Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

Also something that Kuku mentions in his zip file setup notes really made a big difference for me for center feeling.

"An often overlooked setting is the in game Steering sensitivty in the control configuration, I personally find that i have a bit of a deadzone with it set to 50, and like to run it at 75 in most cases"

I'm running mine at 60 with Simucube2 and it's great.

 

I noticed the same. I'm running mine at 75 with my Simucube 2 Sport wheelbase and it works beautifully.

 

Thank you both for your suggestions, tried them all. Unfortunately doesn't do much on my G29. Seems like there's a lot more deadzone after the latest update, both on default and custom files. Deleted documents, even did a full re-install, but no. Maybe someone else with a G29 here experiencing the same, or know what parameters to change? Thanks!

 

Tightening for Gear wheels is a black art, and can vary from one unit to the next, there’s not a one value to fix all. And without a Gear wheel it’s not possible to test, but I remember some if the experience when I had one .

I think the range is normally in the tightening range of 0.12 - 0.16 and fall of is usually a tenth of that roughly. so fall off of 0.012 - 0.016 , but then some might find better values that aren’t exact, like 0.02 or 0.04

I have heard reports of a GHub update in the last week , that stuffed up a lot of G wheels.
It’s best to ditch GHub and find a older version of Logitech Gaming Software.

 

Thanks for trying to help out! Tried all of your suggestions, but nothing seems to fix it. It felt good (enough) before the latest AMS2 update, so idk whats going on. Recalibrated the wheel and all that stuff, but it's just not driveable anymore for now.

 

Maybe do a game files validation in steam Ams2 settings
If in doubt do a full re-install of game.
There’s been cases of people having mixed experience’s with update and it’s been cured after .
I did a full reinstall regardless because I’ve had issues with it in past .
You can save things you want to keep from your my docs folder and put them back later. Things like graphics settings etc.

 

Thanks! You mentioned black art, so i decided to try that the norwegian way. I soaked the wheel in blood from a sacrificed goat, took it outside to burn down some churches and made it listen to the first Mayhem album all night long. Voilà! It's working better than ever!

(I also deleted the documents folder, did a full reinstall, AND validated the files in Steam. That was just boring.)

Btw your file with the tweaks by @tUMi feels really great on my (now) satanic G29! Thank you guys!

 

Have been using your latest file on my CSW 2.5 for the last couple of of days having moved from # Custom force FFB File from Daniel V42. Really impressed with it thus far.

 

Glad you like it, I removed it because the F1 Classic cars felt too loose on slow corners, I have a newer one I'll upload in a bit.
Here it is

 

Mind sharing your wheel + in game settings? I remember using a file of yours a few months ago and it’s never felt better tbh.

 

Hi, gain 60, lfb 0, fx 55. Then adjust gain per car in tuning menu.
Wheel settings I think are
Sen auto
Ff 100
Dri -2
Strength 100
Fei 60
Brf 60?
Everything else off.
Cheers.

 

Thanks. Damping on wheel at 0?

 

I think so, yes.

 

hey there i edit this line

 

G27 in game settings using @tUMi's exellent file from p282
Gain 85 - 88
LFB 46
FX 58
Damping 10
i also reduced the curb bump a little.
One some tracks the curbs still pull and unsettle car too much, i e Porsche cup at Monza
any help with this @tUMi ?

 

Hmm, for the moment I can only think of one or two things to help with this...

For certain cars on certain tracks you could try to decrease the vehicle specific FFB Gain from the vehicle tuning setup menu (or by mapping this function on your wheel button so you can do this while driving, for example). Increments of -5/-10 or +5/+10 from default value (100) should be enough to fine-tune the vehicle FFB Gain to your liking. Maybe that helps with the wheel pulling when hitting the curbs/sausages on the track.

If adjusting the vehicle specific FFB Gain is not an option for you or it doesn't have the desired effect on curbs/sausages, in that case you could try to decrease the values from these lines inside the file if you already haven't done so:

 

Logitech wheel user here, and I have no dead zone and a full center feeling, maybe try these settings if the other suggestions did not work fully.
(tighten_range 0) #Use for lower end wheel bases.
(tighten_falloff 0) #Use for lower end wheel bases.
(center_full 0.94) #0.0-2.0. Higher than 2 does not really do anything good.
(centering 0.58)

Experimenting with the last two values can usually get the feel you want.

 

Sorry, just realised I meant to say Damping IN GAME here, not on wheel. Assume the same still applies?

 

No damping, no. I think that file uses the damping slider for power steering anyway.

 

Is there a profile that has a line for each effect that user could simply change as desired ????

Eg:

FORCES
rack force
Scrub frequency
Brake
suspension
Acceleration
Kerbs
Bumps large
Bumps small
Grip loss
Off track reduction

Tried many profiles some are pretty good
But some offer some adjustments but not others
