My MSFF wheel was ok, but now, after it was unconnected to the electricity for a while, it is not well centered anymore. Also the test screen show this. And "advice" in the help just says something like "calibrating is authomatic"... Do I have to reinstall? And if I do, are my profiles then gone? Arto

I had this problem and for the life of me I couldn't figure it out. The wheel centered ok, but for some reason the handmounts at the usual 9oclock and 3 oclock positions were out of whack. The Wheel was kind of listing to the left. I returned my wheel thinking something was wrong, and then the second wheel did the same thing. I figured out what was up, the wheel has to be centered when the power comes on. If it is not, it just assumes that it is centered correctly. If you disconnect the power at the back of the wheel, and then center the wheel and reconnect the power your problem will be solved. Andrew
If you do have to install it, save your current profiles to another directory. Uninstall won't remove them from another location, so you'll be safe to copy them all back once you have re-installed the software. * Master of Magic *

I'm not sure it has to be centered when you turn it on, i think it can be all the way to the left or right too, but i'm not really sure. > I had this problem and for the life of me I couldn't figure it out.

I solve the problem thusly; disconnect power. Pull wheel full _left_. Connect power. Wheel will stop at center. /petern
