Soft lock?

[Yapci]

Is there Any option to activate this? Or isnt implemented yet? Thought 1.3 was the release for this but dont see anything in game and I Can turn 900° the g27 with every car...

When I activate the soft lock, the wheel shakes violently whenever I reach the lock. Anyone else has the same problem?

It's not too violent here, with Fanatec, but could be a lot more subtle. IIRC, Pcars uses the Spring force to simulate soft-lock and it feels nice, but then, I don't think it's able to separate spring force for the intended soft-lock, and regular spring force generated from working the car.

Yes, I have this same violent shaking with SOFT_LOCK=1
It is unusable. Had to turn it back off.

This needs to be seriously fixed soon!

Since when is it ideal to sit there banging off the lock in a Corner. If you found the Lock point in a corner your likely understeering the Shi* outta the front end and in general Going TOO fast.

I think the point is just having a proper soft lock option that doesn't "bounce", so that we know when we've reached max lock. It changes between cars so it's nice to know when you're at the limit.

Thank you Ross. A sane reply to a ridiculous one.

By manipulating the settings below I am able to get any car to feel 'just right'.

[CONTROLS]
FFMULT=1.9
STEER_ASSIST=0.40
STEER_LOCK=520
STEER_RATIO=18
LINEAR_STEER_ROD_RATIO=0.00240

What file is this in would like to try these settings out plz.

Having soft lock issues with AC and my CSR. I could have sworn it worked, and then one day, I fired up AC before calibrating the wheel, and everything went to crap. The cars felt as if the DOR has been stretched out, and it took an additional 90° of rotation to get the cars turning. On center felt limp and the FFB was placing random bumps everywhere. On track it felt like I was driving in the grass. I closed the game, restarted the computer, and things returned to normal, except soft lock went away. Now I'm trying to race, but I miss having the wheel stop turning when the car reaches its maximum turning angle. This is exceptionally frustrating with the Tatuus, one of my favorite cars in the game.

So I changed the setting in Assetto Corsa as per, the suggestion to do so on the first page of this thread. It works fine. The bumping at the limit isn't so bad. The Tatuus felt great. Thanks everyone.

Aside from the aggressive feeling soft lock, the wheel pretty much feels the same. maybe my wheel has a part to play in it? On top of that, it's not much of a problem. I assume one isn't supposed to ride the soft lock, at least I don't. I use it as a reminder to know that I am at the end of the steering rack.

My CSR also doesn't have an "Aut" setting, unless that means "Off". Even on the Fanatec wheel driver software, it says "Aut". I was thinking my wheel was defective for a while.

I know what soft lock is and what it's supposed to be, but it doesn't lock my g27, so it doesn't work for me. Don't know why but it just turns 900degrees no matter what car I use...

It's a similar feeling but the wheel stops earlier with soft lock enabled.
There are no reason why you should keep turning your wheel once you've passed the maximum lock since the wheels wont turn any further.
