What do you mean? I have a TM T2 wheel/pedals and it is fine. Please
describe what you mean about the steering is not analog. It is for me...

Didn't you claim to be a real driver or something? Anyway, this is not
like GP2 or World Circuit. What I didn't like about those 2 games was
that you could easily negotiate corners by going down to a gear and
flooring it. You could nover go off in some corners if you were in a low
enough gear.  This is what gave the impression that GP2 and World
Circuit were on rails at times. So... What second gear corner are you
talking about? And why do you think you can take it at full throttle?
Chances are that you can't do that and simply need to slow down.

BTW, aren't you the same person who started 2 threads on F1RS
Awful? At least you do appear to give it a decent chance.

To turn I have to go to full lock, either way -left or right, for he car to
turn!

Yes. I am.

You miss-understand me.  In GP2 and in REAL RACE CARS with power, if you
give it too much right-foot, the rear lose traction - (wheel spin) and you
oversteer.  You can't in F1RS.  It must have traction control.  It's
completely unrealistic to have traction control (unless of course it was
modelled on 1992/93 !!!!)  Either that or it has  a fixed rear axle with no
differential - full slip or not!!

Yea.  They were my first impressions of the game and remain so.  I've spent
the money on the blasted thing, so I'm trying my best to suss it.  Not that
it should need sussing!!!!

Something is definitely wrong here.  Did you calibrate the controller
successfully in Win95 and does it move correctly in the "test" box that is
provided in the calibration scheme.  Also, you can change the steering
sensitivity in the control menu in the game.  I have mine set to 100%
sensitive.  I think if you set it lower, you need more steering input to
turn the car.  Also play with these settings for gas and brake.

Make sure you have all of the aids off.  In the menu screen, there is a
scroll down button that accesses additional options.  The wheels definitely
loose traction when adding power.  In fact, the major challenge is to go
easy enough on the throttle so that the rear wheels don't spin.

Any GOOD driver will tell you throttle control is MOST important.
