Hello,
    I got a Thrustmaster Formula Force GT Wheel at the weekend and since
installing it's software GPL fails to start with an invalid page fault in
GPL.EXE.  It starts okay with the Generic JS Driver but this means I only
get my standard joystick.  If I switch to Directinput It doesn't start.
Everything else seems to work okay with the wheel.  Has anybody else tried
this?

Jon.

I had the page fault same problem with a Saitek R4, and with a TM SuperSport,
the wheel had to be calibrated and control assignments reset EVERY time you
started GPL.  A lot of the newest wheels are encountering driver problems.  I
had a lesser problem with my new Wingman Formula until I downloaded the updated
beta drivers.  It seems to be a common malady these days.  Try TM's tech
support, if you haven't.

Good luck,

Steve B.
