Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

Hello! There were only minor changes to the ffb on individual cars. Well, I've never had such a good feeling, now that the physics are "final" by Reiza. You may have already answered your own question by reducing the damping. The less damping a simulation needs, the better the physics (my opinion) For me it has always been more immersive with less damping and I have more feedback and feeling on the wheel (hence my variant 1 for in-game and base) . But there are people who prefer more cushioning, which works well.

 

Thanks my friend. You rock!

 

Hi,
Thanks to all the ffb brainiacs here!
My issue is with all the customs I've tried is the feeling of torque steer like in powerful fwd cars...except I get it with rwd cars. Cars like the sauber or the race gt classic corvette when I accelerate hard the wheel pulls left and right. I don't want that. I just want the wheel to get light when I lose rear grip. I can use scrub/vibration for fw grip loss. And the rest is fx.

What can I adjust and in what custom file can I adjust to achieve the aforementioned feeling?

TIA

Guido

 

I’ve drastically reduced this with my tune as I find that wheel pull on traction loss unrealistic too.
Might be worth a try.
you can find it in my Signature below.

 

Hi,
Thanks Kuku!
If I find it not enuff reduction of pull what would I adjust?

Thanks again

 

that would be pretentious to believe me as single user could influence Reiza coding of Trueforce API but yes that would be nice if they could bring back the previous feeling

as per Shakers and body massage,I think I have the full lot here on my rig alreadybut thanks for the suggestion

 

Are you using some Damper, it will reduce or slow the rate of pull .

 

TM control panel...
DoR 1080 or 900
Overall force, 100
Constant, periodic, spring, 100
Damper, 0
Boost, OFF

in game
Gain 80-100 depending on car
LFB 10
FX 30-40
Damping 0 depending on car.

If you can, test this on a high speed track like Monza in a classic formula

These files feel so good with the Formula cars but i am still tweaking for slower things with less downforce

 

Hi,

Thanks Kuku...I never used much dampening...I tried it. It doesn't do so much torque pull anymore. Trying to get more road details and a tighter wheel now.

BTW...I set rear grip loss from 0.0 to 3.0. I now get a lighter wheel but it comes in "late" in the grip loss and then all at once. 100% lightning of wheel.
What can I look at to adjust? I apologize for all these questions and I thank for your tune!

 

Bare in mind that this tune was done on a Simagic DD, and usually the strength of detail isn’t high when used on a low powered gear wheel, but it’s should be able to increased with the associated scales , ie master_road , and or individual bump scales etc.

I would suggest rather than increasing rear grip loss , that you try increasing (slide_factor 0.88) to 0.9 and see how it feels.

 

Thx man!

 

Some cars just have that horrible yoyoing under hard acceleration and no matter how much I try to tune it out with Damping etc on my DD it doesn't work. Only seems to be certain cars like the V8s.for example It's horrible and has put me off AMS2 recently. RF2 just doesn't have that issue at all. Doubt you will fix that with a Custom file. I don't use Custom anymore anyway as the Default and + work just fine. I also based this on Laptimes too Consistently faster than with a custom profile.

 

It's a different way to experience Ams2. Nobody has to take it, they have the choice. There are many people who take Customs, a few months ago you were one of them and according to your statements you were faster with it. To each their own

 

Hi,
I must say using kuku tune there is very little,if any, "torque pull".
Frankly, realisticly speaking, only power full fwd cars should show this kinda of effect.
It doesn't have to be in ams2... Its user choice.
I'm fine w that.

 

Hi . Which tune are you using ? Wouldn't mind giving it a go myself . Thanks

 

Yes, I was using 5.0.1.4 original which is the best of all the customs I've tried. Still is. Ive got a powerful wheel and didn't like or need the boosted strength of the FFB they see all seem to add. Fine for G27s etc but not DD. The Defaults are much better now.

 

I will be uploading a small revision of my tune shortly.

 

Excellent, thanks for your reply and effort.

 

Here is my small revision to previous upload, Changes are only small, but effective at being even more confident in oversteer control.
Please see Read Me doc for info.
It will be added to my Signature as always, so it can be found without trawling through pages and pages. ( My god, its over 300 now )

 

In preparation for an online race this night I gave the V46 a try after being on the last Karsten file. It didn’t feel bad, but road texture caused very strong shaking in the wheel so I quickly reverted to 5.0.1.4. I’m using an original Simucube with Lenze motor, so quite powerful although not the ultra latest generation of DD wheels.

Interesting we seem to have similar (subjective) observations.

Tips and advice on how to set up V46 are very welcome though
