    Issue is still appearing as before with the same car.
    I don't know what to do to fix it at this point.

    I tested a lot and always when i slide or my tires are locked during braking the problem is coming. After a pitstop it is everything okay

    I found out what the problem is ... When I turn off tire damage, the problem no longer occurs so the problem is on the tire models
    So someone has a copy of the tire model files from 2-3 months ago and how to replace them???

    That is not possible i'm afraid
    The tires are now a lot more sensitive than before to abuse / off track... for example avoid locking the tires in cars without ABS, and if you go off track the grip will be drastically reduced, it can take several hundred meters before it returns to normal !

    To dispel an untruth here - there is no issue with the tyre model regarding the OP's problems. We introduced a flatspot code which should (and does) vibrate the steering wheel after locking up tyres, however not at severely as those who are experiencing issues. What does appear to be an issue is certain steering wheels do not seem to be able to interpret the flatspot signal correctly.

    If you're having these issues, navigate to your controller .rcs profile and ensure that it contains the following lines below, containing exactly the same lettering;

    Code:
    FFB flatspot magnitude="0.0" // How strong the flatspot rumble is.  Range 0.0 to 1.0, 0.0 disables effect.
    FFB flatspot wave type="0" // Type of wave to use for vibe: 0=Sine, 1=Square, 2=Triangle, 3=Sawtooth up, 4=Sawtooth down.

    Thanks.
    But why aren't these two values in the TS-PC Racer configuration (FFB flatspot magnitude = "0.0" // How strong the flatspot rumble is. Range 0.0 to 1.0, 0.0 disables effect.
    FFB flatspot wave type = "0" // Type of wave to use for vibe: 0 = Sine, 1 = Square, 2 = Triangle, 3 = Sawtooth up, 4 = Sawtooth down.)?

    Not all TM wheels are suffering the same issues. T300 for example has no issues with flatspots (I even turn them up higher)

    They tell how strong the effect will be (Magnitude) and the wave type is what signal is sent to the wheel, some wheels won't support certain wave types.

    I have the TMX and I’m having the same issue that’s in the video. At low speed I get quick oscillations but then turn into strong left and right oscillations that hold to left or right for a few seconds and then turns left and right like there is suspension damage.
    I found the tmx.rcs file In the game files but I don’t see that flat spot line in the file.
    I noticed this while using the 2016 Honda wttc

    What if you just add them?

    Or look in this folder: Documents\my games\SimBin\RaceRoom Racing Experience\UserData\ControlSet\

    If I understand correctly, these are the control set files the game actually uses. The ones you find in Steam folder are just the default ones that the game uses to create a new control set.

    Alright so that didn’t work. I had updated the firmware and drivers thinking that might be the issue but that also didn’t do anything. Just to make sure it wasn’t the wheel it’s self i tested with ACC and pcars 2 and doesn’t happen on those titles.

    - The .rcs files you're using (location: Documents\My Games\SimBin\RaceRoom Racing Experience\UserData\ControlSet)
