Automobilista 2 V1.4 Force Feedback Overview & Recommendations

The drift mode in the minus range dampens the FFB, whereas in the plus range the FFB becomes lighter at higher steering speeds in order to be able to countersteer more quickly.

 

Hey Marius! There is an explanation for your light wheel. There is an ideal range for gain in the game. With your dd1, it's in play at about 65% gain. If you now set the gain at your base (dd1 = 20Nm) to 100% you will also have 20Nm peaks. If you set the gain at your base to 50% you will have 10 Nm peaks

 

sorry if it was mentioned before but I have a question about FFB settings for old wheel Logitech MOMO Racing (black). My problem is that FFB effects are too weak... Racing car feels weightless and empty...grip feels not good enough, especially on low speeds...any suggestions how to improve FFB?

 

Your centering force is too weak for starters. Assuming you're using Reiza's FFB profiles, start with the Reiza custom (basic) profile at the recommended in-game G25 settings (i.e., Gain: 100, LFB: 60, FX: 50). Your Logitech profiler should be set at Overall: 100, Spring: 0, Damping: 0, 10% centering (Reiza recommends 20 for the G29), and allow game adjustments checked.

Select the BMW M3 Group A and head to the Nurburgring Veedol 2020. Adjust LFB and/or Gain as needed. You can't have it all with the Logitech MOMO--but I use the recommended Reiza values stated above with my G25 and I almost never have to tweak the per-car FFB Gain whether its Reiza content or car mods (Reiza's Porsche 911 RSR 3.0 is a notable exception, as it needs more per-car Gain, as is Thunderflash's F355 Challenge, which needs much less). Once you get the centering force set, you can try out one of the Reiza Default profiles which adds various forces adjusted by the FX slider. With the MOMO, it's probably best to leave Damping at 0. It's all in Post #219 on the previous page.

 

turning up the LFB setting is crucial for the CSW 2.5. Without it, the wheel does not load up when cornering and the cars feel like they are weightless. I run LFB at almost 100 on some cars.

 

I can give you my experience with LFB. LFB should only be increased with very weak bases (1-3Nm). It causes a notch in the middle and the FFB signals are covered (well seen in the FFB graph) they lose a lot of good FFB feedback. In addition, vibrations occur from about 4Nm, which increase with stronger bases. Yes you won't have such a light wheel if you increase LFB but then you have to make compromises. In the end, your personal taste decides

 

Are the settings the same for the V1.5 cars or are they changed? I use CSL DD with boost kit

 

I would assume that if there are to be any wheel-base specific setting changes coming from Reiza, these would not be provided until when/after V1.5 arrives. That being said, given the nuanced nature of the changes made to Reiza's Custom/Default/Default+ profiles as featured in the 1.4.8.x RC, I would be surprised if huge changes were announced. Compared to previous drivetrain, tire, aerodynamic, and other physics-related changes made over the development of AMS2, which were massive and seemingly clouded the FFB issue initially, Reiza has actually been remarkably consistent in its approach to FFB for a very, very long time. Among Fanatec wheel-base software settings in particular, there doesn't even seem to be a lot of variance across models pre-V1.4 vs post-V1.4 when consulting guidance provided by either Fanatec at their forums (CSW) or Reiza in this thread.

 

I see that completely differently. For me this physics is a massive change and the same goes for the in-game and base settings. A lot has changed and you can no longer compare it with 1.3 or 1.4

 

Oh, I'm certainly not arguing against the desire for receiving additional FFB guidance for AMS2. The settings I shared were merely those previously provided by Fanatec and Reiza by each company within the official threads at their respective forums ... and I only made the comparison because that is what is currently available, at least until V1.5 (presumably) precipitates an update ... although it's arguably fair to expect revised guidance after that update is released. Who knows, Fanatec hasn't posted new settings in their forum since 2021--perhaps they remain entirely satisfied with their current recommendations!

 

Hey John! Yes, I know that Fanatec has not changed the settings since 2021. I don't think there will be anything else, I would be very surprised. I have no influence on the settings of Fanatec or Reiza, I'm just a normal simracer like everyone else. The only thing I can do is pass on my experiences and impressions to the people. Everyone can decide for themselves whether they find it good or bad and everyone should go according to their personal taste

 

Is there a recommended track-car combo that can be used to dial in the preferred FFB-settings? I like most cars in the game, but prefer the tin tops over the Formula cars.
For example: When you go round the Track of Brasilia in a BMW GT4 and tune the FFB until it feels good, you can assume that that is a solid FFB for most cars in game.

Is it possible to give such a recommendation, or are the cars too different from each other to get such a baseline?

So anybody here with a Moza R5, that can help me with some settings, I get great detail and feedback(maybe too much vibration , but It's not unbearable) and I am already faster than with my old T300.

I used a guide by Boosted Media specifically for AMS2 for the Moza App settings, but had to lower the Gain and Fx in game a lot because it felt way too heavy.

But my main struggle is how it feels when turning, feels sluggish and the vibration overpowers the other details.
I thought that's how these DD wheels felt, but I just tried F1 23 and have to say it feels better when turning, much more responsive and the resistance I get feels much more like my real car, the one I am getting in AMS2 feels more " sticky".

Any help will be appreciated!!

 

"Sticky" is mostly a sign they are using too much dampening as domagoj put it. Try to work with the dampening at the base if you set the in-game dampening to 0. But be careful, only as much damping as necessary (no more vibrations) and no "sticky" feeling. With the new physics, they need less damping

 

Thanks @Danielkart and @Domagoj Lovric , damping is at 50 in game using default profile, will start at 0 and see if that improves the feeling.

 

Hi I'm also on R5 using Daniel s V70 custom file all default in pit house in game 72 6 30 0 feels great to me you should try

 

anyone know how to get trueforce to work?
