Tweaker Files V2.8 Update Notes

1. DLC US cars added - Aston_Martin_Vantage_GT12, Cadillac_ATS-VR, Chevrolet_Corvette_C7R, Dallara_DW12_2014_Road, Ford_Fusion_Nascar13
The Dallara is a high downforce car, compromise setting as the FA - recommended steering ratio 14:1

2. AWD-cars reworked - Audi_A1_Quattro, Mercedes_A45_AMG, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo_IX_FQ360 / Evo_X_FQ400 / EvoVI_TME

3. Historic cars reworked - Aston_Martin_DBR1_1959, Mercedes_300SL_W194 - recommended steering ratio 11:1
Settings identical in all versions except Kerb Minus.

Casey Ringleyīs statement concerning the 300SL

Steering geometry on the 300SL is unusual (old car, primitive design). There is no caster, little scrub radius, and almost no mechanical trail. Moment arm for Fy to act through is very small. This means any pneumatic trail - or mechanical trail induced by tyre flex as you get under braking - will feel very strong in the mix, especially if you have tuned things to amplify any forces.


Tweaker Files V2.7.1 Update Notes

1. Machine Dojo Modding Team - Audi R8 LMS added, no other changes.


Tweaker Files V2.7 Update Notes

1. DLC StanceWorks Edition added - Ford Falcon FG, KTM X-Bow-R,  MX-5 RadBul Formula, BMW 1-Series M-Coupé, BMW 2002 Turbo

Note, the MX-5 RadBulīs FFB is exception to the rule as the phases of Fy and Fz are reversed to the usual standard. Settings are
basically identical in all versions the only exception are the 66% versions. For Console just use these 66% versions. In all other  
version mentioned phases are reversed "back to normal" (tweaker file only).

2. Adjustments - Renault_Alpine_A442B, BAC Mono, Ariel_Atom_Mugen, Ariel_Atom3



Tweaker Files V2.6 Update Notes

1. DLC cars Renault added - Formula_Renault_35, Renault_Megane_RS275, Renault_Megane_Trophy2, Renault_RS01, Renault_Alpine_A442B and Radical_RXC_Turbo

2. FWD cars reworked - Ford_Focus_RS, Renault_Megane_RS, Renault_Clio_Cup14 - for FFBīs sake use Steering Ratio at 11:1

3. Small adjustments - BMW_320TC, Ginetta_G55_GT4, BMW_2002_Turbo

4. Since patch 7.0 Fx/Fx Low pass set at "normal" values - Lotus_49/49C



Tweaker Files V2.5.1 Update Notes

1. DLC Lotus reworked - 25, 38, 40, 49C, 51 F3 & small adjustment on the Lotus 49.

For the sake of FFB Steering Ratio at 13.9 : 1 on all these cars. Due to high dynamic under braking settings still are
a compromise.
Alternative on the Lotus 49C use the 1968 tires with the Lotus 49 tweaker setting, MasterScale/SopScale should be increased
about 6 ticks in this case. 


Tweaker Files V2.5 Update Notes

1. DLC Lotus added - 25, 38, 40, 49C, 51 F3

2. Folder 7, 8 and 9 added - Kerbs Minus

Some people requesting to tame down the nasty kerbs rattle. Additional 3 versions based on Standard-Classic(7),
Fy+Soplateral Mix(8) and 66% SopLateral(9). High frequency vertical load (Fz/SopDiff.) filtered with FzLowPass 
and SopLowPass, values are set identical on all cars at 0.1. Note, this is the lowest possible value in order 
to be compatible with the GUI values, actually some cars would require less than 0.1 (10 GUI) others more. 
Itīs a simple filter that doesnīt distinguish between a kerb or other high frequency FFB response but the job
gets done with minor cutbacks. BTW Brands Hatch is a reference of nasty kerbs.

3. FWD cars small adjustments - Ford_Focus_RS, Renault_Megane_RS (provisional, perhaps reworked)



Tweaker Files V2.4.1 Update Notes


1.High performance cars LMP 1, LMP 900 and FA modified - Due to GUI value limits in order to be compatible mainly with consoles.
Audi_R18, Audi_R18_etron, LMP_RWD_P30, Marek_RP_339H, Aston_Martin_DBR1-2, Toyota_TS040_14, Audi_R8_LMP900, BMW_V12_LMR, 
Bentley_Speed_8, FA.

