Model notes

  • Let the base do the smoothing; avoid stacking too much damping.
  • Best tuned with clipping overlay visible for each car class.

Basic

Max Strength

For AMS240 – 60%

Maximum torque that can result from the simulator FFB signal.

Range: Nm

Steering Range

For AMS2900

Rotation from full left to full right.

Range: grados

Bumpstop Feel

For AMS2Soft

How the rotation limits feel.

Range: Soft … Hard

Bumpstop Range

Default

Where the software bumpstops start.

Range: grados

Mechanical feel

Damping

For AMS28 – 10%

Resistive force proportional to rotation speed.

Range: 0 – 100%

Friction

For AMS22 – 8%

Constant resistive force regardless of rotation speed.

Range: 0 – 100%

Inertia

For AMS20 – 10%

Gives the rim weight: harder to start turning, keeps turning longer.

Range: 0 – 100%

Centering Force

Default

Base-generated centering spring.

At zero: AMS2 handles centring.

Range: 0 – 100%

Smoothness

Reconstruction Filter

For AMS2Low

Smooths the peaks of a low-refresh signal with almost no latency. Simucube's flagship tool.

Range: 0 – 10 / Off

Slew Rate Limit

For AMS20.21

Limits how fast torque can change. Off = unlimited.

Range: Nm/ms / Off

Torque Bandwidth

Default

Low-pass filter: removes high-frequency detail.

Range: Hz

Advanced

Static Force Reduction

For AMS20 – 15%

Removes static torque after one second: adds a power-steering sensation. Does not affect road detail.

Range: 0 – 100%

Ultra Low Latency Mode

For AMS2Off

Reduces torque control loop latency: helps against oscillation without piling on filters.

Range: Off / niveles

Torque Linearity

Default

Adjusts response to small torque signals.

Range: gamma

Notch filter

To kill a specific frequency resonating in your rig. Not needed unless you have an identified problem.

Center Frequency / Attenuation dB / Q Factor

For AMS2Disabled

Target frequency, how much is removed and how precisely.

Range: Hz / dB / Q

DirectInput / game effects

Damping / Friction / Spring / Sine / Square / Sawtooth / Triangle

For AMS20%

Effects requested by the sim that do not come from physics.

The AMS2 wiki sets them all to 0: the game already sends torque through the right channel.

Range: 0 – 100%Def.: 100%

About this base

25 Nm of high-response Direct Drive with a 22-bit absolute encoder, an 8.0 Nm/ms torque slew rate and a 450 W peak supply. The reference all-round base for serious GT and formula racing.
