    Whatever doesn't change anything... :)
    See my Moza settings (a few posts back) to get an idea.

    Perhaps someone with the same wheelbase can jump in.

    Would also be interested in this for the CSL DD 8nm

    Show me the settings and I'll tell you what to choose... Then you go from there to get the best for you.
    If you don't choose neutral settings (settings that won't change original signal) your already creating a different flavor, which is fine for your individual use but may not be the same too others.
    That's why I create incentives to start with neutral settings.

    All in all, I recommend changing parameters in the file itself rather than put the wheelbase in charge - that's one benefit of custom files.

    Not been following this thread too much, but can this be used with the simucube 2 sport? or is it tuned for a specific wheel?

    Every custom file is tune with a specific wheel (the one we own), not necessarily for a specific wheel :).
    Try to contact Elcid43 that liked it in his SC2 Pro (page 359).

    I have a different opinion. Reiza also gives recommendations for their defaults for the bases. Yes, the customs are a little more difficult, but that's exactly why I wrote my customs for different powers and also for different bases. If these forces are correct in the file then it doesn't matter whether it is a dd or a belt-base. And with my V400 and now V500 customs it has been made even easier for me to recommend settings for the different bases. Because a lot of filters are eliminated and the file does that for the users

    hi guys.

    I am new to AMS 2, and interested in trying custom FFB file for my simagic alpha mini. Which one should i go for?

    Thanks!

    There's no mention of my base here, a Leo Bodnar "Sim steering 2" 26nm DD wheel that's the equal or better than anything mentioned here. I've tried a friends Simucube pro and was quite surprised at how much better my wheel felt. Also, it only has basic adjustments for Damping inertia and friction.
    Got my wheel in 2016 and still going strong!!

    Finding the "correct Custom profile" is really up to the user at the end of the day. There are many great custom profiles available, but I would start with a profile designed to work with wheels in your Nm output range.

    Otherwise, most custom profiles can be altered to work with various steering systems (for those open to file-editing exploration). Warning, Rabbit-Hole alert! :p:D

    I think this “rabbit hole” process is over for me personally. It was a long journey and there were times when I thought about quitting. But the effort and commitment was ultimately worth it for me and maybe other people out there too. I'm now in the fortunate position that I only have to react to major updates or when I sense that something has changed. As already mentioned several times, the Reiza update 1.5 was the decisive and best advance in physics for me and this also opened up many new and exciting possibilities for me with the FFB. Everything that comes now is a sweet addition:)

    Yeah, completely understand where you are coming from. I've spent more than my fair share of time in those (ffb Rabbit holes) over the years. I learned a lot in the process though, so I got much more than just a dirty nose out of it. :)

    Hi, go to page 355,
    Danielkart made a V400, but V500 on the way and he makes incredible custom ffb files, you can try V400 and come and try V500 when the magics happen!

    Again, Danielkart, you're the best thanks for all!

    @Danielkart You also have the Simucube 2 Pro as your main wheelbase right?

    I never tested V400/500, keen to test it when it comes out (for 1.5.3). I was very happy with Heavy Messing that i tuned easily to my taste. Now since 1.5.3 my Heavy Messing FFB feel changed a lot. Actually much more than I expected. Instead of re-adusting it for 1.5.3 myself, does anybody know, if Heavy Messing got updated already or will be soon?

    The last known version of Heavy Messing is from June 5th 2020, AMS2 changed a lot since then.
    There are some very good Custom's now and from my POV at the same ballpark, I would try Daniel Kart, Alegunner68, Joaquim Pereira and Kuku (@RD).
    All of them with different approachs but leading to very similar results on my TM-TX, the final choice is up to you.

    Hey @Joaquim Pereira thanks for the new version!

    I have only one question, I am experiencing quite heavy oscillation under braking when using for example Formula Classic Gen4 M2. Very similar neutral setting in moza pit house to the ones you posted previously, this effect is not noticeable at all with GT cars for example. Which parameters should I look for in the file if I want to reduce this? You can test it out yourself if you try the Gen4 M2 if you want.

    Otherwise to solve it I reduced torque output in moza settings. In game I am using 70-0-20-0

    Thanks again!
