Automobilista 2 Custom Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

Karsten, I'm also running Simucube2, What are your settings in AMS2 and Simucube2 ?

 

In TD:

Force: 25nm
Recon: 1
Friction: 0
Damping: 0
Inertia: 0
Slew rate limit: unlimited

In-game:

Gain: 25-65, depending on car. Formulas ~25, less downforce higher gain.
Lfb 3-30. This one is very subjective, so adjust as you feel. More value means sharper feeling. But for example in a formula you prob. want it low.
Fx 50%.
Damping 50%.

My steering wheel is slightly large, so if you run a formula style rim, you prob. want lower FX and lower Gain.

 

Thanks that's really helpful for a baseline. Have it feeling really good.
Very impressed with the Simucube2

 

Here's my Fanalab settings for my DD1:


Friction, Inertia and Damper all at 0%.
I found that the key to avoid violent oscillations at high speed was to add a bit of speed sensitive damping:


In game settings for the Porsche GT1 are:


I mostly focused on controlling oscillations, but so far this feels very nice for me.

 

Per car FFB setting is now the way to go without needing to change the main in game gain setting.

 

Thanks for sharing this, Torstein, it's quite interesting as perspective coming from the sc2.
In general, I would probably go for a slightly higher Lfb for more sharp feeling of the front tyres.

The new version we're posting later today will have an extreme improvement in many ways, might be the biggest jump across all cars between any earlier versions. Some of the improvements are how relaxed the steering wheel is and a new damping algorithm that is blending in with the relaxation damping.

So it will allow higher Lfb values, if that's holding you back on that setting currently.
Also it will allow you to disable the fanatec speed dependent damping again.

Will post it as soon as @Panos Schoino has given the final thumbs up after some last minute changes were put in.

 

Hi Kartsen, hope you are well in these still crazy COVID days in Europe.

Been away from my rig in the last few weeks and just updated AMS2 last night, trying your latest Custom file with my TS PC racer wheel today and I am getting really massive oscillations in straight lines (afraid I would break my Playseat wheel deck if I continue playing lol)

Should I work on the in Game damping (its at default right now) or do you see a particular variable in your file I should focus on to fix this because that's just unplayable.
I am using the Mid Level variant at the moment

thanks so much

stay safe

 

Read back a few pages.

 

that's very helpful comment

 

My apologies.

Read back one page.

 

Something wonderful is happening

(@Nolive721 Good to see you back! Hold your horses for the new version, being posted now)
(@Jetglo & @torsteinvh The new version should fix your oscillation issues)

 

"The King" has landed

Information in the 2nd post as usual. Direct link here too: https://forum.reizastudios.com/attachments/silver-raw-the-king-6-6-5-36-zip.12019/

Huge kudos, THANK YOU's and credits to @Panos Schoino & @Shadak for making this version extra special!

 

Looking forward to the next version, Karsten! I haven't really started testing various settings yet, I wanted to have a stable, non oscillating baseline in place first.

 

@Karsten Hvidberg it looks like you have worked very hard on this, im wondering if it will work with a G29 or anything i need to change?

 

Instant feeling of slipping tires. Great job lads. Hope reiza just get the licence of this file and put into the its box setup lol.

 

Nice work Karsten! Feels so smooth, very different approach and nice improvement.
How can I tweak the oversteer rebound effect when tires break free? I'd like to be able to reduce that opposite pull intensity.

 

It's the exaggerate_over_steer variable, you can make it negative down to - 0.6. But 0.0 matches real life experience of @Panos Schoino sliding cars as much as we could 8)

 

Fantastic Thank You! I've found the sweet spot I'm very fond of sliding as well and race real cars. It's so much fun to have a racing sim getting really close to the real steering feel, AMS2 with your FFB blows all the other sims out of the water imho.

 

Awesome! Really happy to hear that from you
It's been fun trying to make it as real feeling as possible
There are differences between the cars that the custom file don't know about, so the "exaggerate_over_steer" will depend a little on the exact car driven. @Panos Schoino worked to find a good "base" that was the best compromise we could find between all cars & we made that fit with a value of "0.0". So it makes perfect sense it can be adjusted for better fit, depending on preferred vehicles.

 

Awesome! Thanks! Great job!!! Aditional question: Will there be an update on the PC2 version, promoting these changes???
