well the long and short of it is...

Even when stationary, on a flat surface with the hand brake on... My wheel bounces from left to right constantly?

I've tried every combination of settings I can think of.
Is there an in depth description of what'd the 2 settings do, and what there relation Is to each other.

Aldo, what are you "belt" driven wheel users using "in game" settings?

Any advice is welcome, I can't play it "as-is" so hoping the vets can help :)
 
Not sure if Brad Pitt can help you in this instance:sly:

But seriously. We can help with more info.

1. What wheel do you have?

2. How long have you had the wheel and/or are you new to using a wheel?

3. Have you a fully updated game, up to and past update 1.12?

4. What current Torque and Sensitivity settings are you using for said wheel?

Look through these two threads and it may put your mind at rest at least:

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/ffb-1-12-update.317019/#post-10077222

In general, dependent on the wheels quality they do show this behaviour, it's not the same as driving a real car. They are simulating it, some have deadzones that can be profiled/tweaked which I've heard nullifies this to a certain extent. It could also be PD's FFB design.

I use a DFGT and it took me a little while to get used to actually having to hold the wheel steady, now my feel is such that I know when I can drive with no hands at certain instances.

An update introduced the Torque and Sensitivity settings for wheels users and I've read that some people thought it trashed their FFB, others that it improved it, weakened it substantially, made it too strong whatever settings, but that seems to have died down now, as per usual, humans adapt. That's more likely what you will just need to do.


If the answer to question 2 is not long and yes I am new to a wheel, then read through the threads and it'll be a case of getting use to a sim wheel really.

Also, the mods may recommend you to ask this in the Sim Hardware Forum. You have been warned.

Can you post a quick video from a phone?
 
Hey,

I can try to post a video soon, but for now the video below demonstrates it if you look carefully.



When he stops the care in GT5 the wheel has no movement.
When he stops the car in GT6 is bounces from left to right. On my wheel CSWV2 it does it even more violently. Had my wheel since Xmas and not new to wheels, but this force feedback is screwed up. Severely.

Tested GR5/Grid Auto/ F1 2014 etc and the wheel is spectacular. But GT6 just feels like it's going mental and has no clue on what it's doing.

It bounces left to right, but as time goes on it actually perpetuates like a pendulum getting stronger and stronger.

In the video above you can see GT5 wheel is not oscillating, at all, under any circumstances.

Watch when he moves to GT6 (ignore the fact he is reporting a seperate error) and watch the red strip on the top centre of the wheel when the car is completely stationary (before he tests the power steering and even after/during) the car is stationery, but the wheel bounces left to right.

For him it's not so bad, but present. For me it's very pronounced. I literally can't play the game because of this? I can move back to GT5 no problem, but why did they break this and ruin a pretty decent game that I enjoyed and can now no longer invest in?

Also, I font get the brad pitt reference? I'm confused :)

I'm using all the latest updates, patches, firmware etc.
I have tried every combination of settings, but after exhaustive testing, I have settled on using torque 3 or 4 and sensitivity on 1 (this gives me the least ossicaltion, any higher and it goes absolutely ballistic), and I means seriously outrageously insanely fast and hard, bouncing from left to right even when stationary?

I have steering set to simulation and all aids off, I have power steering disabled and have tried all settings on my wheel (even tried setting at 100 dead zone) and this did nothing? The wheel had a big deadzone for actually turning, but the oscillation was still present.


If it's knackckered, so be it... I'll just play GT5 but what have they fine, why and instead of breaking it like this to suit a few, why not have an option for "original feedback" and "advanced feedback" where users can stick to the original (and universally acclaimed default feedback, while others can tweak if they want to.

Doing this has only resolved a few issues for sone, while creating new issues for others? Don't remove features, add to them by creating an "advanced" option.

Love the game, but unfortunately it's just unplayable in its current format and I'm hoping for a fix/solution or even a work around in the short term.
 
Sorry bud, Brads character in Inglourious Basterds is Aldo Rayne. I know you meant also.

Might be worth moving this to here seeing as you have a Fanatec, and I have not heard any problems with those wheels:
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/board/sim-racing-hardware.163/

Not sure what's going on with the vid guys T500, but it all looks very spongy. It seems to hardly move at the point you mention but of course it shouldn't happen with the handbrake on!!!!

I can tell you that my DFGT would act ten times more crazily if I stopped (foot brake) then let it roll across and off a cambered piece of track?!!

Sorry I can't help mate, best ask in the right place above, unless somebody more equipped helps from here.

@BrandonW77 might be able to help you. Brandon! Could you help? He has a Fanatec.
