Automobilista 2 V1.4 Force Feedback Overview & Recommendations

There are no best settings. It has to be right for you, and if it is right now, then it is right. Go according to your feeling and your personal taste

 

My suggestion for what its worth, is to try a much lower LFB, with that wheel I would think around 10, perhaps as low as 6. you should be able to feel fine differences in force changes when cornering, too much LFB will merge the fine detail. Your gain should be fine just use the per car gain to keep clipping down , FX I would start at 50 with the lower LFB, work down from that until it feels nice to you. Not grainy, and not too loose when losing traction. Damping I would be just Guessing, with the wheel base dampening at 0% It could be as much as 40% in Game, but it would probably be much less than that, just keep lowering in steps of 5 until the FFB feels sharp.

 

Thanks for the tip. Are there any cars you like to use when testing ffb settings?

 

My go to is the GT Cassic Porsche RSR at Oulton Park Classic layout. But use a car that you are likely to use, Oulton Park is a good test track because it is bumpy with fast and slow corners, if you don't like that track then just use your favorite bumpy track with a good variety of fast and slow bends.

 

Automobilista 2 September 2024 Development Update - The Road to V1.6 Pt2

Posting this link here to a guide on setting up FFB. The whole thing could really do with putting as the second post on page 1 of this thread.

 

@Danielkart Hello again, after a long break from AMS2, I'm reinstalling and kindly ask if you could share your most recent Simucube FFB Settings? I'm running a Simucube 2 Pro 25 Nm wheelbase. Thank you.

 

Hello! You can find my settings for the Simucube2 in my latest file "V6000 extreme2" in the Custom Force thread on page 427. Nice evening

Addendum: I only recommend these settings for my files. If you use defaults, these settings are not recommended

 

Hey guys anyone using a cammus c5 that can share his settings? Thanks!

 

Same question for ClubSport DD+… can someone out there recommend settings? I’m currently at Default+ with 30 FX and 30 Dampening, but somehow I still have no clue what the car is doing, especially under braking.

 

I don't have your wheel base, hopefully someone with it will reply.

My suggestion would be to add in a bit of low force boost around 3-7. You could also up the FX try 40 then 50 see which is better. Also you might try lowering damper in steps of 5.

One thing I have noticed with 1.6 there seems to be a flattening of the FFB and I am using more gain, don't be afraid to have some clipping under heavy load as long as its a quick spike.

I am finding braking to be a lot more precisely felt now.

 

Nevermind, found it

 

I like Default+ fine but my real preference is Default (with SC2 Pro). If you are missing some details, consider fine-tuning Friction / Damping / Filtering levels. I can run Recon-filter quite low in AMS2, even with FX set very high with Default ffb. Small changes to Friction or Damping can have significant impact on some details too.

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I‘m now with these settings, which work fine:

Fanatec: FFB 80, NDP 20, NFR 3, NIN 10, INT 3, FEI 80
AMS2: Default+, Gain 50, LFB 8, FX 40, Damper 0

Using Fanatec Damper instead of in-game damper makes a big difference for me.

Apart from the settings I focussed mainly on GT3s for testing. Meanwhile I tried multiple classes (LMDh, LMP2, Group A) and they all do feel much better than GT3s.

 

Edit

 

Thank you I will look into it right away…

Can you recommend a true drive profile with that or do you just make your own?

 

I tune my own, focusing on overall FFB-strength + Friction (Provide some steering weight & remove any center-notch) + Damping (Steering response speed & Stability). Once those are in a good place, I adjust Recon-Filter (for my preferred detail), and set Slew-Rate and ULL (if needed).

This method can take some time initially however, after doing it a few times, you'll gain good experience for tuning any title to your preferences very quickly & easily. IMO, the most valuable settings are the most basic ones > FFB Gain / Friction / Damping. Those settings can make or break your ffb experience and (perceived) car-handling. The rest are secondary.

 

So if i start to spin, the damper just simply goes OFF ?...then on again if i have grip ?
What about if I add damper on the base (lets say 10 damper..thats the minimum for CSW V2), and 0 in game ?

 

Damping is like adding fluid resistance to the steering wheel. It is more critical for DD-wheels so belt-drives should need little to none. If the steering feels slow or lagging behind, reduce Damping to improve response. Oversteer behavior gives us the clues.

 

Belt also need damping. I'm using damping to 50 with my csw2.5
I feel car is unstable and staggering without damping.

 

Hi @Danielkart. I use the Danielkart v6 custom for a Simagic Alpha base. Is it still suggested with the latest AMS2 v1.6 update, or is there a newer one? TY
PS. I find the current v6 has too much damping, especially turning at mid speed. This is with Damping at 0, FFB Gain at 60 / FX16. If I lower Gain, slow speeds get too light. Strength at straight speed is fine. Is there a way to lighten it a bit at the slow-speed (like when you spin or go back to track from a spin) and mid-speed. This is why I asked as perhaps there might be newer file. TY
