Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

also which kerb option effects rumbling? kerbs_surface_scale or kerb_bump_scale? i see bump scale says tall kerbs, does that mean stuff like adeilade or any kerb like suzaka?

 

I’m not sure lower master road scale is going to help bump and details . It’s basically contradictory to raises in kerbs etc.
a lot of us run up to around 1.35 master road scale.
Also there maybe some fanatec settings your running that are numbing your sensations of bumps etc, as if I recall correctly ( probably not ) it’s often been said by other Fanatec belt users , that normal scales make the kerbs to strong.
Hopefully someone like @Alegunner68 or @Michael Enright could advise on the fanatec settings.

 

I think the kerbs_surface_scale is the harshness of the surface of the kerbs, such as saw tooth etc. and the kerb_bump_scale is the bump you get as you initially hit or come off a kerb. That's how it feels to me.

 

What On Wheel Fanatec settings do you use?

 

I use 100 ff, 100 sho, -2 dri, for 100, fei 60.
In game I use 65 gain, 10-30 lfb, 30-45 fx, and 20-50 damp

 

I put these custom files in Documents\Automobilista 2 Beta & rename ffb_custom_settings.txt the game crashes?

 

Oh, that sounds bad, Notifying @Domagoj Lovric, as I don't have beta access and not sure what might have changed?

 

I ran the beta last night with custom files without any problems, so I don't think it is a general issue...

 

Same here.

 

@torsteinvh @kkdrummer

Ok, nice, thx for that information.
Can you guys shed some light for the rest of us if this new content & update will be as nice as people seem to report thus far?

 

Maybe even nicer? and throw the M4 in the mix for even more greatness!

On the FFB front, I've been using the customised 4.4 file for Logitech wheels since the very beginning of beta 1.2 with no issues. I think it is just as good as the current release version of the game.

 

Hope for bad weather this weekend, you'll want to spend it inside

 

Hi All I have recently upgraded to Simucube 2 pro and looking for some settings to start of. Thanks.

 

Hi guys, I want to share my thoughts about custom settings.
I've testet a bunch of custom settings until now (as a friend does too!). Maybe we are just to stupid, but I'm pretty sure we tested it in the same way, like the todo file says. ;-)
We similar found out, that all of them feels to slack for us. We mostly like the custom settings, which I will share later. To me the only interesting feature in the rfactor 4.5 setting I just tested, is the fact, that your wheel will be forced to the opposite site when you run over curbs (but way to hard!).
I've tested on Virginia with a DD1:
For example, if I drive T10 (South Bend) with my settings, I can feel the right front wheel is losing traction and lifting while getting downhill at the outside of the turn. In custom settings I just have a slacky feeling.
Another example, on the straight from Oak Tree to Roller Coaster is a sink in the middle. With my settings I feel a (in my eyes) well dosed right/left hit in my wheel. With rfactor 4.5 custom it's way to hard.
My following setting are probably my basic settings, from which I want to make a more filigran calibriation for the DD1 over the next moth. It might be, that my FX settings are to strong for some others, but let me know, what you're thinking about it. What do you feel when you testing it with a DD1 (or DD2)?
Stay safe @all!
Cya on track

P.S. Sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker. You can keep mistakes if you find some ;-)

 

Look at page 1 of this thread

 

If you want to use the custom FFB file you need to put "TYP" on Custom and not on Standard. FX is way to high for a DD wheel. i read they suggest 20-25 for the Fanatec DD

 

As Lars Mars said already your settings are way off for a direct drive. I am not sure on the fatatec side of things as i am using a SC2 pro, perhaps a DD1/2 user can help, but on the ingame setting i can tell you that your gain should be in the area (depending on the car and personal preference) between 28-40, lfb between 5-15 (in my opinion), FX 25-32, Damping 5-15. The sliders for lfb and damping do different things with the custom file than with default.

 

@Lars Mars there is only suggested settings for CSW 2.5.
Anyone with simucube 2 pro @Karsten Hvidberg

 

Sure I did switch to Custom while testing the custom settings ;-)

 

Yeah that's the point! I tried it out with lower FX and FFB but that's what I meant when it feels to slacky. Maybe my perception is to abnormal ^^ With the recommened setting it feels like I don't need a DD and also could stay on my csw 2.5 ^^
