    Thanks,

    Did you try it while having static force reduction set to 0 in simucube 2?
    Also, have you tried setting simucube 2 static force reduction to 80% (and 0% in the file at the same time) to compare?

    Oh sorry, I didn't tell you that.Yes, it was of course tested with 0% static force reduction on the base.And yes, I also tested the other way round (but only with my file) with the full static force reduction on the base, and here it does exactly what it's supposed to do without any loss of FFB and without any anomalies in the steering axis

    Regards

    I am wondering what you mean by "without any loss of FFB", since static force reduction should exactly reduce the FFB force. Maybe I read you wrong?

    Thanks,
    Karsten

    Yes, I think we are misunderstanding each other here. I don't mean the power that should be reduced (it should and does) I mean the FFB effects (In Game FX)

    yes, periodically I tested many of this list, the specified effect (brake_feel) always interfered and I had to reduce the overall strength of the feedback,but now I know how to adjust it, thanks to Daniel.

    If FFB power is reduced, then other FX will also be reduced, seems logical.
    I don't understand why any wheel base OEM wouldn't include SFR in their config set up.
    Once you discover SFR, you'll probably never stop using it. And when combined with the "slip" controls inside the cFFB files, it's a must for finding the limits of grip.

    Sorry for this question which i know you probably get loads, but im new and cant find it...
    Do you have recommended settings for the wheel software itself (in my case fanalabs)?

    Hello! Fanatec's base settings can all be found at the beginning of the file when you open the file. The last file I have is now the V5000 and if you use a belt base from Fanatec I recommend this file

    I think you're reading too much into it. I think its a Rick and Morty reference. They probably don't even know about what happened In the UK.

    Yeah I realised that they meant something else later on.
    I just came on and the first post I read was that one.
    Reacted without going back and reading more of the thread. :oops:

    I gave myself a slap on the Head ;)
    If anyone else would like to slap me, Feel free :)

    Awesome, thank you!
    Is there a way to always find your latest versions quickly? I spent a while yesterday trawling through the forum to find v1000

    I gotta say that after trying so many different custom FFB that this for my liking is the best as it feels so intuitive to what the car is doing and the response from the wheel feels most genuine. Thanks very much to JP and all the FFB creators. This one deserves its own thread because I found it quite by accident only few days ago and has transformed the driving for me. For reference I am using ScPro2 and have my wheel strength at 68% = 17nm in TrueDrive.

    Hi, I'd like to be able to create my own custom files based on the default ffb. How do I do this? Because the default custom profile you have to start from scratch as I understand it.

    What I would like to achieve is:
    1. Turn down ffb while stationary and engine vibration to zero. Because when I'm stationary, even with the engine off, my wheel goes nuts when I take my hands off..
    2. Massively decrease the flat spot effect

    For everything else I'm perfectly fine with the default setup

    Hello guys,
    quick question: Does anyone else experience a bug where the FFB seems to be extremely muted after pausing or restarting a race? I use an old Microsoft Sidewinder FFB wheel with an custom FFB file. The wheel works only when I configrue it as an "Legacy Wheel" in the controll settings. In 50% of races it works flawless but in the other 50% of cases the FFB is very weak (no vibration, even on curbs/grass). After pausing or restarting the race the FFB (sometimes) works again correctly - but it is annoying to restart a race multiple times until I can feel the motor vibration. Any ideas?
