    I tried the DFT and the DFT+, and found the DFT+ to be quite useable with a suitable combination of slider settings, which is the key to getting the feel you want.
    I still prefer the Custom FFB, but the DFT+ is certainly useable for anyone.

    Unfortunately not for dd with high Nm. Default's is overprogrammed. Custom toned down for strong wheels

    Loving your file so far Kuku! so natural and refined... brilliant piece of work mate!!
    After some hours of testing, I've been wondering if:
    *Is it possible to make it a tad heavier on curves at high speed without upsetting the overall feeling of the file?
    *What if the 'jagged' feel comes a bit but only at heavy wheel slip/drift, when you can hear the tire squealing a lot? What do you think?:p
    *Does AMS2 FFB admits gear shifting feedback? if yes, do you know how to do it?

    Thanks to you and everyone else implied in such great project! you guys rock!

    Hi it’s really just a newer scrub version of my old favourite Alt scrub.

    I think i know what you mean by jagged vibes coming later in tyre loading.
    that was something i was able to get with the alt scrub setup because it had the tear threshold much later ( 0.4) .
    but Karsten suggested that the tear should be felt pre scrub, so i’ve been trying to follow that implementation with the primary scrub based files.

    You might like to lower hf static reduction to 0.10 as i’ve probably got it set at 0.12 because some of the f-usa cars can get a bit stiff at limit.

    I feel like higher values of on/off throttle feel can give some gear shift sensations.
    thought i actually prefer not to feel it much as it cuts in to the steering feedback mid corner.

    Hi all,
    Just installed rFuktor 5.0.1.3 yesterday (first time trying a custom ffb), and found that in corners there is a LOT less resistance than the default ffb. Is this supposed to feel as close as possible to reality or is it merely to improve your lap times? (genuine question)
    I actually felt less immersed with this custom ffb.

    The settings you might be used to for default both in game and in wheel software, will differ quite a lot.
    there should be resistance even at low load and speed but should ramp up under load but. it to the point you can’t control the wheel. but should be enough to get a sweat on with some cars

    Is this better for you Daniel.
    Have switched around the scrub and tear.
    not sure there's much we can do for shifting effects apart from on/off throttle effects, but like I say I dont like the feedback cut mid turn if more prominent.
    but you can adjust to your liking.

    Gear Shifting Feedback? Yes, but there are unwanted side effects

    Soz for this noob question.
    Which file is best for g29? Or are these mainly geared for DD or high quality belt wheels?
    I tried searching g29 but it wouldn't let me.
    Thanks!

    I would clearly go to default or default+ . Your wheel is too weak for the Custom file

    You are using a DD1/2 so have you used a G29 recently to confirm this?

    You clearly seem to think you know everything but im Sorry mate, there are plenty of G29 users(me included) who are using the custom files to great effect. FYI i just spent the last hour testing some files to recommend to old mate Andy as the default+ file feels like a rubber banded wheel and the custom files are much better.

    Also FYI Stakanov and Peter Stefani contribute a lot to the development of the custom files but clearly your opinion is they are wasting their time? LMAO

    And would you look at that, There's even a line in the rack settings for low end wheel bases that i think helps a ton..

    # Rack setting
    (tighten_range 0.3)0.0 #Use for lower end wheel bases.
    (tighten_falloff 0.3)0.0 #Use for lower end wheel bases.

    Hey Mate, no such thing about being sorry and asking a noob question. Ive attached one of the earlier files Kuku and tUMi were working on that's really good. And another from a few weeks ago that I really like and has a couple of my personal tweaks.

    Ive just tested both of these back to back with the default+ file and much prefer these. Use in game force feedback at 100% and the following settings in the FFB menu.
    Gain 60
    Low force boost 30
    FX 30
    Damping 40

    You can add a touch more FX if your base is new but the older the base the more the rattle when you crank up the FX. Good luck, Benzaah

    I use a file from here with my g27... I'm not sure which it is but it is miles better than the rubber band defaults. These files do work well with low wheels. Thanks for the work you guys do to make them .

    A few pages back I posted my latest file for g29. I have been developing/using it from the beginning of Early Access. Much better than the default profile. No clipping, no dead-zone and better balance of forces.

    Unbelievable how aggressive some people react. I was just saying my opinion and my experience.
    Stakanov, Stefani and Kuku know what they're doing, unfortunately you don't. Yes, i had a g27 and a t500rs for a long time, and you?? I also know how a real fast car behaves (Audi R8, Porsche 911 gt3, Corvette Z06) street version, and you?? Also you didn't notice that default and default+ have changed since the Update.
    Boy, get me some facts before you try to be Einstein next time .

    @TomP
    What ingame settings do you use for your custom file?

    @Benzaah suggested for the two he linked. Do you think these will also work well for yours?
    100
    Gain 60
    Low force boost 30
    FX 30
    Damping 40

    Thanks

    Just had a looksee in your file.
    Says it all in there too.
    # NAME: Logitech G29 Custom FFB 1.3.3.1 (100/20/85/0)

    EDIT
    That website is pretty thorough! Loads of individual settings for cars.
    Love it!
