ForceFeedback OFF when standing still?

Rolands SvÄ“tiÅ†Å¡ · Nov 18, 2017

Hi there.

Having weird issue with AC. ForceFeedback is OFF when car is still, there is no force from turning wheel. When in movement, everything feels good. But sometimes suddenly FFB switches ON and it feels like naturally turning steering wheel in car with power steering.

Any has had same issue?

Haven't had this issue myself but apparently if the "damping" setting is set to 0 then this can happen. Is yours at 0?

AC actually stops the FFB (and I guess physics) calculation below 2 or 3 kph to avoid (by my understanding) division-by-zero-errors and the physics going wonky with those. If you stop on a slope you'll realize you car won't roll unless you go acertain speed first.

If you set some damper in your wheel's drivers you'll have resistance in the wheel on standstill, and the damper won't affect the FFB while driving. I used 50% damper on my G25 and use none now. I hardly stand still so I don't let it bother me too much.
