    This may or may not be a bug.

    I have been working on a mod for a few weeks. The mod has been coming along nicely. Today I decided to install the update for rfactor2.
    Steps
    1. Installed rFactor2 update.
    2. Started a session (Developer) to test my mod with the new updated game
    Observation: Car was steering like a pig and all the feedback seemed wrong

    Attempted trouble shooting:
    1. Started adjusting the Force Feedback
    Result:FFB changed but the steering was still bad
    2. Exited and looked at my logitech software to see if I still had the right profile.
    Result: This was confirmed
    3. I checked to see if my profile settings had changed
    Result: setting were confirmed and I had allow game to adjust settings box checked.
    4. Started game not using my logitech profile
    Result: no change
    5. Tried another car in my mod
    Result: Steering bad
    Result: I figured out that the car had 900 degrees of steering wheel range
    6. Looked at the settings page and it was listed as 540 degrees

    Started my next round of trouble shooting
    1. Started a single player session
    2. Chose a Megane and went on track and the car responded to 540 degrees of wheel range.
    3. Reviewed the Megane's *.hdv, *.veh, *.cockpitinfo, and every other file I could think of to find out if this data is stored in the car files because I do remember reading that.
    Result: I found no such data


    So my cars in Developer mode have 900 degrees of wheel rotation!

    So is this a BUG or am I missing data in my car files?


    I have a G25 steering wheel
    The problem is in Developer mode

    Thanks for any help,

    Goat

    So, you should have your car limited to 540 deg.

    How have you figured out that the car had 900 degrees of steering wheel range?
