End Wheel Travel.

Hi guys!

Is there a way to set damping for the end of wheel travel? I know in a real car the wheel begins to stiffen as all the linkage starts to bind. I guess not so much on a rack and pinion but it definitely does not jump when using anything less than 900 degrees the way my Fanatec v2 does.

Do other wheels jump when coming to the end of travel?

Thanks!

 

Disable softlock in the assetto_corsa ini by changing the 1 to a zero.

[SOFT_LOCK]
ENABLED=0

Or change your antivirus software again.

 

But the wheel will turn farther than the front wheels. Is there a way to keep the lock?

 

You can either keep the soft lock on and have it violently bounce off the soft lock or you can turn it off and have the wheel turn more than it needs to. In most instances you shouldn't ever need to turn the wheel far enough for it to matter so it shouldn't really be an issue (at least in my experience, open-wheelers may be an exception), I run with it off.

 

If you can't feel when your wheel is no longer doing anything it might be time to go tweak on your FFB so more. (or update Bitdefender, you never know....)

 

I think I try tuning it off now that I have a better feel of the road now.

 

I know it doesn't help you out in this case but, it's worth noting that DD wheels have the ability to adjust how the end-stops behave through dampening / ramp functions.

 

Bitdefener is gone. I just use Windows defender and melwearsbits. Everything is fast and smooth now. My computer turns on in a fraction of the time now.

 

Oh really!! A DD wheel is what I'm getting next for sure. Especially after hearing what Wolfgang had to say.

 

That means changing settings for each car tho', correct?

 

If you use full lock while cornering, your doing it wrong. Mind your slip angle!

 

No - not at all; the end-stop behavior is a part of the DD-wheel system design as they have no hard-stops in place unlike other steering systems. It's all controlled electronically through the controller and motor directly.

 

It's common to think that people are "hyping" something when they express excitement regarding new things but, having owned DD-wheels for the last couple of years, I can confirm it's not hype, it's the real deal!

 

If you set MMOS to have a max rotation of 1080 degrees and the car you're driving in AC has a lock-to-lock of 900, how does that work?

 

I guess that may have sounded sarcastic but it wasn't.

 

It's not a problem while driving. It just pulls me out of the of the moment when I touch it once in a while.

Soft lock? They should call it shock lock!

 

Soft-Lock in games is generally meant to compensate for the difference between the hardware rotation setting and the car's real-life steering lock. It's an adaptive feature designed to reduce the need for having to set such adjustments manually per car.

 

Not always, full opposite lock drifting at max speed can be fun

 

It is fun but a little changing when the wheel is bouncing off the lock. At least that's what happens with my Fanatec v2.

Maybe it's a wheel adjustment? I guess I should ask in the official Fanatec thread?

Do other brands jump off lock? It doesn't do that in rF2. Although the wheel dose seem to jump once in a while in rF2 for no reason that I can see. Maybe I'll ask about over there?

 

In AMS my deg of rotation is altered in TM software which I guess is an easy way to have proper lock, like you can do manually per car in AC. AC's soft lock isnt worthwhile IMO. I dont drift so never notice my wheels extra rotation beyond what the car of choice should allow. I used to adjust TM and AC deg manually but dont bother any more.
