I recall see a post somewhere on the forum, the dev said something about the steering wheel try centering it see if makes any difference ?

Thanks Paul, I'll give it a go. When you back on mate? I feel the need to give you a love tap or three.

The latest hotfix may have cured some of the controller issues, won't have time to test myself for a few days.

 

[Denis Betty]

Mouse control keeps breaking down. Cursor becomes invisible. Tried the above. Works for a few minutes, then problem returns. No pedals or controls depressed/activated. Cheers.

Fixed.

It still says on the steam wreckfest page partial controller support...

it should say full controller support and more...

Thanks for the guide Paul, excellent write-up.

Good point Rupe, we'll fix that right away

The latest hotfixes should have fixed most controller issues. The dumb automatic binding for all DirectInput controllers was removed so hopefully there's no need to revert everything to default anymore to remove conflicting bindings the first time you start the game.

Mouse cursor should now work as in most other titles.

It looks like users with CSW V2.5 are experiencing an issue with bindings not being saved but we're not sure whether that is related to drivers or what. Unfortunately we don't have V2.5 yet so any fixes we do are kind of shots in the dark. As a temporary workaround, you could try setting the controller setup file as read-only.

@Arcon
have you tried the above
and you also have another issue with the fanatec shifter..
i thought it was fixed sorry.

@Rupe Wilson
Hey, thanks for the hint but im afraid to tell that the game still looses the setup after setting the files to read-only in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\145564\228380\local\wreckfest early access\controllers. I'll have to wait till they can fix it. @jannesBB if i can support you with details or in any other way let me know!

cheers

Settings for force feedback wheels an pedals

Edit : 02/07/2018
After some tweaking an game Dev recommdations, I found the the magic number for saturation settings is 50%. This should give you a good 1/1 ratio for your controls.

Please share your settings for your wheel an pedal combos

I am having a different issue albeit similar to this, when i go to calibrate / set up controls, i am only seeing a few of my controllers, i am not able to see my OSW, my pedals or shifter.

I have a multi use simpit that has many controllers setup. OSW (simucube), T3PA pro pedals (ran through USB adapter), TH8A shifter, 2X DSD button boxes, 2XThrustmaster MFD's, Thrustmaster T-Rudders (also with usb adapter) Warthog throttle and stick. home built button box on wheel using a Teensy controller board.

when i go to set up my controls, i get one of the DSD boxes, my warthog throttle and stick, and the teensy button box as available controls.

(edit) it appears to be taking the first 4 controllers in the "game controllers control panel"

i already tried to delete the folder referenced in post 16, that did not however help me. any sugestions? (disconnectiong unused controllers is not practical with my simrig setup.

Thanks in advance guys (been playing for years when i had my TX, took some time away for other games, now that we are close to a finished project i was wanting to give it another try)

Saw a post on Reddit last night, with video reference wheel saturation setting for new game.. The OP set it to 45% which seems low but is very responsive, quick testing showed a better 1-1 feel. Thinking that the in game rotation is quite low, an may have been updated in the new build?

 

[Paul Bennett]

Jannes the Dev, has recommended 50% as well for wheel users. There was a settings reset in the new game.

 

[RasmusP]

On g27, I use 45% saturation with 90% ffb strength. Driver all set to default (and 900 degrees).
Not the best but it's fun and drives will! It's good enough to never go back to the gamepad

 

[Metla]

I reduced my G27 rotation to 360 degrees and the FFB down to 66 percent, I might try cranking it back up and adjusting the saturation.

Though more then likely I will instantly forget as soon as I click on something else that takes my fancy.

 

[Paul Bennett]

I'm at 900 rotation / 51% saturation/ FFB 70, Thrustmaster TX
Did a few races last night seems okay.

 

[Metla]

Just tried the 45% saturation, Much better then my backyard attempt.

 

[RasmusP]

Wreckfest "saturation" equals exactly the rotation in the driver! Just without the need to alter any driver settings for each game
Important here: the lower the rotation gets, the stronger the FFB gets compressed somehow!
So 50% ffb strength with 450° is more or less the same ffb as 100% strength with 900°!

How many USB controls do you have?

 

[Dennis Johnson]

How many USB controls do you have?

Osw wheel, Fanatec Shifter, Fanatec Handbrake, Fanatec V3 pedals, Wind Simulator fans, Cv1 , two sensors, Simracing USB adapter for Fanatec rims
