    OMG Karsten, that file was great, at least, for my modest G29 at least a good feeling without that center deadzone or a terrible notch. I use gain 80 lfb 70 fx30 and the feeling was superb, feels linear, not to grainy, not crazy jumps in extreme angles. Keep the good job and thanks.

    Guys, do yours custom force-feedback settings keep working on multiplayer? Mine is feeling completely different, like my ffb_custom_settings.txt is ignored online.

    If you have a wheel you don't need to touch that option, it's for controllers only.

    I like that file realy, but now i had the idea: "What happen, when i try to use it in pCARS2?"
    Its the same engine, or not?
    I just load it, and want test it...

    I'm quite sure it doesn't work. At least not as expected.

    It won't work. There is no "rack" in PC2. You have to build up the rack force yourself from the separate X, Y, & Z forces and moments acting on the wheels.

    Okay, is that possible, to generate it for pCARS 2 special? Because, it's a good Simulator but with extreme terrible FFB.

    I've already tried doing something similar for PC2 but the information from the forces/moments is so bad that there isn't much you can do.

    The best you can get for PCARS2 are the custom FFB files from Christiaan van Beilen, Hugo Vai or the well-known Jack Spade, i guess.
    But that's all offtopic.:rolleyes:

    Back to AMS2 now.:)

    Thank you very much, that are on a good way, but no AMS2 ;-)

    This may be a nub question, but I am interested in knowing what "scale" factor(s) to adjust for tire grip limit indications while cornering.

    I'm sure some of the physics combine for the effect, but I like to isolate and test them so that when I scale back the other stuff like kerbs and road rumble it doesn't get lost.

    Some of you guys are just so precise about what each factor feels like and fine tuning and to a degree I can for certain things, but I'd like to reach that point as well.

    Set "scrub_scale" to 0.0, that will help a lot & leave just some in.

    If you want to remove it more, then I think also remove this line helps:

    (rack_details (blend (min 1.0 (/ vel_mag 10.0)) rack_details (* (- reiza_rack (smooth reiza_rack 0.002)) details_scale)))

    Cheers

    This is the "scrub_scale" that adds additional force to the default.

    Also, if the feel is too "rough" for some size of road features, you can lower the LFB, but stay at where it overall feels good on the steering still.
    If that is not enough, you can change these down:

    (details_lfb_blend 0.7)
    (bumps_lfb_blend 0.5)
    (large_lfb_blend 0.5)

    And vice versa.

    Cheers

    @Karsten Hvidberg, I think there might be a bug with the car_engine_noise, it's very high even at 0.1 and it's pretty much constant or way more noticeable at low speed than in any other file.

    Hey Karsten,
    So I lowered the scrub to 0.1 but I'm about to try 0.05 so I can increase all the forces that fx covers in a more balanced way for my liking. If that makes any sense!?
    The engine noise thing is when sitting in the pits is fine, but when driving down the pit lane it's very coarse, then when turning slowly like first gear it comes back very coarse, then if you stop the car the engine noise is ok again. It seems to be adding road friction a lot more in those situations creating a third feeling of engine noise, kinda.

    The file in general works really good with every car, I think the scrub is that problem with Reiza recently adding something but not quite the full pack yet so the scrub in the file come across stronger, gonna try 0.05.

    Yes mate, I rarely play multiplayer but I've been using these files since they first came out and never had any issue online or anywhere really.
