    Hiya,

    I recently purchased a Logitech G29 steering wheel and I love it in BeamNG, there is however one strange thing. I notice that within around the first 40 degrees turning, both ways, the FFB doesn't really catch on. That mainly makes autocentering, which cars have in real life, hardly possible. It feels gradual, so it's not a sudden shock or anything. The curve looks like this:

    I found a solution (kinda) by making a response correction curve with WheelCheck and that solved that problem. The FFB felt way better and more realistic. But, again, there's a problem, and that is that within a couple of degrees rotation both ways, the FFB also doesn't catch on. Yet this time it feels very clunky and shocky. It's only like that when the wheel is centered or very close to being centered. I used the FFB graphing UI to show what it's about:



    You can see that there's straight vertical lines in the pink FFB line and the peaks are all the same height. The wheel sometimes vibrates when the car is standing still and my hands are off the wheel. Maybe it has to do with the Correction curve force deadzone in the first pic?

    Does anyone here know how to fix this?
    Thanks a lot!

    I made a mistake with placing the images but for some reason can't edit it. The FFB is smooth, but doesn't catch on in the middle without the correction curve. The FFB does catch on with the correction curve, but is shocky in the center.

    Please check the steering wheel setup wiki page: https://wiki.beamng.com/Steering_wheel_setup#Response_correction_curves
    If you are already familiar with the page, please take time to re-read it carefully again, specifically the "Tweaking the curve" section, and in particular the "Low torque vibration" point, but please make sure to read everything just in case you missed other points :)
