No matter what I do, I can't get any kind of decent control with my Thrustmaster T2 wheel. I've tried every different linearity setting from zero to 100, and I've tried every conceivable steering ratio. I think this older wheel just doesn't have the quality I need. What is the best wheel to use these days? Thanks B
My opinion, go with the TSW line of wheels. Very precise. Brian Carabee wrote:

I'm still using an old T2 and find it very smooth in N4. I have my settings about 90% linear. Also make sure you don't have a bad pot and ensure that your game port is good. I've had several sound cards with very jittery game ports. As touchy as N4 can be I bet with a bad pot or jittery game port it would be undriveable. JTRIV Brian Carabee wrote:

I'm using an InterAct V4 wheel, with no problems. JTRIV, were you racing the other night? Eric Carr Routerhead #98 On Sat, 24 Feb 2001 08:50:15 GMT, JTRIV <[email hidden]> wrote:
