Hi,
I'm using a Thrustmaster F1 Wheel in CMR and I have to say its great, very
precise handling. In TOCA it was unplayable, the wheel was far too sensitve so
its a great improvement.
Only problem is that the wheel and pedals have an annoying effect on the Menus
even when the w+p's are calibrated well.

    I have this problem too - with just a standard Gravis Analogue Pro. The main
menu spins around of its own accord - other in-game menus are better, but they can
still flick to a different option at the last minute, just as you press return.
The worst effect is that if you finish a rally in the top 3, you are usually
treated to the celebration sequence where the top three cars drive up to a display
ramp. With the joystick problem, the sequence finishes straight away. I have
actually found a workaround - if I hold my stick top-left during this sequence, or
whilst using the menus, everything is fine.
    My stick is calibrated okay - no problems at all with any other game.

I get "twitchy" problems with this, TOCA, F1RS and GPL with the F1 Sim. The
steering system with this wheel isn't particulary well designed. I would
reccommend taking your wheel back and getting a Thrustmaster (that's what I'm
going to do) or splashing out on a TSW,

I had the same mad-menu problem till I changed the tick box in the Joystick
control box from a tick to nothing.
