    T500RS here

    Gain 60
    LFB 50
    FX 50
    Spring 40

    CP at stock settings

    Feels good, though I would like to have more front end information.

    Stronger than T300, sure. Don't think stronger than Fanatecs or TS-PC, so you're probably still living in the low range of the Fanatec/Thrustmster realm.
    I'd go with something similar to what Gnu009 just posted before you: 50? In the end it's you who have the wheel to try, but I'd start 50-60 in your case.

    Thx, @SmaSy
    I tried 60 on LFB and the bumps on the straight of Campogrande came back to life a little bit.
    But, on slow turns the strenght of the torque is quite heavy, and I'm worried about my steering wheel.
    Also, the long fast corners are a little less "heavy" than the slow ones, and this is a weird effect. I don't wan't to increase my GAIN on AMS2. It's just too heavy.

    Thx @Gnu009 and @SmaSy !

    T300RS

    Gain 60/70 (it depends on car)
    LFB 50
    FX 50
    Spring 40

    CP 95% and stock settings for the rest

    I've noted that the GAIN also effect on LFB. So a low GAIN scales also the value of the LFB. Or at least, I think.
    Now all seems more balanced. All is more progressive without gaps or strenght difference between slow and fast corners.
    Wow!

    Too strong. It's one of the only cars left that is too harsh. But I am sure there are many other vehicles that feel perfect for me that feel "toyish" for you. I am only happy that about 90% of the vehicles all feel calibrated well, which is a big improvement from a week ago or a month ago.

    That would be absolutely true if more than a couple of vehicles were affected and all the others were not already nicely consistent!

    Are people actually trying to get the same 'Weight/strength' for every car?

    No, man. I just dial in the ideal FFB. And then you've cars that feel light, balanced and heavier. Just as it is. :cool: If every car feels the same then I am doing something wrong.

    Hello All,

    Those of you who have been around for long might remember that I used to develop direct drive FFB electronics and software back in 2012-2014.

    For the devs: I have had a quick look at the AMS2 FFB and noticed that the sim outputs a sine effect request when entering a car (in my case the Ultima street car), as per below. I am not sure what the point of this request is, since both magnitude and period of the sine is zero. My FFB code did not like this :)
    The sim also changes the gain to different values in consecutive requests, but with magnitude = 0, which does not seem to make sense either.

    BR Fredric

    PS users: The AMS2 FFB update rate seems to be 200 Hz (as you might know already)

    We need to up that FFB update rate to 720 :cool:

    The stronger the FFB, the greater the disparity between cars. DD-wheels have much more range so the force-level differences can be massive as things are now. A per-car strength level setting will solve that in any case.

    I have mine all set to 50 on my DD1 and I reckon this game gives me the best ffb I have experienced in any Sim.

    I've set to between 50 and 68 gain and 30 to 40 LFB and 0 FX on my CSWv2. If I raise FX I seem to loose front end feel. I also set to Aut on my base and let the sim set DOR per car and it works really well. I found that the karts Clip quite early but haven't played too much with them all other cars seem near perfect with the settings I showed.
