Hi, My T2 has been out of action for a while now due to a strange jerk to the right when I was calibrating the wheel to turn left! The new GPL demo finally made me try to do something about it. I stripped the wheel right down this evening and cleaned the steering pot. I tested it before putting it all back together and it worked again! Yes!!! Unfortunately as I was putting the wheel back together, I managed to break two of the three wires going to the steering pot. As I didn't intend taking these off in the first place, I didn't write down in advance which wire went to which contact. Could someone please tell me the correct order? It would be most appreciated. Also, when I was testing after cleaning, Windows95 insisted the joystick wasn't connected (wasn't using the adaptor), but the Screamer Rally config worked fine. I'm going to try the Thrustmaster Pro Panel, but has anyone got any other ideas? Lastly, back to GPL. I can't believe the way it feels. Every lap amazes me. I've been following Papyrus sims since Indy 500 on the Amiga and have always liked their `realistic` driving models. I've spent more time driving the one circuit in the FREE GPL demo than I have playing some other full driving `sims`. Again, many thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. Chris Hart

Okay, viewed from above (the three "arms pointing at my nose, with the spindle towards me)Nothing to the left, the gray and brown ones in centre, and the white to the right Hope it helped:) I set my T2 up as a 4-button, 2 axis joystick under win95, no checking for pedals,. and w/adapter.
