Strange centering issue in multiple sims
-
Hello,
I encountered an issue this week during an endurance race in iRacing where when a heavy jerking movement happens, the wheel comes out of center. Over a heavy curb hit, I noticed that the steering felt strange, and then when I exited the corner my wheel was 30 degrees to the left. Initially I thought it was suspension damage until I did it again over another curb, slightly straightening it to 15 degrees off center. Eventually throughout the stint it made its way to 70 degrees off center when I pitted and hit the Center Wheel button, which fixed it momentarily, but it happened again.
The next day, I practiced on rF2 at Sebring and encountered the same issue. The feedback didn't quite feel the same as I remembered, and it would also come out of center through Sunset.
Any support would be welcome as I can't afford to miss too much practice. Currently I'm on v19.08.06. @Sim-plicity-Dev

From your description, I suspect the wheel adapter is slipping on the motor shaft (in high torque events) leading to rotation not being accurately measured.
Can you check that the 5 centre bolts on the wheel adapter are fully tightened, it can be a deceptively lengthy process as once one bolt is tight, the opposite bolt has a bit more available travel.

@sim-plicity-dev Yep, looks like this was the issue. Didn't think it would be so obvious, haha. Must have come loose over time. Thanks for your help!
