Hmm weird. What driver are you using? I'm on 177 beta. Firmware V037. Not sure what else it could be. That was the 312T you were driving, right? I was running that car for at least an hour with no issues like that. And I'm at FOR 100, FF 100, SPR 0, DPR 0, LIN 0, DEA 0, DRI 0, SEN OFF.
 
Yeah it the 312T, I have one other thing to try then I'll be changing the firmware to see if that helps, I'm not sure what driver I have but I'll update that too
 

So you are forcing your own steering angle rather than let the game decide what steering angle every car uses.
Anyway, just tried myself. FF and For 100 and cranked up the gain to 80% like you have. If i turn the wheel and accelerate, it of course starts to oscillate (not such small quick oscillations), but it tries to settle itself pretty quickly or if I grab the wheel and hold it in centre, it settles too. Nothing that happening like you have where you have constant small strong oscillations as far as I understand from your video.
 
assetto corsa automaticaly adjust the rotation by itself so i just leave it on 900

i cant seem to find the csr elite driver, only the standard csr are they ment to be the same?

Interesting that it doesn't work. Generally OFF is meant to let game decide and every other setting is meant to override this value if user prefers something else than what game lets you.
 
if in AC you set the rotation to the maximum on your wheel and just leave it like that it automatically adjusts it for each car although you dont get the FFB lock stop on the cars with lesser that your max rotation. i used to go through the settings to make them all match but now CBF, and i have the same issue either way
 
No probs, hard to find as the "elite" is a discontinued product. :(

Maybe that's why they ignored my 3 customer support tickets, head in the sand maybe?
 
Yeah, It seems AC is built up differenty than many other games in terms of steering, but doesn't matter for me. I always want to use steering angle used in real life, not lower as many would.

What Fanatec computer driver are you using. I'm using 181beta.

yeah same here. i just updated firmware and driver to the latest versions and still have the same problem, argh starting to give me the willies

driver now is 177
 
Maybe try 'off' for the hell of it? Not sure what else you could try. Also, I am running 100% gain in-game in addition to the other settings I gave earlier.

Is it doing it in all the cars in AC?

Have you tried damper and spring at off instead of zero? That is what I am using.
The good news is that it can be fixed, since we are not suffering from it, just have to find how.:gtpflag:

Lol, also don't forget some of our settings will be different between some of us (Blue has the Elite, I have a CSW - the settings are a bit different).

Yea pretty much every car, some are not as bad but it's still noticable. I will have to check to see if the firmware changed the setting but for spring and damper was only adjustable from -3 to +3 before

ok so there is an off setting now, but still didnt fix the prroblem

sens off made no difference either

well (reluctantly) ive dropped the gain back to 65% wich gets rid of most of the oscilation when going straight but can still feel it trying to rock, especially when drifting and the point where the wheel turns to match the angle of the drift if i dont hold it it just rocks back and forth untill the car spins out of control
 
Its always been like this for me, even on my t500



well it was, just got an update and the issue seems to be solved, and it seems theyve adjusted the strength of the FFB when regaining grip coming out of a slide too.
feels much better but the rocking effect is still present when drifting

In steam there is a fonction that says check integrity, you might want to do that, it has been recommended to be done for many glitches, it might work for you as well, it only takes seconds.
 
@eKretz

I finally got my Bühler motors: http://www.ebay.at/itm/221279949424?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Can you please give me some instructions what and how I should measure with my multimeter, to be sure that they will work properly in my wheel.

Also I noticed that your Bühlers are 24V vs. mine are 18V...can this be a problem?

First things first, what do you have for a power supply? That will determine if you can even check stall current. You could always use a 12VDC battery (like maybe your car) I suppose as well. To get a ballpark, measure the resistance across the motor terminals. Use I=V/R to get a ballpark idea of the stall current. Your motors being 18V means that your RPM will be a bit high, and the specs given in the auction won't be right because they're for 18V instead of 24. It may be that the motors are pushed too hard at 24V. The only way to find out is to try them out and see how hot they get. They may not survive full stall current at 24V. If they get too hot the magnets will demagnetize and severely weaken the motor also.
