    Hi.
    I have no problem setting up my Fanatec CSL Elite wheel, except the FFB seems to turn the wrong way. Is it possible to revers FFB inside rFactor 2 ????
    Please let me know. Thanks up front ....

    Try to change the sign of the Steering effects strength parameter in your controller.json.

    I see the value is 10000. Should the value be higher or lower.
    How will this value turn around my forcefeedback. Right now it turn my rim to the left or the right as soon as the rim it turned to one side.
    I dont have any centering spring on the force feedback at all....

    If you want to reverse, you have to put -10000
    This is the general force of the wheel. You will have the same FFB, but in the opposite way.

    "Throttle effects strength":10000,
    "Throttle effects strength#":"+10000 to -10000, applies to all throttle effects (force, vibration, static spring, etc?)",

    First line i tried to change for -10000 but had no effect.
    Second I tried chanching 2th line to "-10000 to +10000" but this didnt have any effect eighter.
    So still "negativ" force feedback on my wheel ????
    Anyone please help :)

    You have to change Steering effects strength instead of Throttle effects strength.

    No. This didnt help. On Fanatec wheelrim I can just remove the Force from the force feedback. I am looking to reverse the force feedback. I can remove it in 2 seconds, but like in Automobilista, you can reverse force feedback from 100% to -100% inside settings for force feedback. I just need that done inside rFactor2 also, just there is no way doing that inside settings....
    Thanks for the help.....

    Are you sure that you have changed the Steering effects strength? because this has always worked for me.
    Are you sure that you have changed the parameter in the correct controller?
    Have you reloaded the new controller?

    Just hope rFactor 2 and Fanatec could communicate a little. It is simply to make a "reverse force feedback" button inside menu for controller. Have excact the same issue in RACE 07, but here it is possible to inverse/reverse the force feedback, so should be relativ simple to make the change for Fanatec produckts to work inside rFactor 2 also :)
    Hope to see some changes some day, so I can get back to rFactor 2 and enjoy your super force feedback...
    Untill that day, see you.....

    I have a Fanatec Base 2.0 and I have no problems with rFactor 2.
    But my brother has a Fanatec Porsche GT2 and has been suffering with the FFB.
    The first few times he goes to the track, everything is perfect. But especially when the session changes, the FFB reverses. The Reset FFB button does not solve anything. He has also updated the steering wheel firmware.
    We participated in online championships and several times this year he had to leave the race because of this problem, as the FFB reversed when he moved to the race session.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    PS: We both use Oculus Rift.
