Automobilista 2 Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

G27 here.
Today I've tried Kyalami. Great track but the FFB had a step back on my feel.
I dont feel the car, singleseaters and Stock Car.
The V8 is pretty good, but not so sensitive.
Maybe is a setting issue.
Tried many ways, but i feel the wheel dead at 0 mph ( there's a tweak to get a force with the car stopped?) and under heavy bracking no feelings...

I know it's is in development and hope @1.0 to find a way to feel as good as AMS 1

 

I'm on DD wheel, but while I really like the new track, the P1 Sigma seems very jolty/spikey on that track, while the Gen3 f1's for example are much less so... It's weird. But it was the same with the Super V8 in the beginning and now it's much less so, although still too much.

Looking at replays of the P1 Sigma on the track it seems the wheel should not jolt around, but be very steady. Driving it it jolts...
Maybe some of the ffb algorithms were developed and tested on belt wheels and the jolts that feel excessive on a DD feels just fine on a belt?
I would imagine it would feel just fine if these jolts were much less pronounced and Way weaker.

 

With so much changes of ffb feels since few days, it's boring so i've decided to stop playing..waiting for V1.0 release now and hope for more stable things

 

Not sure what DD you use but on my DD1 the spiky jolts actually stopped for me after last update.

 

No, I have tested all settings (gain, LFX, FX) a lot of hours, and always with Old Default it's much better and more realisitic for me. How I can backup old default settings? I dont want that this will be removed in future updates.

 

I feel like there is too much of a difference between wheel-bases, not just because of models but maybe actual game ffb being affected? ... What is your current setting? I can definitely feel tires being loaded under braking. When I turn the wheel slightly, accelerate, it gets lighter, then I brake at the same wheel angle and it gets heavier. It was much more pronounced 2 patches ago but its definitely still there and feels a bit more realistic imo.

 

Guys, you can set what ever you want, if it's broke for you at the moment. It's just one important single slider....lowforceboost, if you find not correct value it's over. Gain is just gain, fx are just fake effects. I don't think that 1 little option can end in perfect result

We need minimum pc2 tone control, or better pc1 options. I prefer that "custom-profile" unlocks pc1 options with in-game control, that would be nice.

 

Simucube 2 Pro, should be in my signature.
I agree jolts are less on some maybe most cars.
Have you tried P1 Sigma on the new track though?

 

Sorry, but this post shows that you have no idea how the AMS 2 FFB works.

 

Boss Man as always is all over it I look forward to this new FFB next week ! Keen AF really

 

Oh right sorry. Yes and I tried the Sigma on new Kaylami just now to make sure I dont remember it wrong. Its one of the smoother rides actually and there is no jolts or ffb spikes at all, I feel the road texture, curbs, downforce, etc. but its nothing violent. Other certain cars/tracks are much bumpier and heavier.

EDIT: this is at 79/30/26 .. increasing lfb and fx gives me uneven ffb at certain situation, especially too much noise in center compared to turning.

 

You obviously have an auto-rotation problem that needs to be fixed prior to any attempts to optimize the FFB sliders. There are threads dedicated for your wheel you should read if you need help.

 

Have you tried a high gain / high LFB setting? That worked for me on my preious wheel.

 

I think anyone with a Logi G stuck at 900 degrees and with all the sliders in the wrong place will be getting poor FFB.

 

Is that referencing his weak FFB? If so, the FFB is actually quite weak on G series wheels in general, and I'm not sure it has anything to do with the rotation. It was a bit weak at 100 gain on my T300 too until I bumped it up a bit via the custom profile.

 

Thanks Shadak,

I tried upping the Lfb higher than I normally would and that helped.
It is WEIRD to have to up the Lfb... The jolt force is still in there, just that the Lfb ups the low forces to keep the jolts more in check it seems.

But THANKS 8) This was an improvement to multiple cars!

 

I think he meant the Kart comment. When calibrated properly the steering should align to each car. But technically that shouldnt mean a bad FFB so not sure now.

 

That is odd, what LFB do you run at the moment? Does the SC2 have some kind of intensity setting that could be too high? On DD1 if I "overboost" intensity or shock it gets a bit noisier/spikey.

 

And your post shows that you ignoring all the knowledge that the community of project cars has gathered with madness engine over years. But yeah reiza make it work with 1 option....without ffb post process.

I have enough knowledge to compensate with commands in custom profile. But I think it's better if anybody can do this ingame.
