Me too!!!My joystick used to do that in NASCAR 1.  When I got N2 it didn't
happen at first, now it does.  It happens alot in ICR2.  This pisses me off.
And it only happens in Papyrus sims.  Whats up with that?
I still run GP1, and I have NO PROBLEMS.  I have had three different joystick
and now I have a wheel, and I have had the same problem with all of them in
Papyrus sims. =[
Somebody please respond....we need help

  I have the exact problem with my CH wheel until I installed the
Sierra 1.02 to 1.03 patch. After that... smooth steering. I'll add
that I also had a really hard time just calibrating the wheel since it
gave a glitch responsed something during the move the joystick in
all directions period. The numbers on the right side would jump from
880 or so to almost 1500. I thought the controls insidethe joystick
were getting dirty or worn, till I notice when I calibrated in the Win
95 joystick calibration sequence inthe control panel that all was
well.

If it's not dirty pots (which could be the problem), I also think that
Papyrus may have a more sensitive joystick reading algorithm than many
sims.  I do know that at the first sign of twitching in Papy sims, a
quick cleaning of the pot clears it up right away.
