I doesnt seems to matter how much graphics i turn on/off or on the
framerate.
Anoyone got any clue to this.

If you've got Polling turned on in the Joystick app (See Windows
Control Panel) then turn it off. It worked for me.

You know, I'm not sure what that polling thing is for. But I do know
that when I deselected it that I no longer had the steering suddenly
jerking now and again. It was such a relieve getting rid of it...I
suffered from it for a long time not realising how easy it was to
cure.
Perhaps it only happens for certain hardware combinations?

to err is human -- to forgive is bovine.
It's "Poll with interrupts enabled" which means that interrupts (e.g. the
timer) are allowed while the joystick device driver is checking (polling)
the joystick input. I don't know exactly what this does on a modern PC (the
original game cards used to work out the input voltage by timing how long a
capacitor took to discharge, so throwing in a few hundred extra cycles would
cause havoc) but an occasional lump of processing in the middle of
calculating the joystick position presumably still messes things up.
Thanks for the tip, Kulvinder, I have just started playing GP3 again and was
having the same problem, the car weaving madly at speed.
OK, next question. Why would you want interrupts enabled while polling?

Wasn't the 'reason' for the poll with interupts was because joysticks were
soooo crappy and windows joystick code was soooo bad that you couldn't
maintain calibration and control? It was a stop-gap fix that has been left
in afaik

Very. I have a USB LWFF and it had the problem. Explain that!
