    I tried the suggestion here https://wiki.beamng.com/Steering_wheel_setup I have the latest drivers for this wheel

    It turns all the way to the left/right and needs to be set to Force Feedback inverted to center corectly, but when I set it to inverted it stops turning all the way to the left/right but now shakes left to right continuously even after turning off optimizations in the windows settings, anyone else experience this?

    Beyond vibration it actually turns slightly in both directions about a full inch total, I have linked a small video. When returning to center it overshoots and corrects back to center repeatedly



    This is how the response curve looks when returning to center

    Never use deadzones with a steering wheel, no real car has a deadzone in the steering, it will make driving straight extremely hard.

    Certain amount of mild vibration is normal in beamng ffb, specially when parked or near zero speed. If you drive forwards, it should start disappearing around 10-30kmh depending on the vehicle.

    I had the same issue with every game for my f430. To fix it, I installed the ffd 2009 driver. The driver isn't on thrustmasters site anymore so I had to grab it from softpedia. I haven't tried this game yet but that driver did a lot to fix the wheels behavior and compatibility issues, even on win 10
