Steering Wheel trouble

[Megalodon]

Hello Veterans of this game, I have just tried to start using my Logitech G27 wheel and i can't seem to get it to work properly. I only want to use it for the actual driving and it shows up in the options menu as Control 2. I enable game pad/controllers in the main options menu and enter the game but all I do is spin around in a clockwise direction, no matter which vehicle or on foot I go to I still just spin in circles, I cannot make it stop. Has anyone else had this trouble and if so what was the fix for it. I have looked at all the options and can't see any way to make the wheel control number 1 and I can't stop the spinning. I have tried using the logitech game controls in windows and it doesn't change anything either. I can play with keyboard and mouse but thought the wheel would be nice for the driving of the tractors.

set the deadzone in options>controls2

Tried setting all dead zones to 0....no effect at all, still just spin in circles, guess its mouse/keyboard all the time, ty

0 deadzone is no good, set something like 0.14 for starters. it is not like a real steering wheel they are digital axes and have overlap.

Hi there.

First off I have a g920 so my advice may not be completely relevant as I don't have first hand experience with the 27.

Is it your camera spinning or are you physically moving?

One thing to try is connecting the controller, enableing it and then going through the options deleteing all the controls bound to it. Then go back and add controls slowly testing what happens each time (similar to finding which mods are conflicting). Sounds as if something is out/double bound.

Also just to check you have LGS installed and setup? Failing rebinding in game you could use the software to configure a profile for fs and see if that helps.

Hope thats of some help to you,
Cheers

Have tried the profiler and it didnt help, and it appears to be me spinning in a circle but when swapping to a vehicle the view inside is spinning, this seems to be more trouble than what its worth so I will end up using the mouse/keyboard like I have since Farming 2013. The default setup for dead zones is about 16 I believe and that wasn't working to begin with. Thanks for the assistance but I will stick with Mouse I guess, I was just trying out the wheel in this game because I already had it connected for use in Dirt Rally.

No worries, sorry you couldn't get it working. But then again keyboard and mouse isn't too bad, especially of your used to it.

Happy farming :)

I really wish they would allow contoller profiles in the game that you could switch between.
So if I want to use just a mouse and keyboard I could select controller profile A. If I want to use my Xbox controller, I could select profile B, wheel profile C. Or even a combination of wheel and Xbox controller could be profile D. Any profile should be pickable for the same game save.

As far as your spinning, you could have one of the pedals set to pan the view. I believe that is what I had as well. I think it was set to my clutch. If I held the clutch half way down, it would stop spinning. If I pushed it all the way down, it would spin the other way. You just have to change that option in the controller settings.

That makes sense. I had that once with a different game where the camera bound itself to my joystick throttle. That sounds like your best bet for the problem.
