programming new steering wheel

[ccthetrucker33]

i just got a steering wheel,pedals & shifter for this game,there is no clutch pedal,the shifter,you just push it forward & pull it back for gear changes,its easy to program into the game,but the buttons on it are weird,this steering wheel works with PC,PS2,PS3,& xbox 360,i got it to work with the game,the pedals & shifter work great,but my issue is steering,if my truck is moving forward at any speed,in any gear,& the road is straight,(with traffic offenses off) if i put the gas to the floor & don't touch the steering wheel & the wheel is straight,the truck will just go perfectly straight & it won't pull to either side,same backing up,my problem is turning at any speed & curves,i can get it to turn & go around the curve,but after it turns it pulls to far the way i'm turning & i have trouble getting the truck to straighten out & go straight ahead & when i get it to start straighten out it will pull the other way,this is the same with curves,i've been playing with the steering settings & i'm getting close to fixing it,but if anyone who knows how to set it so its the right way,please let me know

Set the following:

Steering sensitivity = 100% (full right)
Non-linearity = 0% (full left)

Steering = Centred
Accelerator = Inverted
Brake = Inverted

Make sure the wheel is set in windows also...

steering wheel issues #2

i tried those settings,its still doing it,manily around curves,lane changes & keeping it in my lane,i also tried 2 others that i saw & samething

What steering wheel do you have and does it have a 900 degree rotation? Please provide details of the model and manufacturer.

its a 4-in 1 vibration steering wheel for H360 PS3,PS2,PC USB its only gives me 180 degree steering right now,for the money i get until my new rep payee takes over,then i MAY be able to get a better one,it works great & easy to program,but it seems that the steering settings i saw above are working better,but only in the cities with low speed limits,i had the traffic offenses to test it in the city by gunning it straight forward on the street,& it seems to keep straight & somehow i kept it in my lane now,& turning isint that hard anymore,& i can keep it straight & turn in R,now my problem is merging on freeways on & off & keep it in my lane & go around curves at freeway speeds,the same on country roads with high speed limits,so how can i fix it until i can buy a better one,if i need to adjust the settings for this one until then,how do i set it

You will have to experiment with the non-linearity just try adjusting that until you find the best setting. The problem is the game is set up for a wheel to have 900 degree rotation and the settings I gave above are for 900 degree rotation.

It is just trial and error until you find the settings which suit you. I am sorry I can't give more advice about the settings. Hopefully, someone who has the same wheel or the same rotation might be able to give advice.

When it does come time to buy a better wheel save your money and buy the best you can afford. My recommendation is a Thrustmaster. I have had Thrustmaster and Logitech wheels and the Thrustmaster are a superior wheel both in quality and how they are in ATS and ETS2. They are belt driven so they are smooth to turn and are good on rough surfaces whereas the Logitech are notchy and rattle. They also have better software and better FFB in ATS and ETS2 as well.

Anyway, I hope you can get your current wheel workng well in the game. Just a bit more advice. Make sure your wheel is plugged into a USB2 port directly on your computer and not a USB3 port or a USB-hub. I am not sure if your wheel has software to download or it is plug and play but if it has software make sure you download and install it.

ive been messing around with ALL of the settings while doing test drives,the settings i have now seem to work great in cities,they arent working too good on country roads & freeways,since i had this game even before i had the wheel that was the main issue,in my eyes,i think the speed limits are to high,where i live,freeways are 55-70MPH country roads are 40-55MPH,the freeways in the game are fine,the country roads are too fast,so the settings that work good for me in the city are as followed,the 2 main steering sliders,top:far left,bottom:far right,force feedback:off,dead zone:just alittle bit to the right. thats the city,so how do i fix it for country roads & freeways
