I tried that.  Before -- wheel at 2:00 to go straight.  After -- wheel at
1:30, slight steering movements generate MAJOR tire movements.  My solution
was to back linearity down to 90%, raise wheel lock, and recalibrate.  The
only problem with recalibration (which is akin to re-centering the wheel in
a real car) is that it needs to be done to different degrees at each track.
A slider bar right next to the linearity setting would simplify that process
greatly.

<sigh>...here we go again...
I don't have a problem with the feel of the wheel.  Even though the steering
pulls to the left, you don't SEE it on TV because the wheel is re-mounted an an
angle that makes it straight.  I'd guess that the drivers STILL have to apply
the turning force to the right - you just can't see it.  What I *do* think will
cause problems is running in close packs of traffic.  I see it causing many
accidents because you can't be as precise while you're fighting the wheel.
Have you ever driven laps in GPL with damaged suspension?  It's the same feel -
you have to hold the wheel off-center to go (sorta) straight.  Not that easy.

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...
