I need help, I need lots of help. My forcefeedback doesnt work, even though my pedals and steering wheel works. I have right driver and I`ve tested LFS forcefeedback settings but it doesn`t work. My wheel IS forcefeedback :nod:

Should there be shaking on steeringwheel if you drive to gravel or to grass? becouse mine isn`t shaking :(

First and foremost - press . and , in LFS (< and > without the shift). If the wheels gets stiffer/lighter, then your force feedback is working. If not, then it isn't.

The wheel MIGHT shake a bit on gravel, but's not a canned effect -
if(roadsurface)=!gravel
then call(wheel_shake2)

or however it might be programmed. It's done on the forces on the steering column in real time. Does the wheel ever move about?

Sorry to treat you like an idiot, but with your post it's hard to know how much you actually know about computer/LFS/force feedback/driving, so I thought I'd start basic.

Do I have to put these if(roadsurface)=!gravel then call(wheel_shake2) to talk screen? or was it just an example?

Good thing that you treat me like an idiot :D becouse I don`t know much about combination of LFS and FF steering wheel. But I`ll try that . and , thing.

No, the example programming was what LFS doesn't do. It's all done real time from the forces that would act on the steering column in real life.

Try . and , and report back.

I'm hoping someone who has (or had) one of these wheels can post anything I don't know, as I have a different wheel.

Go to control panel > Game Controlers select the wheel and click advanced, you should get the test page where pressing buttons on your wheel triggers force feedback effects, try that and post if it works here.

The only other thing I can think of is is the power lead attached correctly?

everythings fine :nod: I just wasn`t sure about that force feedback, it works :)

Oh yeah, and when I put more FF power my steering wheel starts shaking from side to side even in 5%

I have Logitech`s own driver which I used to calibrate my steering wheel X)

I don't know if your wheel has the same settings, but if it does, try this.

Windows Control Panel -> Game Controllers ---> Settings
