Wow, mine doesn't act like that at all, in fact I would say that my LWFF feels smoother and more precise in GP3 than in any other sim I own. I could email my .con file to you if you'd like to try it. It's really just a .con file from bhmotorsports with a few slight changes. Have you played with the sensitivity adjustments in the controllers/advanced menu in the sim? I normally don't use the centering spring in my profiles but with GP3 I've found it to help, you might try that.

I installed gp3 and i think it looks ok to me (graphics etc) but my wheel feels so wrong. I dld a couple sets from bhm (which got my wheel working yippee) but now the ff effects seem to throw me off. I don't know if it is just the cars (don't know what an f1 is supposed to feel like)or my setup. At speed if i move the wheel just a bit off line the wheel starts to shake back and forth. likewise into corners it seems to yank too hard (with respect to what i am seeing visually). I don't know jack about f1 and I'm used to playing gpl so i don't know if i need to fix my controller setup/get rid of ff/or just deal with the fact that this is what it is supposed to feel like. Any help appreciated. Chris Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Good news: I did experience oscillating with my LWFF. Bad news: I'm not sure what I did to fix it - I suspect Don Hodgdon may be right with his suggestion of a little self-centring. I haven't any complaints about the feel in the corners. Tony Whitley <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8mfdbt$e4i$[email hidden]...

Any help appreciated.

You could also try increasing the "reduce sensitivity with speed" adjustment to get rid of the violent side to side oscillation. Tony Whitley wrote:
