Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

@Manolo I would let it go, if it is really as it seems, I am convinced that this is of no use, indeed do not correct anything anymore, let them build their castle of untruths and leave them convinced of what they claim.
Anyone who knows the code a little, knows and is silent, I can only feel sorry for the user who cannot objectively evaluate the situation because he can not help but upload a file and give an emotional and hasty judgment.

@AntoAntoDD I'm going to test this combination.

 

For anyone with a Fanatec DD1 or DD2, this was just posted in the Fanatec forums by Maurice Böschen:
FanaLab - Share your favorite profiles - Page 26
Custom Fanalab profiles for a lot of the cars in the game, combined with a custom FFB file based on rFuktor 5.0.1 with modificatons by Danielkart and Maurice.
I've tried most of the different rFuktor variants, but I must say that this combination of Fanalab profiles and custom FFB feels really, really good, maybe the best of them all.

 

I will try to insert the suspension 5.0.1-hybrid 1-2 ....

Let's see what comes out if I just import the values of this tuning into the 5 ATMOS .... I'm not interested in beating but just experimenting.

 

Can we use a log function in custom files? ("log x y" ?)

 

I have a request. Could someone please check and confirm that on custom file generated by the game FFB in Copa Truck (all models) is inverted. I wonder if this is "only me" bug or if it affects everyone.

 

Hi all,

I've tweaked the rFuktor 5.0.1.3 to my own liking for the TR300.

Main take aways:

- Dynamic restistance on the wheel at different velocities (very low between 1 and 50 km/h - stronger as speed increases)
- Pronounced oversteer, back braking out
- Pronounced brake feel (heavy res under braking)
- Tighten range for low end wheels left at 0 since it diminishes detail for me and introduces weird vibrations on long straights. Instead I increased the main rack scale to 0.94

Personally this works very well for me as I know exactly where the limits are of the car in stages from understeer, to slip, to oversteer. Tested on Formula Ultima, GT3, GT4, Formula Retro, Group C, and some others. The FFB is consistent with these classes. I tried to recreate the AC feel of FFB and I'm happy about the results!

In game settings:

Gain: 100 (75% in Thrustmaster config)
FX: 45
LFB: 0
Damping: 0

Wonder what other TR300 users think? I imagine the low FFB in very slow corners is not that informative for some but I like it

Many thanks to the people responsible for the original file, yall MVP!

 

Hi I’m using a custom profile which feels great ,
Which figure do I change in the file for increased brake/suspension effect ?

if possible ?

 

You don't say which custom file are you using, so it's going to be very, very hard get someone to help you...

Look inside... some names and comments are often very obvious - change and see what happens.

 

For those using ffb_custom_settings - ATMOS 5.0.1.4 - MOD V1.4 FIX (WITH YAW).txt (probably present on similar custom files)

I think I found a typo... If anyone is using it, check line 357 or look for "(13" (thirteen, there is only one occurrence) and replace with "(l3" (lower case "(L3").

 

is the basic un edited custom file the same as "default" or "default+"?

thanks

 

Hi everyone this is the last time i gave i chance to this game cause i'm really wasting tons of time to try to set up the FFB as i want ( as i have it on AC , where i found the combination that makes me feel like when i'm in the real car ).

I'm using the custom file from @Thompsonbra and it feels pretty good every where except when i go over a curb i simply can't feel the whell changing hight --> when i go over a curb the wheel dosn't do anything and just shake over the irregularities on the curb itself , but can't fell the feedback of the wheel going on the curb ( i don't know how to explain ) is there a value to change that can modify this aspect ? ty ( the file i use is attached )

 

This is the video that can better explain my problem: https://youtube.com/shorts/8dpMsMS917k

 

(brake_feel 3.2)
(suspension_scale 0.35) #how much the suspension is felt.

Adjust to your own liking.

ffb_custom_settings

 

Good that you mention it! Feel the exact same way but I thought it might be an AMS2 thing because some kerbs do have this sensation (Bus stop at SPA) while others don't...

BTW you might want to change the '(exaggerate_front_load_feel)' to its default value which is 0.5 I think. I increased it too much and FWD cars feel too heavy...

 

am i the only one who finds default+ much more better than this custom configs? on a t300rs

 

Mmm, what do you like about it? I couldn't really tell what the ffb was doing personally on this setting. I also felt it has this weird oscilation at times, even on the straights..

 

Gracias!!
Thanks @Thomponsonbra, now I can feel the understeer perfectly on my ts-pc racer
The other files over load the ffb too much

 

Hi all

this is a really great ffb profile
Is there a way to add/increase the suspension effect so I can feel sharp braking etc ???????????

It’s a bit of a strange conversion from early PC2 customs that file.

you could try small increase in (brk scale ) but that looks like it’s more a vibration effect.

In that PC2 language , the fx axis will contribute to brake or longitudinal force .

and the fz axis is more to do with suspension vertical loads.

neither of them have any kind of multiplying like the other axis inputs.
So maybe you could try adding them into the fx because looking at it , they aren’t even actively bound to any form of slider like Fx nor are they having any connection to final rack output unless I’m missing something , and once active , who knows what might happen.

I think the only output you are feeling is just coming from the base Reiza Rack. .

I’d proceed with caution if at all with this file.

 

Thanks
This profile really allows user to feel rotation if the car , good detail too
But would like to add a couple of other components
