VR sim setup

[Johnsmith1234588]

Hi,

I recently upgraded my PC to be able to handle Assetto Corsa in VR (planning on playing Automobilista 2 as well).
However, it feels like I am playing a video game, not driving a realistic simulator.
The steering is too light and has to little feel. I was using a converter on my cable and lost feedback every 10 minutes.
So I bought the American plug in and the steering is lighter but it doesn't cut out (same specs).
Using a Thrustmaster TS-XW Sparco wheel. I will upgrade eventually because it has been disappointing so far.

So my question is: Which programs do you guys use to manage force feedback, and make the experience more realistic overall?
I want it to be very heavy and with a lot of feedback.

I have read LUT generator, FFB clipp app, content manager and some other stuff, so I am not sure which one, or if I should use all of them.
Any info is good info, appreciate it!

There’s only so much a belt style wheel can do. If you want something extreme then you should have gone with a direct drive wheel.

But sounds like your settings are off somewhere. I’d start with the thrustmaster application. Lots of guides on how to setup the T300 and T500 wheels, pretty sure your TS is similar to one of the 2...

Have a look at this, it's for lower-end wheelbases but the apps are explained here, you will just have to adjust the forces to your wheelbase:

I switched to AMS because it is way more fun, but I have a new issue.
Every time I turn in pretty hard, I lose feedback and there is virtually no feeling left. I used my Thrustmaster wheel for months on AMS 1 but never had any issues.

Is it because the FFB or gain is too aggressive? I'm using the standard settings. 75% gain etc.
The guide you linked doesn't cover AMS2 setup.

Thanks

Then maybe you should head over to the AMS2 forums for help?
