More problems with Act Labs Force RS wheel!!

I had recently posted a message here regarding the strange notchy feeling in the Act Labs Force RS wheel. Well, I suppose I have finally gotten used to the feel of the wheels (although the pedals still suck!), but now have an even greater problem. When racing in SCGT, nearly every time I spin out, the wheel becomes out of whack and looses its calibration; it doesn't reset itself. Have you ever tried driving with your wheels out of alignment? It's nearly impossible. I don't know how many times I've lost races because the wheel would not reset. I just got through racing Limerock in my Saleen, second place with less than seven minutes to go, and of course a slower driver I was trying to lap knocked me right off the track (gee, that's never happened). I spun, the wheel lost its calibration, and I lost the race. One trick I have tried with mixed success is to make a quick pit stop, and when the computer takes over, kill the power to the wheel from the power strip (there is no on/off switch, right?) and quickly reset it. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Either way, this is no solution. Is anyone else having this problem? Is it the game or the wheel? I just don't think ff is ready for prime time. Thanks, David Is there gas in the car? Yes, there's gas in the car.

Yes, I get this with my TM Force GT, the only solution I've come up with is to pause the game and move the wheel fully left and right a few times, that seems to clear it. Those back markers are a real pain! Andi.
