My wheel's center calibration will not stay put.  Oddly, it occurs between
menus and not while driving.  For instance;  I start GPL and do some training
laps, having calibrated the wheel after PC startup.  All is well so far.  After
doing some laps, I decide to race.  I go into race mode - without touching the
wheel or pedals.  Then, as soon as I'm in the car again, it pulls badly to one
side, forcing me to turn the wheel 20+ degrees to keep going straight, even
coasting on a straight(not a cold tire thing).  If I then go into the
calibration (direct input option) menu in the game, I can sometimes get it to
center again, but usually the center ends up significantly off after the normal
left-right routine.  If I quit the game and go back to the Windows game
controllers/properties box, the settings look fine.  But if I recalibrate there
and then restart the game, it sorts it out till the next occurrence.  Sometimes
the center moves right, others left.  Sometimes it happens going from practice
to race, others going back and forth to the setup menu (even without making any
changes), still others when reloading a saved race.  But it ALWAYS happens as
soon as you hit the driving mode from a previous screen, and never changes once
you're driving.  My wheel works fine in other games and looks ok with various
joystick utlities - no jitter, etc.

Any takers?

This happens to me too.  I dont have wheel but i have a joystick and it seems
to mis-calibrate itself for no reason.  I keep having to play with the axis
adjuster sliders on the stick to keep it straight.  

I wish i knew what to do to fix it permanantly.

    I'm using a T2 without the gamecard,and I haven't had any problems with
calibrating my wheel in gpl.
