Just a quick post to ask: Anyone know why my dfp wont lock? lfs and profiler are set to 260 degrees but my dfp dosnt lock at the angle it just feels like the FF motor gives up? :|

Anyway going to bed in a lil tired >.<

Cheers,
Jim.
Edit: just realised this (MIGHT?) be the wrong section maybe it should be in hardware>wheels>.

I don't understand this either. I read reviews where they said: "when you change the rotation, the software will block you firmly when at the chosen rotation". But I never experienced such a thing, like you say, the feedback just drops away, instead of going firmer.

It can't be the age, it never worked from the beginning... Maybe it's a setting?
Would be nice to be able to set the wheel rotation to the incar rotation of LFS and have it block when you're at the end. At this moment when the wheel in LFS stops turning, I can turn what's left without any added force.

Try re-calibrating it in LFS with LFS on the degrees and your drivers on the degrees u need. (you`ll probably know but >esc>options>controls>axes>its on that page :thumb:)

EDIT: another idea might be to set your 'self centering' to a higher percent on your drivers.. just a thought.

Problem is, and actually I don't mind it a lot, I use 900° in LFS and windows, I just have the setting so I don't have to steer more than the LFS car (it's linear). And I do that so I don't have to change my lock every time. Should be something automatic really :D

I'm not interested in having it locked, but now this came up, I just remembered it never worked for me either.
