Logitech driving force GT wheel rotation problem

[Pathfinder]

I setup my DFGT wheel to have 900 degrees wheel rotation in the Logitech profiler and ingame.
The ingame setting clearly shows I have 900 degrees wheel rotation, but when I am in the car the wheel is again locked to 200 degrees. So the 200 degrees on the steering wheel translates to whatever is the car's full wheel rotation. This means I turn a little bit of the steering wheel and I see a lot more wheel movement on screen.
Anybody got any ideas?
Help is appreciated thanks.

dfgt are said to suffer from getting stuck in legacy mode. They are primarily PS3-wheels. I do not own a dfgt - but there should be a hard-coded sequence of button-presses or some other sfotware-setting to enable their full window of movement.

Other possible point of failure: when the logitech profiler is installed and running, individual game-profiles do overwrite global settings. You sure that there is no profile set for acs.exe?
Which is the third point of failure: assetto-corsa.exe is the menu-system / launcher. The true simulation part is "acs.exe" - which needs it's own profile should you chose to use the profiler

You can also chose to disable/ shut-down the profiler-background process completely: then the global driver-settings stay persistent no matter what game you are running.

The 4th point of failure would be running the wheel without any driver/profiler software downloadable from logitech.com (make sure you have the most up-to-date version of that profiler running)


disclaimer: I use an old G25 myself, so no first-hand XP with the DFGT.

I often have a problem with the logitech profiler settings not taking.

Especially if the computer awakes from sleep when the wheel is still plugged in. Somehow the wheel reverts to 270 degrees.

I just alt-tab and go into the profiler, slide the rotation back and forth (i.e change it from 900 and then back) and then hit OK. Or you can access these settings by going to 'devices and printers', right clicking 'Driving force GT' and choosing 'game controller settings'

Bear in mind though that the game will reduce the steering lock from 900 degrees as appropriate for each car, although it doesn't actually lock the wheel.

The game recognises the full 900 degree rotation as I mentioned before, so the wheel is working good. The problem only starts when I start driving. The wheel is locked to 200 degree when driving. What I see in the controller setting menu is not the same as when I am driving.
Something is wrong with this game.

did you read my info on the "two parts" of the game? That should be your focus in error-research.
Other than that: is the power plugged in? Did you change usb-ports perhaps? Some usb-hubs can cause eradic behaviour as well as Windows does not like for the user to use ever-different ports for one piece of hardware. Wants to "reinstall" stuff every time you change a friggin' port.

This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game sux. I played a bit of my old GTR2 and it was so much better.
The car feels better, the steering works properly, and the force feedback is just right.
Asseto Corsa, the car understeears like a pig, the steering can't be calibrated properly, and the force feedback feels like gonna destroy my wheel anytime. What kinda CRAP is this SH1T!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!

Thanks for telling us that it won't work for you.

Hint: google for "force feedback clipping" and then pay attention to the pedals-app in-game: the bar on the right should not turn red too often, which indicates 100% saturation for ffb-force.

Ye apparently I needed to set the Logitech profiler to point to acs.exe as the game launch file not the file with the graphical icon.

Told you *lol*

Now, just give the game a little more time, find your prefered ffb-settings and ENJOY!
Really, the UI, as pretty as it appears at first, can be a little flimsy and confusing, at times. Make sure not to give up to soon. It's Italian. It NEEDS YOU to make it work. Once you find your own sweet-spot you will be in for a treat!

Yes this game requires a lot of tweaking, but it still rocks.

You say the problem only occurs when you jump into a car. Does it happen on each car the 200 degree lock or does it vary car to car?
I only ask because what you're required to do is set the wheel to it's maximum, in your case 900 but then the game automatically adjusts the steering lock depending on the car.
So cars have 900, some have I think 760 and I think the lotus formula car has I think 270.
The game does adjust the lock maybe that's what you're experiencing?

Ohh I just read your 2nd last comment. Well good to see it's working I hope you enjoy it.

Funny thing is when I used the Asseto Corsa file as the launch file, the ingame controller setup actually detected my wheel as having 900 degree rotation, but in the car it locked to 200 degree, and after I changed the launch file to acs.exe, the ingame controller setup detected only 200 degree in the configuration wizard, I had to manually set it to 900 degree, then the wheel was unlocked when driving and only then was my steering wheel movement matched what was on the screen.
I think this is a little bug, it's minor but for those who can't figure it out it can ruin the game.

Just some info. I have the DFGT and from the first moment I've got the 900º.

[Pathfinder]

Good for you.
Maybe I don't have the latest device driver or the Logitech profiler software.
I am really enjoying this game.
