Automobilista 2 Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

That was a great ffb update,,,,love it,,,,,,, can't wait for the per car ffb settings to roll out now. ,,,,good job Reiza .,

 

Thanks for the reply. I was able to get some good results for the Ultima GTR with 70 gain, 70 LFB and 35 FX. Lapping at Guapore the effect for lateral grip is tolerable and I'm getting FFB for curbs and hard braking without the engine effect being overly buzzy in the wheel's dead zone.
It was only a slight improvement for the F3 though. I tried reducing gain to 55 to lower the strength of the lateral grip effect, but it doesn't do much to make it more tolerable.

 

I was surprised by some settings using the NEW Default w/ lower LFB, while I found it bit better w/ higher LFB (now 70/40/15 from 60/35/15). Really subjective...just an observation.

Still waiting though for the details from Renato

 

Just wanted to share the settings I've been using with my Thrustmaster TX (same as T300). These are the best settings I've found for my taste in FFB, trying to achieve both a balanced and detailed feel across as many cars as possible. Overall I've been very happy with the improvement in the ffb with the last update and even just hotlapping has been giving me hours of enjoyment.

Pretty close to what I had after testing yesterday (70/40/15), though my CP gain is at default of 75. Only drove the SV8, SC, Ultima GTR so far, and I was surprised to have set LFB higher than I had with the OLD (only at 60-65/35/15).

 

Are you sure you are not clipping?

 

Not clipping in the cars I've tried, unless the telemetry hud FFB graph is inaccurate.

 

Anyone want to share his settings for csw v2?

 

Can you make the telemetry hud histogram show clipping? I've tried and can max out the 80-100% bar but not get anything on the >100% clipping bar.

 

Best I came up with after many laps in the F3 car yesterday:

90/80/50/40

This provides a relatively strong, informative feedback (IMO).

This is pretty similar to what I was using for the old FFB.

I wonder if the default values of 100/50/50/40 are already in the right neighbourhood for 'consumer level' wheels. If you think about it, Reiza would have used those values for a reason, and delivering the best experience to the largest number of users would surely be their aim. Therefore, if you have a non DD wheel, maybe it's worth not straying too far from the defaults. Just a thought!

 

I can, with the Stockcar i have no clipping with 78/40/50 and everything at 100 in CP. But when i use 80/40/50 i see very mild clipping. With most other cars like the Cats and F Trainer i have no clipping with 80/40/50. When i go over these settings it starts to clip.

 

What wheelbase do you have? Even without faffing about I would not have expected such an extreme difference in the FFB. My original settings were 50/50/50/10 and that provides a brilliant amount of resistance, kick and feel for me. Kept the same settings on the new just as a test no large amount of playing around with anything, didnt have time but as I said there difference was massive, looking at the charts from Reiza it doesnt look like the changes were that large but then I am not really into all the technical stuff just like to make quick changes and drive, I tried a few different cars quickly but the difference was the same in all of them, was quite surprised to be honest, I thought most ffb changes were usually pretty small and thought it was excellent beforehand anyway. I didnt want to make any changes as I was just testing what differences there were. I will have a bit more of a play at some stage but if anyone has any good DD1 settings with the new settings and wants to share I will give it a shot. I usually wait for fanatec to release their recommended settings and then have minor tweaks from there.

 

@F1Aussie it could be that your LFB of 50 is too high, there seems to be a sweet spot now.
The guy in the video is using 50/15/50 with his DD1 and seems very happy

The New default is a huge leap backwards! I definitely prefer Old default. I read somewhere that Reiza will remove the old default option at some point; I beg you, don't remove Old default!!!!!

Edit: I decided to give the New default another chance tonight and I've completely changed my mind. I guess my brain struggled to interpret the new outputs and therefore I thought "this is different and I don't like it". The majority couldn't be wrong, could they, so there had to be something wrong with me

Thanks for the heads up, I will check it out. I am just glad there are not as many ffb setup options as in project cars, that was just too much.

 

Will try it out when I am in next. Cheers

 

I thought the same thing at first but boy was I wrong. Delete your profile bro and start over. The new FFB is fantastic.