2. Master levels slightly increased - Radical_SR3, Radical_SR8


Tweaker Files V2.4 Update Notes

1. DLC Japanese Cars added - Scion_FR-S, Scion_FR-S_RB, Toyota_86, Toyota_GT86, Toyota_GT86_RB, Toyota_TS040_14

2. High performance cars LMP 1, LMP 900 and FA readjusted, also to minimize oscillation.
Audi_R18, Audi_R18_etron, LMP_RWD_P30, Marek_RP_339H, Aston_Martin_DBR1-2, Audi_R8_LMP900, BMW_V12_LMR, Bentley_Speed_8, FA

3. Minor adjustments - Ruf_CTR3_SMSR, Lotus_49, Ariel_Atom_Mugen, Ariel_Atom3, Ariel_Atom_V8

4. Completely readjusted - Aston_Martin_DBR1_1959 and Mercedes_300SL_W194, negative Fx for consoles set Fx at zero.
Note, forces on these cars are not the usual standard, not much sense to make different versions hence settings are identical 
in all versions. The 300SL setting is based on Caster = -0,4 and Camber = -0.7

5. Nasty kerbs rattle - some people asking how to reduce it. Set Fz Low Pass and Sop Low Pass (smoothing) at 0.03 - 0.1, car depending.



Tweaker Files V2.3 Update Notes 


1. DLC cars added - Aston Martin DBR1 1959, Aston Martin DBR1-2, Aston Martin Vantage GTE, Mercedes 300SL W194

Thereīs a bug on the DBR1 1959 and 300SL, Mz seems messed up, Fx / Fy is interchanged and Fy (actually Fx) is negative 
by default on the DBR 1, reversed it for PC only. Momentarily these 2 cars are not the usual standard.

2. Small adjustments - Mercedes 300 SEL, BMW 1M, Mercedes SLS, Lotus 49 and FA (just Spindle Arm)

3. Since patch 7.0 Fx/Fx Low Pass set at standard values - Lotus_49/49C 




Tweaker Files V2.2.1 Update Notes

1. Readjustments - BMW 2002 Turbo, Ford Mustang Fastback66, Ford Mustang GT 2015, Ruf CTR Yellowbird

2. AWD cars now negative Fx - center slightly tighter, wheel doesnīt get light anymore when accelerating - Audi 90 Quattro IMSA GTO, 
Audi A1 Quattro, Mercedes A45 AMG, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X FQ400.
!!!! This is tweaker files only for consoles keep previous versions.



Tweaker Files V2.2 Update Notes

1. DLC cars added - BMW_320TC, BMW_2002_Turbo, Ford_Mustang_Fastback66, Ford_Mustang_GT_2015, Ruf_CTR_Yellowbird, Ruf_RT12R

2. Mz Low Pass (Smoothing) set at 0.1 on all cars in all versions in order to eliminate the Mz Spin-off "grinding" similar
to Fx grinding.

CSW v2 FFB linear test settings and more info of "Mz spin-off grinding" follow this link:

Tweaker Files V2.1 Update Notes

1. Fx spin-off force "grinding" issue resolved -
Returned to lower pre V2.0 Fx values on many cars, increased on cars where low force by SMS default. Fx Low Pass added 
to eliminate the "grinding", as a precaution on all cars in all versions, in "Brake Rumble" Fx values not changed.
 
This update is more or less just fixing the issue, FFB basically feels as before.
Fx = longitudinal force, a temporary force that doesnīt affect the core ratio or balance of forces, plays itīs main 
part under heavy braking and when hitting a kerb (jolts) at a certain angle for instance.  

See "Fx grinding" before/after screenshots inside the zip file.

2. On the Renault Clio Fx now is set to a negative value in order to reverse default negative to positive, eliminates  
phase cancellation issues. Makes it tighter in the center and gives a bit more detail. Note, this is tweaker files only 
cause on the setup menus negative values arenīt possible. BTW itīs the only car Fx is not purely temporary and negative
by default, itīs a FWD car.


Tweaker Files V2.0 Update Notes

This major update is based on a more accurate method to pinpoint the default levels of forces in order to calculate their 
ratios. The process brought to light much more "SMS variables" even among the same type of cars than anticipated so 
detailed car FFB assessment was required, several days of work by the way.

Also, all phase issues are eliminated hence the major forces are completely undiluted, result - a nice and tight center,
improved FFB detail for a better feel of car weight/movement and road, a great example is the Caterham 500/Oulton Park.

