    Well, black art isn't quite as mysterious as you wrote. So no black magic or witchcraft :eek:The feedback from all of you is very important to me and can give me new impulses and I am very grateful to you for that. So don't be upset or angry if I don't answer everything;)

    So your saying this one would be the best for those using a simucube2 pro base as well?

    Hey guys,

    Its' been a long while my rig has been down, but just have it up for a cpl. weeks & gave AMS2 a spin. Made a few edits to the original 5.0.1.3 to make it feel more to my liking these days, maybe somebody else will like it too, so posting here now.

    Went for a slightly more realistic feel - no suspension sop when driving straight, for example, but some other details are then getting much more attention.

    Changes:
    * Damping slider to match AMS2 original more, so keep at at 50% for DD.
    * More center
    * Slightly more evenly distributed from slow/low downforce to fast/high downforce.
    * Faster centering, better for quite a few cars for me.
    * More feeling for driving on edge & gaining traction.
    * No suspension when driving straight, but instead more feeling on road features when driving through corners and down in crests. So more like Assetto Corsa in this regard.

    It's an experimental, not 100% fine tuned, not sure it will ever be. Rig is going down soon again.
    It's just what I seem to prefer right now.

    Best for all & great to see all the mods are still going on here!

    Welcome Back old friend.
    great to see you , unfortunately i can’t try this out as my rig is in process of major upgrades thanks to insurance after a bit of a mishap.
    i will hope to be up and running by end of year.
    sounds like very interesting file , and now naming my recent file update rFuktor Revival is a bit silly … because this is :whistle:

    Hey Karsten!

    Nice to hear from you.Thanks for your file very nice to drive and there are good things that I feel and there are not so good things that I feel.Of course I went different ways with your files but in the end there should be something for every taste.I'll be honest with you now, I don't want to follow Reiza's defaults because I don't like them (until now).If that happens, I will immediately turn around and switch to the defaults.Your files will certainly be used as a basis by many modders again, which is good.

    It won't be my time anymore because I've already spent a lot of time on it and I've reached a final point (for me personally).Thank you again for your files and your work, which have been a lot of fun for me and continue to be:)

    Daniel

    A cpl months ago I made a script to convert python to the custom ffb dialect, btw.
    Didn't actually use it other than to see it works.
    In case anybody wants it I'm happy to post it. Should make custom ffb life easier, since python can be debugged, stepped through etc. Also allows functions that will be expanded on transformation to custom ffb code.

    Happy to make a cpl adjustments if you come to any conclusions. It def. is an experimental that might not make sense to anybody else than myself

    Very nice to see Karsten make an appearance again. I just gave the file a go and I quite like it. Tested with GTE, F-Ultimate Gen2 and Brazilian Stock Car. I have to say I had some oscillations on the straight in the F-Ultimate, the wheel would shake if let it go. Just wanted to give some feedback, I think it can always be of use.

    Great to see you back, I look forward to trying your file. It’s a testament to your work that you can take a year+ old file, do a few adjustments, and it works great even after all the adjustments done to the game :)

    Karsten, just keep your rig up because the gravitational sim racing forces have picked up again and you know you want to keep refining your experimental file. :D

    I kind of hope some people will keep up their modding and/or more will want to, when it can be done in simpler to write and debug python...
    But maybe that experimental needs to be polished as some other additional alternative too.. We'll see if it's worthy of polishing or if it gets hated on and easily dismissed

    But my wife's bday will end the rigs life again, which is next week, I'm afraid...

    I'm sure you know this better than me, but people keep posting their last and final file just to be posting another improved version a few days later. ^^ So I'm pretty sure people will keep hunting that theoretical perfect FFB file down for a while. :)

    I think this should try to be avoided , more wider content testing and critical testing is a good way of avoiding over saturated uploads.

    i don’t even bother uploading here now , everything gets lost in the mud.
    my last file post update is in my signature and available on RD .

    I think it would be really helpful if while @Karsten Hvidberg is around , if page one post could be cleaned up . maybe old files removed and perhaps it’s a good idea to link with your thread.

    I tried your last version and couldn't get on with it. I see you had an error in it and thought I'd try your new version. Amazing. You've really done a great job on this file. I highly recommend everyone giving it a try.

    This was the best solution and I edited my previous post to direct to yours.
