Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

Hey Daniel,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the files!

The kerb effect has scales:

kerb_bump_scale
and
kerb_surface_scale

Depending on which part you want to change you can lower those values.

Best,

Just on this note, would you have any idea if Reiza reduced these in the v1.3 update and up. I don't seem to get anywhere near the same thumps etc as you initially hit the kerb and when you drop off them. Just wondering.

 

No, I'm sorry, I have no idea. But if you feel they did, I'm sure there's a good chance it was the case.

 

The hotfix is awesome Karsten. I now have a great feeling for the limit and the steering wheel doesn't bounce on the curbs any more. I can even ride with fx 30 now. I think that's the new standard.

 

I’m testing the hot fix 5.01 version now and had to jump on the forum to say “ooooh, that’s nice.”

I took a P4 MRX around Nords in an online race yesterday and was getting the jolts mentioned before. This morning, doing the same track and car combo was just superb. Caterhams at Bathurst, Sigma P1 at Brands and the BMW GTE around Ibarra and it’s all superb.

My only change was to bump the gain up a fair whack from 65 to 75 - I must like a fair bit of gain I suppose.

Rich in detail and with the force I like whilst losing none of that incredible information, the oversteer/under steer forces are so informative, incredible. Can so few changes really make that much difference?

 

What’s your settings for the other sliders? Just got my CSL DD .

Great work to everyone involved in this project.

 

Gain 75
LFB 15
FX 30
Damper 5
Menu strength 20

Base setup as suggested by Fanatec

 

@Karsten Hvidberg Great fix. I didn't encountered jolts so far. Tested bmw Evo GT3 and feels amazing!!!

 

@Domagoj Lovric has just confirmed this is the mesh, as @Kuku Maddog suspected some time ago.
I will look at how much softer the bumps on Monza10k need to be to work ok. @Domagoj Lovric has suggested how we can deal with it in the near future.

Best,

Wow Karsten it would be a great "gift" to be able to eliminate this strange anomaly or this excessive bump which I remember feels especially very strong with Formula cars!

Thanks to all of you and to Reiza!!!

 

I have now also tried the 5.1 file with the Procar M1 on Oultonpark. It seems a bit too muffled to me. I do not know how to describe it but with the Default + you can really feel how the car twists and the load change is also comes much more directly to the steering wheel. With the Custom 5.1 file I have more trouble to feel the position of the springs of the car. Is it possibly due to my DD1 settings?

Sorry for the bad English it is an online translation

 

In the in-game menu it seems you have selected "Default", not "Custom". Not sure if that is just an accident when creating the image?

 

Dunno but using a custom FFB you need to setup CUSTOM in game menu (not DEFAULT)

EDIT: Late to the party

 

I took the screenshot a few days ago. But the same settings I also use with Default+ and the Custom File.

 

Ok,

As first thing I would say that to me the M1 unf. is one of the cars that feels the farthest from how I think it would feel irl, regardless of FFB used. It is sliding a lot and the suspension seems very un-sporty.

But reg. your settings, for the custom file you can try something like:

* In fanatec settings: Decrease friction and damping to 0.
* Set in-game damping to maybe 25% at first.
* Set in-game LFB to maybe 10-12% or so. LFB is not more "correct" at 0 or 20, it is whatever feels best to you.
* Lower the in-game gain slightly. Maybe down to 40 or 45%.

Best guesses as I don't have your base, but I think it would help. Mostly the LFB part, so try that up & down.

As said I think the car is a bad case right now, I'm afraid. I'm really looking forward to that one being tuned in the physics department.

Sorry ich bin neu hier ich fahre einen dd1 und motion. Diese 5.o1-Datei ist wow wow wow. Unglaublich diese ffb, herzlichen Glückwunsch an alle, Karsten etc.

Habe nur die Notch-Bump-Skala wegen zu hohem Beat etwas reduziert. Nur Monza 10k ist noch nicht ganz perfekt. Die andere ffb ist fast perfekt
