    I run spring and damper at 0, I’ve done a few back to back comparisons and think is the best option. Occasionally I feel spring at say 20% is ok but it could be placebo.

    I think so yes indeed yes ... it is recommended from AMS2 and for DDs to reset the damper, the inertia and the friction in the steering wheel driver panel (so I think it applies to you too) and use that of AMS2 ... ;)
    In the case of the of the rFuctor the damping is set inside the file (because the damping slider in the game, using the custom file, is now the power steering) .... the spring is not used in the game but only in its menus if different from 0 .... I set it at 20% fot return the steering wheel to the center when I exit a race and go back to the game menu ;)

    Edit: Sorry I had not seen that kuku had already answered you

    Only for test value of new tighten in LowEnd Whells - @Peter Stefani
    3.9 Alpha pre @Karsten Hvidberg version

    Try and modify tighten if necessary at your pleasure .... read previous comments ;)

    The spring setting we are referring too is separate from return to center for TM. That has its own options, which is recommended to be set per game.

    3.9 Alpha2 pre @Karsten Hvidberg version
    Tuned by Stakanov for LowEnd Whells and Logitech (G920/G29/G27/G25)
    - Date 01/05/2021 -
    In game controller setting select "Custom" with this starting value:
    GAIN 80* - LFB 68 - FX 70 - DP 68.

    *Then, in the car setting, use +/- % of Gain for car to taste!!

    In this version i can raise the value in game, the sensation is very smoth, the effect is beatifull, for me it's perfect without modify the NEW tighten for DDs (AND I DON'T TRY TO RAISE THEN I ATTEND CONFIRM FROM PETER), i adopt @Shadak proposing to adjust "bump_feel_follow_weight" to 0.3 (right and i felt is not necessary disable suspension which for 3.7), the damping to 1.0, the center_full i can raise from 0.8 to 0.9 without disturb and relax to 0.2, the micro_bump don't disturb to original 0.6 ... KART IS OK NO PROBLEM ... EXCELLENT SENSATION, FULL, SMOTH ... I'M HAPPY AND IT CAN ONLY IMPROVE!!!

    GOOD NIGHT TO ALL ... THANKS

    This file works great for my CSL Elite. I intend to make a few minor changes (kerbs are too strong for example), and I found I needed to reduce LFB. I haven't had time to try other variants, but just wanted to pop in to say I like this file a lot -braking feel is particularly good.

    Interesting - I'm on a CSL Elite too and this latest file felt superb with the immediate exception of the kerb feel. If you have a fiddle I'd be interested to know what you feel works. I lowered my LFB a tad too, now at 25.

    Any advice from anyone on what to change as a good starting point? E.g. Kerbs bump scale or kerbs surface scale?

    I made these changes:

    (kerbs_surface_scale 1.3)
    (kerb_bump_scale 2.0)

    If you open the file with a text editor like Wordpad, then find those lines (ctrl+f) you can adjust them as you like. They are annotated so you can see what they do. Annotations have a # in front of them. Remember to save the file & relaunch the game. HTH.

    EDIT: I will probably do some more tinkering with those values^. I also changed this, but I may change them again:

    (master_rack 0.8) #Rack and road scale.

    Have a look around the file. The annotations by Karsten are really explanatory.

    Hi Magnus, just in case (pardon if you already know this), avoid using Wordpad to edit config files, because it can introduce weird characters in the file when saving if you're not careful. Use Notepad or similar (clean text editors).

    I didn’t know that, so thanks for the info. I’m hoping to get a look at it tonight but as I won’t be able to get in game until Tuesday I may leave it until then before I make any actual changes, just so I can check each one.

    Hi, I use the Silver Raw - rFuktor 3.9 Alpha - Momentum Rack 6.1 with the PeterS_G920 tweaks from the previous version, this for me is on par or even better than rf2 now!
    You can find the custom ffb file and my setting attached to this post

    Hey man. Thanks for doing this. Your setup feels great! I am really enjoying but I think I've found a bug? Any Porsche cars will get the steering wheel to turn all the way to the right very quickly then it locks there. I've tried the gt3, gt4, gt1 and the cup. As soon as I try to leave the pits this happens. I've tried a bunch of other cars and no issues there. Something to do with the porsches it seems. Thanks.

    Got to say, tried these in conjunction with the file and it was revelatory - feels brilliant. Thanks to all who contribute to this effort.

    It shouldn't happen .... everything is ok here .... the changes are only on the values but the file and the line are practically as a rFuktor 3.8 ... no changes that modify the steering ratio or the like ... have you tried to restore the default setting of the cars??? If that's not enough, try increasing the stering ratio in the setting car ... or if not fix recalibrate the steering wheel???
    Or do you use a different steering wheel sensitivity??? And finally you tried to delete the documents folder ... sometimes certain oddities happen after an update and maybe it happens to you after 1.1.4.5??
    Let me know ... however this evening I try again to test ;)
