GPL LWFF needs constant recalibration! Help!

I have to recalibrate my LWFF every time I start GPL; can anyone explain why and if there is anything I can do to prevent this from happening? When I start GPL, I am taken to the Option screen. When I click on Calibrate, the calibration screen appears but when I move the wheel and pedals, there is no corresponding movement onscreen which seems like the wheel is not detected in the game. However, When I quit GPL and then restart the game, I can calibrate properly again. This is getting a bit tiresome and I hope someone has a solution for this, I'd be most obliged. My setup: Intel PIII450 128 MB SDRAM GeForce 256 SDR VGA card Logitech WFF wheel Win98SE Directx 7a GPL 1.02, force feedback enabled.

before starting GPL go to Control Panel/Game Controllers, highlight the LWFF entry and hit "refresh" On Tue, 08 Feb 2000 23:41:48 +0800, Sunny Chow <[email hidden]> wrote:
