According to the setup guide, I should put a check on
Enable Centering Spring, BUT set the strength to zero
(yes, I made a profile for NR2003).  If the strength is
zero, then it shouldn't snap back, unless something
else is to blame.  It never happened with my old MS
Sidewinder...

: Do you have any Steering Assist set in the sim?  If so, try lowering it
til
: snap back stops.

I used a basic  MOMO setup guide to get my Saitek going since there did not
seem to be any guidelines for that wheel.  I had to fine tune it a good bit
and found that having the box checked did help but not with the kickback.  I
had to mess with the dampening in the game and system settings to find the
combination that gave me the best ff feel without yanking the wheel out of
my hand.   set to 44 in system and 18 in game for overall damping effects.
now I swear I can feel if I roll over a rock, hit a curb, etc.. but the
wheel only has a little top dead center snap when changing direction in
corners, you know oversteer :-)
