XBOX 360 Wheel Problem

[SuperBasketball98]

That wheel looks loose

[ammr36]

so bad y cant they have 1 with a cluch

[RossTCGE]

@ammr36 exactly

[NapoleonRaffa]

I don't know about you... But I keep my hands ON the wheel. ;-)

[MrSnowCore]

Open it up and re set the gears.

[perfusus]

u broke your motors lol, get a new one and next time don't force the FF

[PureMetalMusic]

you were too hard on it

[kamlik11]

i thought that MS wheel doesn't have auto center? Am i wrong ? Or you can turn off this function? I hate wheels with auto center :(

[NIZZZZZZZZZZZZZmo]

broke get a new one or take it back to the shop.

did you get it from game?

[promking25]

this is not a problem with the wheel this is meant to happen the ff is made to angle with the "grip" of the road so it varies depending on the game that your playing

[royalengland]

This is why PS3 is more expensive then the Xbox it's better quality

[Kandres027]

My mic makes a terrible noise when it's plugged in to the wheel Does it happen to anyone else?

[TheTechDudes]

ya same here i tried with the wireless mic it doesnt have that problem so if u get really annoyed then just buy one of those but i cant afford one right now so im just gonna stick with the crappy noise

[LethalResistanz]

@Kandres027

'

Same for me. First i replaced the wheel. That didn't work so i bought a new mic. Still makes that terrible noise.

[bigecanada]

This isn't meant to show the torque steer, I'm showing the fact that is this not level at the bottome of the wheel (tilted to the right). The other video's show the play in the wheel.

[jordanmusicmurray]

mine is the exact same man, fucking rediculis, i think they have tryed to hard on trying to get it to feel like ur driving a real car, than actually steering it, mine just turns its self whn it wants too

[LanOsb133]

Mine is "off center" and when ever i drive my car will go to the left so i cant turn right to great but i always oversteer to the left... anyone know how to fix that?

[KronicKillaz]

here is the problem....its a microsoft brand. just get a logitech

[Gunsand42]

it supposed to do that it acts like a real car if i want to turn right the car will want to kinda move in another direction so u have to turn it harder like a real car and yes a car wheel does center itself because of the moving forces if u have a car and it dosnt then that is a problem

[iXFranTiQueXi]

@Gunsand42 That's understeer, yes this wheel provides it, but no that's not what it is in the video.

[prettydamnsweetdude]

well if u knew anything about cars you would know that cheap, shitty American cars like that mustang have poor handling and a large dead zone

[SpikeRazzor]

@prettydamnsweetdude Your a fucking idiot, just delete your Youtube account before you embarrass yourself any further.

[MarcoPoloVideos]

well holding the wheel might help

[bigecanada]

I'm not holding the wheel to show how it is dipping to the right, the other problem with the wheel is that there is "play" causing the wheel to have a loose feeling

[wleoncio]

Thanks for the heads up!

[gunny556fly]

um whats wrong? of course it dont center itself because it was never meant to. its anoying anyway

[Soksimaniyasuka]

wow, that sucks

[calel360]

all the ppl slating you for this are idiots. i have one of these and it will centre. my frient bought one with this problem and exchanged it. the replacement was fine.

[Rob952002]

did you turn to hard one game and knock out one of the wires?

[bigecanada]

No, this was filmed when the wheel was new

[Turbomorph]

Dude you need an alignment. Lol.

[redskins112995]

maybe urs had a defect

[r0b0kar]

i get this problem 2 but in the other direction

[weeleybin]

Mines ok, how did you get your wheel to 'spring back' to the middle?

[csmith5810]

did you have it plugged in? through the power.

[bigecanada]

Yes, it is plugged in

[EpicMountainMan]

just return it.......omg the problems solved

[Solarinferno]

dude its the not the steering wheel its the car itself the mustang every mustang has i can't remember how much torque in it but it always drags off to the left... its the axle that gets bent from the torque

[ReeferRockNRolla]

I may be wrong but I think your wheel is not workin right

[tovenaar685]

dude thats the force feedback...

[bigecanada]

the ff causes the wheel to center itself, I am showing that when the wheel is at center, it is not level......the wheel tilts down to the right side.

