Reducing curbs ffb?

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering if there is any way to reduce the ffb vibrations coming from the curbs?

I live on a second floor and although I made significant improvements to my rig recently (thanks to nice people from this forum), these vibrations are really too strong and making it impossible for me to drive during evenings (the only time I have to drive).

The feedback from the road itself is nothing compared to what the curbs are producing, so lowering the force feedback makes it very hard to feel the road feedback. I'm using a CSWv2 and I always calculate the ffb gain with the ffb clip app.

Any help is welcome!

 

Do you have kerb effects on?


Other than setting that to 0, and lowering gain, I don't think there is a way to reduce it. Perhaps you'll have to avoid the kerbs.

Perhaps someone else knows something.

 

Same problem, G27. My thread https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/ffb-rattle-g27.30758/

 

Here's something that is used often for drums. Even if you have electric drums, the bass drum pedal can cause too much vibrations/noice for buildings that aren't very good with noise isolation.
What you need is tennis balls and some plywood. There is variety of ways you can produce such platform, but here are couple really easy and cheap ways to make a good looking solution that works wonders with a sim rig to isolate those vibrations from the floor.


If your wheel is making the rattle (like G25/27 gear driven noise makers), well that's not healthy for the wheel either, so someone else can help with that.

 

I replied to your thread, it's exactly what I'm experiencing. Let's hope it gets some attention.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I dont want to turn this thread into a vibration isolation techniques. For suggestions on that matter, please refer to this thread

 

So you are after something like a Night mode, I know a few people that could do with something that keeps the FFB but removes the noisy curbs. Maybe if you are persistent Lord Kunos might make a button/night mode to remove the louder parts of the FFB. Good luck.

 

lol it won't even cross my mind.. FF gain can be adjusted at various levels between game and drivers, filters and whatnot... it's simply ridiculous to expect more.

 

Is Filter still safe to use or has different effects than in the past? I'm asking because there were changes with dampening but idk if with filter as well. Does Filter only make ffb smoother or alters anything else? For me is also pretty rough when going over 3d kerbs with the G27.

 

Is there a Fanatec equivalent for this Filter thing? I'm not aware of anything like that for CSWs. I can always fiddle with on wheel menu settings, but then the road ffb will be affected as well.

 

G27's are built in such a way that it makes a lot of noise over certain kerbs, there is no solution to that other than damping. But you obviously dont want to use so much damping your FFB becomes borderline useless...

For the more expensive wheels, I dont actually know how to reduce it. All I can say is, kerbs in AC are already a bit softer compared to rF2. Maybe if someone has both games and the same wheel he could test it for you.

 

Turn ffb kurb effects lower i have it on like 20% in options . can't stand it

 

Increase filter. The filter is a low pass filter which means that the higher your setting the more it cuts the high frequency stuff out. Kerbs and road noise are high frequency so those are cut first. But if you put the filter too high it starts to cut off important parts of the ffb. Like caster, weight movement of the car and self aligning torque. You know you have gone too far if your wheel wants to keep rotating after you have centered your wheel on corner exit.

 

All effects are off already. Its just that the difference between road feedback and curbs feedback is so huge. I was just wondering if there was a way to tame this feedback via ini files or within CSWv2 settings/drivers.

 

I will try that, thanks a bunch for the explanation, I didnt know about that setting.

 

Filter definitely helps, I cranked it up to 80% and it cuts the curbs nasty vibrations but does not alter the feedback from the road too much. At least with the Elise S at Silverstone. Thanks for the suggestion!

 

80%!

Could you maybe share rest of your ffb settings?

 

Gain: 100% (tuned down with the in game setting)
Filter: 80% (0 normally, only using this to reduce the curbs vibration at night)
Min force: 2%

All effects: off
Enhance understeer: unchecked

Fanatec control panel settings: 900 deg and 100 damper

On wheel settings: Sen: auto, FF: 100, Sho: 100, For: 100, Dri: 3, Abs: off, Dmp: off.

Its working great to reduce peak vibrations, and from my short testing, it doesn't alter road/weight transfer feedback too much. Its better with filter at 0 of course, but this will help for late nights

 

Do you feel understeer with this unchecked dude?

 

Yes I do. Steering feels light when locking the fronts and when they starts gripping again, the steering becomes heavier again as the tyre load is building up. I never tried that setting though, I guess I never felt the need to!
