Steering was OK in 1.0 version,but after I installed 1.2.0.1 patch my steering wheel feel changed. It become loose around center. It happens just around center. It feels like FF is off, but just around center of the wheel. I was looking in ini files but I found nothing. Does anyone how to make it more stiff around center? I have Logitech Wingman Formula Force and 4.25 drivers.

I have the same problem as well, and steering assistance is not on. On Sun, 26 Oct 2003 02:30:59 +0200, "Marijan" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Same problem here with the MS FB wheel. Also had the problem before the patch. However, the Beta patch worked great!!! There was no play in the wheel. I actually felt the FF working. The only tracks I'm experiencing the " loose wheel " is Dega and daytona. The other tracks are " loose " but not as bad. To get the car to go straight ( dega, tona) my wheel is turned at the 11 and 5 o'clock position. ( \ ) When I enter a turn there is no steering left until I hit the 8 and 2 o'clock position ( / ) and then the FB kicks in. And no its not the camber or setup that is causing this... It's a software bug. A Known bug!. Funny thing is, as soon as I leave the server the FB kicks in and the wheel tightens up and moves itself to the proper position. 9 and 3 o'clock. But as soon as I enter a server.. the FB lets go and feels like there is no spring tension. And yes, the FB in game is set to the max. One way I found to combat this problem is, and only works one time. Before I boot my pc, I'll have to unplug the wheel. (no power going to the FB). When I enter a server. Enter the track. I'll plug the wheel in and the FB is tightens up and all is well. Downside. If the host resets, I'm screwed. If I leave the server and enter another, the wheel will go back to being loose. Dunno why???
I've got exactly the same issue. I thought my wheel was dying but it's only in N2003 1.2.0.1 that it does it. Momo race wheel. massivechicken "Pvt." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:yodnb.14449$[email hidden]...

Try to erase your player and create another one after the patch installation. "Marijan" <[email hidden]> escreveu na mensagem news:bnf4k5$4n3$[email hidden]...

that doesn't work. After the patch I un- installed and reinstalled the game. Its a bug in the game itself. The beta patch had this issue taken care of. Why it doesn't work know? no clue?
That's odd because my steering finally feels the way it should have all along only after applying the latest patch. Try playing with *all* the adjustments and make sure you are using the full linear (like real cars) setting. Marc "Marijan" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bnf4k5$4n3$[email hidden]...

Very odd indeed. I can't see a difference with the 1.2.0.1 patch playing texas with the MOMO. Except I think I had to reset the Force Feedback strength in the options menu. Make sure it's 100% if you think the force feedback feels too weak!! But in any case I definitely didn't have any "loose" wheel problem. It felt tight just fine around center position...
