Hi, I'm using a Thrustmaster F1 Wheel in CMR and I have to say its great, very precise handling. In TOCA it was unplayable, the wheel was far too sensitve so its a great improvement. Only problem is that the wheel and pedals have an annoying effect on the Menus even when the w+p's are calibrated well. HTH Keith Quinton.

The main menu spins around of its own accord - other in-game menus are better, but they can still flick to a different option at the last minute, just as you press return. The worst effect is that if you finish a rally in the top 3, you are usually treated to the celebration sequence where the top three cars drive up to a display ramp. With the joystick problem, the sequence finishes straight away. I have actually found a workaround - if I hold my stick top-left during this sequence, or whilst using the menus, everything is fine. My stick is calibrated okay - no problems at all with any other game. Chris Hart

I get "twitchy" problems with this, TOCA, F1RS and GPL with the F1 Sim. The steering system with this wheel isn't particulary well designed. I would reccommend taking your wheel back and getting a Thrustmaster (that's what I'm going to do) or splashing out on a TSW, Paul

I had the same mad-menu problem till I changed the tick box in the Joystick control box from a tick to nothing.
