Jack Spade - FFB Tweaker Files

[Lars Rosenquist]

Hi there...Is there a way to use these tweaks on a PS4?

Yes, by reading the XML file and entering the values by hand. A bit cumbersome, but doable. I'm pretty sure some of us will come up with a more readable format in the future.

Hi

I am not speak english so well buy try.

I want to know how can I set the configuration of forces and efects of Project Cars for FEEL STRONGER THE VIBRATION AND FEEL THE SESATION OF THE KERBS on my Tx 458 Italy Thrustmaster Wheel.

I have Tx with Clubsport V2 pedals Fanatec and TH8A Thrustmaster working like a HandBrake.

My Pc have i7 4790K
Board Gigabyte Z97 MX GAMING 5
Hard Disk 1TB
DDR3 16GB 1600MHZ
NVIDIA EVGA 970 GTX 4GB SC

Look my settings:

MY Tx.

Tx, CSV2 and TH8A

I was setting the configuration like this:

Force Feedback.....40 because I dont want that the wheel forces me to the center o 0 grades....look:

Th configuration of FFB:

And for example, a configuration with a car:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile.../?id=440127018

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile.../?id=440127193

With all these settings I dont happy with the sensation on my Tx about de efects of the KERBS, the VIBRATION is nice but I want more.

I need to know how a put more sensation for the KERBS on the Tx and more VIBRATION of the efects.

The levels and efects that I set is well o I made a mistake???


Please, help me, it is possible in Spanish will better.

Thanks a lot

Nice to meet you.

try these settings dave, just follow the instructions & drop the FFB folder in your my documents/pcars folder. there is very good curb feel, at least with the pack im using (the SoP one)

I´ve been asked by WMD members to post my FFB Tweaker Files here in this new forum too..... here they are

What is it?

It´s a text file (xml) containing the same parameters you find on the individual Car Setup FFB Pages. Once the tweaker files are activated the
game ignores just the FFB settings on these pages. There is an optimized individual file for each and every car.

In pCARS FFB is directly derivated from the individual car/tire physics hence universal, so the files will work on any type of wheel.
It´s the core of FFB, if something is out of tune here it can´t be corrected by the wheel preset parameters later down the line, this is the most
important part of FFB tuning. BTW the SMS guys did a great job developing the car and tire physics and all other stuff for this game.

This FFB system enables you to tune all important physical forces that occur. It´s a great system, but there are a few traps or oddities that
must be considered. As a long-time WMD member I constantly followed game development and adjusted the files accordingly numerous times,
so learning about the stuff and how to make it really work well despite the traps and oddities probably most of you are unaware of.

How do I use the files?

The posting contains 2 different sets of files - Standard and Fy+Soplateral Mix
Inside a folder called "FFB". This folder must go in > My Documents/Project CARS .....Note, only one FFB folder at a time.

The tweaker files get activated by just starting the game. - Again, the car FFB setup pages are ignored. You can deactivate the files by renaming
the FFB folder.

What´s the difference between the sets?

1. Standard - classic parameters Fx,Mz,Fy,Fz - but additional SopDiff. bumps/kerbs/road feel from the rear tires, solves phase issues.

2. Fy+SopLateral Mix - side load mix (front/rear) 2/3 + 1/3 by forces not by numbers. FFB feels slightly different but gives more feel what the
rear of the car is doing, all other parameters as Standard.

Note: I prefer the latter.

In combo with the following global FFB settings, the files are designed to transmit an optimized FFB signal of the individual car to the wheel
avoiding FFB clipping to a great extend. There still is some clipping when you hold the wheel at 45-90 degrees turning angle and drive on high
kerbs. In this case strong forces occur at the same time causing the bumps/kerbs signals to clip slightly, but still acceptable.
What you see on the FFB monitor is transmitted to the wheel. I don´t recommend to increase Tire Force cause FFB signals are already close to
the limit.

Global FFB settings: FFB = 100, Tire Force = 100 -> Very important, FFB ALWAYS at 100 any wheel!

Force Feedback Calibration Page:

Relative Adjust Gain 1.10 (1.00 okay also)
Relative Adjust Bleed 0.10
Relative Adjust Clamp 0.95

Deadzone Removal Range: is wheel depending....as a CSW v2 user I have it at 0.

CSW v2 users who like it really clean without force loss try this: Tire Force = 70, FOR = 140

The files are PC only, but the parameter values can be converted for all platforms - multiplicator 100

Lykan Hypersport added to complete the list, no other changes.

Nice job - thanks

[unknwn]

Second set is very good. Thanks.
However one question. Why the Lock spring is disabled?

[TrevorAustin]

Absolutely transformed the feel of the game, like a different game!

[townnet]

I never drive a formula car in real life, so don't know how it feel in handling...I had try formula A in game with sop pack, feel the wheel much light than GT3 car, is that right?

[nhraracer]

Nice job on the ffb files as usual.

[GTsimms]

Working good with CSR with stock setting expect as posted above
Relative Adjust Gain 1.10 (1.00 okay also)
Relative Adjust Bleed 0.10
Relative Adjust Clamp 0.95

idk about irl either, but in sims yes, usually formula cars are much lighter steering. be careful tho bc if you make it heavier at high speed you might end up with a lot of clipping.
