Can Thrustmaster wheels be wired differently to correct calibration
problems. Mine jumps around near the center running N2. I have replaced
the pedals with my own version using the same pedal wiring with no
problems. I've tried replacing the pot in the wheel with a 100k but had
the same problems. This happens with all tracks where you need to drive
with the wheel just slightly turned in spots. You can see this in the
calibration also...jumping around towards the center.

If the problem persists with 100k pot, the cause maybe in your game
controller card.  You might want to look into getting an adjustable game
controller card.

The problem wasn't in the pots because I switched them back and fourth,
What did fix it at least in Win95 is the Pro Panel program downloaded
from Thrustmaster's site. Can't really complain about the wheel but I do
plan to replace it with my own desine when the bungie breaks...Thanks
