i just bought a new Logitech Driving Force Pro steering wheel and pedals, but im having a problem calibrating it seems to be until i go into the game and the force feedback or something keeps knocking the calibrating off centre and its all gone a bit wierd, ive downloaded the drivers from the logitech website and tried it with or without the drivers, same thing - any1 know where i can get some better drivers or has any1 had the same problem? i would really appreciate the help

it appears as if the locking isnt working correctly, can ne1 help?

I'm using the latest wingman drivers with no problems, available here.

And these wheel settings...

Control Panel:
Overall Effect Strength: 100%
Spring Effect Strength: 0%
Damper Effect Strength: 0%
Enable Centering Spring = OFF
Report Combined Pedals = OFF
Degrees Of Rotation = 270°

In Game:
Wheel turn: 270°
Wheel turn compensation: 1.00
Force Strength: 20 - 40 (depends on car)

Hope this helps.

Mmmm, maybe this would be better in the Beginner's section ?

Once you know, this isn't usefull to many people and it's mostly
a problem from inexperience with LFS, imo.

Im pretty sure its hardware related, going to ring up logitech and/or take it back. looks like its another mouse session for me then.. :<

Quote from DefunkT :

it happens out of lfs in windows as well, wont lock off the degree locking doesnt work either.. for example if i put the lock to 200* it will go to 200* get a lil bit harder than just carry on going on around to 900* and also with ff i cant turn against it and it be registered, if i turn against it the wheel will turn but LFS will not rezognize it and it wont take effect against the ff. It also happens on windows if i put spring on or other stationary ff effects. its very hard to explain what im on about but im hoping some1 will get what i mean. Im pretty sure its an hardware problem, but not 100%. i think i shall ring up logitech and ask about it or take it back to pcworld n see if i can get another.

thanks for your help

Did you try it on an other USB port ?

Cause my wheel goes bonkers if I plugged in a joystick at port 1 (the port which is left on the backside) and plugged in my dfp at port 2...

If I switch them around it is all ok

you mean if you set the lock to anything other than 900° or 200° (you should try that again at 200° you should get a solid lock) all the wheel does when you reach that lock is push against you with its ff motor ?
thats the way its supposed to be

i took it back, got a new one and it works fine now. Thanks for your help anyways
