Driving force gt rfactor

[designndrive62]

Hi there, just wondering if anyone could help with a problem I am having with my driving force gt which I have recently started using with rfactor.

I quickly discovered that when travelling in a straight line the wheel would start erratically turning from side too side, about 45 degrees each way, as if it was fishtailing all the way down the straight. I tried to sort the issue but to no avail and since installing the real feel mod it has become even worse, doing it even when stationary and more violently too, making the wheel unusable entirely...

If anyone has any thoughts or help on this issue it would be much appreciated!

Is it a Logitech wheel?

If so, they tend to need a negative number for the force feedback force.

In the rfactor control settings there should be an option for force... it should go from -100 to +100. Think it needs to be a negative. I have mine on -100.

I think this is your problem but hard to tell, let me know if it doesn't!

Thanks for the reply, yeah I read about that little oddity and have been setting feedback to minus so I'm afraid that doesn't appear to be the fix I have only been setting it to -75ish though so next time I will try -100 and see

Damn! I thought that would be it!

Are you using the "logitech profiler"? it's a bit of software/program that can help, although I doubt it will make a difference anyway.

I think it's available for free from their website.

Yup, got that too haha. I currently have everything set on that as per any guide I can find on the internet after also using default settings so I really can't work out what's going wrong

[ctrl]+[numpad 8] to switch the force feedback direction might be worth a try. If you're not using it already set your ffb to "low" and use the realfeel plugin in mods that have accurate geometry rather than rFactor ffb.

I'd be looking at the 'deadzone'. When I've had this problem before, you increase the centre 'deadzone'. This means you have to turn the wheel a mm or 2 extra before something happens but it has cured the side-to-side problem. Then you can put your force feed back up again.
