My wheel only turns 90 Deg. to the right, but it turns almost 180 to the left.
Any ideas/solutions?

Dur....that's not normal.
What is your sensitivity set at? (degrees of rotation)

270 Deg. for sen.
Only when powered, out of game and in game as well. When off, it rotates 2 1/2 times either direction.
It only hampers me if I'm trying to correct a right hand spin, because I never turn the wheel that far. But last night I had a spin I could have gathered up if the wheel would have turned a bit more.
Until then I had not noticed it. But now it is bugging the hell outta me.
it's like it's not centered internally.

You should be getting 135 degrees rotation in each direction, so the "almost 180" to the left sounds normal.
have you installed any drivers or anything of the sort?

Sounds to me like the wheel is not centered properly. If it turns 90 degrees right and 180 left, that adds up to 270, but the center is off. You can probably calibrate that in the game and PC driver, but you will have to center the actual wheel. To center the GT2 wheel, it must first be in PC mode and connected to a PC. Then physically center the wheel, then hold the LSB and RSB buttons (the two lower buttons on the left wheel spoke) and push the Xbox guide button. Release all three buttons and the wheel will be centered. Then you should have 135 degrees rotation each way with the wheel set to 270. Here is a link for the manual if you need it: us.fanatec.com/download/Porsche_GT2_Manual.zipCheck page 26 (PDF document page) which is Section 6.3 of the manual. |

Thanks Jarhead, that did it. I didn't even know there was an on line manual.
Downloaded and printed out.

That's actually brilliant troubleshooting Jarhead... 90+180, it's so obvious after you read it, but I'd not have thought of it.
