    Did you try FX slider at 40-60% ?

    * Suspension/load effect improved. Roads feel more 3d. With FX slider set to 0 only the load feeling is more dynamic. With higher FX the suspension effect is felt, which is improved as well.
    * Slightly more oversteer feeling kept on rear grip loss.
    * Tires feel slightly more pumped.

    Is this the best so far?

    I tried the "blended" version above and I liked it. I did set the PSA to 1.40 instead of 1.5. (just my own preferences)
    As far as mitigating that front to rear pivot imbalance, I just tweak the set up to compensate for it. Each car class is different, so I won't say do this or do that. You'll need to figure that out for yourself. You, or someone else might actually like that.

    Hi Daniel! Thanks for the quick response!

    I can't seem to find the option to privately message you. I'm new to this forum, I tried looking for it lol. But I attached my current Simucube Tuner settings and AMS2 in-game settings.

    Should I enable high torque mode or leave it disabled?

    @Karsten Hvidberg I'm curious, is there a car/track combo you like to use when tuning your FFB?

    Hey guys!

    I'll be updating the "V7000 Topspeed 4" with new bases in the next few days.

    3 new PXN dd bases and 4 new VNM dd bases. These bases will be found in the following files, as listed below:

    - PXN VD10 (10 Nm) File 7
    - PXN VD6 (6 Nm) File 8
    - PXN VD4 (4 Nm) File 8

    - VNM Xtreme (32 Nm) File 7 (tested base)
    - VNM Supreme (25 Nm) File 7
    - VNM Elite (18 Nm) File 7
    - VNM Premier (13 Nm) File 7

    As you may already know, this new VNM base has become an absolute highlight for me personally and the new "gold standard" for dd bases.

    See you soon

    * Simplified Suspension.
    * Improved rear tires peak slip angle stuff.
    * "Boost band" for oversteer boosting, so it is only boosted in a band. It kicks in harder than before, but then drops, so it won't wreck your arms & maybe it's also better for riding on the limit of the rear tires.

    Let me know what you think.

    @Danielkart I have to give you a huge shoutout for your ffb files. I was using V6000 for a while and was really happy with how detailled the ffb is. I never had issues with the Standard+, but your files are definitely a good step up.

    So today I finally thought I will try your V7000 V4 with your recommended settings for the game and my Fanatec setup. This blew me away, it feels like a real gamechanger. I have absolutely no clue how you did this compared to V6000 (which was already great), but the cars feel so planted now. If I try to describe it best I would say you now nailed how tires stick to ground and build up resistance, so your steering actually has to "fight" the grip of the rolling tires to force the car into rotation.

    Everybody who has issues with any slippery feeling left in 1.6.6 should definitely go for it (including the recommended game + wheelbase settings)

    Thanks, buddy:)
    For me, one of the biggest weaknesses in AMS2 is the "flying feeling" and the sliding of the cars, which of course is primarily related to the physics (tire physics). But with a custom FFB file, I can greatly improve this feeling or even eliminate it for many cars. And together with the right in-game and base settings, this feeling on the steering axis can be further improved, which is why I place so much emphasis on the different bases and technologies. I'm currently working on expanding the V7000 Topspeed 4 with new bases so that people can enjoy a stress-free and uncomplicated time with AMS2.

    That's a pretty limited perspective if you only like GT3 Gen2 cars. First of all, we're in Ams2, a simulation that offers a wide variety of cars from different eras, which is exactly why I like Ams2. There are other simulations for that if you only want to play GT3.

    Personally, it's important to me that all the cars (of course there are differences) feel right. My customs and all the settings are also tailored to the standard setups of the cars. I believe that if it works well for the standard setups of the cars, then it will get even better with the right setup changes to the car , or in other words I know that it will be better with my own setups which I also adjust for myself personally.
    But I am not responsible for that, and there are several very good threads in this forum and good people who are very intensively involved with it :)

    Thats true. I like hypercar, gt3 gen2, gt4 and gt1. I didn’t find any others sims that have 70 tracks and decent AI and graphic.

    There's a lot more that makes Ams2 so good. Think of VR; there's nothing better in my eyes.Think of the immersion of Ams2, including the accompanying immersive hardware. Cars, tracks, as you mentioned, and much more :)
