Thrustmaster TX FFB recommendation + mapping

[Manticora]

Hello again,

As far as i understand, there were quite a lot of change to the FFB handling in AMS2 since launch and i am not sure if the one i found with the search engine are still accurate.

Does anyone have good FFB settings to share for a Thrustmaster TX wheel ?

Regarding key mapping, are there any mandatory button that i should map on the TX wheel ?

Thanks a lot, cause i am not a Sims pro (started with ACC as stated in my previous post), and i am still struggling on what shortkey i should assign on the wheel.

Thanks :)

FFB is very subjective. The good thing is that you can pause the title while driving, adjust FFB settings, un-pause and see how it feels... pause again.. etc.. i.e. you can make FFB changes while driving so just test some things out to find what you like.

Similar as above, different people will have different suggstions. The main ones I make sure are on the wheel verses a button box:

Pit Request
Pit Limit
DRS / KERS
Look Back

Not directly on the wheel, but I do use one of the buttons on the base to open the In-Car Management menu.

Thanks!
There is no such things as DSR activation or things like this ?

For FFB you are right, but i am not really good at identifying from zero if i am in the right direction.
Let's say that a good base setup would be great for me to try to iterate .

Experiment and test. I found that FFB is a peronal thing. For me I enjoy two types of settings. 1. Adjust FFB for maximum detail which results in faster lap times 2. Adjust FFB for a brutally rough and tuff experience which results in slightly slower times but hella fun. Start experimenting man.

I have Gain 68, Force Boost 20, FX 60, Dampening 0 (not sure if dampening is actually doing something).

Imo gain and fx are the easy to set up vaules, gain is the general strength and fx scales the road effects (bumps and curbs).

Force Boost is the one you really have to toy with and figure out what suits you best.
The way I see it: The good thing about high values is that it gives you a tighter feel around the center of the wheel. The good thing about low values is that it gives me a better feel for the car in turns, it makes the FFB more readable for me and it`s easier to catch a slide.
Tbh. I`d kinda love to have both, but as it is I prefer low values.

Thanks a lot for your answers :)
Will try this out ! :)

Dampening smooths out the details. Higher the value the smoother things get.

By the way, there are DRS option to take into account in AMS2 like in F1 games ?
If yes, i assume it's only on Formula cars ?

I received my new F1 wheel from Thrustmaster so maybe i can map some more buttons ? (quite hard to identify which one are quite mandatory to be honest)

I am still strugling on where to start on this game ^^

I had a look at this, but once the file is uploaded at the right place, then in game i choose custom FFB but do i still need to enter correct value in the ingame UI or does the file overwrite all the values ?

You have to change in-game in the FFB settings from default to custom.

[Manticora]

yes, and i also need to apply the numbers, just changing from default to custom won't do everything ?

Would also like to know this aswell as ive just purchased the game and the FFB is a bit off. Also what is with selecting a wheel that is horrid and they should have just made it so it detects what ever wheel you have not have to go through a list and select a wheel as my TX wheel is not on that list at all.

Is the TX the same as the TMX? If so, I have a great setup for it, add me if you'd like so I can send you the file and settings!
