Force Feedback on Fanatec Podium DD2

[autobahn186]

Good morning, everyone. I've logged hundreds of hours in the game and have invested a lot of time and money into really good hardware. For a long time now, since I built my system about 3 years ago, I have had a problem with the game's force feedback system. Basically, there is a slight deadzone in the force feedback, between 0 and 5 degrees in the wheel turn, where the wheel is loose, though the steering does work. This looseness in the center feels very unrealistic and causes the wheel to wobble left and right with any bumps or trailer/truck instability.

I have spent about 50 hours trying everything to tune the settings correctly and followed the instructions from the SCS website regarding the new FFB System since 1.42.

I have a Fanatec Podium DD2 direct drive wheel and I have my wheel rotation set at 1800 degrees, to be as realistic as possible. Is it possible that the games don't have proper force feedback support for wheels that are over 900/1080 degrees and direct drive wheels? Could there be a bug or something? I am not using any non linearity and have the steering sensitivity set to maximum. A lot of other folks have posted experiences with this issue, but with no resolution.

If anyone has solutions to this, or has figured out to adjust the steering algorithm, please let me know.

Months after the 1.42 update, even owners of expensive DD devices are complaining about incorrect operation of the steering wheel in the center position with uncontrolled swaying of the steering wheel... No comment. I don't know how to help you... Is it possible to turn on the centering spring effect? I'm just amazed at the indifference of SCS in this matter...

I have been experiencing the same issue and i own a g920 so it isnt just DD wheels having these issues to be honest i kinda fixed it by messing with some settings in the config for steering from a reddit post and the optional settings from the g27 realistic ffb plugin in the forum but still ffeeling a bit of a deadzone
