This is a very simple mod which does two things:

1) AMS 2 uses a soft-lock force to set your wheel's rotation to the same as the car being used. Unfortunately this force is so weak by default that it's almost impossible to detect on many wheels, especially while driving. This mod fixes that issue by making the force much stronger.

2) AMS 2 FFB includes engine vibrations by default. On some wheels these vibrations can "drown out" other subtle effects such as tyre scrub and brake locking, which are also tied to the FX slider. Disabling the engine vibrations not only helps to make these other forces more detectable, but also allows you to set the FX slider much higher without introducing a constant rattle.

There are two versions of this mod available in the download. One provides the lock-stop fix on it's own, the other combines the lock-stop fix and engine vibration removal. There are also "Old Default" and "Current Default" versions of both.


Install

Unzip the archive. Move the ffb_custom_settings.txt of your choice to My Documents\Automobilista 2, overwriting as necessary. Start the sim and chose the "Custom" FFB profile in the Controls options.


Uninstall

Delete ffb_custom_settings.txt from the above folder. A new default version will be generated the next time you start AMS 2.


Notes

This mod requires the use of the "Custom" FFB option. If you've made any changes to the custom FFB profile already, back it up before installing this mod.

Just wanted to say thanks for this the engine vibration was a pain and was drowning out everything else on my T300 no its smooth with the Fx at 60 excellent mod!!
Great on TS-PC. Thank You!
This is exactly what I've been looking for, thank you! Works great on my G923. The default and other custom FFBs had that annoying rattling in the center, that's gone now and makes the game much more enjoyable. You can really crank up FX to 100, my gain is at 86, damping and LFB on 0. Feels great for me in every car I tested.

I think G923 owners should stay away from all the G29 custom FFB files. Correct me if I'm wrong, but what I've experienced and read somewhere is that the G29 and the G923 (maybe also the G920) have a different deadzone in the center. So more FX in the center are maybe fine for G29 but not for G923. I think Logitech was trying to give the G923 a bit more FFB details but the center rattling made it feel a bit like a toy.
Wow, can't thank you enough for this. I've always thought there was something weird going on with the steering in AMS2...and this seems to have fixed that. Completely change my opinion of AMS2. If you have any other tips about improving FFB on a Logitech G920 please lmk. Thanks again
just what it says ! like it, removes engine vibration effect on dd1
This really helps out on my G29 man thanks, i am curious tho on the last post how do you increase the weight feeling on AMS2 as i too also enjoy that feeling while driving sims. Thanks!
this solves the issue with soft lock i posted in steam plus the no engine vibration allows you to up a bit more the overall or Low forces wout clipping in less powerfull rings like T300
thanks
Gr8 mod, was stuggling to get good weight on my g920 (despite maxing settings out), but this helped a bit, do you know any other ways I can increase the strength?
