Also, awhile back, there was a series of posts here with specific F1
2001 FF settings for various controllers.  Could someone either point me
to the post for the LWFF settings, provide a url for those settings, or
re-post them here?

I had to reformat my Drive C and lost all of this stuff.

Thanks!
Bert

you can find the info you need about modifying the FF settings here:

All the best,

That second link is for the Momo Wheel.  I have the old LWFF.  I remember
separate settings being posted for the LWFF.  Can you point me towards those, or
are they the same as the Momo?

Thanks,
Bert

I found an old post (one of mine, in fact) that had the info I needed.

I have the old LWFF wheel and the default settings are fine as long
as spring centering is turned off for FF.
