Thrustmaster Wheel (HW) Prob

I have a Thrustmaster Formula 1 (Nascar Pro in the US). In the in-car view the steering wheel appears to jitter when held on anything other than straight ahead. Is this a software/graphics glitch, or is my steering pot on the way out (i've never used the in-car view until i got the 3D card)? If the pot is dodgy can i clean it, or is it a replacement job? TIA Rich

I have the same wheel, with alot of miles on it. Still on the original pots but i do have to clean them periodically...actually less and less over time. You can spray the insides of the pots with electrical contact cleaner, but initially this may dissolve the grease inside and make the problem worse, in which case you'll need to take the pot apart and clean by hand.

Or do you have an awe64 pci , awe128 or Live ( player) soundcard? I had exact the same problem with an awe128. It had something to do with the soundsamples, so someone made a patch for it. It should be somewhere on the net. Just a thought... Later, Arthur.
