Extending wheel rotation on Logitech Formula Force EX
Xiaou2:
--- Quote ---Just an FYI, when setting up around 60 pc games with a G27, I had to reduce the rotation to 200 degrees or less on most of them for the controls to feel right. More rotation just equals slower steering when it comes to games.

This is because of the way the games were programmed. It probably scales the full calibrated range of input values. So, unless the game is programmed to accept higher resolution... (More values), then it will always reduce the movement in-game. This does actually give you more precise control.. but since that control is too slow... its becomes unusable.
You Might be able to re-calibrate the controller, but stop early rather than go to its full stop extremes. In this way... windows would tell the game that its values were reduced. I dont know what would happen if, during the game... you went past those values. Also, I dont know if games can over-ride or if they auto/re-calibrate in-game. (The arcade version of Starwars auto calibrates as its being used. Not sure if its constant, a timed event, or only done when its first powered up.. then turned off when its established)
If you could calibrate short - you could make a mechanical solution for changing the physical travel. Race Drivin used a threaded rod system for its drive shaft travel limiter. Really cool stuff.
