G27 Jittery/notchy cornering

[alpharetro]

I've never owned a racing wheel before, so I have nothing to compare this to. I just got a G27 for my birthday, the first thing I did was fire up GT5P. After I started playing I realized that when I take long, gradual corners, I get this kind of twitchy or jittery feedback effect. I can really feel it when I make those slight steering adjustments when going through long, banked corners like those of the Daytona track or the High Speed Ring. The best way I can describe it is "notchy," the banked turns are not smooth feeling. All driving assists are turned off, wheel is set to "simulation" and the problem happens at any FFB number.

Before anyone jumps in with the whole GT5P isn't supported stuff, I'll say that the first thing I did was download the NFS:Shift demo for PC and tried the wheel out there. I find there is a lot more FFB action going on in that game but I can steel feel the notches when cornering.

I'm posting this mainly because of the sheer amount of people I have heard talking about the g27 and how it feels smooth and consistent due to the helical gears. I was wondering if anyone out there experienced this or maybe I need to RMA the wheel? Again I have nothing to compare to which makes this frustrating to troubleshoot. Thanks for any help.

I dont think its anything to worry about as it happens to mine too, its only on the long curves as you say. Supercar Challenge works fine though, so its more than likely just the FFB programming within the software. I think.

My suggestion is to make sure that your wheel (G27) is connected to the first USB port on the PS3 (that would be the one closest to the edge). I've had the same experience when I first got my G25 and hooked it to the second USB port and experienced the same notch-iness while cornering.

yeah i get the same thing with my g25 i always thought it was the springs unbalancing in the suspension because i wasn't putting enough pressure on the wheel. or due to my bad driving lol
