Guy in my league asked me about this, not sure myself. Anyone ever seen/heard of this? The unit seems to "lose" it's calibration over the course of a race, gets more "twitchy", that's not related to tire wear, fuel level, etc. Running in XP, and trying to use the generic driver in N2002 results in the TSW not being recognized. Thanks. -John
Depends on what pots he has. I read somewhere that Win XP doesn't like pots under a value of 250 ohms (might be because of the USB adapter too).. That might the cause. As far as the "twitchyness" goes, I would guess that might be a heat issue (but don't quote me on that). Furthermore, in the user manual of the TSW, they recommand the use of the "direct input" drivers to achieve better results. John Pancoast wrote:

The generic driver in N4 and N2002 is dead under XP. All the sliders are grayed out. (I run a TSW2 set) I haven't heard of the twitchy problem though. -Paul Eigsti -League & Server admin Western States Racing League www.wsrlracing.com My e-mail address is false.

Not sure about his specific problem, but there are issues with XP and the TSW wheels. The recommended pots for use with XP are the 250K ones. I had bought the 50K ones (88.00 for 4) trying to solve the problem before the TSW site starting recommending the 250K ones which are only 12.00 each. It did make my wheel better going to the 250K pots, but I still am not quite satisfied with the stability. I have ordered the USB adapter from TSW also. Phillip Malphrus Jr. has recently changed his pots to the 250K ones and added the USB adapter, and his wheel now works great, even in F1-2001 which everyone was having issues with when using split axis on the TSW.
