    Hey folks, tried ams2 with my new alpha mini today and worked great, but i tired raceroom and it seem like i have to turn the wheel way more just to get the car around. Wheel angle and limit angle are both set to 900 in alpha manager, and steering sensitivity is set to 50% in game.

    Any tips on how to get more responsive steering?, thanks.

    My guess is, Ams2 can set your rotation angles automatically to match the car default while R3E can't. In that case try setting the angle manually in your wheel's drivers/program. 900 degrees is too much for most cars in R3E.

    You need to manually set the rotation to match the car in alpha manager. The simagic software doesn't do this automatically like Logitech/thrustmaster/fanatec/simucube do. Blame simagic for their terrible software. (It's the only thing stopping me buying one, as the hardware is great)

    their is a sync button in simagic which should set the rotation properly, raceroom is the only game it doesnt seem to work with, would something like 540 degrees be good?

    540 is more or less standard for GT3 cars so a decent starting point. If you were to set up as 540 on the wheelbase then you should match that with the cars in the setup menu. Ideally you'd probably want formula cars lower, something like 360 so you'd want multiple profiles. I don't kno how other games go about setting their rotation, probably they provide their own softlock and just ignore the rest of the rotation. In any case, I think it's an oversight for simagic to not use the same kind of rotation setting that other popular wheels are using, it means having to use workarounds. I'm very impressed with the simagic as a package, the QR and such is industry leading. A shame they can't follow the norms software wise.

    I have the Simagic m10, racerooms is the only sim I have multiple profiles and rotations set up :(
    I have several profiles actually now I think about it likely around 5 for different rotations.

    what i did was set it up for 540 and just left it, seems to do well in most cars., Its annoying because ams2 does it automatically.

    Your wheel does it automatically though, why would you run a fixed rotation of you don't have to?
