    It sounds really weird.
    I have the same wheel base & I don't get the vibrations, what are your in-game and TrueDrive settings?
    It could be you need to delete the "Documents/Automobilista 2" folder & set up your config again too. This is required on occasion between releases & the custom FFB will act really weird sometimes if that's the case.

    Ok, those should not cause any problems.
    It must be something else.
    I would like to add that using the custom file I think those high friction/damper & inertia will remove quite a lot of the feeling.
    I would lower them all. Actually putting damper & inertia to 0. Then friction at 5%, maybe.

    But it sounds like the issue might be that you need to delete the "Documents\Automobilista 2" folder, I'm afraid.
    Then add the custom file back in again & restart the game.

    They're actually identical for the last cpl versions.

    sorry after i wrote this i thought don't be daft ffb is not to blame. with the dd2 there has been an issue where when cornering the car would just overrotate without you really feeling anything - so was very hard to counter. this had been fixed but the recent updates seemed to bring it back and was curious if it could be ffb related. anyway i tinkered a little and reinstalled the controller files and we seem to be back on track . sorry to have bothered you

    still the same .... I deleted the driver folder 2, used your last file .... but the steering wheel always vibrates when the car is stopped. To make it move I have to lower the force on TRUE DRIVE to 40%.
    I have the feeling that it is the effect of the engine that makes it vibrate

    Is there much difference between .......9.6 and ........9.7? I have gone back to 9.6 as i could not get the same feeling of all the road textures and bumps etc. with 9.7. Even with big changes in the file. Maybe I need to delete the AMS 2 documents folder and start again. Please keep up the good work, as, for me, the FFB with these custom files are still better than Default.

    Hey Michael,

    Thanks, yes, I agree the default ffb has taken a temporary step backwards.

    I did exactly tone down how much the details and bumps are boosted by the Lfb.
    I can add a variable to the top tomorrow so you can more easily adjust it.

    Best,

    -K

    Hi inthebagbud,

    It is a value to adjust travel distance for the steering wheel to center. You could say it's how much resistance is in the rack/powersteering. The lower the more resistance, so longer travel distance.
    It makes for a very different ki d of feel to change it by more than 0.15 or 0.2, as I remember.
    I am away, but if I remember correct it should be in the range ]0;1[

    Yes, it's the idea that it should vibrate, you can set the values "engine_scale_at_still" and "engine_scale_at_sæeed" to both be 0.0 and it should stop.

    Hi @Karsten Hvidberg. Thanks for your quick reply. Just thought, while on the subject of what changes what, could you give me a brief description of what these line actually do?
    (acc_boost_feel 0.0)
    (dec_boost_feel 0.05)
    (feel 1.0)
    Thanks, and keep up the great work.

    I think something has been changed by Reiza, so LFB at 0 is prohibited to use for now again.
    Maybe it becomes less lfb at 1%.

    Any recommendations as to which Silver Raw file is considered best for the csw 2.5 lately?
    I'm using one from a couple of months back and it looks like Karsten has been busy as there's a few new ones here. Does damping make a difference, I can't really tell.

    Hi Alegunner!

    Damping does not make a difference, no.
    But I can add dampening in, if it's deemed a good thing to have.
    I was thinking make it control friction instead, maybe...
    Any suggestions are welcome.
