    What values you reduce them to? To test.

    @NuScorpii, I couldn't find where you mentioned this last, but which again are affected by the micro and macro (macro for bumps, micro for the grainy-feel/vibration on road, this correct)? 'detail' is bit too grainy on straights.

    Interesting graphs, but what exactly are they showing and how do you measure it? What's the tool you are using?

    Yes that is correct. In the Detailed version I have also reduced output smoothing so increasing (output_smoothing 0.0) to somewhere between 0.0 and 0.2 may help too.

    Detailed version:
    (micro_details 0.6)
    (macro_details 0.4)

    It was just my first try and it felt better. But i'll also test NuScorpiis hint with the "output_smoothing". Besides the grainyness i liked the detailed version.

    As I know this tool changes nothing, it is simply a calculation tool.
    You import the test result from the tool WheelCheck there. And WheelCheck is a tool which analyses your wheel.

    It is all described here:
    Baseline Wheel FFB Values - Google Sheet & FCM. Universal
    Look at the section "FCM usage"

    EDIT:
    FCM can also do a Force test, but it is still an analyzing tool, it does not change settings in the driver or the wheel itself.

    The latest SC1 firmware (v1.0.22) now uses the same effect-scaling as SC2 does.

    I test a bit, but our arm strenght isnt constant like a ruler presses on a scale. A little bit is
    compensated and higher forces are more liniar, but low forces no more noticable, deadzone increased from 16% to 30%.
    With liniar test and my hands, its little bit better as nonliniar fbb, Deadzone increased from 0% to 20%, higher forces will be a bit compressed.
    But at the end, its a litte improvement i think, not as much as the tool conveys, but a improvement.

    Values are good for own curve adjust like crazy-lut:D:D

    I'm testing out @NuScorpii v2.5 smooth. Took a while to get it running because the drivers on my G920 crapped out and took a few reboots and re-installs of the G-Hub software to get it back again. Then my kids came in and took over the PC. Gah.

    Anyway, I'm toggling between default on 85/75/95 and v2.5 smooth on 75/65/95 at the moment. I like how the custom fills in some of the centre feedback and smooths out some of the G920 notchiness, on the other hand it feels like a bit more work to drive the car. More testing required I think.

    This is the feature that brought me the most for my Custom FFB. I use a G27 and wonder what a custom.ini completely designed for this steering wheel would look like. I think the focus of the settings is on Fanatec and DD- steering wheels, not necessarily Logitech steering wheels.

    I’m enjoying the @NuScorpii detailed at 80/30/60 on my G920. Thanks!

    Slightly modified Silver Raw 5.0 using some alternative code from Karsten.
    Got it feeling quite nice on my wheel, but still WIP.

    @NuScorpii Which version of 2.5 are you currently using (e.g. smooth, detailed, minimal)? Just curious.

    I regularly tried some of the custom files in the past months, but never find something for me. I always did get back to the default settings.
    But after reading this post i did try the new 2.5 smooth setting and you are correct, this is what i was looking for.
    @NuScorpii big thanks for your work, i really like the 2.5 Smooth file.

    I tried the "Detailed" and didn't like it but then on my 3rd warm-up lap I noticed I had just gone 1.4 sec faster at Brands Hatch than I had ever gone before!
    I loved the "Smooth" but as yet, have not been able to go as fast as I can with "Detailed". I am learning so much about FFB trying all these.
