Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

Might not be close or related, but coming from using 'Deliverance', from your experience between using the previous ffb_custom_settings and this, how are the current values for Gain/LFB affected (ie. higher/lower LFB)? Or totally different? Will try this tom. Thanks!

 

First a big big thank you to you guys working on these custom ffb settings.
I really liked Karsten's last iteration and like your most recent one even more @NuScorpii. The only problem with both for me is the driving on stones feeling. Turning down FX helps decrease it but it also decreases everything else which I don't want. But overall I don't think I've ever had such confidence in driving and really pushing race cars. The feel is truly fantastic. If I had to make a constructive criticism then it would be a little too much noise in the feel at the wheel and a bit stronger the centering forces (which is very much a subjective need rather than complaint)
I'm using Gain:45; FX:40; LFB:10; Spring:0; and a standard profile for AMS 2 provided by SimExperience thru the SimCommander software.

 

Have you tried reducing the micro and macro details?
I like this Gunboat file a lot, the road feel is great as it is, cornering at speed loads up a bit too much so reducing gyro helped I think.
Was happy to see the load under braking included, but not feeling anything sadly, even with brake load at 1.
Very impressed overall though.

 

NuScorpii, I like your file very much, but like Neal I will try to lower the noise effect without losing the feeling of suspension and bumps in the road.
There is one problem though: if I lower the LFB completely to zero, the steering wheel pulls hard to the right, and that can even be dangerous for the DD steering wheels, I don't know, I only have a CSW.

 

@neal As @Alegunner68 says try lowering the micro and macro details e.g.:

(micro_details 0.2)
(macro_details 0.2)

Also the engine scale is a bit high for some so try this too:

(engine_scale_slow 0.5)
(engine_scale_fast 0.01)

 

Thanks! It still uses one of the core concepts that Karsten introduced - splitting up the rack force and applying transformations individually - but the transformation for the main rack force is completely new.

 

Most of the load under braking actually comes from the weight transfer increasing the front wheel load so the braking load part is actually only a small part of that. I'll think of ways to increase the feeling further though...

 

Reiza have acknowledged a bug with the FFB currently that can cause hard right issues. It happens for the default too. There is also a bug with the LFB that if it is set to 0 will filter out low forces.

 

Thanks for all you guys have done.
Has anyone thought about making a stand alone program/mod to allow people to easily edit their own custom file, or make changes to what has already been done?

Muto Obrigado você e todos aqui que estão trabalhando e testando ajustes!
Fiz o Download do ffb_custon, e mais tarde quero testar, antes eu alterei um parâmetro que acho muito importante para os Logitech, acredito que os ajustes devem partir sempre do principio de eliminar o dead zone FFB, isso afeta o ajuste para quem quer refinar o FFB.

min_force = 0.14

Obrigado a todos!

 

@Karsten Hvidberg , @NuScorpii it seems like Reiza changed the calibration of the scrub related parameters no? I was trying to use "more equals" in this 9.6 and the wheel almost vibrated out of my hands under breaking!

 

Not sure, does appear that the effects are slightly stronger...

 

Quick update for Gunboat Diplomat - Removed - see here for latest update

 

.

 

There was an incredibly harsh rubber feel around corners with the new file, but with yours adjusting down on scrub and others I got it to a good level, LFB I think between 30-40.

Sitting in the pits with the engine on if I turn the wheel it oscillates a lot like, it bounces from side to side, If I reduce LFB it improves, but like close LFB01 you still have it. Plus I don't wanna lose the small details. Have you experienced that?

The rolling noise like driving down the straights is almost not there, with Karstens file before I was able to get it back to some degree by raising FX, that doesn't seem to work in this file, do you have a separate parameter for that? I didn't find it in your summary. Thanks

 

I've noticed the wheel oscillation at standstill too, but don't want to change anything for fear of losing the good driving feel.

 

They disabled the light damping to fix the hard right issue in the 0.9.6 release which I think will lead to a lot of these issues. I'll add some custom damping tomorrow to see if it fixes it.

 

I just posted this in the latest Beta thread , i hope you can help me !


"Im really confused by the new FFB
What am i supposed to be feeling here

As i approach these two red areas the FFB is smoothish but as i get to the red parts the FFB becomes rough and noisy ! What is this effect supposed to simulate ? It happens all around the track but this is just a spot i can show and question . How can i remove this noise that doesnt seem consistent like the track surface , i could understand it better if i was off line and driving over marbles but this feeling happens on the racing line Please allow me to remove this feeling ?"

 

I just tried both the new custom FFB's from the last page and they both seem broken ! Gunboat Diplomat made the wheel feel like the FFB was reversed , pulled away from center on both sides , i deleted it straight away and tried Deliverance and that felt so weak that i could only feel road noise very slight and if i turned a corner the wheel just stayed pointing in that direction with no centering effect at all !
