Fanatec GT3 rs V2 weird FFB (bug?)
Posted: 13 Feb 2014, 20:30
Hi there,
First of all, amazing piece of software. I must say I plugged in my old Logitech MOMO black and - guess what! - the leds worked for shifting. Hah, I was amazed and it gave new life to that old fart.
Anyway, I got a new GT3 today and was testing with Fanaleds. Unfortunately it didn't work.
Testing with rFactor. Plugin is in place. What happens is: The display works fine. It does display speed, shift indicator, whatnot. All good.
But... the ffb "clunks" a lot. I don't know how to explain. Especially when I hit the rev limiter (testing with Apex FIA GT3 mod), the ffb is strong and all over the place. Like I'm going 300km/h off the track on a bumpy area. If I ride the car at normal RPM the clunks are still there, but less noticeable unless I hit the rev limiter. But even with low RPMs it's hard to drive like this.
I tried the F1 1991sr mod as well. Same thing, but one detail: the "bad ffb" comes when I lift the throttle. If the car is stopped, nothing strange. I hit the max rpm (no limiter), no ffb. When I let go the throttle I get a bang like I hit a curb. When rolling with the car, it does seem like the wheel is trying to replicate the engine "vibration" - but see, it's no vibration, it's the ffb clunking all over like I'm hitting curbs.
Fanaleds version 2.2. I tried turning off the rumble effects, makes no difference. Tried to change brake threshold, no difference. Speaking of which, there are no rumble effects. The wheel never vibrates. When I click help, then run diagnosis test, the display comes up with fanaleds, but no vibration or anything via the wheel.
The order in which I open fanaleds or rfactor seems to make no difference. rFactor has ffb on -50%. I use leo ffb plugin (and not realfeel).
Using Windows 7, 64bit, and Fanatec driver v 115. I'm not sure about the firmware but it's stock, I just opened it from the mail.
Cheers!
