I purchased my first racing wheel a couple of weeks ago, Logitech g29. I have mostly been playing Forza horizon 4 and motorsport 7.
I was really excited to use it, but my experience with it has been awful. I have traced the problems back to the force feedback feature but I can't figure out a good fix. Has anyone else experienced this/any ideas on how to improve it?
Basically the problem is that the force feedback causes something inside the wheel to bounce and knock against the wheel and I can feel it physically hit something. The problem is that for instance if you're trying to hold a turn and you suddenly have this hard knock against the wheel then it becomes very hard to control. Even just going in a straight line there are exaggerated hits against the wheel internally.
To show just how much of a problem this has been for me. I play on Pro difficulty with all but breaking line assist turned off (and rewind which I will redo the race if I have to use). There was one road race in Horizon that I tried 12 times, with heavy use of rewind, and the best that I could get was 4th or 5th. I switched to the controller for, and on my first try without any assists I won by several seconds.
I keep seeing the Logitech wheels recommended as a good entry option for people who don't want to spend $1000, but so far my experience has been less realistic than a controller.
I did try turning force feedback off in game, which did fix the "knocking" problem, but also it took away all resistance on the wheel (even as I tried to adjust other setting to increase resistance).
