DFGT and curb feedback?

[squeakD]

Just curious if this is the norm. I have a DFGT that I use for GT5. The FF is great on this wheel too. However.., curb feedback is either extremely weak or in some cases non-existent. Not really feeling the rumble that should be there.

Is this just how GT5 is? Other PS3 racing titles I have do quite well with it.., so I know it's not a faulty wheel. Was it stronger at one time (in previous updates)?

Not sure why yours feels that way sometimes it feels like it will pull the wheel out of my hand when I catch a curb.

Same here il hit a high kurb & the wheel will go nutz

What setting is it on? Mine is on 'Simulation' and no power steering with FFB on 7.

These settings for me strike a real good balance, just don't damage the car too much or it turns nasty, feels & sounds like an angry damaged machine gun!!

I actually unplug the force feedback. It makes the wheel super light and zippy!

If I hit a high curb my wheel reacts as it should. For me the problem is when using the lower (stripe) curbs going into or out of a turn. The feedback (rumble feedback) just isn't there.

It becomes a problem when you're going tight into a turn and take advantage of the curb. You can be right on top of it and have little to no rumble effect to let you know where your tires are. Sometimes I push a car literally to the edge on them.., but at times lose my back end because the rumble feedback isn't letting me know where I am on those curbs.

I feel the same thing on my GT3RS. Curbs will push you around as they should, but there is no physical sensation when on curbs that are effectively just rumble strips. It doesn't generally cause a problem as I can still hear it, but it is a little unusual. There are even a couple that don't even make a sound - one in particular leading onto the dogleg "straight" on the Nürburgring GP/DTM track drives me a bit nuts.

On my DFGT, I thought the curbs were too intrusive. I ran my DFGT at 3-5 FFB with power steering. I would check your setting and power supply to make sure its delivering the right power for the wheel.

There is no simulation mode support for the DFGT, nor Amateur or Professional (i think that's what it was). They don't apply to the DFGT.

If one isn't getting FFB from the DFGT over curbs it's possible the power steering is turned on and that could be affecting it. My PS is off and I feel every bump on every curve and hear it too.

I don't believe that's true, these modes should apply to any wheel. When your in the options tab for the wheels choose the first wheel icon, these are global setting for all wheels. When you select DFGT you are only mapping the buttons.

i loved the curb feel with my dfgt ffb on 9. it was strong and very realistic. now im using a g27 and curb feel is very weak. if the g27 pedals werent so amazing i might have switched back.

Its not just you brother, I too have exactly the same experience.

Full resistence to the corner, then hit the curb and it goes sloppy. I can still control it, but the resistence is gone, so I don't know how the car feels about the curb.

Then the corner straightens and as the tire/s move off the rumble strip it behaves normally again.

I just thought it was suppost to do this, but in retrospect, a rumble sensation would be awesome.

Sorry to hijack here, as a side question, turning power steering on is the most realistic isn't it? Just like having ABS to 1 for most cars and off for cars that didn't have it - right?

DFGT does NOT support this
You can select simulation but it does not affect anything.

Your wrong i have dfgt if it isnt on simulation my car always trying to correct itself i drift alot & can feel that in the ffb , do some more tests.💡

 

[genius73]

power steering will move the wheel to correct itself, very annoying.

Use the search tool...it has been all over these boards since the game came out. It does not work on DFGT

Here's a couple responses:
1)Simulation settings have no affect on the DFGT. You'll notice when you highlight this setting in game the picture of the DFGT will dim.

That's exactly right. Setting the wheel to simulation has no affect on the DFGT because the wheel is grayed out when selecting this option. I've tried it.

2)Steering type : Simulation (from what I understand, DFGT use simulation by default, this setting is avalible but can be used only by 3 other wheels (not DFGT)) I set it to "Simulation" anyway.

I got the DFGT, but i want to know, what diference is in Novice, Simulation or Profesional Mode in GT5
Those setting don't affect the DFGT, it is shaded out and highlights two older wheels when selecting it.


Oh and for you cute little:idea: Here's one for you

From what I understand, the settings effect how easy it is to save a car [novice helps you correct it, proffesional less, simulation none] and it also determines the force you feel making sharp moves on the wheel [novice less force needed simulation more].

I use the DFGT, and when I changed it to Simulation, it felt a bit different going straight, but I'm guessing that it was more of a placebo effect because it still feels the same as day 1

 

[genius73]

go to wheel settings at main screen. not gt mode and wheel sim, amat or pro can be changed.

Steering type affects all wheels with 900 degrees of rotation, it's basically an aid which helps with the countersteering, it doesn't steer for you (Active Steering does that) it just reduces the angle of rotation for countersteering.
Tell me please, why would you need countersteering assist with a 200 degree wheel (DF, GT Force and DFEX are 200 or even less)? It'd be an equivalent of having TCS on Fiat 500 (the old one).

Also, power steering is just that - power steering.

Haha i still disagree with you and anyone else that has made threads about this💡

 

[ISLYDWAYZI]

i have to agree with rayy by sayin that yes and most definatel iot makes a difference. when i first started drifting i had my wheelsettings (DFGT) on professional, and i was having ridiculous times at learning to drift until a friend told me to try switching it to simulation and vuala i was able to drift and feel the car like everything was made golden. the feedback was predictable and normal, the steering was smooth, well as smooth as can be for dfgt, but it wasnt abusing my car in ways i didnt want it to... i was there bro, im telling you, put it on sim with no PS and it will feel a world better
