Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP - mind of its own !

[sjtezray]

Realise it's a pretty old wheel but cash is short to replace. It works fine with LFS and Race07 but with Stockcar it wobbles from 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock while the car is sitting in the garage and it's not really drive able on track. If I turn down the force feedback then it's useable (still wobbles a fraction) but of course there is then no feedback, which was the main reason I bought the game following the great reviews..

Have read various things on Profiler setup but none mention the wheel turning left/right while stationary ! Anyone using one of these wheels without issue? Many thanks all

Have you tried negative force feedback? It's a 'Logitech' thing and has always worked with my FFGP. Note that I haven't yet used it since the 1.5 updates but it should be the same and can apply to other sims too.

In terms of the Profiler software, nothing special there – except that with both Windows 7 and then 8, it always took a specific version to get the wheel working (64-bit 5.10.127).

Cheers Slim...will give it a go tomorrow...fingers crossed!

Hmmm...maybe my wheel is dying. I have the right profiler version, specific game settings set to all untucked except "allow game to adjust settings"
Then in game I select the preset wheel option "Logitech WingmanFF"
The force feedback defaults to -75% and I have tried "force feedback effects" from low to full but the wheel still shakes side to side in pits
I can stop it by changing the dead zone setting, but then the car is hopeless to steer....slow to react.
Guess I will have to go back to Race07 :(

Are you using a new profile in-game? A custom config for your wheel would be a second option.

I can't say how soon it will be but I'll try to get my wheel connected and see how things go here.

Have not tried a completely new profile, only the Logitech Wingamn FF setting that I then tried tweaking. Be interesting to see how yours goes.

Hi....if Slim was able to test his Wingman FF I would be keen to know how he went as have spent 4 hours today trying all sorts of settings but unless I set "force feedback effects" to "off" the wheel moves all over the place..eg sharp left or right when going along straigh. Have tried "force feedback strength" as both minus and plus...neither work :(
in profiler and Race07 the when doesn't rotate left/right so am guessing the wheel is ok, just that it doesn't seem to work with SCE unfortunately

Hi, guys.

I finally got to have a test run with my FFGP wheel yesterday.

This evening, I hope to proof-read some suggestions and check that I have the correct names and placement for the Control Panel and Logitech Profiler settings.

There were no problems running the latest version of Stock Car Extreme beyond the wheel dropping out as my 360 controller also does from time to time and one mod that needed the feedback reversing so that it was positive. As the wheel worked as well as it could last night, I'm hoping that we can find the missing piece in order to get your wheels working like this too.

It's too early to say if I'll return hours or days away from now, but I'll definitely be back with some explanations and a procedure for everything from the Control Panel to the game menus. Most of that post is already written, in fact. It needs that read-through and, ideally, another test before I add it to the thread.

A lot of these wheel problems are brought about by the presets; I get problems even with an expensive wheel like the T500rs if I use, presets.
Any wheel I have had (many) I have always ended up doing a "custom" set in game and all is well, 99.9% of the time...also, I like to choose what buttons do what on the wheel.

I do now have a useable setup thanks to one of the guys on here. Still a bit of steering jiggle when static in pits but ok once on the move, for what is an old wheel.
Logitec settings i am using
Specific game settings
Overall effects strength - 105
Spring effect - 0
Damper effect - 0
Enable centering spring - blank
Use special wheel settings - blank
Use special game settings - ticked
Allow game to adjust settings - ticked

Something i dont get is the steering degree settings in game. This wheel only rotate 180 degrees so what should i set things at for the Metalmoro (dont care about the graphic steering wheel as that is turned off)....thanks all
