Changelog:

• Fixed an issue where tire heat history was reset after a driver swap.
• Support for the Logitech G29 and G920 was added, fixing some long outstanding issues with these wheels.
• Fixed a small loophole that would allow you to circumvent fixed setups.
• New feature added: Ability to set maximum steering wheel rotation in software. (More info can be found in the November Roadmap)

 

that was a very useful update for so many people

 

Big thumb up for G29.

 

Huge thumbs up for the G29

 

Not that much this time....

 

The new steering wheel rotation feature, consisting of several steps, is it to use for a T300 steering wheel ?

Thank you.

 

Good to see a software implementation of soft lock, finally.

@DrivingFast If your T300 is anything like my T500, it already copes with the auto-rotation setting. The one use for it I can imagine is when you play other games and rF2 has changed your wheel's rotation setting, forcing you to manually change it before you play another game; if you use that 'new' system instead, I think rF2 shouldn't change your wheel setting and you won't need to adjust it.

 

When du you think to get a controller profile for upcoming Fanatec DD1 and DD2 base?

 

So will this stop rF2 changing my driver steering degrees all the time? Everytime I play anything other than rF2 I need to reset my driver back to 900° because rF2 always sets it to 450° or similar.

 

Yes work perfectly

 

Probably better to ask once they are released.

 

If its true, it should be released next Friday... hope to have my preordered DD2 under the xmastree

 

When you've had a chance to test your Christmas present, please let us know how it goes. There are probably a few members here who would be interested to hear the pro's and con's of these new Fanatecs

 

with update now my g27 doesn't work, checked new steering wheel settings and they were set to false nothing else changed in game wheel goes to right as soon as leave pits, in garage the graph for steering either goes all the way to right or left , in a few degrees?

 

@jdaddle It sounds like it just isn't detected/calibrated properly.

This setting should be true, assuming it worked fine before:

"Steering Wheel Maximum Rotation from Driver":true,

Maybe start from the start, detect or load the G27 profile and assign controls as needed. You can copy/rename your controller.JSON so you can test and revert later if you want.

 

Lazza, I have already tried setting it to true, makes no difference, I have deleted my player.json and controller.json, reloaded the logitech g27 default profile, still does not work, when I enter game controller menu with wheel centered, the visual of steering wheel looks like wheel is all the way to the right, if turn wheel that visual doesn't move until I get about 15 degrees from full left then it jumps to full left, only have 15 degrees to move visual but steering wheel is turned left.

 

@jdaddle How does it look in the windows control panel properties? If it works fine there, go back into the game, re-assign steer left and steer right, and see if that helps.

 

it was fine in control panel, I got it working by verifying files in steam, thinking maybe the default Logitech file got messed up somehow, thanks for the help Lazza

 

@jdaddle Excellent, glad you sorted it out, and thanks for updating us

 

• Steering Wheel Bump Stop Harshness – A configurable value ranging from 1.0 to 100.0, which acts like a spring constant that determines how much counter-torque will be applied if you steer beyond the maximum range.

a good person please explain this
