Version 1.5-Preview1

Hello everyone,

A big thank you for supporting me and this project. See below for the changes introduced in version 1.5. This is a significant update to the script’s core force feedback system, and your feedback will be crucial in making sure everything feels just right before the public release.

Combined, these changes aim to deliver a more cohesive, natural experience, especially when driving at the limit. You should find it easier to feel what the car is doing and make corrections.

Major changes:

• Added: Self-Aligning Torque (SAT) System
  (Note: This change significantly increases perceived FFB strength. You may need to reduce Assetto Corsa's in-game FFB gain to maintain a comfortable level.)

  • The wheel will now naturally want to unwind and self-align when accelerating out of corners

  • Wheel behavior feels more predictable and stable under power.

  • Front-wheel-drive cars are now much less likely to want snap-steer into corners.

  • Improved on-center FFB feel

• Fixed: Oversteer behavior

  • Previously, the wheel would become heavier during oversteer — essentially operating backwards.

  • Now, the wheel gets lighter as rear grip is lost, making it easier to “feel” for grip by sensing weight returning to the wheel.

• Changed: Consolidated Slip Angle Haptic Effects

  • Merged understeer, oversteer, and lateral slip into a more unified system

  • Smoother transitions between different states

  • Improved frequency scaling based on vehicle speed and slip intensity

• Added: Suspension force multiplier for front-wheel drive

  • Suspension force has been a major source of oscillation in FWD cars

  • This new multiplier reduces suspension force dynamically based on front wheel power delivery to help stabilize the wheel and reduce snappiness.

  • This won’t eliminate oscillation entirely, but it is step in the right direction.

Revised Default Settings

• Reduced front force to the default (45 → 40)

• Decreased damping (15 → 10)

• Suspension Travel Force Multiplier: halved to increase the useful range of the Content Manager slider

  • New default: 20

  • To match the 1.4.2 value, set it to 30

• Lateral Slip:

  • Max Lateral Slip frequency (80Hz → 70Hz)

  • Oversteer and Understeer effect now scale with the Lateral Slip intensity slider

• Max Oversteer frequency (60Hz → 90Hz)

• ABS frequency (10Hz → 20Hz)

Other

• Refined intensity multipliers across various haptic effects
