You can use the handbrake to make the tight turns. It takes a little
practice but can be the fast way around.
If you remove the cover to your wheel assembly, it is easy to remove the
wheel stops, two small plastic rings, and increase your wheel travel. If you
do this, I suggest turning off the self-calibration as it slams the wheel
against the metal stops when it calibrates.

A wheel has a slower response than a joystick or gamepad because it
actually takes more movement in the wheel (in terms of angle of
deflection) to produce the same result. Anytime I even switch between
wheels, in fact, my lap times go down until I learn to adapt to the
different controller.
There's nothing wrong with your wheel -- just adapt your style, learn
to brake and steer more smoothly, and incorporate the handbrake when
needed (sparingly). Also, remember that you're literally FIGHTING
against the forces from your LWFF wheel as you steer into the turns,
whereas the gamepad didn't do anything but respond when you twiddled
your thumb for turn-in. It's going to SEEM like it's harder to steer
as sharply because it's taking more effort on your part, actually, so I
would guess that the LWFF is working fine.
In short: Practice, practice, practice.

Before you buy.
I was using my Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad to play NFSPU and just got a
LWFF. First thing I notice in NFSPU is that I can't turn as sharp - any way
to fix this to make the wheel turn more for the same distance wheel travel ?
There are a lot of sharp turns in NFSPU.
Thanks.
Don, there is no guarantee that the cable stays on the barrel when doing this.
Happened to me once that the cable jumped off (in this stage of assembly),
though the assembly seemed to be correct.

BTW:
Hi None, if the cable is down finally, check out my webpage.
