    Its always bothered me how if im stopped my wheel rotates back.

    I am currently using a G27 steering wheel with force feedback.
    I have been searching around the internet for soloutions but could not find ANY.
    just to mention in other simulators like ETS2, this problem or "feature" does not exist or i atleast havent encountered it

    Its the only thing that botheres me when playing beamng.

    PLEASE HELP ME IN THE REPLY SECTION

    I think there’s something in the settings that makes it so that doesn’t happen, but not sure.

    When you disable FFB in BeamNG.drive, the Logitech software will automatically enforce a centering spring.
    When you enable FFB in BeamNG.drive, the Logitech software will disable their centering spring, and you'll instead get the natural simulated forces. These forces will tend to align your steering wheel to the tire contact patch direction. If you steer further, the sidewall flex will eventually rotate the contact patch, which will change where the steering wheel lands when you release it.

    To be clear, we have no "feature", absolutely no code, that tries to recenter the steering wheel. If your stwheel happens to recenter, it's the outcome of how the suspension is designed for the current vehicle.
    For example, if you modify your suspension to reduce caster angle down to zero, the chances are your stwheel will lose any kind of centering effect while stationary. If you increase caster angle to an absurd amount, then the centering effect will be huge, since you are basically trying to lift the entire front of the car through leverage via your arms in the steering wheel. Etc.

    Oh alright, I'll try that and I do have to do it every time right? It'll be kinda annoying but it's better than the centering

    If changing caster does not change FFB, then either you are using a vehicle with some defect (maybe a mod with broken Tuning menu, etc), or you are not really getting ffb. Please disable all mods and try in Safe Mode.
