    If the psychics are changed the ffb will change also, they are not separate from each other

    Good morning
    My customs from the V6000 series have already been adapted to the new hysteresis. They were mainly tuned for the Formula Ultimate Gen2. Of course, I can now vote even more precisely with the definitive update 1.6. But it will remain the V6000 series (probably V6000 extreme 3) because this file is now very mature and is very precisely tailored to the bases. I don't think the driving behavior has fundamentally changed with the update, although I haven't had time to test it yet. But I read that all the standard setups of the cars were adapted by Reiza. That's why I think there may be more customization from the custom files to the standard setups than to the actual Reiza 1.6 update since my files are always based on the standard setups. Tomorrow I will have time to test this big update. It seems there is a lot to discover, not just physics and the FFB, and I'm looking forward to it:)

    Yes, thanks, I'll take a look at it and test what the update did. Thanks for your feedback;)

    Good morning I have only tested it briefly myself and your settings worked brilliantly with the new update I look forward to any future updates and I look forward to hearing what you think yourself once you have had adequate time with V1.6

    Sorry, I don't have the R9. I suppose it is the "same" as R12.
    You can use any file you want, but the last one is the "current one".
    The different versions are the path I took to get where I am now, but some still prefer, for instance, v13 - it's up to you ;).

    I had an R9 until recently and Joaquim Full FFB versions were spot on for me so just give it a try

    play with gain lob fx and damping sliders in Game though to match your exact preference and also the car you drive

    I confirm that the latest ATMOS files all sound great on the new version of the game 1.6.3, after all they were already tested in the game in beta version. The immersive is my favorite file but the others are no joke either. ;)

    @Stakanov, do you have any other rabbits in your hat to pull out?

    I agree, a fairy tale about both my little animals.

    When he is on a spiritual retreat or in silence the cat press broods on us (I don't know if google translates this well). :)

    Look at my signature, it shows the values of the sliders I use in game (use these as a starting point and find your own tastes). I use the ATMOS Old_D_Raw on the Logitech G29 and the ATMOS Immersive on the Logitech G Pro, you can find them a few pages back in the latest version 1.6.1, they work great with the latest game update as they have already been beta tested. :)

    Apples to apples, keep in mind that AMS1 FFB did include the option to set LFB if desired, and the default AMS1 wheel profile for the G25 loaded with a LFB setting of 60, FWIW.

    In any event, I added your custom file the FFB Collection. Welcome to the party.

    Hi!

    You save the 'ffb_custom_settings.txt' to your PC, then you copy and paste the file into ...\Documents\Automobilista 2. It will then ask if you want to overwrite your old file. You click yes.

    Ingame - I have GAIN at 50, and the other sliders do nothing. Hope this helps in some way. :)

    Hello Guys,

    Hope Someone can help me. Personally I would like the default and default+ (depending on car class) but the strong vibrations in some cars are driving me crazy. Even with ingame Damping 50 and FX 0 its way too much for my taste, so i have to set additionally smoothing on my wheelbase (Fanatec DD) to get rid of it. But then the signals are way too muted and becoming laggy. Tried some of the customs from here, unfortunately they are too mutet for my taste. Like I said, I do like the baseline of the defaults with its strong feeling of weight transfer etc but hate the strong vibrations.

    Tried also the Reiza Basic custom ffb file. It is not what I'm looking for as it disables not only the vibrations but also other kinds of additional effects like additional weight transfer and brake feel (at least it seems to me)

    So now to my question:
    Maybe it is possible to make a command for a custom ffb file that is basically the default+ or default but only disables or lowers all this small vibrations? Unfortunately I dont know exactly if its coming from engine vibrations, road texture vibrations or a combination of both.

    Thanks in advance und sry for eventually bad english as I'm not a native speaker.

    I’m a bit lost having been away from this for a while. What’s the latest and ‘best’ file for a csldd? Going through 400+ pages isn’t the most efficient way of looking, and I’m out of the loop of what ‘works’. Any help appreciated thanks

    I'm using this one (BaseEVO + Partial NDef_imm):
    Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

    This has also been updated for v1.6
    Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

    (updated) FWIW my in-game settings are: 60-70/5-10/35/0 and Fanatec CP settings: FFB 100/ Peak/ NDP 0/ NFR 7/ NIN 0/ INT 1/ FEI 60 (reduce harsh vibrations) / FOR 90 (reduce harsh vibrations).
    I have small hands/wrists, but this suits me. Tested only with LMP2/LMDh so far because I'm addicted.

    More Force = More Grip (steering is strong)
    Less Force = Less Grip (steering feels Light)

    Suellio Almeida is a Sim Racer and a professional Race Driver an explained the FFB so well in his new Video.


    for my muscle memory i always try FFB files where the steering goes light, if the front axle loses grip. For me its one of the fun parts in sim racing to find that perfect point in every corner. Feeling the edge of grip:)

    I Adjust the newest ATMOS BASE EVO V.1.6.1 for that Kind of Feelings from The Video

    I may have found another use for your barest-of-bones rack force file, Alex. I fired it up in the sim and used it to find a suitable Gain value (no clipping) in the F-USA at Indy oval (Gain of 60 on my G25). Then I switched back to Reiza’s basic tune and kept Gain at 60 with the typical G25 LFB at 60. Voila … now I can switch between all three profiles in the game and never touch a setting. Technically, that’s been my approach to tuning Reiza’s profiles for a few years now (start with basic tune to set Gain and LFB), but your even simpler rack force file may help some users fine tune their ideal Gain value even finer before activating a Reiza tune.

    Hi
    I have the same problem
    I'm owner a DD2 fanatec.
    Unfortunately, it is not possible to use Default+ with a fanatec DD2 base . Due to the large oscillations of the steering wheel, something is not right in that combination.

    I use only default profile with these settings in game
    Gain 25-30
    LFB 0
    FX 12 (upper values cause oscillations)
    Damping 0 (Upper values cause oscillations)

    On the side of the DD base software
    SEN AUTO
    FFB 100
    FFS PEAK
    NDP 5
    NFR 5
    NIN 0-7 (depends the weight of the wheel you use)
    INT 7
    FEI 70 (reduce vibrations)
    FOR 100
    SPR OFF
    DPR OFF

    As you describe the oscillations in default+, it is impossible to eliminate them without losing the details of the ffb

    There are several reasons why it is not working for you with your Fanatec dd2.

    1. With Ams2 it is wrong (in contrast to other simulations) to set the base to 100% gain unless you have a base with little power.You should adjust your base gain in the game.This means that your dd2 should have a gain of around 65% in the game, from this value you can set your power on the base.As a rule, your power on the base should then be between 9-12Nm (depending on the car and your taste) 2. Fanatec dd1 and dd2 have (in my opinion) not good internal FFB software, which can lead to strange results. 3. You will not be able to eliminate these vibrations (not even with a different dd) at Default +.Unless you reduce the forces on the belt or gear values, but that doesn't make sense with a dd base. 4. Yes, increasing the damping in the game will cause you even more vibrations, unfortunately it is still like that
