I am struggling a lot to get workable FFB with my new simagic alpha evo (12nm)
In short I get high frequency vibrations in the wheel if the road surface is anything other than totally smooth ie the wheel is too sensitive to these effects. FFB filtering in simpro manager does not mitigate this nor damping in game settings. Even if I set FX to zero and FFB effects in simpro to zero
I would have thought the recommended game and base settings by simagic would not cause this but for me it does. I actually quite like the reiza default setting but can only use it if I keep the gain quite low and in cars that arent so sensitive to road effects. GT3 not too bad but P3 no good
I know some of the issue is my old original Obutto cockpit is not rigid enough or at least the stand the wheel is on is not, but it is not that flexy. I got the Obutto over 20 years ago - long before we had Direct Drive..I dont think the Logitech G25 was even out then..I had a Driving Force Pro back then.
Point is we should not have to have a 100% rigid rig to use these wheels
I have tried some of the custom files...most still have the vibration issue. Daniel Karts one is workable if I keep the FX down around 12 in cars like the P3 but a bit more is ok in GT3 but for some reason I dont like the wheel feel in that custom file - seems overly damped or something - hard to describe but it is the same with the Karsten file. The GasandGo one was OK in this respect but vibration was bad.
I wish the default setting was available as a file to just be able to lower the road texture level a bit
I dont have this vibration issue in LMU. At the moment I dont have any other driving games installed
Note this vibration is not oscillation...if I grip the wheel firmly it helps reduce it but again car dependant

I really like the P3 Rocco but the vibrations from the track surface are really bad. I've just got a Simucube Pro, upgrading from a Fanantec DD1, and whilst it is a bit smoother I can't run the ffb as strong as I'd like to with these vibrations. They can be somewhat reduced by using the notch filter in the driver software but the settings I think are pretty extreme. I like default+ but think I'm going to have to explore the custom options again...

Hi

just coming back to ams2 after a 2 year break to check in with it

the ffb still feels lacking

is there a go to custom file that most like ?

Yes, the Simagic Evo series has this "Slew Rate Control" setting, and you can use a little of it. However, it's counterproductive to use a high Slew Rate Control setting. These Evo bases are designed to be very responsive and lively, and they advertise "zero cogging." If you set a high slew rate or excessive damping, you'll castrate this base into a slow and sluggish base, and you might even end up buying a base that doesn't have these advantages.

May not have to be a lot. If he has tried everything else, it's got to be worth a shot.
