I played GT5 with the PS3 pad and it seemed a bit arcade to me... Same applies to Forza 3. Haven't played with wheel though and chances are i never will.
Btw i expected better graphics from GT5 also.

Is not working. It's pointing to event3, but

Quote :

sudo ./ltwheelconf -b 0 --device=/dev/input/event3

is not working either

Quote :

Wheel autocenter force is now set to 0.

Is what i get from everything, but it isn't working

You are totally right -

Quote :

sudo ./ltwheelconf -w DF -a 0

works and removes autocentering (at least when you are not in LFS).

Quote :

sudo ./ltwheelconf -b 0 --device=/path-to-device-event-file

Does not remove the autocentering - i tried js0, event0/1/2/3/4 but it doesn't do it.

Is there any other game that i can test with except Vdrift?
p.p. Oh god, i know how to but i really don't have the time for this. Is that the only chance?
The next two weeks are nightmare for me, i don't have time for anything.

Of course - i tried countless combinations, but with no luck. Wine doesn't have any FFB options, i was hoping to find some reg keys that are responsible for the center spring, but no luck.

Yesterday i made a demo server and everything was ok, but there were 2 guys with no nicknames. I made a screenshot (only 1 of the guys in the server)

Drive properly and the car won't understeer

Quote from Bose321 :

0. DNF is crap.
1. LFS is active (where have you read it is not?).

2. LFS is not a montly fee.
3. Should be possible (else switch to Windows).

0. He will piss on your dead body for that

1. Kinda - on lfsworld i counted 7 servers that there are enough people for an actual racing. Only 1 of the servers is S1 compatible (for now i only want S1) - checked it with lfs remote and realized that that's some stupid mod and they aren't actually racing the same applies to some other S2 server. So 7-2=5 - well not really, because there are 2 drifting servers, so 5-2=3. 3 servers that you can actually race and one of them is oval And of course none of them S1
So yeah it's live and kicking.

2. Yes - true

3. Windows? Hello - i am trying to avoid that.

p.p. lol they started racing on that S1 server

I lost my enthusiasm - Duke nukem forever is out before S3.
And as we all know LFS is not very active nowadays.

+ I am a student and my monthly hostel rent is less than £36
I admit you do get a lot of game for that money and i will eventually buy it (S1 or S2) if it revives (which i am not sure). Plus i can't get the FFB to work properly in Linux, so i don't play anything recently.

You kiddin' - that's better http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2011 ... ring-wheel-cuts-the-cord/

So S3 will cost 12 + 12 + 12 = £36 for a non-licensed user. Ouch.

Yes - played with that a bit - from 0 to 100 but the center spring is very strong and it screws everything. I also have Windows and i know how the wheel should be behaving, and there i have no center spring "effect"

You are right, again. It was 1.3.15, so i updated it to 21. when i was with 15 i recorded a video an uploaded it to youtube to show the problem. With wine 1.3.21 now the wheel is not "crazy" but still has center spring - you wiil see the problem in the video - i remove the spring, everything is fine, but as soon i enter the game the center spring returns. The FFB is working now - when i "drift" i feel the steering wheel whant to steer into the turn, but it can't because of the center spring.

I really have to sleep now - its almost 1AM and i have to wake at 8AM. I will shower and then check the forum last time for today.

No - definately there is a center spring and it makes my wheel behave a bit mad. I can film it if it will help.

Ok - some progress. I installed Mint 11 and ran into similar problem. I set the center spring to 0 and it works till i start the game. When I start the game the center spring goes on immediately and when i start the race my wheel goes crazy. I barely hold it and when i play i feel that the FFB might be working properly but it's interfering with the spring and things go out of control.

No, it is still wierd. Made the debugging though. It's... well - long Had to compress it. But don't loose your time here. It's a good reason to update to Mint 11.

I will consider an update to be 100% sure that the cause isn't the kernel. I will try to do it today, and tomorrow if i am not too busy will test it. (i have to backup first)

Quote :

sudo ./ltwheelconf -w DF -a 0
Autocenter for Driving Force is now set to 0 with rampspeed 0.

Yes i had to make clean. Now the center spring is gone. Till i get to the game where it switches on again The same problems apply - center spring + sudden snapping turning left, and when i drive i don't feel FFB, just some jerking from time to time

Aplied the patch and compiled again, but it's the same here.

Quote :

sudo ./ltwheelconf -w DF -a 0
"Sorry, do not know how to set autocenter force for Driving Force. Please try generic implementation using --alt_autocenter."

Tried again:

Quote :

sudo ./ltwheelconf -w DF -b 0 --device /dev/input/DF
Wheel autocenter force is now set to 0.

But still nothing happens

Quote :

sudo ./ltwheelconf -w DF -b 0 --device /dev/input/DF
Wheel autocenter force is now set to 0.

Still nothing - the annoying spring is still there.

Big mistake actually - the FFB is stil crap, it snaps at some point when turning left and it is heavy all the way when turning right.

I might clean install Ubuntu 11.04 on another drive and give it a try - it has a newer kernel. Haven't reinstalled my Mint 9 since it first came out.

@bobbymonds Chevrolet Camaro SS 68'' - great car to look at and listen, but not to drive.

Dirt 3 has something like that. Judging by what i see it's achieved by normalmapping, and it looks great. I am not sure about does it do something with the grip though.

Quote from Mr_Lonely :

good for you..

Of course it is good for me. If LFS had Nordschleife - i would immediately buy it and then i'd be dead in ~3 days from starvation, because i wouldn't stop playing for a crap like food or something.

It was wine-1.3.19, updated it to 21 and now it's much better!!!
The FF is working as it shoud be, but the center spring is way stronger and i feel almost nothing, but it's working. Now the most important thing for me is to remove the spring, separate axis - later.
Thank you MadCatX, i hope you succeed with the patching. If you need me to output something, just ask me here or on PM.

Mint 9 AMD64 2.6.32-30-generic kernel

Yes i have the Formula Force EX
I have a box standard Mint 9
My wheel is working, but FF isn't, it has center spring and combined pedals.
Compiled ltwheelconf - --autocenter 0 is not working, so i tried --altautocenter on /dev/input/js0

Quote :

set auto-center: Invalid argument

tried /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_Logitech_Formula_Force_RX-event-joystick
- it seems to set something, but the wheel still has center spring.
Tried event0 but still nothing.

I will provide any info you want - just give me the commands.

Thre are some signs of force feedback in lfs - but it's very very buggy:
The wheel i constantly turned slightly left. When you turn left the wheel is light - when you turn right - it's heavy. When i drift i feel the reall FFB a bit but the center spring (which as i said is not really centered in game, but fine out of the game) is dominating.
