It is not that the FFB itself is not realistic… it is simply the driving behaviour/physics. Absolutely no one can drift an LMP2 card 180 degrees through a corner - yet that is exactly what you can do in AMS2 (same with formula cars). Spent for almost any content in AMS2 but leave it for good now. Also 1.6 did not really improves anything except a bit more narrow tire grip window.

it’s just a game, like all other one
Hey, have you guys tried this as your settings file for custom FFB?
NAME: Rack_Force
(rack (/ arm_force M_max_force_at_rack))
(output rack)
(output (* output gain))
(histogram output)
that’s it. I ran the lotus 79 at mosport with gain of 40, no effects, damping at 3. Best feel I’ve had so far amongst all the profiles Ive tried.

I’ve almost given up on AMS2 because of the ffb so I’ll give anything a try at this point
You may have just saved AMS2 for me
I was on Kukus_rFuktor_Ultimate_Evo_v1.6.6.9 before this and was increasingly unhappy with the ffb compared to LMU, ACE, ACC, GTR2, etc. But this is brilliant. It’s just steering rack forces. I didn’t like Default or Default+ either.
There was some unintelligible forces, as well, that I was able to tune out with the notch filter somewhere around 200hz (see screenshots).
I’m also now able to reduce the Reconstruction Filter which is always a win.
Before, I was having trouble feeling like I was always on the verge of losing the backend and that meant I had a hard time catching actual oversteer or slides. Now it feels much calmer and much more natural.
So far tested on a McLaren 720S GT3 Evo (GT3 Gen 2) and a Formula Retro Gen 2.
Went back to Kukus_rFuktor_Ultimate_Evo_v1.6.6.9 with no other changes to see if it was the AMS2 or SimuCube tuner changes and while it is much quieter (having tuned out unintelligible forces before) it’s quite overdamped. I think it’s quite unnecessary to be running it when I can run the simpler custom ffb and have it just feel good right out of the box.
Areas for improvement: Tires feel a little soft, would be nice to get a stiffer feel.
Thank you!

Glad this is working for you. I run a simucube 1, I use rec 3 and no friciton/damping/intertia…at least not yet as I havent tried to change the feel. I have 5 in static force reduction. No notch. Torque bandwidth I leave unlimited.
I used RFuktor before this as well as another that I now dont recall. I couldnt go back to it after this rack based FFB. Purely subjective opinion. I also have a motion rig and bass shakers so I get feedback there that I dont need at the wheel.
I come from iRacing mainly and i enjoyed the rack forces on that sim. I also liked rFactor feel but disliked AC no matter how many times I tried even with all the modifications. So this gives you a sense of what I prefer. I am having the most fun in AMS2 especially in VR.

I used to run user-made custom ffb but, recently tried the Default (became my favorite for some time). Now I’m using the new Default+ ffb and loving it. The FFB matches my motion FX really well and everything feels very in sync. AMS2 ffb across most cars seems to be stable in regard to the amount of in-game Damping, I no longer need to make adjustments per car.

Most of my problem seems to have been the unintelligible forces around 200hz
Once I took those out with the notch filter even Default and Default+ feels decent

Cheers - This felt great for me too.
I added a section to enable bump stops & attached it here…
