steering wheel help?

[The3dgrizzly]

i got the game and my logitech driving force gt (usb) is really stiff to the point where i cant turn it, however it works on all other games e.g. ats or ets any ideas why?

We also found the same thing using our G29. First we opened options and reduced the force feedback gain, which helped. However, I think the reason the wheel is stiffer is because you need to be moving before steering becomes easier. I think the game is simulating stiffer steering when "dry steering" or steering when the truck is stationary. Saying that, even when moving there is still more feedback compared to ETS2.

I am a bit late, I know. But if anyone's (else) is still in need of help, I might have a few general pointers. What are the settings in Logitech Profiler under general device settings? You could try altering the settings there. Mine with G27 are set to:

Overall effect strength: 75
Spring effect strenght: 50
Damper effect strength: 100
Enable centering spring: On
Centering spring strenght: 1

I mostly use the same for most of my racing games. Sometimes I lower the "Overall Effect Strenght" if the steering feels too heavy. The one playing Truck Driving Simulators is my wife as she's a logistics student! :)

Also what M-A-G said before, it's true that the truck is harder to steer when stationary. When moving at least a bit it's way easier to turn the wheels. Brings memories when I was driving my Saab 900 without power steering. Good times!
