    yes a default profile that actually had the parameters and a description nect to them should be normal, i mean currently we have an editable file with zero information on how to edit it

    Try the fanalab Profiles from Maurice Böschen....FanaLab - Share your favorite profiles - Page 26 I'm using a DD1. In combination with Danilekarts custom files it feels great to me

    Kukus ffb file with Tumi’s modifications in the zip folder felt the most immersive to me on my DD1 out of the few I tried in this thread.

    I also felt the base Kuku file was a bit weak based on needs, so Tumi modifications did it for me.
    I liked the SC1 one better than SC2 for my dd1.

    Tried the recent Atmos 05 1.4 with Yaw on the previous several pages. Was very nice except I couldn’t use it really, because during turns, even slow and prolonged ones the ffb became very hard to turn the wheel.
    Felt unnatural and would hurt lap times, otherwise the overall feel is great.
    As I don’t want to lower the overall force as it will lower everything else too.

    Also there were big jolts with kerbs or crashes so have to turn force intensity down too much.

    in Daniel karts version, it’s quite unique in that I felt the rear of the car a great deal with it. But it just didn’t suit me as in my mind it didn’t feel realistic (subjective). Though I can see how people would like it.

    Lastly, I found the normal Default plus had a lot of weird behaviour and excessive noise that you had to make everything less detailed by turning force intensity down a lot.
    the wheel moves all over the place to the point that it hurts lap times - even with Fx off or on 5.
    It’s too harsh over kerbs and too much vibrations in the wheel constantly unless smoothing is turned on higher, which I don’t want.
    Mostly it sort of felt tiring or mentally taxing to drive with default plus in a way

    I think for immersion purposes too much is a bad thing as it suddenly feels like your not using a steering wheel of a real car despite all the ffb is trying to tell you about the car… if that makes sense. Need to find the right balance.

    I had very similar experience with the custome files you mentioned but I do prefer Danielkarts with Tumi's a close second. Default imo is much better than Default+. Default + makes many of the cars undrivable with severe snap oversteer on corner exits. IMO default + is in need of a overhaul after the completed physics updates. I hope Reiza would make default + more closely inline with one of these excellent FFB files.

    Actually, to be accurate, the two files in @Kuku Maddog 's ZIP archive you mentioned, named "ffb_custom_settings -Tumi SC Pro tweak.txt" and "ffb_custom_settings -Tumi SC2 Pro tweak.txt" are identical as far as I know. So there should be absolutely no difference between those two files.

    To confirm this I checked the file size for both files. I also checked the parameters and values I altered in the file and both files have exactly the same modifications made to Kuku's base file. The two files have exactly the same file size of 48 639 bytes. The file name is the only difference between those two files.

    To be honest, I don't know why my tweaked file has been included as two "different" files in the ZIP archive (the file names also doesn't make much sense to me). I guess only Kuku can answer these questions. :whistle:

    But my tweaked file itself that is included in Kuku's ZIP archive is perfectly fine, just don't pay too much attention to file names, just pick one of the two, copy-paste it to your "Automobilista 2" folder located inside "My Documents" folder and have fun with it. ;)

    i dont like that tune of maurice because it just feels like on rails. You dont feel the back breaking out. You dont feel compression. You dont feel (front) wheel slip…
    Its easy to drive, yes. You can drive very fast with this file, yes.
    But i think it is very far away from being realistic or immersive.
    I found a way to get some effects back, like the effect of speed or heavy breaking that stiffens the steering. Or that going over low compression does the exact opposite.
    I will upload my tuned file (combination of maurice and atmos i think) at the end of the week. But i am still searching for a way to get a little more understeer-feel, not as much as in default but just as much that you can feel the limit of grip on the front wheels.

    if anyone knows what i mean i would be very thankful for suggestions.

    btw: nordschleife is an easy track to test all of the above mentioned effects. You only have to drive the first half of the track and got everything important - effect- and feeling-wise…

    Thanks Tumi,
    I didn't notice the file duplicated when editing name.
    I have amended the folder, but that means a new link added to previous post Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations and also in my Signature as always.

    Once again this shows the beauty of AMS2. You can create and share FFB files that you prefer instead of being stuck with only minor adjustments in all the other major sims.

    So true! I liked and do like ams2 so much. It is my preferred sim for graphics, vr, time trials and ai racing. Tried iracing, acc, rfactor2 and all the others too. Nothing compares to ams2. Only assetto corsa for just driving around and the modability can get close in how much fun and enjoyement it gives me. And it is just so un-complicated and user friendly! Hop in and drive! (And get crazy about the modability of the great FFB - first-world-problems we have…)

    REIZA rules!

    Also have you tried Reiza's "custom" FFB file? It maybe more inline with what you are looking for. Just delete the ffb_custom_settings file and then start the game up and go to the in game custom ffb profile. It will reset the file to the "bare bones" ffb file. I actually prefer it to default and default+. IMO and on my wheel it feels very similar to rF2.

    “Hello .... is this your new custom file?”

    No nothing new about it , i’ve had it in this state for months, Tumi has recently tweaked levels to suit stronger feel.

    “Non c'è niente di nuovo, ce l'ho in questo stato per mesi, Tumi ha recentemente modificato i livelli per adattarsi alla sensazione più forte.”
