Driving Force GT and Sim Raceway

4 posts in this topic

Hi all

 

New to Sim racing, spent a fair amount of time on trackdays and drift days and played a lot of forza but never done the pc sim racing scene before! Made a very heath Robinson rig out of spare bits lying around and set it up with Sim raceway. The wheel however isn't working as expected.

 

When I drive my car and decide to be of drifting, once I have initiated the drift the steering wheel does half the work for you by spinning to create counter steer as long as you catch the wheel at the right angle you can then finesse the angle with throttle and steering movements! 

 

I was expecting my driving force gt wheel to do a similar thing, albeit not the same as a real car, I was expecting the force feedback to at least help with the rotation of the wheel.

 

Have I set it up wrong?

 

Many Thanks

I've never used the Sim Raceway software.

Take a look at the settings, see if there's something that affects the center spring settings and mess with that. Also the Damper setting of the wheel.

If not, check out the Logitech profiler software, see if it has the option to turn off (software or game dependent) for settings. Again Sorry, been a long time since I used a DFGT and can't remember the settings in the profiler software.

I hope you find the setting that will make everything just right.

Take care

Thanks for the response, I will try the logitech profiler, I am sure in some sim rig video's, I have seen people 'throwing/releasing' the wheel then catching it later just like I would in real life so it must be possible!

If Sim Raceway has it's own forums, that might be the place to ask since this seems to be dependent on that one sim?

Hope you get it working soon.

Take care
