Assetto Corsa and SimuCUBE

Hi am using filter=1 with lenze and i feel no spikes in assetto. It is smooth and feels good. I think that the ideal setting is defferent servo by servo

For me the RF is quiet linear in the feel from 1 to 8. The more I increase RF, the more the rubber feels soft, especially on kerbs. I would say that 1 feets very well the race cars (stiff) and 8 the production cars (soft).

My reference is the Porsche 911 2017 RSR, on RF1 the tyrewear results in a too bumpy feeling after a few laps, also for these types of cars I prefer RF8. More subtle and feels a but more realistic to me, but I donā€™t drive one in real life so would like some thoughts of someone who does.

For me this was the salvation of AC with my DD :grin: I use a lot AC since the early acess and like you said ā€œAC has gone from an irritatingā€¦ā€ to a pleasent experience again after 1 year with DD. Thanks a lot for sharing, at least one you salved manashttu :sunglasses:

Thank you manashttu and Cyril.

Itā€™s been a long time since my FFB has felt like this, I followed LAR555ā€™s tips and so on, but somewhere along the line I lost this magical feel of the drifting line. With these settings I can feel it again, perhaps because even if I had gyro enabled it didnā€™t do anything with dampening off.
Steering is very heavy when parked, but thatā€™s a trade off Iā€™m willing to make.
itā€™s also heavier on some cars, especially on the e30 that was extremely light before is now quite a bit heavy on the same settings. It also feel/seem smoother when rotating, not as erratic or maybe itā€™s slower, unless thatā€™s a placebo.

Hello, long time no see :slight_smile:

Been very busy with business but I have made some nice changes to AC feedback with the latest simucube version :slight_smile:

First, recon 8 for me is just a killer of tire understeer information and I cannot be racing If I cannot feel the tire.

I have moved recon filter from 1 to 2 and balanced weight of the wheel with some dampening and friction.

System/CFG min damping set to 0.15 since 0.2 was a bit to heavy :slight_smile: You can all experiment with this.

FF_post_process changed gamma from 1 to 0.5. Feels nicer and wheel seems to be tighter.

As always if you have any urgent questions hit me on Facebook - LAR555

Hi,
Thanks for the update. Please excuse my ignorance, but, I still donā€™t understand the gamma settings.
You indicate that ā€œgamma enableā€ is set to 0. I would think that gamma is NOT enabled. Yet you have the gamma value set to 0.50. I am very confusedā€¦lol. Any advise or education would be appreciated.

Im not able to give you straight and simple answer because I dont know how it works myselfā€¦ Iā€™ve just spent thousands of hours on osw with AC and tried changing everything :slight_smile:

Hey @LAR555, do you know why you have to set 0.3 of friction in IONI? Or you just put it and felt ok and you donā€™t know why?

I see in your CFG file, Damper Gain is set to 0 instead default 1, did the test with 1? If yes what changed? Gamma of 0.88 felt good to me but beyond that changed the cars characteristic too much to me. I can give it a try to see how if feels to me tho.

What are your ingame settings (gain, filter, road, slip, etc)?
Thx

@dpj463 he mentions 2 different parameters that does different things.
Gamma is a Post_Process FF and it makes your wheel has a tighter center, you can even feel more of the road surface if you decrese the number from 1.0 to 0.88 or even lower.

The other Gain parameter is regarding to Gyro function if Iā€™m not mistaken and adds weight to the wheel and seems to bring you some more oversteer cues too. I just donā€™t know if Min Damping has to do with Damping Gain, if they have to do with eachother then thereā€™s no reason for use 0.15 of min damping but if they are not related, then I will have to test Damper Gain at 0 and see how it feels.

Gamma is nothing more then a linearity setting. 0 is linear,

Having a blast with the latest settings! One question remains for me though: is there any way to get a heavy wheel feeling when standing still? Iā€™ve searched, but couldnā€™t find anything conclusive, Iā€™ve tried raising ā€˜DirectInput Effects -> Dampeningā€™ but nothing happens, Iā€™ve tried raising ā€˜Experimental -> Damper Gainā€™ in AC CM to 100%ā€¦ Is it true that AC Dampening only works until 3km/h? I still donā€™t understand how all this works and how to get wheel friction when standing stillā€¦ Any help appreciated!

That made it work for me.

Great! What are your settings in CM for Damper Gain? Minimum Damper Level? Gamma?

ff_post_process.ini
[HEADER]
VERSION=1
TYPE=GAMMA
ENABLED=1

[GAMMA]
VALUE=0.5

controls.ini
[STEER]
JOY=4
AXLE=0
SCALE=1
LOCK=1180
FF_GAIN=1
FILTER_FF=0
FF_DAMPER=0
STEER_GAMMA=1
STEER_FILTER=0
SPEED_SENSITIVITY=0
DEBOUNCING_MS=50

Also, does dampening in AC have any effect after passing a speed of 3km/h? Will it negatively effect details while driving?

Normally only the dampening work under 3km/h. That speed can be changed in a setting file.

Thanks! Those settings do work for me! Iā€™ll try to pinpoint what made it work :slight_smile: Thanks for your help!

I also use:

assetto_corsa.ini
[FF_EXPERIMENTAL]
ENABLE_GYRO=1
DAMPER_MIN_LEVEL=0
DAMPER_GAIN=1

[LOW_SPEED_FF]
SPEED_KMH=3
MIN_VALUE=0.01

I would just like to get some additional clarification about the small vs. big MIGE comparability of settings. It was suggested that 18A (big MIGE) correspond to the 20nm produced by the small MIGE. How does that compare to the Excel spreadsheet that was shared earlier? Having 12.86A in the yellow input field ā€œGranity MMC (amperage) Settingā€ translates to 20nm (small MIGE) vs. 14.37nm (large MIGE).

EDIT: If you believed the XLS, the ratio of the ā€œServo Torque Constantsā€ would be 2.2/1.58=1.3924. With that, 12.00A/19nm (small MIGE) would correspond to 16.71A/19nm (big MIGE) and 12.86A/20nm would correspond to 17.91A/20nm. Do I do the math correctly?

Also, what does the ā€œiRacing Force Strength Slider Settingā€ do and how does that help when looking at AC? Also, what does ā€œSpecific Output Ratio ( .xxx:1 )ā€ do and is this a calculation variable or does it need to be set somewhere in the config?

Thanks.
