G27 randomly stops working - Kyle - 2017-07-31 21:21

Solution found in Post #10

Hey, guys!
When I boot up my PC in the mornings, my wheel works fine and I go in LFS for example. It's now 10pm and I want to go back into LFS, and when I do, the wheel is detected, but buttons or axis don't work, without logging off and back on. Very frustrating when I have to save all my work for my wheel.

I've tried:
-Unplugging and plugging in USB
-Making a profile in LGS
-SHIFT + C to reinit. controllers

It works in other games however, just not LFS. Hope someone can help Tongue

Since I downgraded to Windows 7 (which was Saturday)

Maybe Windows 7 is in a powermode which disables USB power after a while?

try lfs options controller then refresh in top right.

mine decides to uncalibrate itself when i minimize lfs sometimes.

I wouldn't've thought so, but I'll have a look.

Apparently opening Beam.NG Drive and closing it reinitialized the wheel and makes it works? Tongue

Found the solution. It seems that LGS sometimes 'goes to sleep' which disables the wheel. I found that re-loading the profile works fine Smile
