Hi. I just did a fresh install after uninstalling and deleting RF2. Seems my FFB wont work after changing .json file with correct wheel NM. Wheel just goes stiff like a strong centre spring! Help! Has the .json file changed after DX11?
 
Ok I suspect the .json file is not working perhaps. My Wheel just goes stiff as soon as the track loads. It also stays the same when I reduce the FFB multilier to near Zero. I just reinstalled again. Is there a conflict with the Json file?
 
Change the line “should have stuck with a belt drive wheel “ = true

Only kidding,hopefully someone who isn’t a dufus (me ) will be along to help you out.
 
haha yeh but annoying since I don't know what thye issue is. The fact I can turn the FFB multiplier right down and has no effect? Can someone from 397 help?
 
The only thing I can think of is my previous Steam install was on D : for Rfactor 2 but I also had some games installed and running from C: Maybe there is file conflict?

No idea. Is there a forum for that wheel or something? I don't know how popular they are, so I don't know if they're supported or not. I assume it was working before? Is there any software that you're missing for the wheel maybe?
 
I have fixed the issue!! Seems was liker I suspected and was setting in json file for controller. Interesting setting and I would like someopne from Studio397 to respond if possible! I changed this to Zero
"Other spring coefficient":0,
"Other spring coefficient#":"Static spring effect rate (-1.0 to 1.0) for any other FFB-capable controllers",
"Other spring saturation":0,
"Other spring saturation#":"Static spring effect peak force (0.0 to 1.0) for any other FFB-capable controllers",

They were set at 0.2 and 1
 
Seems like the game isn't treating your wheel as the wheel, or your driver isn't presenting it as such. I just checked and all the various controller files (for different devices) have the same values as above for 'other', while the wheel spring coefficient and saturation are set to 0.0 and 0.1. So if you go for that you'd be back to 'normal'. Obviously if 0 feels fine you can stick with that too.

Does the FFB feel fine now? I don't know how these things all fit together, but seems a bit strange the game is applying non-wheel FFB to your wheel... I'd be worried your wheel won't be getting the proper FFB...
 
No I just set it to what the other wheels are except that I zeroed everything. Working fine and FFB is great! Funny that I tried loading other profiles and that should have worked but seems it reverted to those 2 settings for other controllers! :(
 
Here's a copy of my Jason file in case anyone with an OSW or Bodnar wheel are having issues....
