I've found this to be either a dirty pot, where cleaning with contact cleaner/lubricant solves the problem, or a worn out pot needing replacement. Your problem appears to be the later. Marty

GET A DIGITAL WHEEL. OR A NEW POTENTIOMETER.

In windows my steering wheel has now got a bad case of the jitters !!!. The wheel in GPL shakes in one direction. windows joystick calibration it is doing the same thing. I have cleaned the pot in the wheel and tried reinstalling the device and no luck, All the driving sims I have are doing the same but it is VERY distracting when I'm trying to run off some laps in GPL!! Anyone have some ideas ?? Regards, Paul
