@RasmusP Hello! I recently acquired a quick release and Aftermarket rim for the Logitech G27 and for my old G25 that I'm trying to kill off first. I've been using your FFB settings for a while now, but have had a question on what to do to increase the power a little bit to accommodate the heavier load on the motors?
Should I:
1. Increase the overall Strength in the Logitech Profiler? (Default 100% for me)
2. Adjust the
ff_post_process.ini Value? (I think I have it at the default right now: 0.5)
3. Increase the Gain in "CM->Assetto Corsa->Settings->Controls->FFB"? (Currently Mine is at 50%)
4. Increase the individual car FFB Value in Game with the "FFB Controller App"?
And if I should do one, two or all three of these things, what would you recommend?
(I'll include some pictures as well).
Hi,
nice rims!
Your question is a bit tricky, I'll explain what I'd do:
1. Increase the overall Strength in the Logitech Profiler? (Default 100% for me)
Don't ever do this! In the LUT there's a "ffb white noise" value for 0% ffb. It fills the little emptiness around the center and causes the slight rattling when you're standing still.
It's dialed in by trial and error. If you raise the ffb in the Logitech Profilers, this will be increased too and your wheel will start to shake and turn on its own.
I also tried if you could actually get more force out of the Logitech wheels by increasing the ffb in the profiler and sadly the answer is:
No.
I put the ingame ffb to 3000% and then raised and lowered the profiler gain.
More than 100% = not more strength, just pushing all ingame ffb into clipping (only good if the game has a too low maximum like F1 2016 for example).
Below 100% = You won't get any details back. If the game is clipping beyond 100%, the details are lost.
Conclusion: 100% in the Profiler gives you the full range of force. Never put it to anything else than 100%.
2. Adjust the ff_post_process.ini Value? (I think I have it at the default right now: 0.5)
That value is inactive. It's only for the GAMMA stuff, not for LUT.
Gamma is some kind of ffb compression so you get stronger forces at lower ffb outputs or when using more than 1.0, you'll get lower forces at low ffb outputs and then a steep raise towards the top end.
Put it to 1.0 and don't look at it hehe.
3. Increase the Gain in "CM->Assetto Corsa->Settings->Controls->FFB"? (Currently Mine is at 50%)
You can try!
My LUT actually only scales to 75% maximum so you get about 25% headroom to not cause clipping. My LUT is basically a bit like the gamma compression. Nice forces at lower ffb outputs and a bit of headroom at the top end.
However:
There's only ONE gain setting for each car where the deadzone will be completely gone and the turning will be smooth. Too low ffb gain and you'll feel a "hole", too high ffb gain and you'll feel a "notch of force" when doing a left/right chicane.
I tried to dial my LUT in so that you'll be pretty close to the optimum with the AC gain at 50% and the car specific gain at 100%.
So if you increase the gain either in the menu or in the car (same effect btw), you might get a notchy center feel.
What you'd actually need to get the impression of "more force" would be more compression.
The difference between a dubstep/edm song and a classical score isn't that the audio track can actually output more volume. It's just compression that gives the impression of being louder.
4. Increase the individual car FFB Value in Game with the "FFB Controller App"?
This would be exactly the same as 3.
I recommend to put your favourite cars to 100% and then adjust the menu gain until all these cars feel "good".
Then fine tune each car between 85-115%.
I sometimes read about people putting the gain to 30% and then having ALL cars between 150-200% so they always have to dial the car in...
Just put the menu gain to 45% then and have the cars between 100-150%.
what would you recommend?
In the end the only nice solution would be a new custom LUT that boosts lower forces while having the same deadzone-removal effect.
So a steeper raise at the beginning of the LUT while keeping the first 5 values the same.
I'll create one tomorrow for you for a first try!
