If you have an older wheel with pedals you like more, you can have
both wheels turned on in Windows (notice all those extra slots for
other game controllers?) Put the FF wheel in the first slot and the
old gameport wheel/pedals in the other. GPL will notice all the
different axes connected to the game (there is a "next page" button on
the calibration dialog). You can then use your older pedals along
with the FF wheel. That is what I'm doing. As far as whether the RS
pedals smooth out after a week, I don't think so. I've been using the
RS pedals for TOCA 2 almost constantly (since it doesn' see all those
axes) and they still bind up, but then I haven't taken any measures
yet to fix the problem (vaseline, oil or whatever)
