Thanks James….yes, patience is the key word here. I need to change adjust a ‘bit’ at a time.

Thanks again

George

Hey George,

Happy new year to you as well.

So happy to hear you got the Mad Catz wheel working. My best advice for driving is to start with this article on Forza 6. Ultimately though it takes a lot of patience and practice.

Hi James and Happy New Year…..

So I tried the MC on my Xbox One just in case some patch blocked the ‘S’ from working and it worked fine BUT in the process of hooking up to the Xbox One, I stretched the power line a bit and it separated from the power block it was attached to. What I’m trying to say is that I didn’t realize there was another place where I could have a power ‘leak’. Well, when I plugged that back in, the MC worked fine on the Xbox One so I took it apart and tried it on the Xbox One S and sure enough, it worked.

It was that other power connection I didn’t realize that was there that did it.

Sorry for the long explanation but now to fine tune the steering cause I can’t steer these cars for anything now!

(Any hints would be appreciated)

George

Hey George,

Happy holidays and new year to you as well.

The Mad Catz Wheel should work on the Xbox One S. I haven’t used my Mad Catz wheel in a long time, but I did test it on the XB1 S when it was first released and it powered up and raced fine. Have you tried Mad Catz tech support.

So you think your issue is with the wheel or with the XB1 S?

I think I may need some more details to understand the issue.

-James

Hope you had a great Holiday and Happy New Year. Yes, a long running thread but I thought I’d run this question by you anyway. After a very long time, my daughter pushed me to break out the MAd Catz Pro Force driving wheel for my new Xbox One S.

NOTHING!

No power…..

IF memory serves, I remember having a flaky power issue on my Xbox One console over a year ago. I have tried realigning the wheel with the ‘red’ markings but nothing.

Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated since this device no longer shows up on the Mad Catz website for support.

Best,
George

Hi Melissa,

Ive never had this issue before, but lets start with the basics:
1. Power off the console.
2. Unplug the power cable located at the back of the console (the console’s power supply LED turns ORANGE).
3. Leave the racing wheel connected to the console.
4. Reconnect the power cable located at the back of the console (the console’s power supply LED turns WHITE).
5. Power on the console again using the XBOX button located on the console (do not use the XBOX button on the controller).
6. Start the game using the racing wheel; be careful not to turn the controller on!

• To avoid any calibration problems:
– Never turn the wheel or press on the pedals when connecting the racing wheel or starting a game.
– Always connect the pedal set to the racing wheel before connecting the racing wheel’s USB connector to the console.

– In FORZA MOTORSPORT 6, you can adjust your racing wheel’s settings in the FORZA PROFILE/CONTROLLER WHEEL

I don’t believe there are any settings in the forza Controller wheel menu that would invert the steering, but take a look. Make sure you are using “Layout 1” in the controller options menu.

This idea probably wont work, but might be worth trying:
Your racing wheel offers four sensitivity levels:
– 1 = NORMAL (default) – 2 = LOW –
– 3 = VERY LOW – 4 = MINIMUM

To adjust the racing wheel’s sensitivity setting, press the four following buttons simultaneously, then release them:
Lever DOWN (LB) + Lever UP (RB) + Button Y + Button B
(the racing wheel’s white LED flashes, according to the selected sensitivity setting)
Racing wheel sensitivity setting (LB + RB + Y + B)

Flashing white LED blinks according to the sensitivity setting:
Sensitivity setting 1 = NORMAL Once
Sensitivity setting 2 = LOW Twice
Sensitivity setting 3 = VERY LOW 3 times
Sensitivity setting 4 = MINIMUM 4 times
Sensitivity setting 1 = NORMAL Once

For Forza 6 try a setting of 3 or 4. I don’t think this will fix the inverse issue, but its worth testing.

Keep me posted if you continue to have an issue.

Hey Chris,

Thanks for leaving a comment. Unfortunately there is no resolution for this issue. Turn 10 is not very responsive to these kind of things. Thats actually one of the biggest differences between Horizon 3 and Forza Motorsport. When issues like this come up in Horizon 3 Playground games listens to the community and does a patch to fix it…Turn 10 ignores most of this kind of feedback. I love FM6 and I race it often with my TX, but the issue is just something I have come to except.

I am not aware of the issue continuing in Apex, but as you said the wheel support is delayed so I truly have no way of knowing. So far FH3 is fine with wheel support on the PC, but there are other issues for racing peripherals such as the Thrustmaster TH8A shifter and Thrustmaster T3PA pedals don’t work with the game on PC. So you could use your wheel, but not other stuff from the thrustmaster eco-system.

I know this is a long running thread, but just came across it last night. I am curious if anything ever came of this issue with a wheel going nuts after playing for awhile? I am running the TM TX, T3PA & TH8A and have had F6 Edition Xbone since day 1 release.

I agree, this has to be a Forza6 issue. H2, H3, Dirt Rally, PCars and AC do not have this problem.

You mentioned restarting the game itself. I have been switching off the wheel and that clears the issue. Seems like something happens and all of a sudden the wheel glitches; pulling to the left and getting crazy heavy.

The issue obviously still exist, as it just happened again last night. Very annoying. I am grinding through all the series on Pro, Full Damage and all assists off after not playing F6 for a bit. And here we are a year later and still having this issue.

I am mostly curious if Turn10 has actually said anything as I haven’t been able to find any comments other than reports of the issue. Funny enough, I picked up PCars after AC got delayed the second time, then AC came out and was a bit of a disappointment (drives fine just to much repetition) which brought me back around to Forza with H3. LOL

I am also curious if this issue is happening in Apex, since that is a port to PC instead of the other way around. Wheel support being delayed on the initial beta release, which I thought was strange. I am seriously considering next year going to PC racing. But that is a leap I am just not ready to make yet.

Thanks for your time and a great article, even if I did find it a year later. LOL

Chris

Hi David,

You are correct, you can adjust the sensitivity of the 920, but to do so you will need to hook the wheel up to a PC. Use this article for instructions: Adjust sensitivity on the G29 and G920 racing wheels with Logitech Gaming Software

Also if you haven’t done this yet you could also lower the force feedback in the options menu inside the game. Go To OPTIONS, select Controller/Wheel tab, Press “X” for Advanced wheel settings, and then Force Feedback is towards the bottom of the settings.

Keep me posted if you are still having issues,
-James
