Hi people from GT Plantet. As you can see, that's my firts post.
I am owner of a 6 months old DFGT, which I use on both PC and PS3.
I'm in need of some advices/tools/schematics to solve my off-center problem

I tried to ask for help on Logitech Support, but they told me my problem was normal

NORMAL.
NORMAL.
So they ''recommended'' to find someone trused by me to put it on the center again, but I live on a jungle called Brazil, and no one here in SP would put the hands on my steering wheel for less than half of the price of a new DFGT.
I'll open it. (?)

Can anyone advice me?
 
Welcome to GTPlanet 👍 Is it off center on both PC and PS3? My DFGT wouldn't center on my PC, but it worked fine on PS3.
 
Yes, it is. So all we can conclude the issue's mechanical. But logitech's refusing to help me.....

I'd like to find a map to open my wheel and fix it by myself with maybe help from any uncle.....dunno.
 
Windows shows it on ''+1'' when the wheel is on the real center.
Anyway, that's just a little, but it wasn't like that and i'm really annoyed

My DFGT is probably 1 Degree of center too but never bothered me to be honnest.

Is that all? What you could do is make a thin wedge (maybe coins) to put under one side of your wheel.

Sorry, I didn't get you. Could you please explain it again?

If your wheel off center by one degree then raising the right side of the wheel base one degree would make the wheel itself center at 0 degrees. :)

The Fanatec wheels does give you the option of re-centering the wheel. I just check my Gt2 which I centered when I first got it and now it's off center by -1 degrees. Probably with time most of these wheels will go off center a degree.
 
I know quite a few people who have this same issue (myself included) and it is normal unfortunately. But it doesn't seem to affect performance. Just remember, it's at least 50% off of any other wheel in production, so you get what you pay for :indiff:

I'll stay with it untill somebody go to USA, then i'll buy a 911 from fanatec.....160 dollars is a very good price.

The best of logitech are the 3 year warranty......love it.
