RFactor 2 Sharing different JSON files setting

Simucube 1 Games

Hello everyone,

i will share here with you my differents tests by changing values in the JSON file of the controller folder .

This is how i start:

I was just curious to understand wich difference have in changing certain values in the .JSON file. We can read that there is differents effects that we can “send” to the wheel or to the device (pedals,shifters)
I understand at this point that, except if you have a SHIFTER or a PEDALS abble to receive “vibration” the best is to send the effect to the WHEEL
We can have a look, opening the json file (use notepad+) of your STEERING WHEEL profile, and we will see it at the line 464:

“Brake effects on steer axis”:1,
“Brake effects on steer axis#”:“0 = Brake effects on brake axis, 1 = brake effects on steering axis.”,

As you can see , i´ve decided to put the effect on the steering wheel.

Line 466 we have the possibility to define the “strength” of this effect and we tell us to use a value in between -10000 and +10000

“Brake effects strength”:10000,
“Brake effects strength#”:"-10000 to +10000, applies to all brake effects (force, vibration, static spring, etc?)",

Line 468 we have also the possibility to define the “coefficient” of the “brakes spring” using a value between -1.0 and +1.0

“Brake spring coefficient”:1.0,
“Brake spring coefficient#”:“Static spring effect rate (-1.0 to 1.0)”,

And you have the same possibilities for the CLUTCH , and the GEARBOX

Here comes my question. I have create two different JSON files. One with all the values in NEGATIVE (-10 000 and -1.0) and another with all the values in POSITIVE. Once on “the track” i didn´t notice any changes.

It will be interesting to know what am i missing.Any help is welcome.

Below is the detail of the JSON file: IN THIS CASE ALL STRENGTH VALUE ARE SET TO 10000 . EFFECTS and COEFFICIENT also set to 1
"Brake effects on steer axis":1,
“Brake effects on steer axis#”:“0 = Brake effects on brake axis, 1 = brake effects on steering axis.”,
“Brake effects strength”:10000,
“Brake effects strength#”:"-10000 to +10000, applies to all brake effects (force, vibration, static spring, etc?)",
“Brake spring coefficient”:1.0,
“Brake spring coefficient#”:“Static spring effect rate (-1.0 to 1.0)”,
“Brake spring saturation”:1.0,
“Brake spring saturation#”:“Static spring effect peak force (0.0 to 1.0)”,

“Clutch effects on steer axis”:1,
“Clutch effects on steer axis#”:“0 = Clutch effects on clutch axis, 1 = brake effects on steering axis.”,
“Clutch effects strength”:10000,
“Clutch effects strength#”:"-10000 to +10000, applies to all clutch effects (force, vibration, static spring, etc?)",
“Clutch spring coefficient”:1.0,
“Clutch spring coefficient#”:“Static spring effect rate (-1.0 to 1.0)”,
“Clutch spring saturation”:1.0,
“Clutch spring saturation#”:“Static spring effect peak force (0.0 to 1.0)”,

“Gearbox effects on steer axis”:1,
“Gearbox effects on steer axis#”:“0 = Gearbox effects on gearbox ‘axis’, 1 = brake effects on steering axis.”,
“Gearbox effects strength”:10000,
“Gearbox effects strength#”:"-10000 to +10000, applies to all gearbox effects (force, vibration, static spring, etc?)",
“Gearbox spring coefficient”:1.0,
“Gearbox spring coefficient#”:“Static spring effect rate (-1.0 to 1.0)”,
“Gearbox spring saturation”:1.0,
“Gearbox spring saturation#”:“Static spring effect peak force (0.0 to 1.0)”,

Few hours laters after few more tests:

I´ll would ike to share with you 3 different JSON files:
Osw_Phil19082018_+1: All values are set to 10000 and 1.0
Osw_Phil19082018_-1: All valued are set to -10000 and -1.0
Osw_Phil19082018_+1_02 : STRENGTH are set to -10 000 and EFFECTS / COEFFICIENTS to +1.0
Osw_Phil19082018_+1_03: STRENGTH are set to 0 and EFFECTS / COEFFICIENTS to +1.0

From this morning: it is the same file as the : Osw_Phil19082018+1_02_ , the only change is the “Brake effects strength” set on - 5000
Here is the file: Osw_Phil_Strengh_5000

Hope it will help and of course any suggestions are welcome.

This is for rFactor 2, right? Please edit the topic :slight_smile:

After few hours testing and strating to “understand” what does what on what :wink:

I think i have something not to bad

In game FFB is set to 0.73 (it´s strong but i like it)
