My Problem:
When I initially calibrate my Wheel all axes are calibrated at the proper
max and min limit (0 to 655). After about 15 minutes of driving the
calibration of the accelerator axis (split axis configuration) messes up and
my car slows down considerably when the accelerator is fully depressed (this
happens in Grand Prix Legends, Grand Prix 3, as well as F12000, so it's
probably not an issue with a specific game) When I go to the properties
section of the Windows Game Controllers Setup screen and step on the
accelerator, the needle only goes to the first orange line instead of all
the way to the third. This happens both when I launch my game with the
profiler and when I launch the game directly using its executable file. It
happens after about 15 minutes of driving. I have restarted the computer,
disconnected the controller, and used the clrcalib utility to remove all
calibrations and have reinstalled the profiler (version 3.62). None of these
offer a permanent solution. They will temporarily fix my calibration but
after 15 minutes, it still messes up. I don't run any programs in the
background when I play other than the profiler, and I have disabled all
programs that start automatically using msconfig. It happens both in OpenGL
and Direct3D.
System specs:
Athlon 500 on Gigabyte GA-7IX MB with F4 bios
Creative Labs Annihilator Pro with 6.18 Driver
Sound Blaster Live Value
Windows 98 with Directx 7.0a
Cable Modem
192MB Ram
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Nate
Known problem:
Some of the pots are not perfectly smooth. When the pot spikes, the electronics
sets new limits (takes the spike-peek as 100%)
Solution:
change brake and throttle pot. Hope that the other one is better.

BTW typical case for the LWFF-forum
BTW2: for the timebeing it's enough to unplug-replug the connector to the wheel.
Recalibrate and enjoy another 15 min of smooth driving.
