Hi,
i just buy a Guillemot Ferrari FF wheel, and i'm not able to calibrate it
in Windows, i need to turn the wheel from15 to 30 degrees clockwise to point
the center ;-(((, in GPL we can calibrate the wheel and it's OK, but 95% of
the game on the market take Windows calibration and it's very annoying to
turn the wheel to go straight, especially in RC2000 (narrow road), that my
friend (Jim Clark) encourage me to play with, to challenge him ;-))).
(if this problem is solved: i find the wheel very good, if it's not: piece
of crap)
HELP!!!
a patch?
any tweak?
garbage?
"Poele T-Fal"?
T1?
Gravis gamepad?
Gameboy?
an old RX7?
Stone Cold Steve Austin?
IT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE!!
;-)

The fix is quite simple, but you have to take the wheel apart. Email me if
you want to give it a try. I've also called Phillipe at Gmot's tech support
and walked him through the fix. They are now offering it as an option
instead of sending the wheels back for exchange.

I am glad the customers know more than the Tech. support officials. This
has certainly been my experience with the Ferrari wheel and Guillemot tech.

'How-To' article on this. I'll finish it by this weekend and post it or send
it to those requesting it. Again, this fix will apply forces to both sides
of the wheel evenly so the wheel won't spring back off center. Its a fairly
easy fix and obviously, once its done, the wheel produces better and
stronger forces. I'll also include how to shorten the throw of the stick
shifter, and for the not so faint of heart, how to align the wheel with the
cross-hairs in the control panel. It'll also include pictures to make it all
easier. Sorry for the inconvenience. Bare with me, the fix is worth it.

then can't get on the news server so it goes in your out box. Then you
forward the post to your home so you can post it from there, but you forget
to clear the out box at work. Oh well, I never said I was the brightest
candle on the cake.

As promised, the fix is here:
