I'm after some advice. I have a digital edge steering wheel which is
superb (genuine racing wheel with solid metal shaft etc). It works fine
with most games, except that with Grand Prix Legends, it seems too
sensitive, i.e. when the car is staionary, you can see the steering
wheel on screen slightly shaking around the centre point. I am using a
thrustmaster ACM game card.

This makes it difficult to play the game. I have set the steering
response to fully non-linear in the game, but it still is a little
unstable. Does anyone know of a solution to stabilise the output either
using electronics or software?

Simon.

Is this with both the directx driver and the generic driver?

If you are using the direct input option, you may want to make sure that
you have "poll with interrupt" disabled in the advanced Games Controller
applet.

If this is happening with the generic, you may want to try experimenting
by "de-tuning" your ACM card.
