Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

Hi Karsten can you give some direction where we should put this in the custom file please?

 

Just put it near the start. Here's where I put it:

(madness_bug30 1.0)

(dt ( / 1 300))

 

Confirmed on my side this resolved the issue - thanks all !

 

Hi Karsten

hope you are well.

I haven’t had a chance to try today’s update yet, but this (dt line that needs to be added, would this be something that could or should replace existing distance_time_multi in the file going forward ?

 

Thank you @MickT

 

V

 

Ja

 

So with this new line:

(dt ( / 1 300))

Do we still need to set the -ffb 600 launch parameter?

Thanks!

 

Yes, with (dt(/1 300))
No, parameters -ffb 600 are no longers necessary

 

Hello guys! Has anyone got a good custom FFB file for the VRS Direct Force Pro?

For some reason if I load the standard custom ffb file we all can download on the first page, the ffb is just unbelievably high and undrivable :/

 

Download the one just posted in post #2, it contains the fix.
Otherwise download the one @Danielkart just posted above.

 

Guys,

Maybe it's time to add a single .zip file containing all the latest versions that people prefer for their exact wheel base and the the dt fix?
I am very happy to post in post #2 if we can assemble a small collection.

Best,

-K

 

Hey Karsten
With (dt ( /1 300)) I had no more ffb. I had to type (dt (0.00333333333333333)) maybe this is important to you?
Beautiful evening
Daniel

 

Both worked for me with 5.0.1
though i need to do more comparison as initially i thought the alternate dt 0.33333333
was a little smoother

 

With me everything ffb is 0 Feedback with
(dt(/1 300)). With Fanatec dd1

 

Back to square 1 what was in that last update?

 

Wow, 90 GAIN is pretty high.

I change mine to the following:
Gain 50 (I reduce to this to 50 to prevent the wheel from oscillating a bit)
LFB 100 (This let me feel all the texture on the road when I corner but cause wheel to oscillate more)
FX 10 (this has got to be low because if i set it to high, it started to sort of skip the pavement when turning corner, increasing LFB will give it a smooth turning and you really feel the texture of the pavement)
Damping 100 (this also feel great at 100)

So far, I feel good about this set up and really give a presence of sitting in a real car driving because you feel the weight shifting as you turn, bump onto another car or sliding. I don't know about what anybody have in their setups but it just feel real when playing on a motion rig with all these feedbacks and also w/ motion compensation on. It's true presence especially in VR.

 

@Karsten Hvidberg @Shadak @Panos Schoino @Peter Stefani @Danielkart @Stakanov

while looking to amend my archives for new (dt(/1 300)), I got a little carried away as I do and started tweaking the 4.6-5.0 evo hybrid tune and may have discovered the cause of the oscillation's.

those files were not producing oscillation's until I started to bring more values in line with rFuktor5.0++.
This lead to the realization that the high understeer_scale is the biggest influence on the oscillation's.

in older files like 4.6 this was very low, and simply raising the scale values to match 5.0+ introduces oscillation, then doing the opposite to 5.0+ by reducing the value drastically reduces the oscillation.

Now the problem is, that these higher understeer scale values are needed to give the fantastic steering feel and weight to the 5.0++ files...
With low values its rather lacking..
But hopefully this may help give a target to focus on for a workaround .

 

As a follow up
I found that in the Evo hybrid tune file, the way that its set up with older oversteer/understeer code.
That adding in a decent amount of relax to the understeer takes a lot of the harshness out of the oscillations .
so maybe that's something to consider.
Here's a bit of a WIP of said tune, which I'm quite enjoying again after bring even closer to 5.0.1 its the Alt scrub file so less harsh of course, but I will sort out the others in the next day or so.

 

Sorry guys but its undrivable again no matter what gain, ffb strength, interpolation, damping I use the wheel sees every bump as a massive crater, braking is gonna rip my hands off and its just feels like full ffb then no ffb then full ffb! I dont really want use the custom file route but looks like im going to have too!
