The "drop outs" with the wheel axis occurs the entire time in is connected, regardless of the program. Or even if I'm at the desktop with no applications running.
When I'm in the Windows collaboration, where its asking for me to center the wheel. There is no force feedback or errors. But when I click next, it starts acting up again. Same with the Logitech collaboration aswell.
Are you saying to re download LFS? I have tried this wheel with GT5, LFS and TDU2.
Thanks for the reference I'll check that out. It was fine yesterday
Hello everyone,
Today my Logitech Driving Force Wireless just started acting a fool. Turning the wheel left and right, completely disables any force feedback and all control. You only get control again once you have centered the wheel.
I have or had the correct Logitech software and drivers installed. So, I tried updating and when that failed I tried a EX version but to no avail.
So when I was trying to calibrate the wheel, using the raw data I noticed the drop out on the right starts at 745 and the left drop out is about 250. So Its only "looking" between 250 and 745.
I don't think there is anything hardware wise that is wrong with the wheel.
The only thing I have done, before this started is I started mixing music via Native Intruments program Traktor and a USB midi controller. But I don't have it connected while I'm not using it (when I'm using the wheel).
No corrupt drivers.
Any suggestions?
Many many many thanks if you do, no LFS atm and I just purchased TDU2 and I really could use the advice.
Thanks to you guys I remembered my drivers weren't up to date. So I re activated my Driver Genius software and it installed everything and got me back up and racing.
The setup I needed was stated as:
Logitech Gaming Software
version 14.0.0.7
15.30mb
file name: win_vista-2k8-32-14.0.0.7a.zip
So that's what I needed. A simple setup and all axis work great.
thanks for your help, see you on the track (LFS S1: Digi)

This is the wheel I'm using and had used before with LFS.

"There is no software available for this product." Its not specifically made for PC, but like I said in my previous post it was working perfect before I formatted. Also the controls for the pedals are behind the wheel (hand controlled).
Here are some pics to help explain what I'm having issues with:
Hello,
I recently formatted my HDD. Now I'm all caught back up and trying play some LFS. I'm using a Logitech Wireless Force, I noticed the configuration is different than what I had available in the setup before my format.
Simply put I'm missing an entire Axis. I went through the calibration config. in Windows where you center and depress the pedals. This time it didn't ask me to press the pedals.
Within LFS, I have the throttle/brake axis's separate. But I only have 2 axis to choose from (x & y) and the X axis is steering. Adding, the Y axis for the gas/brake isn't touch sensitive.
I don't exactly remember how many axis I had or what I did to make this work properly. But I didn't find setups from Logitech and all other threads weren't having this specific problem.
So any help would be greatly appreciated, atm I can't play LFS.

Thanks for the offer JackSun. Yes I have been keeping a look out for that username, RedlineQuinn. But 18:30 BST is around 2-3 pm EST in the USA and I just started college ontop of working. So usually I only have time to play around 6 pm.
If you happen to see me, call me out and I'll do the same.
Really appreciate the help,
Thanks Dolan. I've been busy lately but I'll check back and let you know how it goes using that setup and my pro like driving skills .
I use a Logitech Wireless force, It has no pedals or shifter. The gas and brake are controlled by the "flaps?" behind the wheel and the L1 and R1 are right next to your thumbs. Its a decent, yet cheap wheel. It does get a bit loud while fighting against the motor though.
IMO, The G27 is the best wheel out there. Same thing as the G25 really just the shifter and wheel motor are more quite.
I would get the wheel 1st then get a license. You definably want to get something S1 or s2 whatever you can afford. I just bought a S1, the content is great but what I have noticed is there isn't that many s1 servers. So the content has to be used when those servers are up. I don't know about s2 servers though it appears there are alot of subs so hopefully there will be more variety.
I agree,
These or you 1:33 people must be machines with big metal balls. I mean being able to constantly do these low time laps without screwing up a single turn and while racing others.
One thing I did notice, on the first turn I get alot of under steer if I try to keep with the packs pace. What should I adjust to make my front tire stick better? I understand line and speed all play a part of this but if I had to adjust something where would I start?
The more the merrier,
But if I have to be specific. I like civilian type cars, so anything far and in between a Honda R or a Skyline GTR. Everything Nissan, nothing hyundai. I'm hoping Forza volume, but would prefer quality over quantity.
Thanks for sharing is must be taking the last two turns wrong. Replays I have seen the last turn they slide out to the others sides apex. My runs are pretty stable through there. So I'll try to push it.
Thanks for the recommendation, Paypal worked.
I called up the visa gift card reps, and it appears they suck. They were having complications or something, but the card wouldn't activate for 3 hours after I ACTIVATED! it, lol. But even so, they Visa debit option would not work. But thanks again, I didn't know Paypal worked like that and it was very easy.
Thanks for the recommendation, I will check that out sounds really useful.
I did snatch up a few 1:32 replays (hotlaps). I test drove them and it kinda gave me an example of what it requires to make such a good lap. Even after watching the replay, I still couldn't get anything under 1:36.
I'm using a Logitech Wireless Force. Its a cheap wheel but it gets the job done.
On the replay, I don't have one at the moment. I will definably post something up, sometime tomorrow. Perhaps using a few of my better setups and we can analyze how they perform.
I have contacted lfs about the problem but I'n hoping I'm not the 1st here.
I'm trying to buy a S1 license with my Pre Paid Visa debit card but it gets declined. It has $50 on it, an yes I'm from the good ole' USA so do you guys think that plays a part in the decline? I have tried, re tried, and made sure every number and letter is correct. I don't know...It sucks.
Please drop your 2 bits, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
I have been playing LFS for awhile now. Being the new guy I didn't care if I wasn't as fast as the other guy, but now its getting old. Not being able to beat my best, a high 1:36 with the GTI on Blackwood. That time would fly, but alot of others are getting around 1:33.
I have tried multiple setups claiming a low time but I haven't really seen a big difference. I'm not a bad driver, my downfall is consistency but I can put down a smooth pass.
I can accept I'm not as fast as long as its a fair competition. While reading other posts about this subject. I came across one that stated "I haven't seen any 1:33 since the game was patched." On that note are these fast racers cheating or taking advantage?
