You may do better if you change your steering ratio. 7:1 is a very small ratio in my experience. I use an Act Labs Force RS wheel and have the linearity slider set to fully linear (all the way to the left) and use a steering ratio of between 15:1 to 17:1 depending on the track. Anything lower than 15:1 reduces my ability to correct the inevitable mistakes I make.

I just got the MS Racing Pro NON FF wheel. I've found that when I play GPL I'm able to control the car better by setting the properties (in the game itself) all the way over to non-linear instead of linear, which is where I used to have it when I was using a joystick. I thought before hand, that the linear setting would be best, but it's still too sensitive. This is on the Monza track with the steering angle set to 7 to 1. Do you guys have it set like I have at the moment or do I just suck incredibly ? My best time so far is a 1:34:xx which equals what I used to get with my joystick, but I'm slowly bringing it down because now at least I can control the throttle and braking as well.

7-1 is your problem buddy. There is nowhere at Monza that needs anywhere near that amount of lock. My own setup is based on a ratio of 18-1 MS "Incubus" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:br_85.30031$[email hidden]... > I just got the MS Racing Pro NON FF wheel.
