Actually, tell a lie. I forgot I had 3% Friction and 3% Inertia. Slew rate limiting is off and reconstruction filter is on 2.

Thank you very much! And in-game settings perhaps?

GWiz Anti-float FFB file:

Even with the improvements to the default profiles in the latest updates, I disliked the 'rubber band' feeling from the default settings with a lack of road texture and an overly aggressive 'return-to-centre' feel.

I've largely enjoyed using the various DanielKart FFB custom files and found them to be much better than the default profiles as far as the road feel and realism. Though DanielKart is no longer releasing any new files, his prolific posting along with suggested settings for multiple bases has been a real boon for the AMS2 community looking to try a custom FFB file that is well tuned.

There are some situations however that the Danielkart FFB fails to give good feedback of the tyre grip in my opinion. Diving into the files, this is largely due to the disabling of the earlier RFuktor Tyre_resistance 2 and 3 formulas which prevent adequate feedback in faster corners such as the 2nd from last corner of Spielberg where I found my virtual Mclaren unexpectedly spinning out on occasion with no feedback to tell me why. There are also some other areas where the FFB code has become broken with regards to grip loss with rear settings overwriting the front grip loss values. I found the Danielkart files to be good, but not quite right in the grip-feel for me.

Karsten Hvidberg who made and developed RFuktor from which the majority of custom FFB files are derived from (including all the DanielKart files) released a final version this year and further developed the FFB physics with his latest and final "Eddie de Beer & Friends Tribute" file. This file goes even further than the previous Rfuktor files and gives immense detail to the force feedback for AMS2 building upon the files that DanielKart has been tuning for the masses over the last few years. Initially I started changing the Danielkart files to my tastes, but with the issues with broken formulas and latter improvements being made to the mechanics of the Rfuktor base file, I decided to work with the more advanced Rfuktor FFB file instead.

Out the box, I personally found the latest Karsten RFuktor to be too light in the road bumps, texture and kerb details and to have a very aggressive snap-oversteer that made it difficult to recover naturally from slides. I've tuned the file to my personal tastes and posted it here.

The posted file is based on a Simucube 2 Pro with the base at 100% (I like to maintain a very hard bump-stop) and in-game gain at 45 to 50%, FX slider at 50% and LFB and damping at 0%.

FFB is subjective and you may prefer tame the bumps and textures or make other fine adjustments of the relative levels of FFB in more detail than can be adjusted by simply moving the FX slider in game. One of the main advantages of the posted file are the added comments throughout the file for the more important settings that will hopefully make it relatively simple for you to fine tune this file to your own taste by describing the effects that would be expected by the various settings and to try to demystify the complexity of the custom FFB file. Please feel free to add further descriptions and preferred settings to the file so that it can be further improved and can aid more sim-racers who have their own FFB settings nearly right if only I could feel the kerbs more etc.

What to use in the wheel base. I have a moza r9 v3

For those I like to run it at 45 to 50% gain, 50% FX and 0% damping and 0% LFB. FX lower if you feel too much road noise, LFB higher if you want more noticeable effects in high down force cars.

I've never used a moza wheel, but the same settings from the Danielkart file here should work, though I'd increase the in game FX slider as per your preference nearer to 50% and you may need a higher in game gain too. If you get a good setting combination or fine tune the intra-file settings to your base further, then post your preferred settings for others and we can add more detail to the FFB file.
