Model notes

  • Mini can use a bit more Gain than Alpha U.
  • If straights feel buzzy, calm the base before adding more in-game damping.

Every setting in SIMAGIC SimPro Manager

What each setting does, its range and what we set for AMS2. Anything without a value, leave at default.

This brand does not publish a manual with the full settings list. Names come from their per-game guides and the community, so they may vary with the software version.

Force

Damping

Default

Resistance based on rotation speed.

Range: 0 – 100

Speed Dependent Damping

Default

Damping that scales with car speed. A Simagic speciality.

Range: 0 – 100

Mechanical Friction

Default

Adds weight to the shaft: the higher, the harder to turn.
