Steering was OK in 1.0 version,but after I installed 1.2.0.1 patch my
steering wheel feel changed. It become loose around center.
It happens just  around center. It feels like FF is off, but just around
center of the wheel. I was looking in ini files but I found nothing. Does
anyone how  to make it more stiff around center?
I have Logitech Wingman Formula Force and 4.25 drivers.

Same problem here with the MS FB wheel.
Also had the problem before the patch. However, the Beta patch worked
great!!! There was no play in the wheel. I actually felt the FF working.

The only tracks I'm experiencing the " loose wheel " is Dega and daytona.
The other tracks are " loose " but not as bad.
To get the car to go straight  ( dega, tona) my wheel is turned at the 11
and 5 o'clock position.   (  \  )  When I enter a turn there is no steering
left until I hit the 8 and 2 o'clock position   (  /  ) and then the FB
kicks in. And no its not the camber or setup that is causing this... It's a
software bug. A Known bug!.

Funny thing is, as soon as I leave the server the FB kicks in and the wheel
tightens up and moves itself to the proper position. 9 and 3 o'clock. But as
soon as I enter a server.. the FB lets go and feels like there is no spring
tension. And yes, the FB  in game is set to the max.

One way I found to combat this problem is, and only works one time.
Before I boot my pc, I'll have to unplug the wheel. (no power going to the
FB). When I enter a server. Enter the track. I'll plug the wheel in and the
FB is tightens up and all is well. Downside. If the host resets, I'm
screwed. If I leave the server and enter another, the wheel will go back to
being loose.
Dunno why???

I've got exactly the same issue. I thought my wheel was dying but it's only
in N2003 1.2.0.1 that it does it.
Momo race wheel.

Try to erase your player and create another one after the patch
installation.

that doesn't work. After the patch I un- installed and reinstalled the game.
Its a bug in the game itself. The beta patch had this issue taken care of.
Why it doesn't work know? no clue?

That's odd because my steering finally feels the way it should have all
along only after applying the latest patch.  Try playing with *all* the
adjustments and make sure you are using the full linear (like real cars)
setting.

Very odd indeed. I can't see a difference with the 1.2.0.1 patch
playing texas with the MOMO. Except I think I had to reset the Force
Feedback strength in the options menu. Make sure it's 100% if you
think the force feedback feels too weak!! But in any case I definitely
didn't have any "loose" wheel problem. It felt tight just fine around
center position...
