I don't think my ABS motor works in PC2 on PC. I think I would have to add an additional plug-in or something to make it work. I'll have to look into it. Driving a GT3 it should activate regularly. I will say though that it is a bit weaker than I was hoping for (testing during calibrations), but certainly noticeable, especially since I always wear my karting shoes.
Did you turn the ABS off on the wheel and in the game?
It was really bothering me with not being able to compete without wrecking everybody in Sunday nights racing.
The biggest problem is that the wheel doesn't have its own set of native drivers and functions through the emulation mode on the wheel and thereby is recognized as a G29 by the game.
Due to individual preferences and driving styles, Fanatec doesn't really have a "best" settings recommendation. There are infinite customization settings in the wheel, but only within its native drivers and most of those are lost in the emulation mode settings. What most of us are experiencing is clipping on straights and reverse FFB on straights and corners.
On the straights, the emulation mode inputs from GTS are greater than the mode can process to the wheel, resulting in a constant slapping effect much like if you were driving over a rumble strip. On top of that, the car is in a constant side-to-side sway in response to driver input reacting to a pull or push to one side over the other.
The reverse response of the FFB is very tough to control as it occurs in a random fashion. When you go into a turn the FFB fades or sometimes completely disappears then sometimes it catches on corner exit upsetting the car and causing an overcorrection into a spin or sudden loss of speed as I slow down to gain control.
So....at 2am this morning I started investigating everything I could find on what other people were doing to make the wheel drivable in GTS. Hopefully, after a hundred laps or so of different combinations of setting adjustments I came up with something that at least allowed me to be competitive in the daily races without taking out half the field.
Fanatec is a little elusive with their information process. I bought the wheel after reading all the reviews and was led to believe that it was plug and play, hit the mode button to violet and you were good to go. What I discovered is that after a certain update from Fanatec who as far as I can discern, was released in response to the last GTS update. Everything went south from there.
If you're thinking about purchasing or have this wheel, please understand that you're going to have some tweaking to do. If they can somehow get it to the point of functionality close to how it feels in Assetto Corsa, it might just elevate GTS to a whole new level. Using the wheel in AC is absolutely the closest feeling to real driving that I've experienced in a sim. It responds to everything with a very precise feel and familiarity to what you would expect from real world driving. The weirdest thing is that it still runs in emulation mode of the G29 in AC.
If you have the wheel or are thinking about ordering it and need some help with set-up, PM me and I'll send you my settings.
Should be putting the final touches on the new rig, at least in the virtual world, tonight. The plan is to use the extra days off for the holiday to start cutting wood!
