Hello I just watched a YT video of someone showing there settings. This video is some years old (5 Years old) But in this video, it showing his Controller.JSON: And this is my Controller.JSON: And I have highlighted the only line that is the same as in the video. I now wonder, what is the best or the right file to use? The 5 years old YT video file or my default file that is new. Could anyone step in here and explain this lines, what is right and wrong, and what they do and what I should have for numbers in my file for my Simucube 2 Pro unit. Thanks

We both have this in our code "Steering effects strength":-10000, (a negative number here) But on the rest we both have "Brake effects strength":10000, "Clutch effects strength":10000, "DI Steering effects strength":10000, "Gearbox effects strength":10000, "Steering effects strength":-10000, "Throttle effects strength":10000, But in this video it was all negative numbers, and if we both have negative numbers at Steering effects strength should we not have that on the rest to? Like in the video? What is the difference? what does the negative and positive do?
it seems to me....for example Négative for simucube Positive for fanatec some parameters are no longer used on rf2 they are residuals of rf1
Code: "Force Feedback":{ "Steering torque capability":18, "Steering torque capability#":"The maximum torque capability of the wheel (in Nm, obviously)", }, Just to be sure. Your base unit is 18 Nm, right? So in your True Drive you got 18 Nm? Code: "Force Feedback":{ "Steering torque filter":0, }, And in game you got 0 Smoothing ? Can you share the rest of your True Drive settings? or make it public so I can see and test this with your controller.JSON file.
Most/all of those effects aren't active. Look at your "***** effects on steering axis" lines - nearly all will be 0, meaning those are never sent to your wheel. Most won't do anything even if you set them to 1.
I'm currently driving the GT3 Porsche and find that the braking vibrates excessively, my Force feedback setting is... "Brake effects on steer axis":0, "Brake effects on steer axis#":"0 = Brake effects on brake axis, 1 = brake effects on steering axis." Set to 0 it still shakes a lot, anyone have a fix for this? SS
That doesn't help because it's not a brake effect. It's just FFB you're getting when braking. Why's it shaking? Tyres locking up and slipping/gripping? Too much ABS kicking in? Try to reduce how much you brake. Check FFB levels, use or avoid clipping (whichever helps).
Thanks for the info Lazza. It's fine with most of the other GT3 cars with the same settings, just the Porsche that does it that I know of. I've turned down my FFB for our series from 70% to 35% to make it driveable. It does the same with the CSL DD wheel base aswell with the guys in our group. SS
