Hi, I just bought a Gullemot Ferrari FF wheel (the one with the analogue paddles on the back). But it seems the wheel has a fault ... can anyonbe confirm or deny this ?? The calibration of the center position is off by something like 10 to 15 degrees to the right. That is where the calibration utils shows it is centered, and that is where it (sometimes) chooses to revert to by own power. The power that pushes it there is not that strong so I can put it in other positions as well without it gong back to that avkward 15 degrees left ... :( Is there a workaround to this or did I get a faulty wheel ?? Can I somehow calibrate the center position myself ?? I would like some opinions or advice, before I go back to the shop monday morning. Its my first FF wheel and I don't really know what to expect of this thing. best regards Lars -- Lars Wolfgang Andersen ICQ 85807894
If you bought your wheel locally and can exchange it, do it. If it was an online purchase and you don't want to be without it, there is a tweak to fix it. -- Slot Tweaks & Reviews www.slottweak.com "Lars W.
