Just try turning it yourself with the wheel unpowered, that is, against only the mechanical resistance and no FFB / centering spring. It won't immediately stop when you lift your hand / finger off it. In fact, yanking my G25 from full left lock to the right as fast as I can over just 90° will keep it spinning another ~360°.
The oscillation can occur in a wide variety of games (LFS, iRacing, GT5, DiRT, DiRT2, GRID, all FFB supporting NFS titles... to name just a few) with virtually any FFB wheel.
As you say (and I said), it only occurs on an unloaded wheel (i.e. free-wheeling or hands just barely on it), just a relaxed grip is usually sufficient to dampen the rebound, if not the initial overshoot itself. And yes, it has very little chance of occuring at "reasonable" FFB settings (<=100%).
Also, certain modifications allowing for greater steering angle than stock will inevitably lead to this effect if the FFB strength is not adjusted accordingly.
Oscillation is normal for an unloaded wheel (i.e. when you're not applying any force / torque yourself). Basically the wheel applies torque in the direction it's instructed to, but will overshoot due to inertia. This then translates to unwanted steering input which is met with simulated resistance (friction, inertia, rotational inertia, air resistance, ...) and thus triggers yet another FFB instruction, again resulting in the wheel overshooting and so on and so forth.
How dramatically this effect manifests itself depends primarily on your FFB strength setting and suspension setup, but it generally shouldn't be a problem at <=100% FFB with your hands on the wheel at all times. It will get much more severe at higher levels.
It's up again, though on a different machine now: 62.75.182.120:29865
Permissions and such are still a mess, but it's the old world and the whitelist should include everyone it did before.
That's incorrect. Hibernation stores your session on non-volatile memory (HDD, SSD, ...) before shutting the machine down. It does not draw any power beyond what it usually does when turned off. You can unplug the machine, ship it around the world, plug it back in and boot right back to where you left off with your session being restored to RAM.
I would go with MS or Google rather than FB, if they couldn't be forced to reveal personal information to US law enforcement, but they can be, so nothing more than Hotmail for potential Spam for me.
That's quite extreme, but depending on how much work and/or money you're willing to put in, any wheel can be repaired. If you let the Germans do it, you'll get it back good as new and balanced to tighter tolerances than factory in most cases
Integrating this into an InSim library is rather pointless since CM titles don't actually implement InSim, only OutSim, and not 100% to LFS's specification at that. With ExtraData=1, it becomes something entirely unrelated altogether.
What is it you're ultimately looking for? Logging? Displaying? Sending to a motion sim?
Receiving and processing the data is simple in virtually ever language, so the choice depends on how interfacing with the motion sim works, if that's what you intend to do.
It's like they said and also what my original point behind my first post in this topic was: They bring it to light and brag about their achievements, others just take what they want and leave quietly.
White car + black wheels is the obvious choice and overused as such. I'll go for the same combination eventually, just need to find the right wheels first.
