Set this line to a positive number and not a negative. The recommended
settings for this line are the opposite of what it should be if you have the
USB version of the MSFF wheel. They must have tested it with a gameport
version.
FFB_Steer_Force_Input_Max=(6800.000000) // Recommended: 7000 (-7000 if
controller pulls in the wrong direction)
Yes, but Pat used the gameport version of the MS wheel. On the USB version
you must take out the - value or you will get the effect the original poster
is describing.
No, he already has it at a negative number. That's what the problem is. He
needs a positive number on that specific wheel.

The joystick setting puts the throttle and braking effects
on the Y axis of the joystick.
The wheel setting will put the throttle and braking effects
on the X (steering) axis. In my settings, those effects are
turned off. I chose to use the joystick settings with a
wheel because I never want those other effects interfering
with steering forces.
