RFactor2 FFB suspension surges bumps. sc2

I’ve been deep diving the forums on this site, rd, 397 forums for a few months now and I still cant find a solution for the harsh bumps, suspension surges.

There is no ‘clear’ or ‘layman’ description in the controller.json file as to which parameter truly affects this hideous torque surge.

Am I blind? Can someone please light the way as I’m seriously losing my shit! I really want to like this game but the surges even on say 15nm sc2 @ 50% car spec ffb just kills my lines. Also it lowers the static forces too much for smaller wheel adjustments.

I’m guessing these lines of code from the .json file hold the secret.

Does anyone hold the answer?

jolt magnitude=0 and ffb curbs = -1.5 where you see 1.5

Cheers man will hopefully get some time this weekend to test out.

Thanks again for replying!

ffb curbs = -1.5 where you see 1.5- This option is nowhere to be found. Please explain?

5

should be kerbs pull factor

6

Maybe
Jolt magnitude

Found the pull setting but doesn’t help with those torque spikes on bumps.

The problem is with the curbs only.

Are the bumps on the edges of the rumble strip tied to the canned rumble strip effect or is the effect tied to either jolt or steering spring/ force? I can’t figure it out! It’s only on the edges of the rumble strips when you hit the hard raised edges. The effect coming of that is crazy harsh!

Any help from Granite Devices or Studio397 reps would also be greatly appreciated. I’ve spent many hours on this forum & Studio 397’s forum and it seems no one has an answer to this. Every other enquiry by other peeps ends up an unanswered dead end as well.

If it is unfixable then at least put us out of our misery and let us know. Then I can go back to racing instead of constant fracking tweaking.

Slew rate in the sc2 software helps but I really don’t want to have to use it so low n slow! Around the 0.50 mark is gud.