[zYzmrZIzYz]

he should said the wheel is OFF CENTER. meaning when you point the wheel straight, the car turns slightly to one side or the other. I just got my wheel today. having the exact same problem.

[voltrumiks]

because this ms xbox 360 steering wheel doesnt center by itself

and it turns by itself because is has force feedback function

[chinojbjvcj]

that sucks

[abdirahmanm7]

nice wheel how much did it cost

[bug94599]

your wheel got RRoD

[ciprochris]

I LOVED my Xbox steering wheel, the first few hours i had it when it actually fuctioned properly. the calibration gets worse every time i use it, its soo far beyond center and sad because it was the best wheel i ever used until this came up.. dosent seem to be any resolution to this problem either...

[Edmard1]

could just be torque steer is that how you spell it?

[thedeadkillerhobo1]

Real cars do this also

[Hitman3z1]

why not just exchange it for a new one

[BDesignCRX]

Looks like the Deadzone is not right. Is it possible to tune the deadzone?!

[The12GAme]

i had the same problem.. i just pushed my wheel in and it worked for some reason

[FUCK202]

maybe you were just unlucky to get that piece of shit. 99% of reviews say its well made and works perfectly and believe me, ive read a lot

[JoeySmith101]

sucks for you mine works great

[ninjabob52]

Ive had a bit of trouble with mine, sometimes it pulls hard to one side when im going down a streightaway, or it downshifts and pulls up the telemetry at random otherwise most of the time it works.

[vampiresmith]

tht does happen with actual cars its called torque steer, its just trying to be realistic its not really a problem

[life161]

there is no problem

[Chris0Barry4]

Nothing is wrong with your wheel, for some reason the microsoft wheel doesn't really center itself unless you are on a straight away. Probably because the force feedback is over reading the driving surface or some shit who knows?

[southsideguy13]

its supposed to do that so when u turn on a curve and let the wheel go it wont center and go straight and crash!!!!!

[luckyranadey775]

mine centers itself..its way better than the madcatz or any other steering wheels

[SlimeDragon]

your playing forza. it does that when you take off because of the friction. and my wheel doesnt lean like that you did something to it!

[kilershark95]

it is meant to be like this thats what force feedback means!!!

DUH!!!!!!!!

[GamePlayUK]

what so u cant turn the wheel to the centre urself? ur lazy

[joemay5]

the wheel isnt supposed to auto align itself to the middle...

[drummer01020102]

did u unplug the wire in the back of the wheel after startin the game

[pianovsdrums]

probly cause u twisted it to far, or hard

[mooser663]

maybe it cannot find the reciever fast enough? i dunno order another 1 and give em the shitty 1

[MattWell333]

The wheel is designed to not go back to the center when you let go. And it leans to the side because you are suppose to be holding it in the center. The wheel was designed to be realistic. I don't see any problem with it?!?

[cj16cj16]

That why you need a a ps3 and the gt5 prolouge cause it knows when to center jus like a real car.

[TRIBALIZIED]

drive a honda civic and it will allign itsself

[kartkid79]

Worked just fine.

[K3VY8295]

wow....i just got mine a few days ago.....would this still happen to me if i play to hard?!?!

[nascarfan154]

i returning mine cuz it won't install it to my console i was playing nascar 09 but the foot pedal won't work!!!!

[chuckytheman]

I hear what your saying and understand your point of view on this but it seems your taking one great old fact not into account here. Microsoft Products of any kind... Are Rushed-ly Made.

Meaning they are mass produced and made to sell in large numbers. Like many things of course. But in this case... there is always bound to be a few crappy wheels. But with that said... there is also a chance to get a really good one. Just complain to MS. And get it replaced.

Or Boycott MS.

[scavenger4life]

I found that the force feedback only works when it is pluged into an ac fack but when you run it on just batteries ,the force feedback does not work.

[bfcricky]

Is it really noticeable when you're driving?

