Having trouble getting wheel to operate correctly. It's very hard to keep the car going straight as it seems to somewhat have a mind of its own. Running Windows XP. Anyone have any good settings or can steer me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Have the Momo force (the red one) and am using 4.30 drivers for the wheel. Thanks much MILO
Just for the heck of it, try setting the steering assist to 10-12% and see if that helps.

When I first got mine, it had some horrendous "corrections" whenever I'd turn the steering wheel (I turn left, the wheel would fiercely try to yank itself back to the right). I more or less solved it by cranking in-game damping to 18%. John DiFool
Part of your problem could be that you may need to recalibrate the wheel each time. Once in the O/S, and again within the sim. Some guys also find that when they get into the car, they turn the wheel full left and then full right a couple of times. Apparently, and I am not sure why, this can help.

Well, GPL refuses to recognize it the first time I load GPL each session, so I have to reload it again to get it to let me calibrate the wheel. In NR2003, I have the occasional yet maddening problem of the wheel suddenly "miscalibrating" (usually when I yank it all the way over to one side when going through a hairpin). I'll remember your tip tho, thanks. John DiFool

I think it's part of the MOMO hardware, it has a self-centering function. So, as soon the cockpit appears, I turn the wheel full left and full right. I do this in practice and at the start of any race. I think the centering is more pronounced on ISI sims than Papyrus, but I do it for either. dave henrie
