LWFF broken??? Please help,

7 posts by 7 people · 21 Aug 1999 - 24 Aug 1999

Hi! I just got my lwff, and when I plug it into the wall, the wheel will center, but not to 12 o'clock but to 11 o'clock. When windows boots up, the software detects it, and than it will swing it left and right, and the wheel will come back to a proper center, 12 o'clock. It than begaves ok in both FF and non FF games, but when I shut down windows, it will again "center" to 11 o'clock. Is there something wrong with it, or is this normal behaviour. Please help me so I know whether it needs to be replaced. Thanks Domagoj

Seems like nothing is realy wrong. I've got the same behaviour over here. As long as it calibrates itself properly during boot time I wouldn't worry at all Jan.
I've got the same, just out of the box 5 months ago, never had any problems with it.. Rolf > Seems like nothing is realy wrong. I've got the same behaviour over here. As

Don't know if it's normal, but mine does the same . Bye, Leo
Hello Domagoi I have had my LWFF for about a month. The 11 o'clock problem you discribe is "apparently" a problem with the earlier drivers. Be sure to d/l the lastes driver - 3.25 from within the Profiler setup program. (It doesn't show at the Web Page.) Mine works great and sits at 12 o'clock. The torque force setting is very personal taste, I have a setting = 100. Good luck Jerry
nope, this is no problem. the centering w/ the FF-version of the wheel is done by the FF-motors inside. in order to know where the center is, the wheel needs to be calibrated 1st (by the auto-calibration at startup e.g.). nah - no need for that! ;-) Lio
