Gyro in FFB settings

Can we please promote Gyro effect to in game FFB settings tab.
Almost everyone is using it and getting into ini file to flip it back on after each update or Steam integrity check is getting a little old.

 

Any benefit using it with T300? I mostly do F1 cars and Drifting

:edit:
Just tried it, seems to just add some damping.. what's the big deal?

 

It can be an effective way to control oscillation with Direct-drive wheels.

 

id believed it was intended for DD wheels, but some time ago in one his streams stefano said he prefered it for his G27. i'm not sure why it isn't just default tbh, since TM (beltdriven) users seem to prefer it, DD wheels need it, & logitech (geardriven) also benefits. i suppose some don't like the damping, but that seems to be the minority?

 

I personally find it awful for the G27.

Same, with my T500RS. More damping, I do not need

 

im under the impression that they dont like to add things to the ingame ui. :/

 

Ingame ui? After CM was released i haven't used it....
CM has all these options

Important settings like those should find their way into the UI, always.
Stuff like enabling the free camera, or enabling dev apps. They shouldn't be hidden away in some ini file. They should be out in the open for people to experiment with

 

I'm with @liakjim, on this one. I have tried it and it worked okay, then I started getting random spins/tank slappers that I could not correct fast enough, lack of feel, washed out FFB, just mushiness. Turned it off and the wheel became far more alive, instinctive reactions were far better translated to the wheel/car. So as it is intended for Direct Drive wheels, it is not really necessary to have it in the gui. Those with direct wheels are in a small minority and as they can be rather difficult to setup correctly I'm sure they are not worried about changing an ini file to their likings. Still each to their own, some will like it other will hate it on 'normal' wheels, but that is part of the fun of racing and changing settings to your own personal preference. A Marmite setting if ever there was one.


edit: As already posted content/game managers already have this option in a nice gui form and many other really useful features like auto save replays, join servers with first available car, manage cars/tracks etc etc. So as intended the modular form of AC has been taken advantage.

 

I support this!

 

Get Content Manager you cheap goats!

I don't like gyro, like Fat-Alfie said it brings too much damping, and to me damping is a curse word.

 

Gyro? Oh yeah, the Smart-car mode!

 

Soft lock isn't in the UI settings either? I still enable it in ini and I really don't get why anybody want it disabled.

 

Softlock is MEH! it nasty and skanky dude.

 

Soft lock is also awful for the G27.
When wheel reaches lock, it will bounce back in a really unnatural way like it is electroshocked. Hardlock via custom degrees per car is the proper solution.

Or use the secret logitech shortcut buttons.



They are rough and ready but they do work if you desire such things. I stick with 1170° and know the wheels have gone too far when they don't help me turn.

edit: The control.ini from my docs/assetto corsa/cfg best to put it in the controllers/savedsetups 'YOUR NAMED'.ini as well, as it can get over written from that one.

[STEER]

AXLE=0

Guys, it is mandatory for DD wheels and beneficial for some consumer wheels.
It is not simple dampening, there is a thread about it explaining what it does and how it works.

Here it is https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/ff_experimental-enable_gyro-0.25329/

The ask is to have an option in the game menu so you can select settings to your liking, not to force it on everyone.
Road effects are awful on most wheel, yet we have them.

I liked Kunos making option for FF refresh rate, this one seem like a setting of similar kind of importance.

 

There are quite a few "alternative facts" in this thread. Your reply however, I appreciate. I've read from several people now discussing the gyro option and really not understand what they are discussing. Now to each their own in regards to if they want it off and on - the option should exist just like soft lock.

I'm so use to text editing assetto corsa ini files that I literally have 7 shortcuts for quick access. It's just silly at this point to have all these great options and hide/burry them.

Kunos makes a better product than they advertise. I have an entire document for my friends who join.. it's daunting - especially in VR - rewarding and the best sim out there in my opinion though.

 

It is a balancing act I would not like to take control over. You can go one way like with the never ending confusing PCar menu, or the AC bare bones easily understood menu, but with the ability to change more advanced options via ini files. Now you could have an 'Advanced' tab that takes you to these ini files, maybe even in a very basic text GUI (much like content manager, not saying Content Manger is basic as it is very well designed and created), but you know that a lot of people will play with those options, break the game and then you will need a dedicated task force to help them repair what they have adjusted/broken.

The ini files maybe hidden but if they are explained coherently on the forum, or can be implemented via third party launchers, then do Kunos really have to change a nice minimalist non intimidating GUI? Like I say this is a juggling act and personally the choice of how to do these things is already available and if you are looking for a solution to a problem, in AC or other soft/hardware, then it takes little time to find the resolution on a number of forums.
