My wheel is Saitek r440 and force feed back didnt work properly in this game.
When ffb is turned on, wheel starts jinggle by self and jinggles even then ,when the car is stopped. How can I fix it?

I don't have a R440, but from what I read try the following:
About 50% to all forces in the windows control panel
Lowish forces in LFS (~30-40%?)
High wheel turn compensations (close to 1.00)

This trick doesnt work. A wheel still jinggles and when i stop the car it roll up to the right or left and when I try to move it to the center, wheel roll up to the right or left again :shrug:

Hmm, try inverting the forces. There should be an option somewhere in the control panel.

also try recalibrating the wheel in game.
go to options -> controls -> FF/Axis -> Recalibrate Axis
turn the wheel left and then right and then do the pedals. not sure if this will help you but it might so could be worth a try. if youve already done it then dont bother.

I have the same problem with my Logitech Wingman FFGP. There is some hardware play in it, which I think is source of the problem.
The position sensor (potentiometer? Transducer? No idea in my wheel) detects that the wheel is outside of the position that it believes it should be, and activates a motor to move it to the correct position. Because there is play in the wheel, the momentum from being moved to the correct position carries it BEYOND the correct position, and the motor activates in the opposite direction to re-compensate. Here begins the cycle that you witness, where the wheel moves from side to side without being touched.
I have no idea what the solution is, if there even is one. I just grip like mad, and when I get up from my seat without pitting/spectating, I hit Esc to get the side menu, which subsequently disables the FF motors.
If anyone has any good ideas short of buying a decent wheel (skint here!), to solve this problem, I'd be delighted to hear too!

i actually fixed my oscillation problem when i exchanged my wheel at the shop i got it, i had a problem with the hardware, only when i was looking at the semi circle with the red dot, in the options menu, did i notice a "skipping" of the wheel when turning it. this made my wheel go off center, it might be linked i dont know, but when i got the new wheel, recalibrated it properly both problems went away.
