    I think you'd be far better off plugging your wheel in before you start the game. Or just leaving it plugged in all the time like I suspect many of us do.

    As tpw said you should avoid plugging wheel after game has loaded. If i do that with g25 it doesn't work at all.

    Also, what difficulty level you chosen when first starting game? Check if steering help is set to off, that could make wheel "not respond". Also, "speed sensitive steering" that should be 0%.

    I unplug my T300 from the mains when not driving as I find the fan noise irritating but always plug it in before starting a sim and it works great.

    Thats fine too - key is to have it plugged in and ready (calibrated(?)) prior to starting a game.

    You just have to unplug your T300 USB connection to power down the wheel.

    The best way I know of to initialise your wheel is boot windows, login then plug your wheel in and let it finish initialising, then run the game.

    any updated CSW V2 settings? i just can't get mine right. (also REIZA would it be possible to edit posts?) makes it easier for settings and updating such posts.

    I noticed this relatively new option, what does this do, is it similar to Minimum Force?

    That seems fine, i'd suggest trying low force boost at 0%.
    Also, can you pls post difficulty tab as well, plus rates and axis screenshot too?
    Thanks!

    All seems fine there, for the moment i can only suggest lowering / zeroing of low force boost. After that, try to lower overall ffb strenght.
    Other thing i would try is turning off SHO for a test.

    thank you @Domagoj Lovric will test and try what you wrote. appreciate it.

    with ZERO LOW FORCE BOOST, everything feels much much better and smoother and no crazy movements anymore! thanks! (no only graphics...)

    try negative or positive force strenght in game options, depending on what do you have it set now, try opposite.

    Is that possible, that the FFB of AMS are clipping?
    I have got a SimuCUBE with the big MiGE and the force are at 50.
    When i take some corners, the FFB are clipping (power constant and no feeling), but the wheel are at the half power.
    When i set it to 30, it clipped at the same position, too.

    Experiencing a FFB problem.
    When doing laps, no specific number, I am losing FFB and the wheel as no feeling whatsoever.
    I press my reset FFB button (not sure whether that is suppose to work), still no FFB.
    I check whether the preset for my wheel is still loaded and go on track still no FFB.
    I have to get completely out of AMS and fire the game back up again then FFB is ok until this all happens again.
    So far today in the last hour it has happened 4 times.
    Anyone been experiencing this problem?
    My signature shows what wheel I have.
