Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

I would only use LFB on very weak older belt bases, maybe 10-20%. And especially on gear bases from Logitech, here I would use a lot of LFB, around 50%. However, if you have a dd base I wouldn't use an LFB. The torque of these bases is high enough and does not need any reinforcement in the middle. In addition, there are disadvantages in the steering when using LFB

 

He daniel, i have the cs dd 12nm in base i use 100% ffb strenght and in the game i use your custom v3 file and the settings you advice but only gain in game on 35% because i found 65% to heavy for me. Is it wright that i better lowering the gain in base and stay with 65% in game for the details?

 

Thanks mate, much better now! It went from ripping of my Arms down to only braking my wrists, but that's something I can live with

FFB never felt better in AMS2! Legend!

 

Yes, definitely stick to 60-65% gain in the game because that way you get the most details without getting clipped. Lower the force on your base until you like it. People usually drive with too much power on the base. Remember that a force of around 9-11Nm is also present in reality. Only the karts can achieve forces of up to 20Nm

 

is it possible to have the .txt of the DEFAULT+ profile?
Thanks

 

thanks daniel i will try to lower the ffb in the base. does it work like that in all sims? also in ACC? and LMU?

 

No, every simulation is different

 

Anyone can recommend a good Truedrive profile for v1.6, either with a default set or a custom ffb?

 

No, it's basically ready, but I would like to check it on other cars before release.

LFB will fill your low end, giving you a stronger overall feeling. Marc is right, usually is not needed, but it will always be a matter of taste. I certainly used it on my TS-PC before, not a DD but about the same torque figures.

 

I have a Simagic Alpha with a GT Neo wheel. I have tried with 60 to 65 in-game and around 45 on the base as well as around 25-30 in-game and 80ish on the base. Both ways I have the problem/issue as @wuRSti1909. The effect feels pretty much the same either way. As soon as the car, any car, starts to spin, the base becomes exceptionally heavy. Will reducing oversteer scale help at all in this case? Other than that, I really like your latest file. Thanks Daniel.

 

Are you Remco (moderator) from old WMD forum days?

 

Many thanks for your awesome ffb updates and releases.
I randomly saw your name\release on a youtube comment and decided to give it a whirl this evening, very impressed (only using a TS-XW at the mo). I've used the suggested settings and don't really feel the need to make any adjustments, granted I'm just a casual player, haven't even tried online racing yet.
AMS2 + AC are heaps of fun (esp with mods), very much enjoying them and rarely ever go to the other sims now.

 

Hello, racers I noticed that ffb AMS2 is fundamentally different from ffb AC / ACC / LMU in that when understeering the steering wheel in AMS2 becomes heavier, and in other simulators it is the opposite - lighter, and to be honest I like it better when it is lighter (tires lose grip on the track and the wheels turn easily because they slide). I want to have a relevant driving experience and not learn to drive in AMS2 again. Now I am using ATMOS Mod V1.6.1 (4-rFuktorBaseEVO + Partial NDef_imm). Maybe someone knows what settings need to be tweaked in this file or some other file to get rid of the steering wheel hardening when understeering? I play on the Moza R5 steering wheel.

 

Are you still braking at this point?

 

Yes, as a rule, all this happens at the moment of braking and turning towards the apex

 

I understand the physics of this process: the wheels are overloaded due to the braking force and centrifugal force acting on them, and as a result the car moves along a wider trajectory or does not turn at all, and the wheels slip, losing traction with the asphalt. So it seems logical to me that turning them should become easier.
P.S. The ABS system is disabled.

 

Hey Michael!
No, reducing the oversteer does exactly the opposite and makes it even harder. Reduce the understeer a little to suit your taste. That will reduce the power

Addendum: You can also reduce both values together

 

Ah, OK, Thank you. I will Try it later.

 

Question for the FFB specialists here:
If a car loses grip, a wheel can still convey 2 things:
a) a lighter steering wheel, as there is no more grip or
b) a vibration during sliding

With AC I have the vibrations, here in AMS I have the feeling with various files that the wheel becomes light and you feel almost nothing.

What is your goal?
Greetings Oliver

 

Fair enough. I would have guessed if you brake hard the weight transfers forwards and the front tyres have loads of load and grip - but the car won't turn because you're braking.

Whereas if you're travelling fast, especially if you transfer weight to the rear and try to turn the front tyres I'd expect the front tyres to have little load and grip.
