Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

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

 

What wheelbase do you have?

 

Nice to see you stoppin' in!
Thanks for sharing your file, will be running it through its paces tonight!

 

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

 

It's a Simucube 2 pro.

 

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

 

Interesting

 

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.

 

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.

 

Buy her a copy of automobilista 2!

 

Yes, if you want a divorce

 

I thought this thread was all about sharing and getting feedback...

I think the way I do it (put everything in the same post) avoids that. I can even delete older versions, so I wish to, without disturbing conversation.
I urge others to do the same.
Nobody is obliged to test or use posted files. Praise files/authors without even test the files, like you did, is not useful at all and creates a culture of personality instead of contemplating virtue.

Thanks.

Because someone (privately) put forward a doubt, I would like to make a note that my file requires setting up the system in a particular way (put torque limitation at wheelbase/driver level, because it's safer). Please, read my "original post" (the one in my signature).
Other files, from other creator/modders, have equivelent conditions like changing the GAIN changes not only the gain but the transfer curve itself, requiring also a particular way to setup the system. Either way is valid from a functional point of view, but they must be honoured to get the intended effect.

BTW, the reason I was contacted privately is exactly the because of this "praetorian guard" we see everytime someone says something they don't like, even if it doesn't harm anyone (like comparing feeling with other sims). Please, respect others oppinions and counteract with valid discussion arguments - we must change this culture of polarization in very topic of every area of human existance. Let's do our part here in a sim that we all love (or else we wouldn't be here, right? )

 

Ok Charlie.
