Ok my wheel showed up today, (at work like I planned) so I really couldn't
do anything yet, but I looked everything over and the manual is missing? No
I bought it ebay used no driver disk... refurbed, saved some money thou.
Anywho...
was sittin here playing with the shifter, not connected of course...
the dial that changes To gate shifting, From sequential shift, have to have
power? or something? I cant move it from sequential because it tried/tries
to go half way, grips the shifter into what would seem to be 3rd gear, and I
cant turn past half way on the knob. Not wanting to break anything I of
course stopped and started typing.
Can you guys enlighten me? I doubt this is normal, right? or ya think it
will when plugged in and "something" electro mechanical, changes when you
twist the knob with it all up and plugged in? Or did I get Ebay'd
thanks
push the shifter down and while holding down then you'll be able to turn the
shift selector.

And many (including mine) have an issue where it can't distinquish 6th
from reverse. I can feel the difference if I push the knob down when
going far right and back (vs. not pushing down), but rf recognizes it
as the same button.
My biggest issue with the wheel in rfactor is the lack of a steering
lock when the car steering hits it's end of travel. I can see the
road wheels hit their maximum angle but I can continue to turn the the
wheel so it feels like massive midcorner understeer.
Thanks go out to both of you !!!

either make the wheel less # of turns lock to lock or something? Ill know
more in a few days, lol
I haven't even had time to logon to my pc at home this week, hardly.
Logi sure goes nuts on reboot though ( I have it plugged in at the office
last night, just to make sure it powered on and drivers worked in case I
need to ship it back... jumped out of my hands, but didnt hit the floor,
lucky me... (no I was not clamped to desk at the time) I might have
actually lucked out on this deal....

It also goes nuts if you escape out of the car in GPL, I get washboard
effect until I go back in the car or exit
Mine doesn't work like that. It works like it should. The wheel/tire
movement range matches steering wheel movement range.
One thing I did is go in an 'ini' file and set the in-game steering
wheel rotation to match my G25 rotation angle setting. Off the top of
my head, I think it's a line in the controller.ini file. That might
fix your problem.
The other thing I can think of is that if you are checking the
steering while sitting still, and have 'pit assistance' turned on,
maybe the exaggerated steering at low speed is causing what you see.
Maybe it is working as it should at higher speeds?

Pretty sure they match but will check again.

Nope, seems to work the same on track as in the pit lane. Although
it's usually slower speed corners where I miss the apexs and try to
apply more lock ;)
Have you checked to see that you have "speed sensitive steering" set to
zero?
That may be causing the problem (note: I have not read all the messages to
ignore this if it comes from left field)

If you do this you can change the gear mode easily.
IMHO, the 6 speed option is too loose and flaky, its often difficult to
get the right gear. However, I like the sequential box. But, you have to
get used to the fact that you should push the gear lever forward or back
to shift, and DO NOT accidentally PUSH IT DOWN, as I often did and ended
up with the gear lever back in 6 speed mode or in no gear at all!
Personally tho' I still prefer the on wheel paddle shifters, not having
to take your hands off the wheel makes life much easier when driving.

I get this effect in GPL too!
Whenever I leave the car, enter the garage screen, etc the wheel just
shakes really badly (makes the mouse fall off my base) and it continues
to shake until I go back another screen in GPL, (leave that session /
game) or until I get back in the car!
Is there any way to stop this happening?
Thanx

I got it to stop by increasing the dead zone ever so slightly. You can also
go into control panel and decrease the FF intensity just a bit. These are
very slight adjustments and don't effect much else. Depending on your
particular system (all react just a bit differently) you might just need to
spend a few minutes experimenting within the sim and the control panel to
find what works for you.

Yep tried this now and it works fine, used the Logitech wheel profile software,
