    Thanks for the reply. And what does the Power_Steering_Angle do?

    I can only presume it’s a set ratio of steering assistance .
    But I haven’t touched it as the steering weight always feel just right.
    Later versions added extra power steering ratios for downforce compression and such, but I found they got too light in certain situations.
    I guess the only way to see it’s effect is to adjust it up and down and see how the steering changes.

    Yes, this is a calculated valve. I would not change

    Leaving aside the other elements concerning the power steering (weight, df, speed ...) this item represents how much force the driver must apply to the steering wheel to reach the desired cornering/steering angle ... therefore the force to reach the desired angle ... ... more or less light for the same target angle

    You can try my settings, but you should have taken into account that I'm using, not very popular and probably for some good reason, v5.0.5.
    Code:
    Overall Strenght: 85 %
    Constant: 100 %
    Periodic: 100 %
    Spring: 0 %
    Damper: 0 %
    Code:
    GAIN: 100
    LFB: 50
    FX: 40
    DAMPING: 10

    Thank you Stakanov
    I like it better to reduce the velocity_res_scale to 0.3
    Have a nice day Daniel

    Less soft? Do you mean centering? But that is less realistic. If you like it change centering to 0.59
    Bye Daniel

    I like to run 5.0.1 with a set centre full .

    so instead of the blended code for center full,
    i use ( center_full 1.0)
    you can add it in and just disable the original with a # in front of that line for easy swapping between for testing.
    also mean using lfb slider will have less effects on the centre.

    So I have now got the FB for me at a nice spot where I dont get the horrid ABS jerking and the massive contact spikes plus the cars I tested with have been great fun to drive and even get some power slides going on! Here are my settings for my DD1 with the R330 wheel.

    Hi Doug,
    I'm a T300 user and when I started AMS2 mid last year I used the Kuku-T300-TX\ffb_custom_settings.txt in the Silver Raw rFuktor 4.6 files. These are still available above. I liked it a lot. Then started trying other files including the 5.X.X files being posted which were OK. But then went back to 4.6 and it still felt best to me. Other settings as per here https://www.briankoponen.com/automobilista-2-thrustmaster-tx-t300-settings/ May have tweaked in game settings a bit.
    My 2 cents worth.

    Anyone else finding formula cars have wicked oscillation now with rfuktor files ? Even with both hands on the wheel its very violent at times and forget taking 1 hand off the wheel - its not just the new cars either - also tried it with the previous F USA and on different tracks where before it was fine.

    Little heads up on that.

    With 1.3.3.0, FFB refresh should be back to full rate.

    Same for me. Especially when braking. Tried the base 5.0.3 and 5.0.5 version.

    with or without is the same result for me.

    @Karsten Hvidberg

    I don't really know, what this is supposed to do (low IQ in FFB) but recommendation from Dom:

    (dt ( / 1 300)) at file begining

    or alternative
    (dt 0.0033333333333333)

    Thank you for posting this @CrimsonEminence, just had it confirmed by Dom to make sure and you are 100% correct.
    After the last patch this is required for all the files.

    Best,

    in regards to the oscillation, i’ve always felt it was something to do with the df compression and also a combination of other factors.
    perhaps the wanted steering angle.
    as reducing the strength down from 2.5 does slightly reduce the strength of oscillation.

    Yes, oscillations are extreme with these files. Even with high Damping and Friction applied at the servo. Seems to be much worse with HDF cars.
