[SOLUTION] Wheel not working? Try this first.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear your wheel isn't working as expected! Please follow these steps to troubleshoot:

Base not working?
Check picture.

Check Base and Pedals:
If you're using different brands of the base and pedals, make sure to select 'separate' in AMS2 (See picture). Then rebind all your keybindings/assignments to ensure they are correctly configured.

Adjust Wheel Rotation:
If you're using a Direct Drive wheel, or if the left/right axis isn't binding properly, follow these steps:

• Set the wheel rotation to 180-360 degrees in your driver software.
• Bind your controls in the game.
• Once successfully bound, change the wheel rotation back to 900, 1080, or Auto in the driver software.

Pedal Deadzone Settings:
If your pedals have a deadzone setting within the driver software, make sure to set the deadzone to 0 in AMS2 settings.

Calibration:
Don't forget to calibrate your wheel and pedals.

• Wheel: Fully lock the wheel to its maximum rotation. Save.
• After saving, turn the wheel back to find either 900° or 1080° rotation. This is likely the maximum rotation for your base. Save again.

Pedals: Just press to maximum.

User additions:

• In the second step what the game expects you to do is turn the wheel back to centre, and then from centre to 90 degrees (either direction). I mention this because if your wheel is set (in the wheel's software) to a higher max angle, for example my Moza R12 supports up to 2700 and is set to that in Moza Pit House, then turning until the game says 900 or 1080 will give an incorrect result. In my case the correct process gives 2700 on screen in this step.
• When you're following the above steps, if 0 degrees is shown on screen, then you may have only one of the steering directions bound. You need both left and right bound for this process to work.

Note on Auto Settings: Even though Direct Drive (DD) wheels offer unlimited rotation, the driver software will still limit the rotation to 900° or 1080°, even when set to Auto mode.

Thank you for reading and have fun racing!

Sometimes, specially with a DD, if you've more than 360 for example you turn to the left and turn back it won't bind the assignment. To workaround this you set it to 180 - 360 turn left and right and it will bind. Then just turn it back to 900, 1080, auto or the rotation you like to use.

 

That you don't have a problem doesn't mean others also don't have it. When I deleted my old ams2 folder and made a new for 1.6 I exactly experience this 'bug', so I had to reduce my rotation to 360.

 

@MSK You can try to disable all your peripherals one by one and see if it binds.
