you need to also set steering range into json to 1440, otherwise you won’t have auto lock.
@Loukas_Bourdas - thanks for that, I’ll check my settings. I would probably have skipped over that announcement back in the day.
Right, on to the next noob question…
I’m running @SuperMonaco_GP’s profile just now in TD. As I’ve said (I think) before, I most drive historics such as the Howstons, 917k etc. and these don’t tend to generate huge FFB loads in cornering.
Consequently, I have been running the max torque and in-game FFB quite high to maximise general feel - but a consequence of this is that ‘spiky’ forces (e.g. certain kerbs, the cobbled section at Rouen-les-Essarts etc.) can be overwhelming and feel disproportionately strong.
I know there are JSON entries for kerb effects, running off track etc. - (seems like a daft question when I spell it out, but…) should I be looking there first rather than touching TD, knocking them down a bit?
…it’s just that I know you can set the shape (sine, sawtooth etc.) of the effects in the JSON and also noticed specific filters for sine etc. in TD advanced settings…
Thanks once again.
I never use more than 0.45x on the ffb multiplier, with some cars even lower. whenever I start a new car, I always set the multiplier to 0.50 as starting point before the 1st drive.
if set near to 1.00, spykes and overall ffb forces would be way too hard.
so my advice is try to lower the multiplier to 0.50 and then move it from here.

I’m a newbie here as well, and unfortunately i can’t decipher @SuperMonaco_GP .ini file. Is there a way to make this file slightly more “idiot proof” and easier to understand for me please?
I apologize for being rather useless at this kind of thing guys
hi, the only thing you should do with the .ini file is adapt the wheel force value to your base (17 for sport, 25 pro and 32 ultimate). dor and other stuff are already set into the file, you don’t need to edit except for that value above. (dor into the file matches the one in the TD profile I shared, if you want you can edit the value but keep in mind .ini and TD dor must always match - and don’t go lower than 900).
paste the file it into rf2/user data/controller and then once ingame load the file and map your inputs, that’s it.

Don’t forget that Device names also have to change in the ini according to their base.
“Device Name 1”:“SimuCUBE 2 Sport=#16d00d61”,
“Device Name 1”:“SimuCUBE 2 Pro=#16d00d60”,
“Device Name 1”:“SimuCUBE 2 Ultimate=#16d00d5f”,

thank you kindly sir, imported your settings in the TD’s import feature and adjusted the force value for my PRO and wow the difference to what i was using is absolute night and day 
Wonderful settings especially when you tinker with your aforementioned FFB multiplier, i find it most comfortable between the 0.40 to 0.50 region

Hi, where is the [rF2_2020.09.05_18.15.ini.txt] located in the rfactory2 folder?
rfactor2/userdata/controller
And it will load the Jason file and that ini file at the same time?
no, you need to put the file into the controller folder and then load it once ingame, if not the file won’t be used. the ini file is the TD profile, you have to import it into TD.
keep in mind dor in the file are at 1440, so TD must be also set to 1440. you can edit the value as you like tho.

new rF2 TD profile (SC2 Sport)
rF2 -test-_2020.09.29_16.48.ini.txt (880 Bytes)
note : I changed dor to 900° - before it was 1440° - so the value should be changed accordingly into the .json file. as always, I suggest to set ingame ffb multiplier not higher than 50/55 depending on the car.

Just wanted to share that i’ve testing with reconstruction filter 6 and car specific FFB mult. to 0.15-0.20 and this seems to be a very good ground and probably the best feeling so far (for me). Rest is same as before.
Cheers.

Holy crap I have been trying to get the wheel rotation to match the screen for a couple of hours now and no luck. I have followed all of the directions here. json files are correct, made the changes when everything was closed, even the a launcher. Pulling my hair out. rF2 drives me freaking crazy with this kind of stuff haha.
upload your json to check

Good afternoon all,
I’m new to DD wheels, but I’ve been reading a lot of this forum and experimenting a bit. Using the default TD profile and the controller JSON profiles documented on this thread I am finding a really good FFB from rf2 as-is. Though that might not be very representative.
What I would like to check with @SuperMonaco_GP is whether the tweak of scaling steering torque capacity to 1/10 still applies or is still required on an up-to-date rf2?
I’m on a SC2 pro, so I’d check with 2.5 instead of 1.7. Also should these changes be applied to the player’s controller.json file (I reckon so)?
Cheers, Pedro.

hi, the scaling of 1/10 was an attempt to tame rf2 ffb with the td profile i was using when I suggested it, but after that I changed td profile and returned to the standard value of wheel force (or whatever it’s called) in the json file. so I am not using it anymore in my latest file.
Many thanks, that makes sense.

Has anyone recently had problems with FFB ‘Centre resets’ mid race?
I was racing online last night - probably close to 90 minutes or more in total using a car/track combination that needs a lot of use of the kerbs.
Probably 5 or 6 times, after bouncing across kerbs heavily, the FFB added a fairly strong pull (to the right, I think) while subsequently trying to maintain a straight course back on track. There was no car damage, before you ask - and a quick press of the in+game ‘FFB reset’ mappable control restored order.
I have had this once or twice before in the few weeks I’ve had my Pro but never with the frequency of last night.
FWIW, I had updated TD and firmware to the latest versions immediately before the race…
