Driving Force GT Rotation Problem

[SJM1337]

This has probably been answered sometime back, but I can't spend hours and hours going through loads of topics, so here's my problem.

I just reinstalled LFS yesturday, got my wheel working with the correct rotation settings and followed some of the guides I saw in the first few topics on how to setup the wheel. It was rotating at 450 yesturday, which was perfect for my driving.

Then today when I play LFS the rotation has gone back to something like 90, even though the settings are adjusted using the Logitech Profiler, I've also tryed reinstalling the drivers.

What is the problem here, one minute its perfect next minute its gone back to 90 degrees rotation ingame...

[SJM1337]

Can anyone help please?

As you can see on the virtual steering gauge, its on full turned right, but if you look at the other thing highlighted in blue you can see the rotation is so small and dosen't go as far as it should.

So if you move the wheel a little bit to the right it starts moving completely on the steering gauge and ingame.

have a look at the main setup. it might not recognize lfs so the specific game settings wouldn't work.

I'm not too sure as I haven't got this wheel, but you should just re-plug it in again and restart lfs, recalibrate again and then lock it. Should work :schwitz:

[SJM1337]

Tryed all of this already and no luck.

Tryed re-installing, tryed re-configuring, but it dosen't want to work.

you configure the name yourself, that doesn't tell if it recognizes it or not :thumb:

unlock the axes and recalibrate, then turn the wheel as far as it goes both sides, do the pedals too. then lock the axes again. was dumb not to realize this :s

That's basically what I just told him to do :p

[SJM1337]

Yep I've already done this as well.

And if I do fix this, how can I stop it happening again?

Well first you have to know what is causing it, before you can tell how to stop it from happening.. What have you tried that we mentioned and what we didn't say?

[SJM1337]

"re-plug it in again and restart lfs, recalibrate again and then lock it."

"pecific game settings - LIVE FOR SPEED"

"unlock the axes and recalibrate, then turn the wheel as far as it goes both sides, do the pedals too. then lock the axes again. was dumb not to realize this :s"

Also tryed reinstalling the drivers and re-configuring all the settings like I set them yesturday but no luck.

In the Profiler itself, does it go to lfs.exe? Like for the Game have you adjusted lfs.exe?

[SJM1337]

Yes.

[Hahmo]

Yes.

Then I really cant think of anything else anymore :/ When I have that sort of problem I just replug the wheel and start profiler again..

[SJM1337]

These problems are very odd...

[Calzone]

Is the wheel always plugged in or do you remove it when you're not racing?

[SJM1337]

I remove it when I'm not racing.

[dadge]

i'm sure there was a combo of buttons that had to be pressed to switch between 90° and 900° driving modes. i'm not quite sure what the combo was but i'm nearly sure that's what the problem is.

[MousemanLV]

Start>Control Panel>Game Controllers.
Click on the DFGT thingy. After that, click on ''properties''>Settings>
>Degrees of rotation (set how much ya like) > Close>Ok>Ok.
Maybeh this works ?

Tryed that.

But that was before Logitech released the Profiler with DFP support, wasn't it?

[MousemanLV]

I'm using DFGT btw, so every time when I plug-in the wheel I do this>

And all works perfectly ;)

RePlugIn And FFB 0 Ingame And Its Work Fine


i had something like that 3 days ago when i got my dfgt

[SJM1337]

Right, can someone start from the beginning and tell me what I need to do, this problem is annoying and I want to use my wheel properly on LFS.

[GenesisX]

Are you sure you have ''Wheel and Controller'' selected at the top instead of keyboard/mouse?

That might be the problem.

I think you've misread the problem I'm having.

[91mason91]

I think you've misread the problem I'm having.

Most likely what Dadge posted. A long long time ago I owned a brand new Logitech DFP. For the first month I had the same problem as you. Couldn't use the wheels full rotation. Then I found out that there was a specific button combination that I had to press to enable 900degree mode.

Try find out, if it has a combination, what buttons you may need to hit.

[Minimaxman]

The DFP combination was Select R3 Right Paddle, the DFGT, however, doesn't seem to have one.

So, are you saying that if you turn the wheel 90 degrees the wheel in-game will turn 900 degress, or vice versa?

[RealDriftForLife]

I've Got a driving force, all you need to do is turn the wheel from lock to lock and then BAMM! It's done
