Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

I second @bandqit ,
Either that or @Peter Stefani 's file might suit your needs.
They are not based off the very latest developments, but are very recent & adjusted for your wheel base.
Be advised to spend your time to get it adjusted right. The custom file allows for a very large range of adjustments, more so than Default, since LFB works differently and so does Damping slider.
Prob. best to start by the settings suggested for the file you pick.
I am sure your opinion might help the guys adjust a future file slightly more towards your needs or they might be able to help you in case of issues, so please do post your findings and issues.

This is great stuff, thanks. I will give it a try and will let you guys know how it goes.

 

hello Karsten, I tested Version 3.4 with my TS PC Racer.
It's really very very good, I'm missing a bit of scrubbing, but I could increase in the file.

BUT I have a big problem as soon as it starts to rain. At the start of the rain everything is fine and after a few seconds the steering wheel goes crazy, it pulls violently to the right and to the left.
Any idea to counter this?

 

You can also find some more recent files in this .zip file.
They are all EasterFuktor based. They are not their latest best solutions however. I remain to do some posting for that, so bear that in mind.

 

Oh.. Hmm, I did add some code for when it's wet, but never tested it...
I just modified the experimental 3.5 and set that to 0.0, you can try this.

 

I've just found about this, and after one race with the 2021 Stock Cars I can only say.... wow...
You guys have transformed AMS 2 for me... Finally I feel confident driving the car on the edge, rotating it on throttle out of corner and trailbraking it...
This last race on Santa Cruz du sol was just perfect...

Huge thanks to everyone contributing to this

 

Sorry but same problem with V 3.5. I then retested version 3.3 in the rain, and I have the same problem.I had not tested the rain before.My tests were on historic Kyalami, with Porsche Cup, F1 V12 and Lotus 79.

I would like to know if anyone else has this problem.

 

Ok, thx, I will need to try myself & fix whatever it might be.

 

Weird,
just did a full on rain session with no issues.
What is your exact setup?
Both car, track as well as weather conditions?

 

I have a TSPC Racer
55- 39 45 15
Kyalami Historique, Porsche Cup.

Ok, I did more testing:

If I choose a race with rain all the way through, I have no problem with the FFB.

If I choose a weather forecast with 2 locations, rain first, sun then, weather X40, it goes from rain to good weather several times and I have no problem with the FFB.

With the same parameters, weather forecast X40, but starting with the sun and then the rain, there it does not work. At the start of the rain it's good, but after a few seconds the steering wheel does anything, with jerks from left to right.

 

Can you check if this is also the case when driving Default ffb?

 

It's good witj the défault FFB.

 

I've reproduced it now.
It seems we should avoid running that combination, my guess is that somehow some custom script variables get overwritten by garbage data by the madness engine under these conditions for some reason.

 

Ok thank you !

 

Noted this today on some MP servers where it started to rain during the race. Got puzzled thinking what was going wrong, but didn't thought it was related to the custom ffb file. If this is really the case, unfortunately I'll have to stop using these.
What version do you recommend where there is no "code for wet conditions"?

 

I will spend some time and fix this by tomorrow.

 

@Jean-Yves Mercy @easy81 @JoKeR

Here is fix for wet track. There was a bug in the file...
Experimental rFuktor 3.5 attached.
It seems to create some other added noise in the ffb when the track is wet like this, not sure what is causing that, will fix another time.

 

lol @Michael Enright for disagreeing with my post.
Did you come over to my house and try out my rig?
Would explain why my cat was so upset this evening lol

 

If I did, I didn't mean to. Have never disagreed with a post yet. I will look for your post and remove it. Sorry.
Edit : Found it. Don't have any idea how it got there. I will have to be more careful with my fingers in the future.

 

Karsten, for me it's good, great job !!
Except as you pointed out a little noise in the scenario where we start with dryness and then rain, but it's bearable until you find the bug.
Good night.
