Not normal. I can drive down a straight and let go of the wheel and stay going straight.

How do you have your wheel setup. There is a guide somewhere, I am at work at the mo so can't see the settings.

Basically..

In Control Panel: Set the wheel 720degrees. Set master force strength at 101% and all other sliders to 0.

In LFS: Set you wheel to 720degrees, wheel comp to 1 and FF to anything you like. I run with 40%.

Could be setup related. Some setups are really shite and cause a strange bounce in forces. This coupled with controller lag can cause strange effects

ok well i ran into another thing on my system...i couldnt save my settings on the properties...plz help


EDIT: ok so...i contacted logitech and they should be able to call me today to check it out...sorry about this post guys....the school is probably gonna cut off this site soo i cant gain access to this site from school anymore

Joe, my suggestion would be disconnecting the wheel, uninstalling the drivers and installing the most recent drivers from logitech.com.

I had a problem where my wheel would just switch to 180* of lock, and I wasn't able to change the settings, they would just reset back.

My G25 makes a clicking noise sometimes when I turn it 90 degrees either clockwise or counterclockwise. First it didn't make this kind of noise. Any ideas?

I had the same problem with my Formula Force EX on one of my PC's... Problem was solved when I activated "Invert force effects" somewhere...

if u have ffb activated, and u turn the wheel sharp to a direction while driving, it will countersteer. Solution: less ffb

stefani, I was going to say the same thing. My momo did the same, go to the profiler and down your FF, may be raise it in LFS to compensate. Still, at some speeds it's normal for the wheel to do that

ok.....i downloaded a software for vista for the g25 im gonna try it out later to see if there is gonna be any changes and also logitech hasnt called me yet LOL soo ya ill either wait or just go for the install

Well actually I've got the same "problem" and as said it comes from the FF. Most of the times this occurs when i'm at a little bump or curb, so the steer wants to steer. I'm not experiencing this as something negative, but just that there is no counter-force.
