| Parameter | Recommended Setting | Reasoning | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | 0-5% | Eliminates accidental engagement; AMS2 has a very sensitive raw input. | | Saturation | 90-95% | Prevents unrealistically full lock-up at maximum pull. | | Gamma (if supported) | 1.5 - 2.0 | Creates a progressive feel where initial pull is mild, and full lock occurs only at the final 20% of travel. | | Combine with Throttle | None (Separate axis) | Do not use clutch/throttle combination; AMS2 interprets simultaneous inputs poorly for handbraking. | 5. Comparative Performance Analysis | Simulator | Handbrake Feel | Rotation Speed | Tire Model Integration | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | AMS2 | Aggressive, binary (if digital) | Very Fast | High (tire temp loss) | | DiRT Rally 2.0 | Smooth, progressive | Moderate | Medium | | RBR (NGP) | Realistic, inertia-based | Realistic | Very High | | Assetto Corsa | Mod-dependent | Slow to Moderate | Low (without mods) |
