Off-center Logitech FFGP?

I just got a Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP (whew) wheel and, while it most definitely kicks ass, I can't figure out how to center the wheel. I tried setting the center with the calibration program, which did nothing. As it is, the wheel self-centers a tad off to the right. Left and right full lock are about even, which means there's slightly less motion to the right than to the left. It's more of a gripe than a serious problem, but I'm wondering if there's something that I'm missing.

Do you have the centering springs turned on?

I *did*. Now autocenter is shut off. Life is better now, thanks! Now... to see if there are any old Mazda Rotary cars for SCGT... then my life will be complete.

I guess it's a pot-imperfection problem. Can be cured by soldering in a compensation resistor IMO. JensSchumi
