been a big supporter of the Custom profile feature in AMS2 from day one. However, throughout development, the Default profiles have improved to the point that I'm quite happy with either of those for my own use. Each gives somewhat different levels of detail, but I find both to be superb options.

The Default FFB-profiles represent feedback as intended by Reiza, and I believe they have been very successful in doing that. Still, FFB remains extremely subjective in nature for each individual. We all lean toward using our senses a bit differently to translate car-handling, so to each their own where FFB is concerned.

In any case, users need to understand the significance of finding the proper balance between FFB strength (Gain) / LFB (for non-DD) / Damping. These aspects form the very foundation of AMS2 FFB. This has been the case since the early days and will remain relevant with v1.6, and beyond.

 

I understand there are indeed bigger fish but thanks for reply )

 

Cool, thanks! So no FFB setting changes required for 1.6 I understand.

 

Tyre barry-ahs will move?

 

So we can still call AMS2 as well as early access?

 

I would call it WIP

 

Reiza, Reiza, you barely finish an update and you already have more work to do. The new stock cars are looking amazing.

 

edit: sorry for the chit chat chef, didn't saw your post before posting.

(was about... cheese )

 

Yes, that should be a model (ride height, wheel size) for the road-going models!!

Sport wagons are so much better than SUVs.

 

I am out of work sick today (hopefully not COVID) and was bored, so i made a stupid song with AI while we wait for v1.6.

(PS: in reality, i am fully in the 'let reiza cook' camp but thought it was funny how this came out)

 

The problem lies right there when it comes to FFB. With the exception of gain and clipping the most common answer to FFB questions is ' just set it to what feels right to you' and ' FFB is subjective ' most new uses don't know what it should feel like, so it doesn't help.

Although there may not be the 'best' settings there is definitely worse or bad settings. Each of the settings can mute or hide information.

I think that a really in depth guide not only saying what each setting does but also what exactly should be aimed for when adjusting each settings would greatly benefit the community especially those new to AMS2 or sims in general. The guide should be included in game, so that no one misses it.

 

Awesome!!

 

@Marc Collins did an excellent post on how to develop an appropriate setting for the FFB and your wheel, probably before you joined, maybe he can remember and point it out to you.

 

Is there a way to control the front of my car ? I play with gt3 cars and I feel I am driving a mustang. I always need to correct the direction for my wheel after I turn the car. I always need to turn my wheel slowly or I will spinne.

 

I have great news to you then: the 1.6 update seems to be all about that......

 

My daily commute is 65-100km depending on the day, so pretty average. I don't know what time period your 160k was covered, but if it was a short period of time you'd surely have to realize you're an outlier to the average person. Again most people use their cars for commuting to work for the vast majority of their driving time. Just plugging in and charging at home during the evening is more than adequate for the vast majority of people who own an EV.

 

I am confident in my own abilities with the settings, it was more for those newer to sims. Although I am always willing to learn more.

The fact that such advice by Marc Collins is lost on the forum highlights my main point.

 

4 cars over 8 years so avg 20k/yr but we've been warned numerous times for off topic..

So to ask a 1.6 question to save myself, I use Maurice's Custom FFB from the Fanatec forum and have found it to be very good (he publishes tweaked Fanatec specific profiles for most games), so question is when 1.6 drops will I be best going to Default FFB or continue with Maurice's custom based on 1.5?

 

I have a bad new. 1.6 is not release
