Best operating range for FFB Arcade plugin on MAME for Logitech G920?

[PepsiBoy428]

What is the best operating range to use with my Logitech G920 wheel with Boomslangnz's FFB Arcade plugin with MAME on Logitech G HUB? I'm trying to set it up again since I had to switch from Logitech Gaming Software to Logitech G HUB for a firmware update reason, Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I've been out of the loop for quite a while, but in my outdated experience...

270° for most arcade games.  Hard Drivin' & Race Drivin had 900° wheels if you feel inclined to figure out how to set them up separately.

150° or less for console games that were meant to be played with a thumbstick.  The wheel can't turn as fast as a thumbstick.  Dropping to a narrow range that you can move through quickly makes the games more playable.

The most important thing is reducing MAME's default 30% deadzone to something like .05 and changing the saturation to 1 (100%).
See the old stickied driving cab info thread for other settings I may be forgetting.

Thanks for the setting suggestion but I am having a problem, I set it to 270 degrees on G Hub on my MAME profile but MAME still thinks it's set to 900 degrees on my wheel.

Sorry I have no experience with G Hub, only profiler.  If possible I would set the default to 270 and make sure it works as such in windows, then have 900 profiles for PC games that support it.  Make sure your MAME exe is named correctly (mame64, mameui, etc).

Not sure if the -joystickprovider setting in mame.ini would make a difference.  You might try setting it to dinput if it is set to auto or xinput.

Make sure to test outside of your front-end to make sure the front-end isn't screwing anything up.

Last resort workaround is that you could set saturation to 0.3  I am not sure if that would affect the resolution and make the steps jerky.  You won't feel the stops at 270, but the game should play better.

If anyone who has configured this stuff more recently can chime in, please do.

I just had a play with Virtua Racing and my Logitech G920 (using G HUB) and it seems to work okay if you set wheel operating range to 270 (though 180 matches the steering wheel angle inside the car). If you want the force feedback to provide a force when you reach the edge of the wheel, tick CENTERING SPRING IN NON FORCE FEEDBACK GAMES in G HUB (you might need to increase centering spring strength.

Note: the deadzone and saturation things probably still apply, plus might need more tweaking as my pedals went a bit funny when using split axis, but the range part works.
