to be a period of adjustment. I thought I had made a huge mistake when I
switched to my present wheel last year but, after a couple of days I had
equalled or bettered my times. Just give it some time.

FWIW, I find that every time I switch from one wheel to another,
regardless of the manufacturer, my lap times suffer until I adapt to
the new setup. When changing from one controller to another, I find
that the pedals respond differently than I'm used to, the braking
requires a different touch, and the spring tension and centering
responses of the wheel are all different -- which means I have to
adapt. This is even true when switching between my TSW2 and my TSW to
some extent, and they're close enough that the differences are almost
negligible.
Stick with it -- you'll be faster than ever before you know it!

One thing to consider: when you get a smoother wheel it may be possible
to move the linearity slider further to the left, as this would have
been a problem with a more 'notchy' wheel.
If you can control the twitchiness in the centre, you then get more
smoothness as you turn the wheel - if you try it with the on-screen
wheel displayed you can see how the 'virtual' wheel responds as you move
the real one.
Of course, altering this setting might make you even slower until you
get used to it!
Buster,
I'm sure it could be done but you'd defeat both strong points of our
equipment by doing so, TSWs and TSW2s are designed to be very precise and to
be unbreakble and replacing the main strength and precision components would
turn it into just another controller :(.
We could do an FF wheel to our standards of quality, the only prob is nobody
could afford what we;d have to charge to make any money on them.
