Ne1 using this by chance? I can't calibration to stay.....keeps
pulling to the left....recalibrate several times within N4 and still
no fix.

Will get Wheel again sometime, just no space for it as of right now
and it's KILLING ME> hahah

I've tried leaning to the right to counteract the left-pull  - doesn't
work so need some alternative fixes!

NE info would be greatly apprecaited -- other than try 'keyboard'

Cars in N4 pull to the left because that's the way the chassis is set
up.  It is not a calibration problem, it's something you have to deal
with no matter what controller you are using.  If you are stuck without
a wheel for awhile I would suggest playing it in arcade mode instead of
sim mode, since the arcade model doesn't have such a severe left pull.
If you must play in sim mode, at least get a joystick.  You can't
counteract the left pull without some kind of proportional steering
control.

I figured it would hav little pull to left, but as soon as i hit gas
it goes WAY left......I'm runnning California and go into turn and get
thrown sideways everytime.

Think I'm gonna borrow buddies controller and see if it is same or if
mine is little more severe

when i calibrate joystick it shows arros line up centre...once i leave
and then go back after trying to drive....arrows are no longer lined
up!

thanks for reply though

If you really want a quick check for it, put N4 in arcade mode.  If pull
to the left is gone-controller is fine.  Left pull in N4 != controller
problems.

You might want to try switching between the Direct Input driver and the
optimized driver and see if that makes any difference.  The setting is
somewhere in the N4 Controls menu.

ANOTHER wheel!