[bigecanada]

You can tell the wheel is lacking quality, the wheel is attached loosely and it does not center itself level

[spartan528]

@bigecanada if that was a fwd car id say it could be torque-steering but its a mustang so who knows? might be dips and bumps in the tracks from the game causing the front wheels to bounce a bit, forcing the wheel into a certain position

[darpachief]

loooool

[superallye]

So did you get a replacement for this and if so, how's the new wheel?

[bigecanada]

No replacement yet.......

[superallye]

While you have no replacement yet, you should consider a Logitech Wheel. They more experience in making realistic feeling wheels. Microsoft may have experience in the Sidewinder controllers Logi, has had more wheel models.

[Gh3d3]

wait how do you even get it to center like move back to original position i play and mine is like to turn and it just turns dosnt center at all

[carsismeZ06]

it may be because you're driving a mustang..

[awesomeSkins]

lol!! American cars r rubbish even in computer games xD thats realism 4 u

[10020113001]

Haha well done, very true

[duperrec]

+1!

[salvadorhzmj23]

hahaha

[SuperStud100]

lol

[oddieboi]

@carsismeZ06 pretty sure a mustang is a pretty decent car for less than $10k. Camaro vs GT500 is a close match. Ever seen em head to head? Go watch it in person and see who wins. Corvette is in a class of its own, a class in which Ford has yet to design a car for. ZR1 vs Ford GT. Ford wins most of the competions. dont be so bias dick.

[K4meron]

@carsismeZ06 I agree. That's what it is.

[86pimp93]

did u have it plugged into the wall cuz if u didint it wont return to the center on its own.

[bigecanada]

yes, it was plugged in

[spinobratX]

seriously, if you actually had your hands on it playing it there would be no need for it to return to center since you are always making steering corrections

[bigecanada]

yes, this video is simply showing the quality of the microsoft wheel - that is all

[GtFallsMontana]

Mine doesn't do that. Take it back and get another one. Here is a cool homemade stand:

/watch?v=7pUlBUMTFFU

[RollingPepsi]

the thing is that ur shit

[yummybirdseed]

seriously its not supposed to auto correct,watch Sajidaslamuk's review he'll explain it all.

[Tom2k234]

Wow u r dumb coz its not SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!!!!!!!!!

[abcefghijclmnop]

unplug the wire in the back not the pedals but the wire that connects to an outlet and just use a battery pack

[jimmeh003]

I know a lot of people have said this.. but.. FORCE FEEDBACK!

[Cub4October25]

That's how its supposed to work ace. It's called force feedback, and it thankfully is not what I'd call n00b proof.

[bigecanada]

Watch the other video's. The wheel is cheap! The wheel is attached loosely to the hub and I'm tired of accepting microsofts crap which is why I posted the vids.

[ji3200]

i used to have your wheel. if you are looking for good high end wheel go for Fanatec 911 turbo S wheel for 360. its sold out but you can preorder for november shipment like i am. Fanatec got a permission from microsft.

[cdwpdd]

Agreed-I am on my 4th 360...but my original Wii and PS3. Its to the point now where I even walk by the fuckin thing nice and slowly cause' I'm affraid the passing breeze may hit it and cause another god-forsaken RROD. I'm still a 360 fanboy, but this problem better be gone in the next generation microsoft console whenever that comes-cause if not, I'll be siding with sony exclusively. The PS3 is inferior to the 360, but I've only had to own one...and I don't cringe in fear everytime I turn it on.

[mattievk]

that not nice, because mine does work fine

[nam212]

keep ur hands on the wheel

[D4VIDDave]

You should realise, all of you, tht if you look at the wheel at the start of the video, it is NOT perfectly CENTERED. The wheel is at a slight angle to the right. If you look closley, you will notice this.

The steering wheel can be a little unpredictable, most likley the internal balancing ( centering ) unit.

[mek3214]

even if it was supposed to center which im not sure becuase i dont have it yet im sure that will happen over time from game play and/or being a little to rough with it

[bhav222]

its not supposed to!!! Force feedback when u crash noob

[Glorfindel117]

ITS NOT MEANT TO!

[laservader1]

the wheel is not supose to center its self! its like a real car u noob

[bigecanada]

wtf? A real car does center itself you dummy - maybe it's time for an alignment on your moms car.

