        Not remotely true for Schumacher and not true for Martin,
although pretty close (maybe even too much) for 1967 GP style racing,

        Besides, since you only have to do the FF once/game a proper
analogy would be fitting yourself to the seat/pedals/wheel of a new
racing car.

It's one of the nice features of GPL 1.1 FF ... finally the car feels
like a car at highspeed (I'm not sure what it felt like to me before
... a 200 mph skateboard or something).

     Setup a profile for GPL. I did,and everything works perfectly.

In a profile,I can only assign keystrokes and macro's to buttons, and adjust
deadzone and split axes. The ff level and centering force are setup in the
controller section of control panel as far as I can see. I can not set these
differently for different games.
I am using the Sidewinder software 3.0 that came with the wheel.

The steering is starting to feel ok, but there is no centering force in GPL,
although it is set to max in the control panel.
