Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

the one of the mclaren is much cleaner, more direct, the porsche one seems mellow, the car does not respond well, it is not fast and responsive. now i try as you say the default ... it would be great if it was like the MC.

Thanks

 

One thing i tried last night and i quite liked.
I switched to default custom file in game. it already feels different to default ( aren’t they ment to be the same if not modified) . Then I turn off the scrub fx in the file ( using # at start of lines for those unfamiliar with custom files ) .
so now i’m just getting signal from SETA tire feel.
it’s much smoother and can feel grip better.
doesn’t solve the bounce problem of porsche’s though , that’s the physics of the way Reiza have them set up , the tires feel like Nolathane bushes.

 

Hey Easy81,

I'm not quite sure, will have to take a look, is there a specific car that's doing it really badly?

 

Agree with this - a few versions ago the ffb on DD" was a revelation but it somehow didn't translate into the public build

 

Thanks for the latest revision; your fixing of the "big bad bug" has made all the difference with my Logitech G25 at 85/10/50. Thanks Karsten!

 

Can you share your file, pls. Found many lines with 'scrub' (within Scrub FX heading, and above as well) and might remove incorrect ones

 

Its just this bit in the FFB custom setting file in your My documents folder

# Scrub ----------------------------------------------
#(FL_scrub (soft_clip FL_scrub 2.0 0.0))
#(FL_scrub (scoop FL_scrub 0.8 0.999))
#(FL_scrub (* FL_scrub (oscillator 1.2)))
#(FR_scrub (soft_clip FR_scrub 2.0 0.0))
#(FR_scrub (scoop FR_scrub 0.8 0.999))
#(FR_scrub (* FR_scrub (oscillator 1.2)))

 

What effect did these lines have on the actual FFB?

 

They make the left side 50% less sensitive.
This affects everything. Balance feel is far less, details and bump feel the same.
It basically made the whole thing more dead. It simply killed those files.
They were a leftover from a brief debug session....

 

Hey Easy81,

Looked at it, and it's a small fix, change this:
(acc_dec_scale (+ 1 (* 0.5 acc_dec_feel (/ (- (smooth vel_mag 0.1) vel_mag) (max 0.02 vel_mag)))))

To this:

(acc_dec_scale (+ 1 (* 0.5 acc_dec_feel (/ (- (smooth vel_mag 0.1) vel_mag) (max 2 vel_mag)))))

I will post this in a new file later as well.

Best,

-K

 

Easy81,

Here is the new version with fixed jerky wheel at stand still, direct link: https://forum.reizastudios.com/attachments/silver-raw-6-6-5-9-9-9-9-9-5-zip.10846/

It also adjusts the lightness on acceleration to be slightly less.

 

Will they provide more setting for ffb even a lut file support? Current settings don’t allow any fine tuning.

 

Would be nice, but so far nothing has really been done to support any customization except not actually removing the custom ffb option completely.
No idea what Reiza's strategy/politics is on it, and I think we'll only know in quite a while, since either way they are buried in work for now

 

Hehe, yes, I can understand that.
How high do you have the Lfb slider?

 

Very low filters.
Minimal recon 1.
Friction 5% or so.

Please try lower Lfb.
Is your steering wheel a very light or heavy type?

 

hi quick question with the newest files which by the way did fix the weird feel i had after the latest AMS2 updates thankyou. However, I now have an issue with over-rotation. I have had this in the past but AMS2 seemed to have more or less resolved the issue however it is back. Is there anything in you file that may affect this ?

 

over-rotation?
I am not quite sure what you mean?

 

Hey Easy81,

Just posted new version that should fix the issue & also it does not exaggerate the details & bumps on use of lfb slider: https://forum.reizastudios.com/attachments/silver-raw-6-6-5-9-9-9-9-9-6-zip.10855/

 

It sounds really weird.
I have the same wheel base & I don't get the vibrations, what are your in-game and TrueDrive settings?
It could be you need to delete the "Documents/Automobilista 2" folder & set up your config again too. This is required on occasion between releases & the custom FFB will act really weird sometimes if that's the case.

 

Ok, those should not cause any problems.
It must be something else.
I would like to add that using the custom file I think those high friction/damper & inertia will remove quite a lot of the feeling.
I would lower them all. Actually putting damper & inertia to 0. Then friction at 5%, maybe.

But it sounds like the issue might be that you need to delete the "Documents\Automobilista 2" folder, I'm afraid.
Then add the custom file back in again & restart the game.