[laservader1]

it centers it self when you moving it dose not center 100% i love this wheel it is almost like driving a car

[mooser663]

HAHAHA! nice one

[Foxhoundkid450]

Its not suposed to center its self

[xF4T4LxFL1NTx]

i got a question about my racing wheel...

my wheel is really "loose" like when i turn or something. when i first got it it was all stiffish and it turned perfectly but now its all wierd, loose.

does anyone no what is wrong and how to fix it?

THX :D

[Boze45]

Ok I just read the description and its not supposed to correct itself, its force feedback, it does what a car would really do,and does not spring back to the center

[zuneluvr]

no i have the wheel. its suppose to be back at the center.

[Deaglanomoailin]

why does everyone belive a real car would not spring back to the center? of course it does!!!!

[joel0062]

Lol thats not a problem. there was a few things i saw 1 the wheel moves it self becuase your in a high performance car with forcefeed back on the wheel.2 it wasnt very responsive the same as last prob high performance and sensativity to low.

[zuneluvr]

high performance? Thats a stock mustang gt.

[HydoDiiNasTy]

centering the wheel is not gonna center the car on the track.

[halox354]

My wheel just twitches it gets annoying

[geezermeezer]

Why are the wheels for xbox are mostly crap!!, crappy design, some don't have shifting gears, foot pedals are weak for some xbox wheels.

I mean, the PS2/PS3 has that mad Logitech G25 wheel and its even compatible with the PC.

Why can't the xbox have a mad wheel like that, from what i can see, PS2 and PS3 has the best wheels available.

If you do a comparison, you shall see that the PS3/PS2 has more variety of wheels than the xbox/xbox 360, thats just plain sux!!!

[XxJjxX4515]

And from what i can see your a goddamn ps3 fanboy.One of the worst kind.Okay everybody fanboy for sale!!

[geezermeezer]

What the hell are you on about?

I have the original xbox and thats about it. I don't even own a PS3 nor 360, can't afford it.

I was just saying that they should make a really good xbox wheel thats all, i'm not saying that the 360 is crap or anything, just saying they should make an xbox 360 wheel like the logitech G25 which has the friggin shifting gears.

Ask yourself this, has the xbox ever had a wheel which has a 6 gear shifter? its only got the sequential gear, up and down.

[XxJjxX4515]

Im just kiddin lol :D everyone has their opinions.Besides i haven't even bought an xbox 360 wireless racing wheel,100 bucks?Not right now.Sorry bout that lol.

[XxJjxX4515]

It's all about the gift shifter though,i mean without it looks to classic,but it's how they make it and ironnically microsoft is not a hardware company,though their doin good right now.Rrod is getting killed off and overheating fixed,as well as more better updates then lastime(really i didn't much like it.).But you gotta admit,the xbox 360 wireless racing wheel looks awesome. :)

[XxJjxX4515]

Besides if i really thought you were why'd would i say "ohh fanboy for sale" thats just stupid lol :D

[HCNguyen86]

the xbox 360 wheel is actually a well made device, sure its not as great as the logitech G25, but the wheel is actually very good.

[geezermeezer]

I'm sure it is, but until i can afford it, i won't know completely on how good the wheel is. Too bad they don't have it out on display to demonstrate it on Forza 2 at games stores :(

[XxJjxX4515]

To make it clear i was joking about that geezermeezer,but about the wheel comparison,well for design imo i have to say thats where microsoft shines,BUT for features both win,force feeback and shifters,but for added things i have to say logitech wins in that part because it has a 6 gear shift and i have to say that is amazing :)

[solodude45]

your rumble isnt on dude. plug in the force feedback i noticed the light wasnt on dude. it will only re-zero is the motors have power running to them.

