If I drive in straight line my car goes left to right because my wheel is, or shall I say the forcefeedback wonn`t sit still and tries to get me off the track. I have a logitec ff gp. This has been going on for a week now, I tried all kind of adjusting but no go. Could it be the potentiometer in the wheel or am I drunk? Any help appreciated. flObO

i have the same problem with my wheel :S

It's due to the steering wheel getting its forcefeedback directly from the car wheels (forces acting on the steering column, actually) and between them is all these wires, USB jacks, Windows XP, wheel software & hardware drivers, force feedback motor, play in the force feedback motor's cogs, the fact that your wheel only turns bit more than a half turn compared to 2.5 turns of a real steering wheel etc adding lag/delay to the force feedback information. Not like in real life where the steering wheel is directly connected wheels, and the feedback to the steering wheel is instantaneous.

Essentially, when the force feedback effects reaches to your hands, it is slightly wrong. Driving straight creates continuos small effects to right and left, and if you don't limit the wheel turning by keeping it straight all the slightly wrong effect oscillate to not so slightly wrong effects eventually causing you to spin or veer off track.

You can somewhat lessen the oscillating effect abit by lowering your force feedback strength and caster in the car setup (other car setup parametres affect also but caster has the biggest effect IIRC), adding dead zone to the wheel center help too. Or alternatively getting a multiturn wheel such as Driving Force Pro or Logitech G25 coming this fall.

LOL

I have the same problem,for exactly a week aswell illepall

Re-calibrate your wheel,FF in LFS at 50,and deadzone on yes

Odd,but seems its away here

Thanks for the reactions. It is a little better now, but the strange thing is I only have this effect in LFS. flObO

This wheelshake is a lot setup-dependant. On my Logitech DFP I just couldnt drive with one Osirises setup for XRR because thw wheel was shaking like a hell. When I switched to some other setup, it became MUCH better.
Now on patch U14 it is also A LOT better.

I agree with Sternendaal, disabling deadzones helpes a bit because the steering is more precise and that every small change is a little bit smaller.

You can also try to play with Analogue steer smooth, Wheel turn range and Wheel turn compensation in LFS options
