Assetto Corsa Competizione and Simucube 2

I love the SC2 for ACC. Spent the 1st week crying as it felt totally different to my old Accuforce setup but once I got my head around the fact the setups of each car can dramatically effect the FFB and what does what in the true drive software I absolutely love it. Arms and chest fell like I’ve been to the gym every day for the last couple of months but well worth it

FYI, there is a new hotfix out with improvements. Aris btw will make a dedicated post about this but essentially what this is is vibrations from the suspension being transmitted, not “wonky wheel support”.

Certain cars’ suspension geometry tend to transmit certain vibrations that together with the feedback from the road surface can cause this sort of unwanted effect in the wheel, but even if it persists, you should be able to mitigate this by softening certain suspension elements. 1 or 2 clicks of front damping already fixed it for me even before the hotfix.

@pankykapus your presence in this thread is a blessing. thank you very much :slight_smile:

And forwarding a message from Aristotelis from our forums, might clear up some things. :slight_smile:

Some circuits asphalts have more roughness than others, Spa for example (you go to Paul Ricard and there’s none). This translates into the tyre flex, suspension flex, chassis flex and ends up in the steering wheel forces as vibrations of various frequencies, lengths etc. . Those forces and vibrations get send to the FFB Steering wheel motor. This is what you feel. Every steering wheel is different and translates those vibrations in a different frequency and force. Everyone of us is different and different vibrations and noises may or may not disturb us.

In reality, a big amount of joints and different materials in a real cars mechanics dampen down such vibrations and if it’s not, all it takes is a different piece of rubber somewhere and it is “fixed”. Sometimes drivers will also get a “it’s ok, deal with it” answer and that’s it.

In simracing you can either lower the gain or apply some kind of damping but both solutions are generic and might dampen down all the other vibrations that you like to feel. So I understand why some people might hear a vibrating noise or tiny ffb vibration in their normal, or even worse, high-end steering wheel and make it a big deal out of it… because it is a big deal for them and their investment.
*We tried to mitigate the problem and find a different and better compromise. There is no definitive solution but I believe there’s improvement.
It is also not a bug, but a hint for you to know when you’re maybe exaggerating with front bump damping… it’s not a bug, it’s a feature! LOL
Seriously though, try lowering front bump dampers and it should go away. Remember, the vibration is not really affecting badly the handling of the car, but it does affect your perception so it’s better to not have it, right?

I understand what you are saying. if it is down to what you say then why would the vibration / buzz be exactly the same when driving very slow or very fast surly it would change with speed .

Since hotfix update all things back to normal Porsche feels great .
Thanks to all concerned :grinning:

Well this was embarrassing…

Got it sorted tho …

That was a good test for SC2 resolving power.
If Podium did not show that vibration, it must be missing lots of details.
And thanks to Kunos team for a quick resolution, you guys are the best!
Now if you only start catering for the other minority that is using VR… :slight_smile:

I take back all my rants from the previous days, and I will go confess for have sinned in thinking about changing my sc2…lesson learned

if only we could have this kind of communication with all sims devs…

Prety bad of the community that as soon as something not quiet right happens so many people instantly spit the dummy, this took what? 2 days to resolve?

How many posts crucified both GD and Kunos in that time?

The podium is quite heavy in damping, yes, I guess it’s deliberate to put them on the safe side in such situations.

Kunos desperately need SC2 in the office.
Like a recording studio you need high resolving headphones to produce the right mix.

May be GD can work out some deal with you.

And if not, update your Argon, I guarantee, you will smile more.

Looks like you have tried to compensate extra road effects that should be just turned off with all that extra dampening and filtering.
But, everyone has own philosophy on how to make it work.

have you tried brake gamma at 1.00 ?

No, it’s old t500rs values. But it works fine, high pressure on pedal. Why you ask this?

because with your loadcell pedal getting it to be linear should feel better.

I will try, just bought it 1 week ago

I am having problems having curb vibration being way too weak. Almost to the point its almost non-existent. Is this just game itself? I know he data should be there being that my motion rig registers it.
