I presume you have the squash ball under your brake pedal? IMHO It's
essential for any sort of control over the brake pedal. I'm thinking that I
need more resistance under my throttle foot too - I reckon PC wheels are
designed for games like NFS where it's pedal-to-the-metal all the way.

I *meant* to say that's one option I've left ON...<sigh>
No, I don't have the squash ball under the pedal.  The TSW2 doesn't really have
a place for that...

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

Actually, Eldred, I'm using the exact same wheel and pedals, and I find it
*much* easier to drive with than the LWFF (with or without squash ball).

I don't think you can use the pedals as an excuse, I'm afraid (although you
probably knew that anyway!)    ;-)

I've always had the same problems with GPL. (and only GPL) I'm currently working on a two
stage damper system using RC car shocks and swing arms. It will bolt right up to the TSW
frame. When I'm done, I'll post pictures here.

Oh yeah???  Well, what size is your monitor, and what speed is your system...?
