Try using the Logitech G25 drivers instead. Just install the G25 drivers and connect the PWTS in PS3 mode to use them, some games feel completely different with it (CARS, rF, rF2, etc). I personally use the G25 drivers in most games now on PC.
quick edit: You can still keep the fanatec drivers on the pc, it doesn't cause any problems from what I've seen. So basically you can use both drivers depending on the mode you connect the wheel in (hold back/select and the connect button for PS3 mode I think and just the connect button for PC)
OMG Thank you SO MUCH! This is a completly different world now! The Fanatec using the G25 driver + disabling the spring in the debug menu makes it almost perfect. Maybe a bit of fine tuning left to do but overall this is very playable right now (which is 200% better than before lol).
I just had the most amazing experience I EVER had in a racing game. I started a race at Spa in a Formula A at 6am. It was pitch black (there's obviously no lights on a formula car) so I sat there in my cockpit waiting for the sun to rise (I was set at 60x). A couple of minutes later I started seeing a bit of blue light coming up at the top of Ear Rouge. Five more minutes and I was seeing enough to go so I started to drive slowly and I was getting more and more light as I was going around the track. The lighting system is so fucking amazing that I was getting shade/darks area followed right after with super bright zones when there was clearings in the trees that would let the sun pass trough.
I was imagining myself alone in the morning in the middle of the forest with the F1 engine as the only sound for miles around.
Seriously, this was almost emotional, the most amazing thing I have ever experienced in a game.
