    As long as you are not locked to 90° to any side before meeting the motor lock, yours is another issue at least by symptom, and question is whether it is an issue, or is as designed.

    Since when? Already before, or since just after the update?

    I repeat for the last time, I had the same problem, I solved launching the game with logi profiler off (check also tray bar), you are going on to talk about logi profiler and version, try to turn it off

    just played a minute ago - my wheel is locked at 180 degrees while in the menus - once I am on track it changes to whatever the steering lock settings are in game. FYI

    well, its fine for me, thoo as i was driving i recalled that i had this issue in fact w/ the LFS update...ofc i just needed to recalibrate my wheel. but i am quite sure ive had similar issues w/ R3E, it just wasnt the LAST update, maybe the one before...

    does R3E have an option for axis calibration? one that includes the wheel? if so i think that should solve it right away...

    That'S how it was for me before the update struck. Now that lock from the menus does not go away anymore.

    Digital on-off direction control like at Amiga times and digital joysticks ism not what I expect from a simulation and is not what I spend this awful lots of money for. I'm sitting on a dead game here. An extremely expensive dead game.

    I did not just delete the player folder in MyGames with the personal data, but I uninstalled the whole game from steam, and reinstalled it. As described earlier.

    As I just said, I did not just delete the private data folder (where the profiles are kept), but installed the whole game new. And as I reported, it did not make a difference.

    machweb,

    your solution worked as a workaround! Thank you for your input, therefore.

    However, it is no final solution, but an improvised workaround. Once pressing 1+2+x ingame, the wheel unlocks to 900°, yes - but next time the game gets started, it is locked again, and the work-around must be implied again. So that indicates that the problem causing this mess still is present in the situation. And as I said, the wheel works flawlessly 900° all by itself in all other sims.

    So, the only thing that has changed on my system, has been R3E - it got an update. Logitech was not updated, nor has seen Windows seen an update in the short time I own R3E, I have not updated any drivers, and not the USB drivers either. All that gets changed everyday, are the AV definition libraries for my internet security suite. The ball is in Sector3's half of the field, I think.
