UPDATED: leo bodnar simsteering : .Json (controller file) may help OSW users too

Mate I had a look at the different options you had in the jason files and wow I can't imagine what planet you're on. I too have a Bodnar AKM54 so I'm aware of what sort of settings suit the Simsteering wheel best. You have made a big mistake in my opinion by changing things like Saturation etc. If you really want a rubbery feel dont go and dilute the FFB signal by in effect adding canned forces to it. Just add sonme damping in your wheel software! Job done. I hope other DD wheel users see this post!

 

Hey Supa, could you please share your settings for bodnar/in game?
I also got a simsteering v2 54

 

Hey mate. Just use the one they have now for the Bodnar in the preset controller files they have called simsteering. Just load this up when ingame and then leave game and should now be a controller file in Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData\player. Open this up with notepad and paste where it fits as its also got correct setup for auto rotation. Also, heres my configuration file. I use the old .04 version as the new V1.1 had issues....auto rotation didnt work correctly and it stuffed up rotation in Automobilista as well as RF2! Can't have that!! For best feeling FFB always set wheel strength 'all effects scale' to 100 and just reduce ingame. As an example I use around 0.4 in multiplier with the GT3 and GTE cars. or you could leave it at 1.0 if you feeling strong! You will need gloves now though as you'll get callouses otherwise hehe!

Hope you're enjoying using that wheel!!!

Thanks man. Will give it a shot
How come you use no dampening / inertia/ friction in wheel driver?

 

Can you guys help? My wheel shows fine in the menu's but when I go to track it does as in the video below. Any ideas?

Thank you

 

Hi can you pass on your rf2 settings as i also have a accuforce, version 2 would be much appreciated. json , in game ect..
