DiRT Rally FFB FIXED!!

Msportdan · Apr 28, 2015

FFb FIXED !!!!!! Brilliant FFB RBR now can officially move over!!!

alter following values - change "pad" to wheel seems cm forgot to change the values..

into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DiRT Rally\forcefeedback\effectsetup.xml in word pad.

UPDATE

FIXES THE PULL TO THE RIGHT SOME WHEELS DO (thx RD user)

copy and paste below line......

Dan,

You need to read my post carefully, .. I'm using the Dirt 3 effectsetup.xml file, .. NOT the Dirt Rally file, .. nor yours.

The Dirt 3 effectsetup.xml file does NOT contain this line .. :-

<FFBEffectSelfAligningTorque device="wheel" scale="1.0"/> ,

.. which is why I copied it from the original Dirt Rally xml file.

Cheers
Tom

ooppss sorry my bad bit tired this morning.

good work..

Im sure there was a small update last nite that fixed the FOV in cockpit. (actually works now)

jimortality · Apr 29, 2015

You people certainly know how to confuse me, which settings work and which don't? Dan is your op still the one?

hurricaneman · Apr 29, 2015

I want to feel the jumps like in Dirt 3 Do I copy the Dirt 3 effects file or Dan's file?
Thank you!

Msportdan · Apr 29, 2015

on the steam forums this is getting a lot of positive feedback. Im confused too, because it didnt work for me last nite. When you use the equal suspension values (to stop the pulling right feel) the ffb again dissappears. So i need to look tonight.

ok cheers.. looks the same by eye. may need a re-paste or verify.-

Msportdan · Apr 29, 2015

maybe wait..
according to dev on steam

Known issues we're working on

Error 41 - We're looking into this one, and will update as soon as I have more info. As it is something we need to discuss with Valve.
dirtgame.com not loading - this seems to be an issue with Firefox users, we're looking into it but for now any other browser should work.
FFB - The team are looking at your feedback on this now and we'll have some setting for you to try out later today.

Phil Davies · Apr 29, 2015

What baffles me is,
Did no one at Codemasters test the product before release? or can't they afford a wheel with force feedback

.How did they not realise one of the key components of a sim was missing?

Hi,

If you have Dirt 3, .. copy it's effectsetup.xml into Dirt Rally.

Works much better than the default one. Plenty of effects at the center.

I did have to add this line, .. to the beginning of the file, as it felt like there was no proper centering.

<FFBEffectSelfAligningTorque device="wheel" scale="1.0"/>

.. you can increase to suit, .. I currently have it at 1.5.

There may be a setting or settings to sort this out in the Dirt 3 Effects file, .. but I really didn't feel like tweaking, .. until the cows come home.

Lots of effects, .. including the gear shift, .. which you may have to tweak down.

Cheers
Tom

Hi Tom, this works wonderfully. I had VCorp mode installed which enchances FFB, and modded with that one line file works wonder on Dirt Rally. Try it, truly feels like new game. Just remove .txt extension, had to add it due to attachment filter.

Msportdan · Apr 29, 2015

Andrew

i tried this.. yeah it works and its strong but felt like it came from an arcade game,. everything was exaggerated like the gear shift and wheelspin. Had to have the strength real low.

I don't think using FFB from another game is a great idea.

Nice try vo..

Thanks, just tried it. Could be me or my wheel (T300RS) but I greatly preffered ffb effects from VCORP modded Dirt3.
Coming from AC I like my ffb more "palpable". Shifts are quite exaggerated, here I agree, need to look at the file to which value to lower.

Deleted member 197115 · Apr 29, 2015

On shifts. There is a section for each shift, scale is 0.5, lower to your liking, I've found 0.35 working the best for me, more civilized but still noticeable.

Code:

  <!-- Gear change vibrations
     scale= effect scale
      gear= gear when effect should be played, if -1 all gears
      freq= saple waweform repetition rate in Hz
    length= sample length

heres a tweaked xml for any thrustmaster owners out there, utilizing the stronger belt on suspension and collisions, so it doesnt snap your wrist!

set the ingame vibration settings to 100/100/100
steering saturation to 75 linearity 0

gonna go out on a limb here and say...

im actually impressed with the ffb now... if they just sort the handling on the surfaces better.. the ffb in there deep has something good to offer.
