    I am using a custom FFB file csw 2.5 and everything has improved greatly for most car types except Go-Karts. With Kart , I no longer feed turning force, understeer effect feels harsh .
    Question is, is there a FFB file specific for karts? Also, is it possible to run more than 1 custom ffb file as extra option like default>>default+ >custom >custom2 >custom3>custom4 ? Thank you

    You can only have one custom FFB file chosen at all times, but you can use a program to make it change between two ffb files

    The Karts are still on the old FFB and physics. Probably best to wait until they get updated. At that point you can hopefully just use the same custom file and make different control sets for any necessary FFB adjustments.

    @Touc gave me this

    Since we now have a split between rally and non-rally DK files I wrote a little .bat file to let you swap without having to go through all the steps to do it manually.

    First thing you need to do is go to the AMS2 documents folder and create to folders called

    rally
    notrally

    in these you'll add the appropriate ffb_custom_settings.txt files.

    in the rally folder open the .txt file and copy the following line to paste at the top of the ffb file

    # rallyrally

    hit save and create a new .txt file

    paste this code in it and save it as a .bat file


    @echo off
    findstr /c:"rallyrally" ffb_custom_settings.txt
    if %errorlevel% neq 1 (
    copy "notrally\ffb_custom_settings.txt"
    echo msgbox "Tarmac Mode" > %tmp%\tmp.vbs
    wscript %tmp%\tmp.vbs
    del %tmp%\tmp.vbs
    ) else (
    copy "rally\ffb_custom_settings.txt"
    echo msgbox "Rally Mode" > %tmp%\tmp.vbs
    wscript %tmp%\tmp.vbs
    del %tmp%\tmp.vbs
    )


    save it in the automobolista 2 folder (not in any subfolders)

    You can name it what you like. for instance

    ffbswap.bat

    Should look like this inthedocuments/automobolista 2 folder (with all the other stuff of course)

    rally (folder)
    notrally (folder)
    ffb_custom_settings.txt
    ffbswap.bat

    when you run it, it will check for the rallyrally line, and if present, will swap to the tarmac file, and vice versa. It will also tell you what mode you have swapped to. Tarmac or Rally.

    Happy lapping.

    I tried this yesterday and it is super easy to do but how do I know it works as intended and where does it tell me which file is currently active?

    It should come up on the screen when you run the file. Otherwise just press the ffb file

    I can't say I noticed something pop up on my screen tbh. Will have to pay more attention then.
