Haadee#525 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hi I just got my logitech momo racing wheel yesterday,but i think i've some problems. I guess its in the force feedback configuration or something. When i drive heat or Rfactor after a while the steer goes to the left,and stays there. anyone got the same or knows how to fix it ? and i thought force feedback was that the steer vibrates,hear it goes to the left or right (small piece).

You need to set you force feedback to negative numbers, i srFactor -100 not sure about heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick M48 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) When i drive heat or Rfactor after a while the steer goes to the left,and stays there. You sure you aren't just breaking your left front wheel every race? lol As it does it in 2 different games, it doesn't sound good, make sure you have the latest drivers, if that doesn't fix it, I'd take it back and get a replacement.

Haadee#525 Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) i dont know much about that stuff i downloaded software from logitech.com,that didnt make a difference. On the steer are also 2 lights - only the one on left side burns (does anyone know if they have to burn both?) The wheel still goes,almost every heat i race to right or left and stays there but wheels ingame are pointing to the front.

Guest Scrapman53 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I had that every once in a while with my Microsoft wheel (very seldom though). Never figured out yet what it was, but it felt like it had jumped teeth. A very quick yank lock to lock down the straight would clear it though.

Tosh924 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I had that every once in a while with my Microsoft wheel (very seldom though). Never figured out yet what it was, but it felt like it had jumped teeth. A very quick yank lock to lock down the straight would clear it though. did this exactly with mine scrappy, in the end it was different drivers installed and hey presto problem fixed. i say different but they were from the sidewinder disc and the ones used before was sidewinder from a google search. the ones from the origonal drivers on the disc sorted it. only way to switch the the left steering of is go into controls, force feedback, turn ffb to off there is off,low,medium,high, set it to off and leave the rest, it should be at 100% and the other 1 at wheel. make sure you configure your steering and throttle via the drivers software.

Haadee#525 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 in heat a have force feedback function turned off but it still does that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haadee#525 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 i found out that its ok when the 2 lights burn. But they never burn both on heat,but sometimes on rfactor. The left is what i think that the wheel gets power. Does anyone else know what the LED on right side stands for ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakey508 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I think you may find there is a fault with the Logitech Momo and the way it turns left on some games. I had the same wheel and same problem and I found problem on the logitech website somewhere. Had to bin it in the end and get a yet another wheel. I seem to go through set Wheel or set of Pedals a year god knows why. Cheers Lakey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haadee#525 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 swap it in stores or get an other wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumbstick Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 The right hand light is the Force Feedback so if you have that off in Heat it will not come on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haadee#525 Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 ok i have that off but i think the force feedback engine turns my wheel over then :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinter Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I had this problem with my saitek wheel too It drove you round the bend (unfortunatly not literally lol) Think numerous driver downloads and I sorted it, I cant be anymore specific though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazza290 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 HaaDee, did you ever solve this problem? Mine is playing up smilar to yours, when I go to race It just pulls the wheel down to one side and stays there. Ive managed to race on tarmac like this but impossible on shale. Ive tried the latest drivers, installing the game aagin etc but its still the same. Anyone have any ideas on this too? Cheers Dazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knobby Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 When my wheel done similar things I thumped it one and was fine since! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonstone Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 if your sayin wen you load into the game the wheel turns all the way left, turn it all th way to right an let go it will centre itself properly then, seems to be rfactor/ffb thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza290 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I've tried the thump Knobby but didnt work for me lol Demon, I've tried all sorts to get it centered but when ever i click 'Race' it will always drag the wheel back down to the left. Really strange as I had used it for a couple of weeks no problem and then last Tuesday its all gone belly up! Not really sure where else to go to be honest. cheers though Dazzza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonstone Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) have you tried either the clear calibration util or momo centre fix to see if either help from wingman team http://www.wingmanteam.com/latest_software/gadgets.htm if not i'd sugest unistalling your momo through device manager Edited January 13, 2009 by demonstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a G25 that im having the trouble with. Also, when completey reinstalling rFactor, when the fresh version goes on it just brings up all the old settings which I think maybe the problem, how do I go about changing that so when I install it is a fresh copy? Again any help appreciated, and thanks for the suggestions so far. Dazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
