I just switched from using the keyboard to using a T2 wheel.
Damn, it got real squirley. It was so squirley that I had a very
difficult time keeping the car in a straight line. At Brazil
when I make the slight left bend on the front straight I usually spin
off in to the cosmos. So, I tried and adjusting the steering lock
to 8 from 12 degrees. This helped.
Has anyone else experienced this or am I just loopy?
It is a shame that this adjustment can only be made globally and not
within the individual car setup modes.

This sounds like you have a joystick port that can't keep up with the
speed of your computer.
If your wheels seem to "twitch" when you slowly turn your wheel to full
left and right - it's a good sign you have a joystick port that can't
handle the speed.
You should have *much* better control-especially coming from KEYBOARD
input. (ooohhhh, gives me the "willies")

I had a similar problem to this with an old yoke I was using (sorry, can't remember
the name). However, I recently bought the CH Virtual Pilot yoke and haven't
had this problem since. The control response is really smooth, and although harder
(more realistic ) than the keyboard, it is more interesting. Yes, playing around with
the steering lock made a difference with the earlier yoke, but it never solved the
problem.
