Hello, I hope that everyone reading this has had happy holidays and that your life is full of peace and health!

I hadn't used AMS2 for several days, and just today I did a couple of online F1 Gen3 races (the last Gen2) and immediately noticed excessive front axle grip. Is there really a problem, or is it just me?

All my Moza hardware is still working...

I discarded the FFB file I was using and tried Default +, as well as the online lobby settings to rule out any assists that might have been active without me realizing it, went out and did a fast lap, and I kept noticing the same unnatural sensations that weren't there before this update. I use only realistic aids. Does anyone know anything, or is it just my perception due to not using it for a while?

I don't know the details of your wheel, but it is a good quality mechanical/belt wheel. Aside from watching the video I posted above so you will know how to set up your own wheel properly, the three key points are:

Before you even look at game settings, you need to ensure your wheel base has all neutral settings

No possible way you would need 50 for LFB. I have what is probably a similar wheel and I use 5 for LFB. The goal is to use the lowest possible amount and you don't need any if the wheel feels fine at centre (while driving) with it at 0. Most DD wheels would use 0 or 1.

There is no possibility that 0 Damping is a good value (an any wheel). Start at 25 and see how it feels. Then try 0 and then 50. Which is best of the three and which is second best? Work up or down from first place towards second place. Highly unlikely you would need to go above 50, but if 50 feels much better than 25 then try 75. After you have a first and second choice, try steps in between them until you hit the sweet spot.

There is no short cut or copying and pasting that works given all the different hardware out there and all the ways we can screw-up the wheel base settings. Since you can change the values in a session while you drive (paused to change them), take the 10 minutes to find what feels and works best for you (which may not be the same as for me, even if we had the identical hardware and setups).

I do want to point out that since the new ffb profiles got added (with the 2nd of October 2025 update), lfb at 50 and 0 damping is now the default Reiza setting for all the belt driven Thrustmaster wheels (like the ts-pc, which is what i use). they, for me at least, work better then the settings posted all the way at the start of the thread. But j haven't jumped back into the weeds of ffb tuning yet (and part of me is reluctant to)