[walshy1093]

i dunno if youve realised but when your driving youre meant to have your hands on the wheel, that might help. stop winging, it aint that hard to turn a wheel

[26l8l94]

mate get your car on a straight road then let go and shut your eyes and tell me what happens

[Hereticanthem666999]

it does that to be more realistic in real life cars dont straighten them selves u have to do it your self with the wheel its the same principle

[maddenmasters]

your an idiot,if your gonna say that theres a problem with the wheel,make sure you can back it up!! the problem really is you

[cj350zplayer]

force feedback!!! your wheels are going straight so the wheels do too

[tjmclean93]

mine does the same

[xentro01]

you know what the problem of your wheel is it centers to much the 360 wheel shouldn't center itself atall so your wheel problem is that your wheel centers itself lolol

[ScottIsHereRightNow]

I don't think it is made to be centered. I watched a video review about this wheel and it said it doesnt automatically center. (which can be annoying) and that it is made to be more realistic.

[solodude45]

no i have the wheel it recenters you just ahve to plug it in

[pred1994]

You are the problem not the wheel!!!

Silly

[SilentSinX7]

that's why some of us get a G25

[chomidore3]

the wheel moves the same way as the cars wheels are, and when your turning it should feel like power steering

[ukogmickey]

Guys mine is exactly the same and personally I think its plainly obvios whats wrong with this guys wheel, I thought it were just mine that was broke but it seems by this vid most are like this, Yeah its off centre, I mean ive gotten used to it but it should not be like this, My Logitech wheels arnt like this, Its just typical Wire " One " less wheels and Microsoft making rubbish. Logitech would make a killing joining up with Microsoft.

[Kevbo1776]

thats not a problem, that is great!

[ReGrEtTlEsS]

the problem is???

[melkir123]

???????

[austbart]

I know what it is....your driving a FORD!thats the problem!

[iwanthalo3]

rofl. good one lol

[SilentSinX7]

so you think a ford sucks?

[LordParkour]

MEH! lol i've got a bigger problem with my steering wheel ... it's in center pos. BUT the car turns by itself.. when i plug in my controller it works ,,

[dev1ne08]

dude if u look closly u dont have abs or tration on in the game so it will obusly be out of control it has noffing to do with the wheel because i have one and i drive all the time with all the traction off and the abs off and it is harder to control ;)

[Buttfizh]

If u still got warranty on it

Well send it to Repair??

[biggnasty989]

I cannot understand how a good stick could be turned to trash by putting it on the xbox!?! That stick is a PC Saitek X36 flight stick, which is still quite good by todays standards. but having the main stick as digital input is fucking retarted. WHY HAVE AN ANOLOG STICK ON THE THROTTLE? I really believe that Saitek had about 10,000 white shells sitting in a wherehouse for about 5 years and just retooled some parts and made xbox buttons for it and sold them to Kanomi. Whata fucking ripoff!!!

[scoobiduby]

return to store

[mohammadada]

what is the problem

[javedahmed87]

Before starting the race, try turning the wheel all the way to the right, then all the way to the left... that should calibrate it so it could judge the centre point.

[heavymetal999]

no hes meaning wen hes goin straight if u look hard enough the steering whell is slightly angled to the side. this means wen uve been turning, uve been turning way to hard and forcd to far round

[ruthlessR]

WTF

[tiko0707]

are they force feedback?

[306741lock]

yeah

[cowmandaman7]

the wheel is not centering itself, xentro01, the force feedback tries to turn the wheel in the direction the wheels are facing, which is straight, but since it is not meant to be spot on center, thats why it looks like its broken, when really it is just slightly imprecise force feedback.

[xentro01]

lol the power of the xbox 360 racing wheel is that it won't center it self it should stay on the place were you left it so your wheel has indeed got a problem it centers itself lol ha ha ha ha ha

[BrothersButler]

dude

its supposed to stay where ever the wheels of the car are in the game

so if your turning it will stay turned

thats the point of force feedback

[dougdangger]

You never put any effort in turning the whee. Race car drivers use both hands, they don't drive using their fingers!

You're an idiot.

[stakker1234]

I have two Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheels and one tilts to the left and the other one tilts to the right.

[gtarox1]

lucky i want one but i dont have the cash and it tilts to the right beacuse of force feedback and its supoused to stay were u last put it thats a good thing

[zapx33]

im looking for the Thrustmaster GT pro clutch edition

[maverick77714]

Maybe you got driving assist on.

[DvDPlaya]

yeah, im just gonna get the Logitech DriveFX instead...

[cmbecks]

try holding it with 2 hands and grippin it u asshole!
