well the situation is that I bought a g25 on Thursday and it was fine on day one and on day 2 and 3 lfs loses calibration of the wheel. I replug it back in and works fine for only some time. Keep in mind that the center is ok on the game controller window thing. Is there any solution to this problem? screenie of task manager before i run lfs (turned off sidebar also) also to add this only happens about 2-4 degree left or right after a quick jerk to correct my steering while i enter a corner.

EDIT: forgot to add I ggot a new replacement from j&r and its doing the same thing only a bit less now 1-3 degrees.
EDIT2: I also think LFS is to blame.....
my rig:
c2d e6420 @3.1ghz on ac freezer 7 pro
asus p5q-something(has a wifi)
4GB-ddr2 1066 gskill ram
8800gt oc 700/1620/1000
1tb hdd and 2x250gb hdd
ocz 650 watt psu
XFi soundcard.

Try to check cable hub.

plugged into the mother board's usb ports gonna see if it helps...

EDIT: still off by 3 degrees....

attached the controller config for windows
using lgs 5.02 on vista ult. 64-bit

If nothing else helps, you may have to open it up. I gave this advice to someone in general thread, and it worked for him..

Quote from MijnWraak :

That happened to me too - And i never go over 40% ffb ingame!

Anyways, I fixed this by placing a new optical encoder onto the end of the FF motor. Also replaced motors with different ones since they squeeked. Thing is now these are starting to squeek! I thought the g25 would last longer than this. Guess just gonna have to wait till it dies a slow painful death then buy a fanatec.


Also this could fix it: If you see where optical encoder is (end of ff motor with black box) remove the plastic black box thing. Now there will be a circuit board (i'm pretty sure you know what im talking about, just explaining for anyones future reference) and a black ring sticking out. I think if you moved the ring away from the board that it'll read more clearly and won't "skip" readings and un calibrate itself. Hope it helps, but can't guarantee anything


p.s. I also cut a hole in the case so I can easily remove the covering without screwing and unscrewing a bunch of screws + hassle(cut vertically from the circle for steering column, if you know what I mean). I can leave off and place a small fan and it should keep cool. This may help if you get the encoder working.

Just try tightening those screws.

Don't wanna ruin my warranty mate and besides the problem cant be the same on two different sets of g25's. i think Lfs is acting up. After i replug my wheel everything is ok right up until it goes wrong....

gonna try rfactor to see if its there or not

I Rfactor it works but in lfs It STILL doesn't and now I am frustrated,..... Gonna try windows default drivers instead of logitech ones by deleting lgs

EDIT: Yipppee IT works by uninstalling the driver and using old one to get into lfs recalibrate, lock, quit, install new ones and viola.... and idk how long till this trick fails. Logitech build quality needs a bit of a step up though...

What works for me is turning the G25 fully to the right before you plug it in.
