    Thanks @Kuku Maddog for your efforts.
    I tried your Delta X V2.1 with relaxos on my T300 with your suggested settings in the file.txt and in the T300 panel.
    Unfortunately, it's like driving on a cloud.
    I tried at Spielberg with P1 and F-Classic gen 3.
    There were no fine details of the asphalt.
    The standard AMS FFB is much better.

    Are you sure you were actually using his file? If you navigate to the telemetry HUD, was it showing the proper description "rFuktor 4.6 etc."? It if was showing "undefined" or some such, you were using the "default custom FFB" which is some weird template file that produces a bland and uninformative feeling.

    Yep. The custom FFB is loaded.

    I tried also the old FFB from NuScorpii that I currently use. And the fine details are also in that setting, like the default one.

    You don’t have to use my settings. They are just a guide. Also you are able to run the so called high end version of the tune, it’s less smooth.
    also since the last TM firmware update a few weeks ago I’ve had to crank up strength of settings a bit as my wheel felt a bit mushy.
    Also history tells me that not all t300s are created equally,
    For example, default feels like driving on flat spots for me. Just too rattling and pendulum swaying.
    Most also prefer V2 .
    2.1 was a bit of a experiment.
    V3 was going to be much tighter feeling , but can’t use now with above issues.

    Thanks, Kuku.
    Yes, naturally I tried different settings. And I tried also other "rFuktor" published in a huge zip by @Karsten Hvidberg (I don't know what rFuktor means. I work a lot and usually I don't have time to spent to dive in these universes)... saying... I tried other rFuktor and the "cloud feeling" was the same.
    I'll try the V2.
    Thanks! :)

    Well everyones tunes based of the same core formula, so if they all feel the same , then fundamentally they just aren’t suitable for your taste or particular wheel unfortunately, but anyone who is happy with default should just stay with that .

    What are your setting in windows for your wheel?

    Yes, also the V2 (for me, obviously) don't change.
    I swap in a test day in Spielberg with P1 car from V2 to AMS 2 Default, and the Default has much details in every single bump.
    "Your" bumps are more uniform and soft. The long descent after the turn one in Spielberg is like skiing, with barely graining details.
    Probably it's me or my wheel.
    Thanks again for your time.

    But i tried also 85% and 99%, accordingly with the decreasing of the gain and effects in AMS2 panel.

    Strange, you could try using this file, I think I only tweaked a few things in it regarding the suspension. Anyway the road feel differs quite a bit from car to car, to some extent that in some cars the road textures are barely there.

    We probably shouldn’t get carried away trying to convert.
    Some just like thing different and a little rough.

    the more pressing issue is the way it’s reacting to the monza banking.

    I might still post V3 beta sometime in next day or so, just to give a sense of where it was headed, but unfortunately it only works on 4.6 , so don’t really want to put something out there that potentially can do harm to your wrist or wheel.

    Indeed I tried the F Classic for the specific purpose to test the settings on a "hard car"
    Thanks, I'll try it next weekend. :(

    Is there any way to get the default settings as a custom to tweak?

    Tried! :)
    But no. The feeling is the same.
    Now I try the High End one.

    EDIT: nope, neither High End.

    Delete ffb_custom_setting.txt in Documents/Automobilista 2, restart the game and the original should be restored.

    Do you have the latest firmware installed?

    You can open the custom ffb file and tweak this values :
    # Road features settings
    #

    (texture_scale 0.6)
    (micro_bumps_scale 0.2)
    (kerbs_surface_scale 2.7)3.4
    (kerb_bump_scale 2.7) #How big the tall curb bumps are.
    (large_track_bump_scale 0.05) #how much bumps on the track are felt.
    (large_offroad_bump_scale 0.05) #how much bumps off the track are felt.

    I just installed the "Silver Raw - muscleFuktor - Momentum Rack 6.2 - Karsten with Shadak & Panos - High end file" , and even though the ffb seems to be great, it doesnt have any strenght to it...
    Ive cranked the gain up to 100 and in to 150 in the set up menu and it still feels really weak.

    It doesnt seem to change in strength either when I change the gain values.
    Is there something I could be doing wrong?
