truck steering constantly lurches to the right

[matthllmn]

before i go out and buy a new gaming wheel controller i was wondering if anyone else had/has a problem with their trucks randomly veering to the right. i have tried all kinds of setup configurations to stop it but nothing seems to work. When driving all of a sudden the in game steering wheel lurches uncontrolably to the right, never the left! thanks for any feed back and happy trucking!

Deadzones ? Keys pressed with an elbow / mug ?

Play around with the deadzones first. I had to adjust the deadzones settings for my controller too.

And on the same note, if your control suddenly become over sensitive, try reseting/re-calibrating the controller when that happens. Try doing that if the problem persists. Reading through the manual for your wheel for how to reset/recalibrate it if it came with one, or see if it has a GUI that allows you to reset the wheel. It should just restore the wheel to factory settings and not change your TS2 settings. While I haven't noticed this issue with ETS2, I've got it with DS2 where the left stick keeps skipping randomly.

Great. So even the expensive steering wheels are missing basic features that would allow people to fix their alignment.

You don`t say which wheel you are using...SO can`t help you

[Markus Kruber]

I'm using the Trustmaster T300RS and I've no problems. You most probably tried this already but just to make sure, have you tried to unplug everything, uninstall all driver software of your wheel and reinstall to see if that fix it? are you using the latest driver? maybe a firmwire update?

Do you have it also in other driving games or only in this one?

[matthllmn]

thanks for everyones replies, much appreciated and good to know help is out there. it appears that i bought a s**t wheel, being green about these things! so after much deliberation i am going to try a logitech driving force GT i will check out your Trustmaster T300RS as well. by the way my s**t wheel is a Betop 189 which bought here, in China, where I have been living for the last 11 years. Ifrom England. Happy Trucking and I am looking forward to playing again!

It's a sensitivity setting in the game options to prevent ghost input.

ghost input?

you gotta be kiddin' me.

[Ryu]

Not exactly. It defines an area of the movement arc to be ignored by the system/game. For steering this is done at the center-point so that your small muscle-jitters don't get translated through the steering and cause the vehicle to constantly bob back and forth when you're trying to hold a straight line.

been having the same issue using a keyboard

The truck will only steer to the side when there is an input signal. So you either have a defective keyboard or you have some controller connected to your computer that is sending a signal without you noticing it. Or you have some double bindings in the "keys and buttons" options or the "controls" options.

Before I start driving. I go into settings, turn the wheel all the way to the left, then the right. Since I have been doing this, I have had no problems.