Added a second "Bumps Plus Version" (folder 6) which is based on the Standard-Classic settings.
(Note, I limited the highest possible value at 2.0 in all versions to be compatible to the consoles 200.00)

To give you an idea of the above mentioned "SMS Variables" hereīs a small sample of "My Worksheet", also indicates why the
default FFB got to be way off.  



Tweaker Files V1.7 Update Notes

1. DLC cars added - Audi R18 etron, Audi R8 LMP900, Audi 90 IMSA GTO

2. LMP 1 cars readjusted to match the Audi R18 etron - Audi R18, LMP RWDP 30, Marek RP 339h LMP1 

3. Since patch 2.5 Low Speed Spring Coefficient & Saturation are part of the game this tweaker line is no longer needed: 

			<value DisableSlowSpring="true" /> -- deleted in all files!

In order to make use of the new parameters the Spring Function should be enabled in the wheel driver, on the CSW "SPr" value 10-150.

Official description of the function a.k.a. FFB at standstill:

Low Speed Spring Coefficient & Saturation - The weight of the steering at slow speeds (<10mph) and when the car is stationary. The saturation is the maximum force for the spring and the coefficient is how quickly the spring takes effect. To avoid "cogging / notching" effects when stationary its best to leave the spring coefficient high and lower the saturation.


Tweaker Files V1.6.2 Update Notes

1. Audi A 1 Quattro added to the list - certain ratios are different than on similar type.

2. Bentley GT3 - master levels slightly decreased.

No further changes.


Tweaker Files V1.6.1 Update Notes

66% SopLateral - fixed files mismatch for these cars. (Standard-Classic files unintentional in here)
 
Marek RP 339h LMP1
Marek RP 219D LMP2 
RWD P20 LMP 
RWD P30 LMP 
Lotus 98T 

No further changes.


Tweaker Files V1.6 Update Notes

1. DLC cars added - Bentley Continental GT3, Bentley Speed 8, BMW V12 LMR, McLaren F1 GTR, Mercedes-Benz CLK LM

2. Master Level Adjustments - FB, FC, F.Gulf, Lotus 98T, McLaren 12C, McLaren 12 GT3

3. Fine Tuning - BAC Mono, Mercedes A45, Palmer Jaguar


NEW..NEW..NEW..SET added "Brake Rumble"

Some people asked in the forum and in several PMs about this effect - in game Fx = longitudinal force. Fx is equally cranked 
up on all cars, itīs a temporary force so it wonīt spoil the core balance. Though cranked up there is little effect on lots of
cars. As reference check the Radicals and the Caterham 500 on Oulton Park. 
This version is based on Fy+SopLateral Mix and bumps/kerbs response is increased slightly too. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tweaker Files V1.5 Update Notes

1. Karts new settings - based on 10:1 steering ratio (car setup menus), not real Kart like but much better FFB, FFB at standstill 
disabled due to heavy oscillation. (FFB wheels donīt seem to like ultra fast steering ratios)

2. Lykan Hypersports - small adjustments

3. FA - tamed, better compromise setting due to exaggerated FFB dynamic.

4. Soft Lock (lock spring) enabled by default in all sets - FFB lock for each car's certain degrees of rotation.

......no further car adjustments.


NEW..NEW..NEW!!
2 additional sets of car files to make it 4.

Sets posted previously

Folder 1. Standard
Classic parameters Fx,Mz,Fy,Fz - but additional SopDiff. bumps/kerbs/road feel from the rear tires, solves phase issues.

Folder 2. Fy+SopLateral Mix
Side load mix (front/rear) 2/3 + 1/3 by forces not by numbers. FFB feels slightly different but gives more feel what the rear
of the car is doing, all other parameters as Standard.

NEW ADDITIONAL SETS

Folder 3. 66% SopLateral 
Featuring Side Load Forces derivated from the Rear. The character of SopLateral leaves Mz more space to breathe, allows about
10% - 13% increased  Master Scale and Sop Scale values than in other sets. Entering curves the wheel slightly feels lighter than 
usual but compensates with more dynamic, you gain more feel when the tail wants to step out. 
In the Fy+SopLateral Mix version Fy (side load front) is dominating, besides the Master Levels this is the main difference.
Note, although different side load mix versions they are following laws of physics, in this case how SMS interprets including
human error (and bugs).

Folder 4. Bumps Plus 
Based on the Fy+SopLateral Mix version, more Rockīn Roll from bumps and kerbs, clipping not ruled out.

Much copy/paste work hopefully no errors.
