Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

Update:


* New scrub effect: Amplifying the Reiza scrub when required. It was always there, just weak. Experimental.

* Grip impact corrected for balance & momentum.


The rest same as 1.2 from just earlier, in the previous post.

(There might be one little improvement later, for a slightly fuller picture, if I find 5 mins at some point )

Thanks for the help and continual updates. Really liking this file; I would however still like to turn down the sort of background rumbling in my wheel rim -- I've tried modifying a few values in the 'Engine FX' section but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Any suggestions on something I could change to lower that effect?

EDIT: Lowering both 'min rps_scale' and 'max rps_scale' by an order of magnitude seems to have done the trick.

 

There are 2 effects that would do this, the "road rumble" and the "engine vibe":

At the top you can set "road_rumble_scale" to 0.0.
And if you don't like the enginve vibrations then "engine_scale_at_still" to 0.0 as well.

Next update will have the road rumble at 0.0 by default, as it seems to be just a few other people than me appreciating that

Cheers!

 

Thank you, that did it! Love the way this feels now. Great work!

 

Update:

* Adjustable front load exaggeration. Default at 0.0. Set to maybe 0.5 if you like more.

* Road rumble adjusted to default at 0.0. Set to 0.03 if you like it.

* Slightly softer scrub. The new scrub is still experimental. Do let me know if we should advance it more or go back to canned scrub effect.

* No smoothing to get total front load. Read at sec 3, once. More stable at all times.



The rest same as 1.2 & 1.3 from earlier today, in the previous posts.

Final update for today:

"Happy mix" - Lesson learned seems to be that stuff that is LFB related, should change with the LFB slider, not the FX slider. Some road effects I think became too crazy at various FX levels. So it's ping-pong forth and back again in on which slider controls what, but with some twists that might hit a sweet spot


* LFB slider for all LFB related changes.

* FX slider for additional effects: scrub/rumble/engine vibes - Good spot for me is 50%.

* Reiza Rack used for details: Minor scrub now comes through too & fits with the new scrub boost that exactly boosts that same scrub. This was the "full picture" mentioned earlier. Not sure of it yet, so still experimental.


The rest same as 1.2, 1.3 & 1.4 from earlier today, in the previous posts.

I tested the 1.2 at length with several cars and I found it excellent.
since others left I will test tomorrow to see the best for me

 

I would like help how much to configure the controller damping option?

 

OMG Karsten, that file was great, at least, for my modest G29 at least a good feeling without that center deadzone or a terrible notch. I use gain 80 lfb 70 fx30 and the feeling was superb, feels linear, not to grainy, not crazy jumps in extreme angles. Keep the good job and thanks.

 

Guys, do yours custom force-feedback settings keep working on multiplayer? Mine is feeling completely different, like my ffb_custom_settings.txt is ignored online.

 

If you have a wheel you don't need to touch that option, it's for controllers only.

 

I like that file realy, but now i had the idea: "What happen, when i try to use it in pCARS2?"
Its the same engine, or not?
I just load it, and want test it...

 

I'm quite sure it doesn't work. At least not as expected.

 

Yes, me too, but i test it. I just wait for download of pCARS2, 12am it's ready.

 

It won't work. There is no "rack" in PC2. You have to build up the rack force yourself from the separate X, Y, & Z forces and moments acting on the wheels.

 

Okay, is that possible, to generate it for pCARS 2 special? Because, it's a good Simulator but with extreme terrible FFB.

 

I've already tried doing something similar for PC2 but the information from the forces/moments is so bad that there isn't much you can do.

 

The best you can get for PCARS2 are the custom FFB files from Christiaan van Beilen, Hugo Vai or the well-known Jack Spade, i guess.
But that's all offtopic.

Back to AMS2 now.

 

May also try this one... https://www.madnessgarage.fr/

 

@ZeferinoCoutinho
Thank you very much, that are on a good way, but no AMS2 ;-)

Back to, AMS2:
How can i eleminate the vibrations on under- or oversteer, please?
