wheel not working correctly

[Nick Deeley]

This is more than likely down to my set up.

Just got a new computer, and have got everything setup and installed. Seeing if I got the wheel settings right at all, and I dont think I have. On my previous system, the wheel and game worked fine without any adjustments.

Outside the game, wheel seems to work fine, it turns freely and is what i would consider normal.
Inside the game, in the menus, same thing.
As soon as I get on track though, the wheel is very heavy, its like the centering spring is set at 500%. There also seems to be a delay in what happens when turning the wheel and also using the pedals.

G27 wheel and pedals. In the profiler, settings are:

Overall: 75%
Spring and dampers on 0%
Centering spring strength on 10%. Box is currently unticked, but I've tried with it ticked and got the same thing.
Combined pedals isn't ticked, and 400 degrees of rotation (how i normally have it). Box is ticked to allow the game to adjust settings. Tried it unticked and get the same problem with a very heavy wheel on track.

I've copied over my previous document settings from the old hard drive for the game itself. I didn't copy the logitech profiler settings, but I'm 90% sure its set up to how it was before.

I'm also not getting any clutch.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried the settings from the wheel settings list Nick? http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/threads/assetto-corsa-wheel-settings-list.77446/

Yeah I have. It's doing the same in rFactor2 as well though. I phoned Logitech earlier today and they're reckon its a wiring fault, so they're going to replace the wheel. Particularly as no game nor the profiler recognises there's a clutch.

Bit strange though that it's doing it as soon as I get a new system.

if it acts like that with other games then the problem can be:
. Something wrong with the wheel like Logitech is saying
. Drivers problem ... be sure you have the right logitech driver installed
. Motherboard voltage issue on the usb ports (even if they are new) ... i know some wheels malfunction due to voltage problems so try to connect the wheel into a powered usb hub or into a different usb port on the pc ... if it doesnt help just wait for replacement

It can be something else but those are the ones im aware

I did think the drivers were not installed properly, but I reinstalled them a couple of times without any success. Unless I was not installing the right ones.

The downloads there I installed. When I plugged it in, the little bubble in the bottom right appeared about installing drivers. No errors on either. Is there a driver I can manually download somewhere?

those drivers are ok ... did you try the powered usb?

EDIT:

What do you mean by no errors on either? did you install the both drivers 32 bits and 64 bits? you should install only one depending on your windows system

 

[Nick Deeley]

i mean when setting up the profiler, and when I plugged in the wheel. No errors on either of those.

Only used the USBs on the PC itself. Not got any external/powered ones (I presume thats what you mean).

I had a similar problem when I tripped over my my pedal cable and snapped the throttle wire, 20 min with a soldering iron and some heat shrink tubing should see you sorted.
