Searched here, at Logitech, and across the web and can't find a solution to this problem: there seems to be a 10º 'notch' or 'play' in the center of the steering range of my G25. If it was a real car I'd say I have worn tie-rod bushings. In any event it makes smooth steering rather difficult.

Found several Logitech-general and G25-specific setup recommendations, but none seem to solve the problem. In fact, I'm on my 3rd wheel from Logitech--they seemed to think it was defective, and assured me it should be smooth across the full wheel turn.

The problem occurs with and without using Logitech Profiler, and is definitely related to the force feedback. That is, with FF at 0% in LFS the problem goes away, and as I crank it up the 'edges' of the notch become more and more pronounced. While it's possible I've had three defective wheels, that seems such unlikely.

So:

1. Does anyone else have this problem?
2. Does anyone have a solution?

For the record, the Windows device settings I'm using now are Force feedback ON and 101%, Spring and Damper effects ON and 0%, Centering spring ON and 0%. In LFS Wheel Turn Compensation is 0.00.

you using 720? plus i have the same problem dunno how to fix it hope there is a solution.

Hello,

I have the same problem if I set the wheel to more than 720°.

It seems that in LFS if you use more than 720° after turning the wheel in max and min position, the game don't now how to manage the 900° range and add a "gap" in between the -90° to 0° and from 0° to 90.

Probably because : 900 -720 = 180 / 2 = 90° degree of gap....

Hope to be clear ...

Hi All, i had a similiar problem, but i soon sorted it. If you go into your options, look for something called "analogue steer smooth" turn this down to 0, it should then get rid of this problem, or it did for me at least.

I've had some luck on my DFP with setting the FF in profiler to 80%-90%.
It took out the notch but you'll need a day or two to get used to the FF as it will feel a tad different. One benefit of this is that it'll allow you to be more precise in setting FF in LFS as the 5% difference is now much smaller.

Good luck.

The problem is that the logitech g25 has two motors in it.

On a normal wheels like the momo it only has one, therefor when the wheel is at center the one motor can't keep the wheel at center properly since the motor only has the ability to push to either direction and not "locking"

In the case of the g25 since it has to motors, it can lock in the middle, just pushing those motors towards eachother.

The problem with lfs is that it doesn't support that.
Instead it creates a zone near the middle usualt within a certain % of the exact middle where it doesn't apply any force at all.
If lfs could be configured to remove that gap when using a g25 this problem would be out of the world.

Also, try lowering your LFS forces, and raising your profiler to 103%, improves the forces around the center a lot.

Actually, since I race mostly FOX, I have it set at 450º.

Dang, found it and changed it. But joy.

Rats, that didn't help either.

That's what I've concluded too. At the moment I'm using 105% in Profiler and 50% wheel centering, contrary to all recommendations. Notch is still there. but has a real car feel.

Have you checked "yes" for the "Remove dead zones" option?
