Keith, what you are seeing may be 'normal', depending on just how
much jitter is going on in the GPL cal screen. Mine looks a
little jittery here too.
For the moment, ignore this and jump into the car. While sitting
in the pits move the steering wheel slowly back and forth
throughout it's range. If the on-screen steering wheel moves
smoothly without any jumps or jerks, then I'd say what you are
seeing in the cal screen is a non-problem. A wandering car on
the track can be related to setup (or in my case, a lack of
practice ;-)
If the on-screen wheel is jumpy, then try cleaning the pots in
the wheel. Given that it's smooth in Win98 cal routine I don't
think this will help, but it probably can't hurt.
Final option if all else fails is to perhaps try a different
soundcard or add a dedicated gameport card (if your soundcard
will permit this).
Rgds 'n Good Luck,
Mark R.
