    Thanks. Changed them a little and all seems better now. Even tried the V8, and all the rubber bandy type feel I had before has gone. Heaps better to drive. You guys have done an amazing job getting the FFB to where it is now.

    There's also "strengthen_low" which is the "tighten" of this file. You can set it higher at 0.5 to 0.75 depending on your needs.

    I seem to be finding a huge difference in strength of FFB between cars with the latest 6.6.5 file. FFB itself is great but, just there is just so much variance. Hopefully it will get better as this version is refined.

    Latest Silver Raw file and my T300 don't get along very well either. The wheel weight out of the box is super heavy even with a Gain of 70 in the Roco.

    Referring to the changelog of the latest beta v1.0.2.3 there are a few FFB changes/improvements in the default Reiza FFB. I wonder if this will have some influence on the Custom FFB files.

    Just advised F.Santos, raced the F-V10 Gen1 (at Spielberg) and FTrainer Adv, and rattling was so,so strong, w/ lower gain/lfb/fx settings from previous F.Santos' file. Though like emulating the stiff cars on the track bouncing. :) Think I had to lower FX to only 10 (normally, settings were at 65/45/50), just sharing my initial,brief observation.

    Wow, on the just posted file?
    If so I will remove.

    Oh no, if you just posted a newer file. Most likely the previous one (ie. says v6.6.5.1 in header). @F.Santos is already aware, and since you both are working together closely, perhaps he can give you better feedback. Thanks.

    Seems to me you toned it down a good bit. With the previous file I used a 65/20/50 and now with a 75/20/50 I still don't have the details from the previous file.

    Cool thanks man! It will probably be tomorrow before I can give it a go again.

    I've got a question for you guys, since I know y'all have a good feel for the FFB. I've been working on creating a custom file specifically for the ROCCO 001 for a friend. Do any of you struggle to feel the actual tire grip with this particular car? I can feel the weight transfer of the car for sure, but it's almost like the friction/adhesion aspect of the output is missing/lacking to me, regardless of the file I use (or Default profile). I just cannot seem to ever feel fully connected to the road surface in this car due to this and the end result is that I cannot maintain consistent lap-times.

    I drive the Roco a lot, it is one of my favorite cars. Taking T1 at Cascavel without touching the brake pedal has become one of my favorite things. While doing that, I have a great feeling keeping that Roco in a little power slide in 5th gear.

    No worries, that file is very experimental & might be completely out of whack for you :) It is less bumpy at least. Good for some, bad for others, I am very sure.

    Just tried the latest 6.6.5.7 It is just waayyy too strong with everything. Even with LFB and FX on 0 it still shakes the **** out of my wheel (and arms :)). Went back to Default. Was quite surprised. It was not too bad in the latest Beta. Prob the opposite of yours. Default needs more, yours needs a whole lot less. Will keep any eye out for new files. Thanks guys.

    Strange... I tested 6.6.5.7 on my DD1 yesterday, and if anything I felt it was a bit weak overall. Gain/LFB/FX 20/5/35, FFB on my DD1 50%.

    Just deleted Automobilista 2 folder completely, and started again. Now I must agree with you, that it is a bit light. Except for the Scrub, which for me is excessive. The saw tooth kerbs are very light, and I have changed a few settings but can't get the feeling of those kerbs that I get from the default profile. Will continue to play.

    Just tried 6.6.5.9.2 This is a step in the right direction for me. The kerbs to me are still on the weak side. What setting can I change to make those saw tooth type kerbs a bit more pronounced? Thanks guys.

    Is the version 6.6.5.9.2 more of a test release? I tested 6.6.5.7 but went back to 6.6.5
